Foreign Trip this Summer? Any Rumors?

[GOO]

Are teams still doing the foreign trips?  This summer would appear to be the time to do one if we are ever going to do one again.  Or, with the increased practice time in the fall is this not needed anymore to get an advantage with all the new guys.

I'd like to see us head to Italy if Diener can set up some competition or Canada for the ease of travel.

Then you will likely be a happy Scooper.

I believe the team was supposed to do one of these this summer instead of scrimmages. That was the talk at least.

Does MU play in Maui in 2016 or 2017?  I thought I saw something on this.  Thanks in advance for info....

I was probably half asleep when I probably heard that...  Lot's of uncertainty there, but I thought there was something out there about a possible trip, but wasn't very sure either way.

Thanks.

Thanks Jake.  My wife and I will be planning to be in Maui in 2017.  MU should be really good by then!

Don't know if this has been covered, but I thought I heard a few months back that they were traveling to Italy this summer and that there was some type of mention in a alumni package that included travel with Lovell and "watching the team play a couple times."  There were no specifics from what I recall.

The interview with Cheatham confirmed Italy as the destination. That sounds like an awesome alumni package.
