No

Wonder why the local media aren't there. If they were I'm guessing we would have seen stuff on Twitter.

Aren't they the first officially named Captain(s) in Hurley's time here?

Either way we have two outstanding leaders!

"Obviously the first week is, you're really trying to build a team toughness, and the mentality, a training camp type of mentality," Hurley said "Grueling practice plans or even looking past some things fundamentally that might not be exactly what you want to challenge people, put them in stressful situations and have them have to learn to fight.

"Before you can, you know, play well or win, you got to learn how to fight, fight hard and fight together, and build a camaraderie through a great challenge. So we put these guys through the fire with these practice plans early to try to build a strong, together team."

For sophomore guard Jordan Hawkins, who is expected to have a breakout season, the preseason practices are to refine the off-the-dribble skills he improved on over the summer.

His goal is to win three championships: the Phil Knight Invitational in November, the Big East and the national title in early April.

Hurley agreed, “We’re at that point now where that’s where our sights should be set.”

I’d like some takeaways on players, but I guess it’s early.

The Courant's article was a tough read after reading Borges lay everything out nicely.

The Courant's article was a tough read after reading Borges lay everything out nicely.

I don't know if the free links are cutting out something or if the article was edited after, but the Courant article had a lot more detail and some extra interesting nuggets, including about the transfers struggling day one and the quotes from Clingan

Actually has a great looking drive and space creating finish in that practice video

Been looking for extended highlights from Newton all summer!

 

[Skies17]

A lot of Newton's moves, finishing around the basket, and just being a taller PG/CG reminds me a lot of what I've seen from Castle in highlights. Hopefully how we utilize Newton in the offense this year can be a blueprint for Castle in 23-24 and be one of the more seamless transitions for what's expected to be a pretty big roster turnover heading into that season.

 

[REB1094]

Hard to believe since a lot of those finishes look toughhhhh, but numbers don’t lie!

I can’t tell if Newton will be a 10PPG role player, or a 15PPG star

The Register article didn't have much in it. It's written by Paul Doyle so maybe there's another one written by Borges coming that will have more details. Probably will be posted tomorrow morning.

Think it includes fouls drawn in that figure. He drew a bunch and is absolutely automatic at the line (88% last 2 years). 59% at the rim is quite good, but not Bouknight level.

Hurley looks doubtful. It makes me wonder what Jim is saying.

Maybe he was talking about pushing the ball as in fast break?
