With Joe Jo coming back and DJ coming in, it is "hard to imagine a better frontline" than the one in College Station. Joe pulled out of the NBA draft when no team would commit to drafting him. One more year of college, one year of college with DJ in particular, should go a long way to getting that commitment in the next draft. With DJ commanding the low post, Joe will have the chance to step out. Tugeon is "not going to get away from his bread and butter" but he will "try and stretch him out to 15 and 17 feet.” As a former NBA assistant, Turgeon knows exactly what NBA teams are looking for. Giving Joe an outside game is key, along with proving "his knee is structurally sound", and improving his "explosiveness.”

In a year there will be at least four Aggies in the NBA. Will the number of Aggies in the NBA ever be larger than the number in the NFL? Well no. We have 32 players in the NFL right now. Maybe if you caveat it with the number of active players who were drafted in the first round. We have not had a guy go in the first round in a few years. I will look into this.
