Didn't want to start a new thread, figured this is the best place. ESPN CBB Nation blog (and video) of Tobias Harris entertaining some Knoxville kids. Glad to see a class-act exercise his relationship with his far-away college town.

Thank god we didn't see a terrible injury in those flip-flops lol.

At the 2:56 mark he blasted that kid in the face.

Ok, I'm going to RTL tonight and I will post a schedule since neither Pilot, KNS, nor GVX are capable of doing that. I will try to take some notes on the new players too.

I don't effing know. The site says Monday and Wednesday nights, which is why I was surprised when I heard there was a session last Friday. I'm assuming it's referring to this year since it says June 15-29 (started on the 15th this year). I would like to see each match-ups for every night. My god this is so frustrating. If anyone knows about the schedule or if there's a game tonight, PLEASE post here. Thanks!

Tatum and Chievous say it's Mondays and Wednesdays. I'm guessing last Friday was a one-time thing to get in 2 games in one week starting on a Wednesday instead of Monday.

I noticed they are playing one fewer evening this season than in past years. They used to play 6 nights of "regular season" play before the playoff night that includes the title game and 3rd place game. That resulted in everybody playing one team twice during the season. They eliminated that this year. It makes for one less night if basketball, but it also balances the schedule.

Ok, the a**holes at Pilot decided to not print the schedules on the roster sheets as they have done in years past in addition to not posting a schedule anywhere online. Great job.
Chievous has a solid frame. He looks more built and filled out than I was expecting, definitely an SEC body. He wasn't flashy and didn't score much, but he had a good dunk and a couple of nice jumpers.
Richardson is long and lanky. I don't even remember anything he did offensively, but he had multiple impressive defensive stands.
McRae played well, as usual. Tatum played hard and made some impressive plays. Kenny Hall was also looking solid.
Chism sat next to me for a few minutes and I eavesdropped on his ass for a second. He was talking about his contract in Europe and how it pays so much better than the D-League. He sounded a bit resentful towards the D-League as well.

They sound exactly like the group that runs the rec league our company teams play in.

I was pleasantly surprised with Chievous in RTL play. The kid has a solid D-1 frame and he's aggressive. Who knows how he will play in the NCAA, but it seemed like he prefers to finish at the rim. Additionally, he made plenty of jumpshots, and his stroke was looking decent. I guess I can really see this kid as someone who could be really good with effective coaching. I'm not going to lie, at this point, I'm expecting Zo and staff to be able to develop their players' skills more effectively than Pearl. I just hope that's true.

I remember Chievous finishing an alley-oop in moderate traffic last night. I think his game is something like a cross between JP Prince and Jajuan Smith. That doesn't exactly describe it, but it's the best I can think of at the moment.
