I should say I want to give major props to TJ for everything, he has been incredible. I think he is actually improving as a game day coach right in front of our eyes.

But especially - I was thinking about the transfers he has brought in. Do we have any big ticket transfers from other P5 teams? No. Actually not one.

TJ has carved out a likely Top 20 team with a 16-4 record and near the top of the Big 12 with transfers from:

Buffalo (C. Jones)
Denver (R. Jones)
Eastern Kentucky (King)
VCU (Ward)
UNLV (Gilbert)
Wofford (Pav)

It takes an unbelievably sharp mind and game plan, as well as self-belief in what you want, to land SIX transfers from the mid-major or lower level (Wofford and E. Kentucky are low majors) and craft them together with your HS recruits and out of that brew, viola! Top tier Big 12 team as well as Top 20 in the country.

Think about that! Is there another P5 team that has this many mid-low major transfers that is having this kind of success? Just mind blowing. So far outside the box!!! Well done TJ!
