Fall Practice Thread

One small thing I’m looking for in these videos are the lineups.

It makes my heart happy whenever I see Solo in a lineup that forces him to be a PG. lol

Those lineups usually have him sharing the backcourt with Jacob.

Will be really curious to whether we see that at all in season when we have 2 PGs on the roster already.

Don’t know why I’m just seeing this. Addressing this Solo thing and retiring this convo as well.

He’s not going to be junior year Kemba if he had handles, but he can be an underclassman Boatright.

Calhoun’s PG training program used to take 3 years for any of those guys to get down and perfect so I know Solo won’t look like a great one just from his handles. But it’s a big start to him at least being able to reasonably play the position.

It’s also why I get annoyed when we don’t get guys going right away at that position out of all of them. Like we’re getting Solo going now so he only has 2 years (maybe 1 if he goes to the draft) to work on it instead of prepping him for this kind of role from day 1 when it’s the hardest position to learn because so much goes into it.

It’s like unless you’re a ready made day 1 player the only thing you can do on the court is shoot 3s and play defense before you’re allowed to grow your game and do anything else.

Your posts make one of my eyes close when I read them. Painful.

I doubt it. We have so many PGs on the roster at this point. I just like seeing it worked on is all.

If Ross does indeed breakout this year big lineups with Solo, Mullins, Ross on the perimeter would be fun to watch. But I doubt that actually happens. Hurley isn’t really the experimental type. Not even with his gameday underwear.

Get ready for that Solo at the point, Jacob Ross at shooting guard, and Jayden Ross at small forward lineup!

We’ll see that at the same time we see All American Aiden Mahaney 😉
 
I can hear the color now, Ball brings it up court with the sick handle, no look to Ross who one times it to Ross for the alley oop windmill with no time left! The Huskies win the NC with a thrilling last second Ross dunk over Ngongba! Danny Hurley has won his third title with the Ross brothers at his centerpiece!

If you force yourself to wear them and train them with the proper ankle formation drills, those bad bad boys will be custom fit by their Junior Year and lead you to getting that next big job.

I don't think that was the rabbit hole he was thinking of this topic going down, but I'm sure your path has merit.

Couple points - boy do we see a lot more Malachi in these clips than we do Silas. Can already see the intensity Malachi brings to the floor.

Was that Stew with the left handed throw down, or Koroma?

The social media guy must have a great relationship with him.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but if I had to point to our worst protector of the ball last year it would be Solo. How many times did he get his pocket picked at key points of the game including at a critical point in the Florida game, that opened the door to the Florida comeback in those last 2 minutes.

Solo is a star. But Solo at the point is a terrible idea IMO.

Supportable points about last year. Followed by the BY fallacy that a player can never improve. Solo is an athleticly gifted player that is in his third year of the system. He should be able to take a step up and contribute at PG.
 
There are times that Solo will handle and bring the ball on a break after a defensive turnover or rebound so he will get to show some point guard skills. I think he can do that but we have 2 rock solid 1’s and one of them will always be in. He’s not just a catch and shoot guard. This argument over Solo makes no sense. He’s not the primary ball handler and I don’t think the coaching staff has him as that.
