This is the greatest thing I have seen since we beat houston. My god this is amazing. He immediately calls out will wade & Lsu, demands a game and some other amazing quotes. I can’t wait for b-ball!!!!!

[WavyHoops]

If we take Coach's preview seriously, the 8-man rotation is Lawson, Thompson, Thomas, Walker, ROE, Zhang, Koka plus whomever earns a spot in practice. These are men vs last year's boys and I'm looking forward to it.

Truly a thing of beauty. If this doesnt make you laugh and also excited you need to lighten up

[squilz]

Hunter showing the same traits we see in WF. Proven winners at smaller schools, exuberant energy that seems to translate to the players well. Dannen clearly knows his type. Let's hope this squad shows up like football has.

[Bicoastalwave]

I hope after a (hopefully) successful football season/conference championship willie & Troy can start calling out LSU in football as well.

The freshman Charlie Russell will have a good shot at being part of that rotation. If Days is up to it it will be him rather than Koka.

Am I confusing our Frosh, or was Charlie the one that was headed towards a PG year of Prep School before we offered?

I would think Days, being our most highly touted recruit in a few years, would be in the 8 man rotation, but he was a Dunleavy recruit.

He wasn't highly recruited. I believe he had an injury that limited his time on the AAU circuit. The coach has been very high on him. Others locally that I trust were too. I think he's going to develop into a good one. Time will tell.

What impresses me beyond the hype is the emphasis on practice and earning your spot. I don’t think there’s any doubt that win or lose the new team is going to fight like hell.

This guy is great to have here!

Thanks for the link, ww. It's definitely worth listening.

I love coach Hunter's honesty and straight forward approach. It's not that I don't love him, it's that I fear for him. He's on a bigger stage now. Taking some media relations coaching might be a good move.

But he's fun to listen to and I think the team will be much improved.

Roll Wave!

I love this hire, regardless of the end result. Certainly going to check out some games next year.
Hunter gets it. Listen to his words

[winwave]

Let them go pro. Good solution as already talked about here.

[Ruski]

John Brannen (Cincinnati), Aaron McKie (Temple) and Ron Hunter (Tulane) are the new coaches in this league. Who will have the biggest immediate impact on his team?

Gasaway: Hunter. The Green Wave are still a year or three or more away -- don't get me wrong. But in terms of a coach altering the trajectory of a program compared to where it was going otherwise, Hunter is my choice to make the biggest difference. In 2011, he inherited a Georgia State program that had finished under .500 in seven consecutive seasons, and all he did was win 64% of his games over the course of eight years in Atlanta. Again, Tulane would be a tough rebuild for any coach, but all things considered, getting Hunter to New Orleans was a quality hire.

Medcalf: I think you'll see an immediate shift in the culture at Tulane with Hunter. But John Brannen can win now with a healthy Jarron Cumberland.

Borzello: Long-term, I think the answer is Hunter. He has already landed three talented graduate transfers, but the Green Wave haven't won a game since December and won't be an AAC factor this season. The biggest immediate impact needs to come from Brannen.

Hightower will be a difference maker if eligible:

I love the big brother comments

[Bicoastalwave]

Love it. Really really hoping hightower can play. Lord knows we need as much help as we can get this year. Guerreys article says he thought Hightower was the best player on the court in the scrimmage and sounds like RH thinks hes one of the top 3.

[anEngineer]

You have to love Coach Hunter laughing about Tulane picked to finish last. He says that's just not going to happen. He certainly makes you believe and I'm sure the players feel it even more.

[winwave]

He really is fun to watch. They showed it on all the stations locally with him looking into the cameras and saying 'IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN". Then the anchors followed it with "I can't wait to see his press conferences".
