After reading some of the post-game comments from both jt3 and bb, i'm beginning to think that they may have had a fairly extensive sit-down meeting recently. two comments in particular struck me. the first was from jt3 after the game when he said something to the effect of jeff is always doing the little things that need to get done while brandon is a much better player when he pays attention to the little things. the gist of the 2nd comment was from bb after the game when he said essentially that coach is on him sometimes about his defense and he realized maybe we wasn't as focused as he needed to be in the 1st half and so he stepped it up in the 2nd.
Let me say that this is in no way a bb ripping thread. i've been VERY pleased with recent play for the most part. these 2 comments just make me think that some of the thoughts about bb that were expressed a few weeks ago on this board may have been shared by the coaching staff. of course this is just conjecture but certainly it seems that bb's play has been demonstrably improved these past few games (barring the ND hiccup) and it makes me wonder if someone didn't take him aside at some point and really discuss some of the areas in his game that needed improvement. Kudos to him, though, either way. It seems he has really buckled down these past couple of games and become the player and the senior leader that we had hoped he would be. Kudos to brandon.
