New Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin met with C.J. Roberts and his family Saturday morning in suburban Dallas.
Roberts came away impressed, his father Craig Roberts Sr. told The Star by phone.
“C.J. thought Coach Martin was really cool and he did something that impressed me even more,” Roberts Sr. said. “After we left the meeting, I took C.J. to get a new phone and we went to eat. Coach Martin called and said, ‘We’ve got to communicate, so I’m going to call you and I want you to call me. Let’s make sure we keep the lines of communication open with each other.
