Report from Gampel...skills work for posts

There has to be better people to host this/do interviews than these two dudes, they're brutal.

So apparently Taliek Brown was also here either today or yesterday, working with Shabazz.

You have to let it load and then skip to the last 12 minutes or so to see the segment with Drummond and Napier. This interview is awful by the way, but what do you expect from UCTV?

Man I could be stoned and blackout drunk and do a better job than those two.

Thanks for the great insight you have provided regarding the players and various practices. I certainly would have hired you to conduct the interviews.

hahaha thanks alot, I enjoy hearing that I have a decent insight on each player's development. Unfortunately I feel this kind of stuff has more to do with who you know rather than how much you know about basketball. I mean, it's UCTV so I have no idea how it works but I kind of wished to know that they'd have some better guys reporting. I feel in my short time of watching college basketball I know more than most of these fools conducting interviews asking generic questions.

As someone noted, the girls and guys switch off on practices (plus someone said the coaches were somewhere on the recruiting trail, and I saw the girls shooting a bit around 1:15 today) so I bet they'll be practicing tomorrow. I'll check Gampel around the same time as Wednesday and will update with anything worth updating about. I really hope I get there in time to see how AO and Bradley are practicing. AO is going to have a massive impact this year no matter where he plays. He is by far our most experienced big.

I see so much incompetence in the media relating to basketball analysis. Most of it structured around inherent bias. It would be interesting to start a national forum bringing all fans together under 1 roof to talk hoops in a moderated but open room. If a high quality 1 doesn't exist it would be an interesting concept. I think you hit it right on the nose by saying "Unfortunately I feel this kind of stuff has more to do with who you know rather than how much you know about basketball."

Hmm, I just left Gampel a half hour ago but can't really remember much else to say about teh SFs.

typical.. college student unprepared, where's you pen & pad

 

[babysheep]

It's pretty much my job to not be completely unprepared. Does anyone cut corners like a college kid does?

But I mean I really only saw like 10-15 minutes, and probably about 5 of those were them just warming up.

Kinda like this place?

There were some good seniors that graduated in the Spring. Marcus Lynam is working at ESPN. The new guys need to step it up.

This would turn into a true show. See ESPN boards.

Saw the basketball team standing around outside the cemetery entrance today (absolutely no idea why hahaha) and AO had his shirt off. I was driving by so I didn't get a good look but from what I saw it looks like you kind kind of see his abs. That means that, assuming he wasn't before, most of that 240ish pound body is muscle. He's ready to average a double double this year.
