Putmon instantly was welcomed into the family.<\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t even call him a director; that\u2019s a friend and a brother to us,\u201d Johnson said of Putmon. \u201cWe love him to death, for sure. With him, we could be ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">Bibby added: \u201cHe\u2019s easy to work with and talk to.

It\u2019s definitely a recruiting tool for us,\u201d Bibby said during the panel. \u201cWe need all the help we can get. We\u2019ve never made the [NCAA Division I] Tournament and that\u2019s our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">The rest of the series will air Fridays on Roku TV and Saturdays on Overtime\u2019s YouTube channel over the next six weeks. It could very well serve as a valuable marketing tool for Sac State athletics, which has been heavily invested into by university President Dr. Luke Wood.<\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">\u201cHe\u2019s doing a great job of trying to push [athletics] where it needs to be to make us a top-notch school,\u201d Bibby said. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna trickle all the way down.
