Episode description as stored

The 2026 Ingles Fast Break Summer Tour rolls into Lexington! VMI Head Coach Andrew Wilson and senior guard TJ Johnson discuss the Keydets' plan for the 2026 season. Coach Wilson holds nothing back — from the brutal reality of navigating last season's devastating injury wave to how he handled an emotional, late-night phone call involving the SEC. Plus, TJ Johnson opens up about the unique demands of cadet life, his deep-rooted faith, and why he chose to remain loyal to Coach Wilson's culture rather than walk away in the transfer portal. In This Episode: Andrew Wilson's late-night portal shocker: The 11:45 PM phone call from an SEC head coach "We run toward hard" — Breaking down VMI’s unique military landscape and the "Rat Line" culture TJ Johnson on cadet life: Box springs, "Hay Downs," mandatory boxing, and performing under pressure Roster breakdown — Retaining all-conference stars, an international recruiting haul, and five-hour coaching whirlwind memories Learning from legends — How mentors Bobby Cremins and Leonard Hamilton shaped Coach Wilson's bench philosophy Presented by Ingles Markets
