Wes, Dan Skillings and Connor Hickman will meet with the media this afternoon at 1:15 p.m. (will stream live on X -- @GoBearcatsMBB)

Nuggets per Keegan Nickoson:
- Wes calls Jizzle James "a significantly better player" now
- Wes said Rayvon led UC in rebounds, both offensive and defensive, this summer
- Wes confirms season-ending knee surgery for McKinley
- Look for Halvine Dzellat to redshirt this season
- Transfer Connor Hickman was Mike Rehfeldt's "Monster of the Summer"
- Hickman on his 40" vertical: "It's surprised some people. I'm 6'2", white, with a combover" -- added that he dunked on Rayvon in practice. (Dan Skillings: "It wasn't a body, but it was a good dunk. I can't believe he said that up here.")
- Dan Skillings: "My plan coming into college was to do three years and then go to the NBA, but that's not my mindset right now, my mind is so far from that. I'm focused on winning."
- Dan: "I bet Simas, Jizzle, Aziz and me were all offered more money to play somewhere else, but we're all here...It says a lot about this program and Coach Wes."
- Dan said he's improved his shot a lot
