Pre-season 2022

Liked Tony’s quotes about the frosh:
“short-cut the process, … we’re hopeful. We’re going to need … them, … there’s opportunity there. …. I like … the[m].”

Gotta read between the lines with Tony…

Well, what’s the best way to be ready by year 2 (be ready day one)

And of course the best way to get ready is for Issac M to play 20mpg……

Earnestly, hard news (to me) in that article:

  • Kihei, Papi, Taine all playing internationally this summer (Kihei for China)
  • BVP has a quick manek-like realease, per Jayden
  • Ty was there and ran the others off the court in 3-on-3 (plus Zay until class started)

Ty doesnt like to lose

What they left out of the article was that McKneeley played by himself in the 3x3 tournament and got second, only out of respect for Ty.

Over analyzation #1: JPJ is looks a lot smaller without a crowd.
Over analyzation #2: Traudt has a bizarre Great Lakes sweat pattern going on.

Clearly, it’s gonna be a good year.

Did Shedrick get a buzz cut?

Most bullish development of the offseason. Immediate upgrade to his toughness.

The only Reece content from this whole offseason thus far - this brief appearance at 0:27. My takeaways from it… he still looks like Reece.

Beginning team huddle, looks like Ryan Dunn has a few inches on Jayden

Also, I think @Foresthoo said this in another thread, but with Kihei, Caffaro, and Taine being gone for a portion of the summer session with national teams, the team will have to be working with lineups that don’t feature them and use different guard and big combos. I think that experience could be really good for flexibility during the season. Obviously it won’t be a ton of time without them, and who knows if Tony will take much from it, but it seems kind of weirdly positive to me (although I do wish Taine were here the whole time, but so it is - I’d play for the Kiwi national team if given the opportunity too).

My takeaway is it looks like Tony moved from a 32 pant waist to a 34. Must have been hanging too much with Mike Brey last weekend.

Ha - I’ve been looking for him too and saw that brief appearance.
Also saw this first without his head and made me think they are hiding him … lol:

Also highly recommend watching at 50% speed - makes one feel like one gets more content.
