Kimani joins the show. 12 minute interview. Talks about recruiting, the improvement in the program, the NCAA Tournament run, etc.

I always enjoy his interviews. He did an interview last year (i think it was after Nova) where he made a couple really funny jokes. A very thoughtful guy. Im sure the team loves him. AK seems to from his interviews. You can tell the 2 of them are close by the way they interact late in games we're winning when AK comes off the court. They always hug each other, and AK ends up laughing at something Kimani said. I believe AK said Kimani was his primary recruiter, so they talk alot.

Some school is going to be really, really lucky to get him when his time comes.

I'm almost certain that Tom Moore was his primary recruiter.

I love this guy. What a great story. I hope he crushes it as a head coach (while deciding he wants to stick around another year).

Great interview

Good interview we are lucky to have him as well as Luke. I am also sure having that “staple” at the program in Tom Moore is a little underrated as well.

Totally agree with that thought. I believe we have the most complete staff in the country. Tom Moore isn’t going anywhere, and that gives me comfort as a fan. I think he plays a bit of a George Blaney role, but with considerably stronger recruiting bona fides than Blaney.

Youre right. My bad. Maybe he was secondary, or maybe im just making up stuff in my head.
