I feel good about our chances with Monk. I had been somewhat concerned because Monk is close to Archie Goodwin, and I suspect Archie didn't have the greatest experience in his one year at UK.
If you follow Archie on Twitter however you know that he is very much into the BBN. He follows the team and current players. He also communicates and is friends with all the other UK guys in the NBA. That is a bigger advantage that most realize, and becomes and even bigger advantage as we get more guys in the NBA. Being in the BBN doesn't just cover that one or two years these guys spend in Lexington. They are part of the extended BBN family in the pros too - that's something Arkansas can't match.
