Big thanks to UConnSwag and HuskyWarrior for posting these videos! Needed these to satisfy my mid-summer Husky fix. Received my Gampel floor pieces from Artsman today. NFL camps open. Good sports Saturday.
 
The biggest takeaway for me is Samson looking more than comfortable for the first time in front of fans. He was physical with Don and made him work on the boards. Had a couple nice blocks, made a 3, and hit Don with a lefty scoop in the post. Breakout season loading!
 
Spencer and Newton might both average 15+, extremely skilled and savvy backcourt. You can tell it’s Newtons team now.

Castle looked like the clear third of wheel of the ball handlers. He took it to Spencer multiple times, but doesn’t do much without the ball, and had a rough time shooting all afternoon. I know it won’t be a popular take, but I still won’t be shocked if he comes off the bench for a better shooter, or Samson takes his spot by simply being more impactful.

For anyone wondering, Stewart did not participate in any organized activity. Seemed to be nursing something on the bench, and spent some time riding the bike.

FWIW.. Noticed him wearing a padded knee brace in his early practices once on campus a few weeks ago.. Don't know if it was just for protection or support from a previous injury.. May be unrelated to being held out from today's practice.. Precautionary??

They have been on a college campus for 4 or 5 years. Castle has been there a month. Give the kid some time to adjust. Please.

That said, super excited to see Cam in this form right out of the gate!

Everyone when asked has had that Castle's vision and passing is sublime. Having a primary backcourt that goes 6'5', 6'7" with Cam playing third guard is crazy. When Clingan is out, I bet Danny has one of them post up Ala Brunson and run offense through post with shooters around. Fun options

For those of you who went to the practice.. Haven't seen much of Tristen in the videos or comments about his play.. Seemed like Cam was playing with the ball in his hands/filling it up in the videos.. How did Tristen look ? Not concerned but curious..
