LOL ... #124 is a strange and some what naive analysis. Let's just smile and act like the writer has the Zips pegged. He doesn't. But, that's good. No need to know. At open gym yesterday the kids have added a new wrinkle. They played defense with intensity. Far more game like than offense only. I was impressed with the over all play. The freshmen have already melded into the team concept. Antino is showing signs of gaining muscles. Noah has been bulking up for some time. The others look really "buff". Big Dog has slimmed down some; not enough. Just realized that Kwan was not there. What with several other invited players he got lost in the shuffle. Deji is playing himself into contention for the starting shooting guard spot. Deji is getting more Jimmy Conners like by the day. The freshmen points have discovered that Jake and Reggie nail threes like popcorn. Means plenty of assists on the stat sheet. Aaron Jackson and BJ Gladden have both made good use of the weight room. They will be major minute players. Not to be out done, Nyles plays like a senior. I missed seeing Melo as I arrived at 9:45 and the session started at nine. The season is still a long way off. The one on one drills resume next week. The coaches have been out on the recruiting trail. Check Antino's twitter for a tip about a potential future Zip. Good lead.
