Got invited to watch practice today

[Rico444]

Just got here. Anyone have any suggestions what to watch for? I've never been to anything like this; I'm pretty excited.

 

[CL82]

Check to see if Jesus is in the huddle...nah better not.

 

[GlastonTim]

Enjoy!

 

[uconnbill]

Any news would be welcomed. Have fun!

 

[tcf15]

Let us know if Omar is practicing. Thanks and have fun!

 

[WestHartHusk]

Is Omar practicing, is DD holding back, who is coaching the big men (and what are they working on)?

And thanks!

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Report on all secret plays and strategies.

 

[Rico444]

Omar and DD are both stretching with the team. No brace for Deandre, he looks fine. Will let you know what Omar is able to do.

 

[3uconn]

What coaches are/aren't there?

 

[UCONNfan1]

I would say absorb as much as you can. Take some notes. Give a full report to the board with as much information as you can remember (from your notes and memory). I guarantee you will get a ton of likes, and will avoid a hanging by the board for at least 6 months...

I'm interested in how they are giving reps with Boat/Bazz at the 1/2. Seems like we are adding in the off ball wrinkle like we did for Kemba in 2011.

T-Sam and Facey spotlights.

 

[Rico444]

Omar looks like he's full go. DeAndre looks fine.

I believe Miller is the BIGS coach

 

[Dogbreath2U]

I would like to hear (read) about what is being emphasized by KO.....what on defense, offense, rebounding, whatever it is.

 

[HooperScooper]

I was going to go today also. All season ticket holders were invited. But I couldn't make it. Let us know how it went.

Ricky Moore is the only one I don't see.

Ricky Moore is the only one I don't see.

so putting 2 and 2 together with @3uconn 's thread I'm assuming he's in GA watching recruits

 

[mauconnfan]

Nice Rico just enjoy………wish I could say watch for me! LOL

Let us know and have fun….taking in a KO practice would be Bucket List stuff for many

 

[Rico444]

Will post little tidbits when I get the chance. I'll write out something longer later, but I know i'm gonna forget some.

Facey is fast. Whenever the team runs, he's consistently beating everyone down the court.

No doubt about that.

 

[Rico444]

Doing some 5 on 5 now. Ollie takes the team off to the side, comes up with a play, then has them run it. Then the teams switch and Ollie calls a play for the other side. Giffey just had a wide open 3,and Brimah came flying out from under the basket to swat Giffey's shot. That got the whole team pretty pumped up.

 

[Fishy]

If anyone gets injured, killed, set on fire or the team works on a fake punt, do not post it.

It's happened and the results are bad, very bad.

 

[Rico444]

Well, they're signing autographs now, so I'll keep quiet if anyone gets a paper cut .

Hooper.....you're a season ticket holder and haven't contacted me for a pre or post game??????

 

[Rico444]

Omar walked up into the seats to shake hands. Really cool guy. My stepmother asked him how his head was, and he said it was all better.

Besides that, didn't meet any other players. Lots of kids that wanted autographs, and would've felt dopey waiting in line with them just to shake hands. I'll have a writeup of what I remember either tonight or tomorrow morning. Lots of good stuff.
