Yep up his butt

He's making a joke genius.

I don't think Oso would have to shoot 3s to make it work. Like wades, I'm a bit "skeptical" because we haven't seen this be part of Shaka's offense yet -- let alone a dominant part of it. But Oso is pretty good with the ball, and he shot 70%+ on FTs, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do now that he's an experienced player in a more established program.

13.6% usage guys jumping to a big player in the offense at the same school/level is RARE.

1st in depth look of the new squad. OMax with a Laugh Out Loud offensive rebound and dunk just over halfway through.

This team has some dudes.

Ty!! 

That was a solid first day.  We may very well have some ballers.  S. Jones has some quicks.

Indeed he does. This team has speed and burst towards the rim. If they can hit shots and play defense they will go places.

The depth up front looks much more solid than I originally gave them credit for in my head.

I'm still concerned about getting bullied inside.  We must collectively rebound, push, and get buckets in transition.

I heard the this team bucked a trend and actually handled the TBT team over the summer.

One of Wojo's teams (Year 6 I think?) also handled the TBT team. This year I also believe that several players were missing from the TBT team including Jamil, DJO, and Mo.

All that being said, I've very excited about this year's team.

Yeah --- there definitely was a #mubb win over TBT in there.  What I heard was #mubb went from deer on skates last year to domination this year.  TBT competition may have somethig to do with that but from what I hear #mubb looked like players.

I don't think that's a concern for Shaka one bit.

He will have a mismatch just as much if not more with Oso on the other end if a team decides to throw a true 5 at him.

Not only that, but if a team runs their offense through a 5 on the block they arent going to be scoring as much as Marquette anticipates scoring with their fast paced style of play. Playing through a 5 on the block eliminates a lot of points. 3 is worth more than 2!

I am getting more excited by the day for the upcoming season. Last year I had hoped that my optimism would prove to be correct, this year I will be disappointed if my optimism proves to be off target. One a sidenote, aside from Kam Jones being one of my favorite players on the team, he has charisma and style off the court. I think he will prove to be one of the leaders on the squad this year.

Based on that video, I am concerned about our defense. In every sequence either the offense scored initially, or gathered the rebound and scored.

It's almost like it was a hype video about the team doing half court drills...not a full insight into every play.

Personally I think we should have more hype videos of shot clock violations

[tower912]

Yes, if the team shoots as well during the season as it does in these videos, it will be a great year.    They shoot like Pleasantville in these videos.

IMO, the dream is to play 10 guys double digits, be as aggressive and athletic as possible, and right the hot hands at the end as the other teams wear down.

If Theo did it.

Nice!  We need a relentless and merciless attacking style on both ends of the floor.  At the end of the day we're gonna need buckets, but getting to the line is critical as well.  When you're able to rim run and get into the paint good things happen.  I like the Jones boys.
