taxpayer Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 The team completed their physical testing last week (bench, vertical leap, etc) and will begin practicing soon for the upcoming Canadian trip.

Dave in Green Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I wonder if Walsh increased his vertical leap by using the same program that Egner used to increase his hops in HS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone hear any of the testing results? Anyone headed to Canada to watch the games? Made the mistake of booking the summer rental early this year. So I'm dismayed to not go to Montreal. I'm aware of at least 2 fans making the trip. I'm sure we'll all get some good scoop. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Who and where will the Zips be playing in Canada? I don't know who we will be playing, but I hope we schedule Carleton, Saskatchewan, and Dalhousie or teams of their caliber. I fear we will instead schedule teams like Chabot, Ohlone, and Siskiyous. Regardless, the extra practice time should be beneficial. Well, the schedule turns out to have a little of both with a tendency towards the weak side. The last game against Carleton could be interesting. The first 4 against Sheridan, Quebec, McGill and the Champlain hasbeens should be name the score outings for the Zips. I'm interested in the game against Carleton. They have won seven of the last nine CIS (the Canadian NCAA) national championships. They had an 87-game winning streak going from 2003-2006. How we do against them will tell us a lot about our team. The four games preceding this one are pretty much just to figure out a basic depth chart.

It would appear the Carleton Ravens lost to LaSalle but beat Illinois State recently. I don't know if I'm impressed with 7 of the last 9 CIS. My son's T-ball team was pretty strong, too, but we couldn't have held a candle against the little leaguers. Quoth the Ravens: "Never Scored"...

How we do against them will tell us a lot about our team. The four games preceding this one are pretty much just to figure out a basic depth chart. I don't believe the trip is meant to sort out the depth chart. Two guys (Harney and Treadwell) are prop 48 guys who only played HS ball for 1 year and have not played in over a year. They are very raw talents. As I understand, they were prop 48 kids because of lack of discipline and not lack of intelligence (and are coachable from what I hear and read). So you have 2 high ceiling kids that have little experience and undisciplined....they need coaching and playing time. The other freshman on the team can use the coaching time and experience as well. Since you can only take advantage of the "International" trip extra practice/coaching once every 4 years, this was a good time to avail themselves of the option. This trip is all about getting a chance to coach and teach kids who are new to the program and getting a chance to bond as a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a probable starter at the small forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will provide us with a good way to compare how we stack up against a good mid-major (finished with an RPI of 69 last season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm interested in the game against Carleton. They have won seven of the last nine CIS (the Canadian NCAA) national championships.

The four games preceding this one are pretty much just to figure out a basic depth chart. Oh Canada! I thought that UVic was the UCLA of the GWN, but ends up I haven't been keeping up with my Canuck hoops! They DID win seven straight from 1980-86. I know the first game new Hawaii coach Riley Wallace coached -- in 1986(!) was against Victoria (the Thunderbirds, I'm pretty sure) and they took a thumping -- the Thunderbirds flew over the Rainbows! Last exhibition they played against Canadians. Now in VOLLEYBALL (men's), it's a totally different story -- Canadian schools can MORE than hold their own against the US, especially the Dinosaurs of Alberta, who have played in Hawaii's pre-season tourney several times. Once about 15-20 yrs ago, I saw them take apart a UCLA team that won the NCAA title! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF played their five starters an average of 30 minutes each. Twenty-eight minutes was the minimum time logged by a UCF starter. Thus, Zach was correct pointing out that Carlton is a pretty decent Canadian team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
