So good to see Elijah in live team settings.

Keeping fingers crossed Bond has enough click to get his unlocked defensive potential on the floor.

I take this as a good sign. X has gone from the invisible man in the promos to being featured twice in a one minute clip. :eyes::eyes:

Well-trod ground to say this is perhaps the most athletic team in the Bennett era. But this also may be one of the most fun.

Hard to believe how far we’ve come since the wheels fell off in April. But the silver lining to all of the turnover is that everyone Hoos here really wants to be here.

Can’t wait for November!

They owe Groves a couple of highlights after that

Also, on second viewing, pretty nice pass from iMac to Blake

Lots of defensive breakdowns, though. :slight_smile:

Have to hope this supersedes the “year away” comments from earlier in the summer. Or at least this means that he’ll show some really bright flashes as he works through typical freshman inconsistencies in backup minutes, but is just a year away from “putting it all together” as a starter-level contributor.

Hey Fresh do you have a link that you can provide?

  1. Nice defense by Leon in order to turn around and block Groves from behind: If he can contribute that will be huge!

  2. Elijah Gertrude getting his legs back really increases our wing depth.

If Leon is ready to contribute then that was one of our major discussion points from a few weeks back- that unlocks a few doors.
