Kudos, looks like everyone has the right mindset to really put in that hard work and prep.

All depends on RJ. If RJ is as good as some believe he’s the starter and I hope he is. I mean without seeing Gaffs improvements we don’t need a 30% shooter again that can’t guard quick points. Here’s hoping he worked on all of that he’ll get plenty of time then. Certainly like what we see here.

I really like how Gaffney finished the season last year and I expect him to be better this year.
If Cole is demonstrably better than Gaffney and coaches see it, Huskies are in a very good position for the season at PG.

I do expect Gaffney to average about 22-25 mpg regardless if he starts or comes off the bench.

Even with those issues i like the kid. He was a freshmen and appeared to be one of those kids that needs time to adjust to the college level. I dont think its a coincidence that we started winning when he started getting minutes and starts. I think hes going to be a 4 year player whos going to leave here with a lot of wins.

Agree with everyone here re: Gaffney. He took a while to acclimate to the college game last year, but I like that he didn't force things. He let the game come to him, and eventually, it did. Next step is creating more offense. This kind of physical improvement should really help him

Dude, this is 100% on point. AG was on a bad run, floppin around, turning the ball over, trying to force his way through double coverage, taking bad shots. Hurley's directive for Jalen I'm sure, was control the ball, manage the offense, and get others involved, and he did a fine job as a freshman, better and better as the season progressed and his confidence grew. He kept his offensive game in his pocket; I don't think he was ready to let it rip. Year two here, should be fun to watch.
 
I've been bullish on Gaffney because I like the way he ran the team.

He plays like a floor general and his teammates respect him.

I've heard real good things about Cole and his film looks real good too.

I want to see how the team functions with Cole running it.
