Program held an open summer workout today for some supporters (not sure how I made the cut). NCAA limits them to 1 hour on the court, 4 days a week. They follow that with weights and then summer school. 14 guys practiced today - the transfer from CSUN is getting his certificate tomorrow from the school, and will be allowed to practice after that.
lots of very spirited one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-two drills on both defense and offense. Stokes really looks much stronger this year, and his jumper is much improved. Chappell looks bigger, and still has the smooth stroke. Omer's game took another jump!
Hard to get a read on the new guys except that we are MUCH bigger and MUCH longer than in the past. The big guys all can run, and most have nice shots - modern players. Noble does NOT look or play like a freshman. He's a real physical presence.
Game times are still TBA, and sounds like that won't change for a few weeks.
Thanks for the update! I also got this invitation but work takes precedence. This might be the biggest overall team we’ve had. Hopefully that translates to some good interior defense and rebounding. I’m eager to see how this team comes together
Thanks, Mike. My wife and I got the invitation also. We had planned to attend but I came down with a nasty, summer cold a couple days ago and I didn't think it would be a good idea to spread it around!
The invite mentioned that there would be some"insights from Les." Did he have anything to say about the team and the upcoming season?
