Blue & Gold Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Btw, ran into Amani at Chipotle the other day. He’s looking good! Looks like he’s trimmed down a bit. Can’t wait to see what kind of jump he’ll make this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Just saw a St. Ed's player post a highlight video from 2 summer leagues, one of which was the Akron Shootout. Am I ignorant or is this a new event we're hosting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love you 94." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Sorry Meister, I should have caught your obvious inference. I've been a little slow on the uptake lately. I attribute it to the no sports withdrawal syndrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got more confidence in Nate than Nate has in himself. I’m excited to see what kind of jump, if any, he’s made this off-season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted August 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Currently at the breakfast/practice. Some quick observations: Enrique is making threes from the wing off of pick and pops; Darrin Baker is a man; Shammah Scott is going to be a big contributor; Ali looks happy and healthy; Dawson looks to be back up at full speed; Groce is not mellowing with age. I can't wait for the season! Edited August 5, 2023 by clarkwgriswold 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted August 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Some more observations now looking back. There are three solid point guards in Scott, Thornton and Tavari. Baker is going to provide solid minutes as a big and Amani looks much bigger (as mentioned above). Assuming the shooting I saw from Enrique was not a fluke, we may see two bigs on the floor more often. The kids are having fun and paying attention. Even the new kids, especially Scott and Thornton are up to speed already and giving direction to others. The team communicates well and seems to enjoy each other. Lots of smiles. No obvious bad attitudes. Enrique is becoming more and more of a leader. In one instance Groce was making a relatively complex point and Enrique in a very low voice put it in very simple terms for a couple of nearby teammates. This team will be the deepest Zips team in some time. Other than Enrique there are no distinct stars, but there's the type of talent for a couple of other guys to step up and star on a given night.

Darien Baker looked really good for a true Freshman. Groce is going to have a tough time getting enough minutes for for everybody to be happy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for the season! I think I semi-jokingly posted a few months ago that the NBA Draft process might add a jump shot to Enrique's game (a glaring weakness if he has his sights set on the pros).
