[Da Coach]

When I started to upload these video clips, I realized I had nearly one hour of video. So it's broken down into many short clips.
Here are the short video clips from the player-intro part of the Itoo Hall event.

Jim Les begins introductions by lauding the fan support--

The juniors-
Chris Roberts- Coach Les says he was awed by his athleticism when he first saw him, but that Chris is even a better person than he is a basketball player.--

Dodie Dunson- Coach jokes that Dodie first went to Illinois State (everyone is entitled to one mistake), then he went to Iowa State (he was down to 2 strikes), but then he "starts swinging" and cames to Bradley. He compiments Dodie as "talented, but just a tremendous individual".--
