Those hands. Meet senior Kendall Coleman, and they are hard to ignore – thick, muscular wrists, fleshy palms and slender fingers that exude confidence. Authority.

They are hands that clenched in agony in 2017, when Coleman tore his left labrum against Louisville, causing him to consider giving up playing.
