After a quick jab at President Donald Trump, Coach K made it known that he’ll put a talented group on the Huntsman Center floor next month. He also knows that it’s a very young group — with only three seniors on the roster — that has a lot of things to work on before tip-off. He’s counting on leadership within the program as well as some NBA influence to help push the young guys along.
