00:00 Yeah, well, first, you know, proud of Trey, you know, joining the Hall of Honor.
00:04 You know, it's, you know, it's, we've had a lot of great players that have come through
00:08 here, but that is a big deal.
00:09 He accomplished a lot last year.
00:12 And I think this year it's still forming.
00:13 And, you know, the thing that we've liked seeing from, you know, four returning scholarship
00:19 guys and, you know, Joey Baker, Wendell Moore, Matthew Hurd, and Jerome Goldwire, all of
00:24 them have led in their own ways.
00:25 You know, they have different personalities.
00:28 I think it's going to be something where sometimes it's by committee, because it's not necessarily
00:31 one guy that's going to be the leader, the most vocal all the time.
00:39 And all four of those guys are figuring out their roles on this team.
00:42 And they're all going to have bigger roles in different ways.
00:46 But all four of them have done a great job in their own capacity.
00:50 Yeah, Joey, you know, Joey, if you ask anybody in our program, players, coaches, managers,
00:58 whoever may be, they're going to rave about Joey.
01:02 You know, he's as hard of a worker as we have on the team.
01:05 You know, he's a guy who's always, you know, if he's not the first one in practice, he's
01:09 definitely going to be the last one.
01:12 And he has more to his name.
01:14 You know, I think, you know, Joey's the guy basically, all we have to tell him is, you
01:18 know, just relax.
01:20 It's going to happen because he wants it so badly.
01:22 And you love to coach a guy like that.
01:24 And you know, like you said, he's been working hard this summer, and being able to attack
01:28 those outs and put the ball on the floor and be a decision maker.
01:32 Like when he's under control and gets in the paint, he can be a very good passer and playmaker
01:38 force.
01:39 So and not to mention, he's even a quicker shooter, you know, gets a shot off a variety
01:45 of ways.
01:46 He has seven threes the other day in practice.
01:48 And so I didn't want to just skip over that part.
01:51 It's the end of the day, making shots, a heck of a skill to have, you know, especially for
01:55 Joey.
