The good parts that Coach JJ is talking about starts at the 5:30 mark of the interview. He says JOB is getting up at 6:30 every morning to do his workout and you can see a big difference in his body. He also says JOB was at Lebron James basketball camp and also Amarie Stoudamires bball camp and both of those camps are by INVITATION only. Sounds like JOB is looking for that first round baby. He also says that the fresham Martin has a game similar to John Williams with his all around game of shooting, passing, ball handling etc.... For those who don't know who John Williams is, he was a stud in 1986 when he led LSU to the final four. Can't wait for that first game against UMASS! We got the facilities. We got the coach. We got the fans (even though most are fair weathered). Time to put the plan in motion and rise to the top. I can see LSU being consistently in the top 20 for at least the next decade.

Great to hear. Conditioning has held JOB3 back alot in his first year, and to a lesser extent but still this past year.

I didn't see quite that kind of versatility in what I've seen from Martin, but I do think the the skill level is impressive and the fact that he's pretty green experience-wise, would indicate to me a high cieling for improvement, which is encouraging.

I'd love to see that, but I'll stay cautiously optimistic and hope that comes to fruition.

It normally takes a team with this many new parts awhile to find its grove.

I'm not sure what UMass has or what you are expecting, but I hope our fans can remain supportive if we struggle some early.

Glad Mickey got cleared up. Hopefully Bridgewater will be soon.

Also great to hear JOB seems to be committed to improving his game.

I hope Martin, unlike Big John, knows that the clock doesn't start on and in bounds play until a player touches the ball. ;)

"candy & nuts"

If Shaq had 75% of the basketball skills that John Williams had, Shaq would have been the greatest basketball player of all-time.
