Dox n Jox: Episode #38 (12:30 mark).
A little season preview on the weekly sports medicine radio/podcast that Michael Potter (aka "Ferris") does with Dr. Dan Munton out of Texas. It's nice to hear Majerle interviewed by someone who actually knows Lopes basketball, and Potter asks solid questions that moved him mostly away from the coach speak and Standard GCU talking points we usually get when Majerle does national interviews.

Thanks for this! Enjoyed the interview. Hope what Dan said about Roberts Blumbergs actually shows itself on the court.

To be honest, I think Blumbergs actually has a broader skillset than Lever. But as incoming freshmen, the D1 stage was just too big for Blumberg. Lever was able to make his transition quicker because "he knows who he is" (a phrase Chris Jans likes to use to describe NMSU's new center Ivan Aurrecoechea.) Meaning he knows his strengths and tries to play to those exclusively.
From day one, Lever played to his strengths and didn't try to do things that were outside his skill set. "He knows who he is".
Blumbergs, on the other hand, was trying to find his game all season; and, where he fit into Majerle's system. He was not mentally ready to make the D1 jump a year ago. Looking forward, I still don't think Blumbergs will start this season. But that is mainly because of the addition of Michael Finke. Finke is just a more mature player right now. But I think WAC fans will see a more rounded, more confident version of Blumbergs this season. He will have a better understanding of his strengths and who he is as a Sophomore. Frankly, "if" both Lever and Blumbergs remain at GCU through their Senior season, I wouldn't be surprised to see Blumbergs' draft stock actually surpass Lever's. I think Blumbergs has that much upside.

Monty in the Morning on 1580 the Fanatic
Honestly the best interview of Coach Majerle I have heard in a while, and the most composed and "thoughtful" I have heard him during an interview. Not sure how else to say it, other than this sounded like a more grounded, mature version of Coach Majerle. A good friend suggested he sounded "like a professional coach." Not that he hasn't been that, but I can get down with this mellower version of Majerle.
