WSIL video with player interviews (Domask, Francois, Benson). Good stuff here:
Loved this - thank you for sharing !!!!!
A nice listen. I REALLY liked how respectful he was of the previous staff. I think Aaron is going to have a big year. Mullins will help take his, already good, D to another level.

Funny Reis joked about Cook's voice at the end--I was thinking the whole time that he could have a future in broadcasting when he's finished with basketball.
(Inflammatory political snark)
All great interviews. You can tell by the tones of their voices that they all excited and happy. Good stuff.

As a Mr Basketball from Wisconsin, Domask could really be a game changer even as a freshman. Out of curiousity, I looked at previous Mr Bball award winners from Wisconsin, and this guy is in some pretty insane company which includes 4 NBA draft selections - 3 of which were first rounders - just in the past 7 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_Mr._Basketball
Out of the most recent winners who are still playing since the guys who went into the NBA:
2018's winner, Jordan McCabe, played about 18 minutes / game as a freshman in 35 games for West Virginia, averaging nearly 6 points and 2.5 assists / game.
2016's winner, Sam Hauser, averaged about 9 points / game as a freshman with Marquette in 32 games, and then went on to average 14 and 15 points / game as a sophomore and junior.
2016's other winner (apparently there was a tie that year), Trevor Anderson, went to a fellow mid-major in UW Green Bay and put up about 10 points / game as a freshman, and then decided to transfer to UW Madison where it looks like he didn't see the court that much.
So I would almost expect Domask to start - if not right away, then pretty early in the season just if you compare him with some of his predecessor's production levels. And looking into his upperclassman years is even more intriguing when you have Marcus and Harvey out on the perimeter, and Malik William roaming the paint.
Wonder when we will hear something on Davis and William. Hopefully both eligible. You would think they would be, right?

If Domask and Harvey both turn into prolific scorers, there is a lot of upside for the next few years. Have to identify the lead PG of the future ... I’d be surprised if we don’t add one in the 2020 class. Without having seen Brown or Jones yet, not sure if they’re candidates or better off the ball.
Of course we are adding a point guard for 2020, we've already offered five point guards for 2020!

As we all know, it's more important who finishes.

Domask and Trent Brown are extremely intriguing freshman.

Suggs is finally on campus. Had to finish up at Mizzou before he could be official.
