Hey gang,

 

Wanted to let everyone know to cheer up.  I went to the Orange and Blue
scrimmage yesterday and guess what?  We have a basketball team!  And we have
one with some real gamers, too.

 

My impressions:

 

1.	DJ Richardson is the real deal.  He starts day 1.  Needs to work on
his turnovers, but plays good defense, attacks the basket off the dribble
and can finish it too.

 

2.	I know some of you won't believe it.  I wouldn't have if I hadn't
seen it with my own eyes.  Alex Legion really can shoot the ball.  28 points
yesterday and many of them on long balls.  If he can shoot like that it will
be hard to keep him out.

 

3.	We have a lot of shooters on this team.  We won't have any trouble
scoring points this year I'm pretty sure.

 

4.	Interior defense could be an issue against a dominant big man.

 

5.	We need to get the ball into the post more.

 

6.	We actually ran some full court press yesterday and we played zone
for 1 possession (and gave up a 3 just as Weber says).

 

7.	Brandon Paul will play, Bertrand probably not so much, Griffey looks
like he has a shot at some time.

 

8.	If Bill Cole's minutes rest on his ability to rebound, he won't play
much.

 

I see starters as Richardson, McCamey, Legion, Tisdale, and Davis with Paul,
Keller, Griffey and Semrau off the bench.  Our depth down low will be a
concern if someone gets in foul trouble.   But I have to say I was pretty
impressed with what I saw.  We have athletes again, and plenty of them.

 

Anyone else off the list go yesterday?

 

Todd S.
