So I'm lucky enough to work with the Bball team as they use our technology to track player load through impacts and dynamic movements. Here's a little tidbit from today's practice...
Horace Spencer has elevated his game big time. He has put in the work on the court and in the weight room. When I got to the arena to set up 45 min before practice he was already there putting up shots and during practice he is playing with a different energy and his game has improved noticeably.
Samir Doughtry will be a nice addition. Has good range from the outside and knocked down some nice shots today. I think he will be better offensively than Davion Mitchell last year but not as good defensively quite yet.
Transfer Jamal Johnson looked good but needs a year in the weight room in my opinion.
Malik Dunbar will step his game up this year. He is an electric athlete who gives 100% at all times. He's the type of guy you need around your program. He was a lot more confident on offense and defense today.
Austin Wiley body has completely changed since getting on campus. He dominated at times today and was a true leader on the floor. He will average 15 and 10 this year and will make us very tough to defend. SEC player of the year is my prediction here.
Bryce Brown you can tell is a senior and leads this team. They look up to him and his energy was contagious today. He's very focused and ready to be the GUY this year.
Jared Harper was a lot more vocal than I remember from other practices I've attended. You can tell he has accepted the role of floor general. He's the straw that stirs the drink. We cannot afford him to go down with injury as he's the man that makes this thing go.
Danjel did not practice so no info here. He came at the end for weights so had a class or something else that conflicted today.
I attended several practices last summer and predicted the team would be special. This year's team has that same feel but seems to WANT more and with the addition of McCormick they have a chance to be really good. This is a legit top 10 team right now. They have the players and coaching but as we know a team has to gel as a TEAM to become the real deal. I say we win the SEC back to back and make a serious run at the NCAA this year. Of course my orange and blue glasses are on but its hard not be confident about this squad.
WDE!
