Hey Rivals team,
Any info on the following... I realize your efforts are on Football but basketball updates would be apreciated.
1) Saturday's closed scrimmage with WYO
2) Reccruiting, namely C Williams, The two Denver bigs and the Austrailian big guy
3) How are practices progressing? Any notable injuries?
4) The game this Sunday vs. The Huskers
Really late here regarding my observations of the scrimmage a couple of weeks ago so here goes.
1) J'Vonne H is a relentless high energy effort kid. He is a tough, strong and will garner some minutes with the second unit. Like this Soph.
2) Lawson L... still mssing shots around the rim but noticeably sronger and in better shape. Still hanging his head a bit but his effort is there. He will be the starting C and just needs to rebound, block some shots, set some picks and get a few put backs each game.
3) KJ and Hammond looked good playing together. This allows KJ to play off of the ball more and use his ability to get to the hoop.
4) KJ- bigger, stronger and smarter. Still the occasional bad decision and hopefully his shot will improve but he looks solid and ready to go.
5) Jalen G looked to be the best overall player on the court to me. He can really get to the rim and is a dam good defender too. Strong, smart kid. Great pick-up by Tad.
6) E Wright was just off on his three's (made only one) but works hard and never gets down on himself. Mature kid who I still think will occasionally get the start dependkng on the opponent.
7) Javon R- he looked pretty dang good until he tweaked his ankle. He was right in froont of me when it happened but glad to hear he is good to go.
I was pleasantly surprised with his game.
8) Luke OB- good looking strong athlete who has really improved his overall game. Nice stroke and busts hi a** in D. Tad loves this kid and he will see major minutes this year.
9) Joel H- typical freshman who looks lost at times but will have a dam good overall offensive game by next hear. It's just tough coming in here from a small school and competing against men. But, he will need to play 10-15m per game to give our other Bigs a rest.
10) Tristan- was doubled team alot (by design I assume) so he didn't get untracked. I expect this to be the case during the season which is why we need the other starters to up their offensive game. He wil be fine.
11) Qunicy A is a great athlete but didn't show much but I am sure he will fit into the mix somewhere. He just hasn't played much the last couole of years but by League play he should be much improved and could really break out next year.
This looks to be a good FT shooting team with alot of flexable rotations that Tad can utilize. I expect him to tinker with the starting lineup and rotations (like he usually does) early on and thenn settle in as the season progresses. There is a lot of depth on this team and narrowing it down to an 8-9 man rotation will be tough, but a good problem to have.
