Mile Run/First Practice

Well we had our mile run test this morning. We always have the guys run a mile on the Friday before we start practice so we can see what kind of shape they are in. The quickest time was 4:40 and everyone finished in under 6 minutes except our big man who came in at 6:15 (which is good considering he is 6'9/260). Everyone seems excited that our first practice is on Sunday. We have a total of 18 players on the roster and with 12 returners we feel like we should be able to move pretty quickly with our concepts. It will take a little while for the new guys to pick everything up, but that is to be expected. Everyone on campus also seems excited for basketball to get started which is a very good feeling. I think we are starting to win over most of campus and it is great to have their support. The President of the University even spoke to the coaches this morning and told us he was looking forward to the season. Nice to know you have someone like that behind you. Well I hope all is well with everyone and I will try to post Monday morning on how our first practice was.
