I gave it a like for the soundtrack.

I like the emphasis on weight lifting this year in the hype videos. I feel like in the past couple seasons it was an emphasis on flashy plays and dunking.

Love it.

"Soundtrack" is giving someone too much credit. That sounded like one of the pre-recorded beats on the electric organ i.e. samba, bossa nova, rock, etc.. Not sure which one to classify it as.

Still a long way to go in terms of strength and fitness, but it looks like we are headed in the right direction.

There's no reason guys like Josh Carlton and Mamadou can't end up with the muscle of someone like Semi Ojeleye when he was on SMU

I mean let’s not get ridiculous here... Semi is one of the most ripped guys in professional sports

I don't know how long you've been here, but, we blew past "ridiculous" a long time ago . . . .

Be still my beating heart, Sal! We're coming back! UConn Tough!

Carlton will get stronger as will all of them but a guy like Carlton isn't going to turn into an Ojeley or Patric Young, that's not how it works.

^^ Little ways to go

Who's the kid with the short braids front squatting? Is that Brendan Adams?

That was my best guess.

Yes

Music to Chief’s ears. Love a coach that doesn’t need convincing about this stuff. When Miller use to brag about that hand exercise the Bigs did - I had all I could do not saying - it’s not going to be much good when he’s been knock to the floor. Thankfully, that nightmare is over.

Based off of what I see on social media these kids are still always playing 2K and goofing around. Is it a little much to question their work ethic? Or am I being too harsh on these kids who are still young. Just doesn't seem like their focus is 100% on preparing for the season.

They just finished their first summer classes and the first 4 weeks of workouts. Don't think we need to freak out if they're having fun on a holiday weekend.

Love the UConn Basketball shirts they’re wearing. Hurley threw the red out

Everybody needs down time man. Just be thankful they aren't go-proing their scooter races.

I think you may have a point. Kwintin sure seemed to be struggling with his situps (unless he was doing number 60 in that clip) and the other guys weren't exactly looking strong on the weights.
Hurley may need a lot more time to get them in the shape he wants.

Hmmm... everyone needs downtime? These guys should be reaching daily for their peak of athletic performance in the four short years that they get free health care, free meals, free housing, state of the art training facilities(again free), free transportation to audition their skills to potential employers and... free television coverage to audition their skills to potential employers. If it was me i'd be working and making the most of every single day of those four years. Have fun when you graduate and enter the draft. But for the roughly 1,460 days your on scholarship get focused, stay focused work your butt off to be the best you can be.

Did I read that weight correctly in the opening part of the video.. 25 lbs? 25 lbs? Come on.

They’re college kids, not servants to a sports program, jesus man.
