Trust tree……I made it 13 seconds into that video. That is an all-time awful cadence.

Thanks for posting. Once you make it past the kinda cheesy editing it's definitely worth a watch. Cool look at the facilities. Love what they did with the court. Jasai was a good choice as a tour guide / interview.

I will say even if we end up not being that good this year at least it's a team I want to root for as opposed to what Woodson was doing.

It didn't bother me to much, but I know what you mean.  After you get past that beginning, it is a pretty good look at the facilities they have which looks like they have put some $ into them.  Jasai is a good dude, and I would love to see him kick some butt in his time in Bloomington.

What a nice combination of likeable - competitive players. We're going to enjoy watching these guys compete.

Almost all of them complimented Sisley. I’m here for it 

[go iu bb]

The peegs guys watched a practice today. They say that Sisley should play a big part in the rotation.

They also said the defense is still struggling other than Conerway. The defense struggled against graduate assistant coaches and walk-ons. Yikes. It wasn't specified exactly how they struggled but since the article was talking about trying to pressure the ball without fouling, probably that. They have a little more than a month to get it figured out.

... and if they don't, we're looking at a season that will closely resemble Fran McCaffery's Iowa teams.

Yep, they really like the way the offense looks.

Imagine you’re certainly  right on the perimeter ball pressure being the issue. The most undervalued trait in scouting kids, at least to me, is lateral movement and change of direction. All the high ball screen actions, all the zoom derivatives, if you can’t move laterally and maintain hand discipline they will hunt you and you are screwed.

Not like we don’t know it, but DDV really is just the anti-Woodson. It’s like he asks Scott what Woody would have done or said in a situation and consciously does the most antithetical thing he can think of.

International man of mystery! Heeeeeeere’s Andre!

Btw — I encourage you to go to the 1 minute mark for an excellent and very honest answer.
