Uros looking aggressive!...Nice to see.

Was going to be my comment as well. It’s just practice, but he certainly looks much improved.

If Plavsic would play the way Fulky plays, we'd have a phenomenal front court.

If he would play to his potential, he would be a nightmare matchup

Several players missing. Didn’t notice Pons? Hope there’s not a COVID issue

He was out there.

After watching this I'm getting even more stoked for basketball season.

Odd observation for what it's worth but this is the most normal our team's hair has looked at the beginning of the season in the past few years.

No he was on the video

Basketball is so much better than football. I'm fired up. Thanks

I didn’t notice anyone missing. Who did you not see (besides Pons)?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Mr. Pons is present at 37 second mark in video.

Several? Care to name?

Pretty sure he was one of the ones that tested positive over the summer I believe. I may be wrong?

This year is going to be a year where we will be glad we have the depth. There are going to be positives and quarantines, and it will work to our advantage.

If there’s a positive your whole team is out, depth isn’t going to matter.

I didn't see that anywhere. Is that per the NCAA, and how is that different than football?

It’s why you’ve seen so many programs shut down nationwide in hoops, contact tracing is a nightmare in this sport. The guys are in much closer proximity, less players, contact during practice, benches etc...if one person gets it then contact tracing knocks out the whole roster.

Okay, I see what you're saying. If that's the case then they should cancel the season because there will be be plenty of single cases, and if games are cancelled based on single cases, then the nightmare will happen. Personally, I think it's easier to control Covid in basketball than football.

There are many people saying with the current rules in place a basketball season is nearly impossible.

That might be the case. I really don't know, and yes, the surge is happening. I'm just hoping we start the season, have a season, and finish the season.

I don't expect much out of him this year due to Fulky, Pons and Anosike getting most of the minutes. I think eventually he and ON can be quality bigs for us.

I just want him to get more coordinated and stronger. I would imagine the staff is looking at steady progress and development with him. Fortunately he has more time so we will have the 7ft center for more years.

 

[Sudden Impact]

What is this team missing?
