Iowa's State Joshua Jefferson, Tamin Lipsey and Milan Momcilovic offer praise for assistant JR Blount being hired as HC of @usdmbb JJ: "I think JR is going to be an amazing coach in San Diego. I think he's the right man for the job with the amount of energy and the plan he is going to set forth. I think he is going to succeed really well." TL: "Obviously I think he is going to succeed as well. I have been with him for four years. My whole college career, he has been the one I have been watching film with, developing my game, all of that. He has gotten me to where I am as a player. That goes to show his development and what he can do on the court. As a coach, as a head coach I know he is going to be great. I know he is going to be very enthusiastic. He is going to be enthusiastic on both sides of the ball. I know for us he was huge on defense. That's where his strengths are, and I feel like he will probably transition that great to San Diego." MM: "Yeah, I think he recruited me when I was in high school. First and foremost, he will be an elite recruiter. He will bring the right guys into that program. I think he will build it from the bottom up. He is a great competitor, like these guys said. He's a winner a great man with a great family. I got nothing but the most confidence that San Diego will be a great program moving forward."
