Does the WBB program have a similar game?

Brief thoughts from the scrimmage.
Big G looks quite more slender. There are 3 or four guys on the team now (Dastrup apparently can't play this year) that can match him or top him for size or height. Washington will be a pretty good player for us at some point not all that far in the future, he can work inside in traffic with the ball and keep control and he can work in traffic for rebounds. Kelley offensively is "finesse Drew", he'll have his share of good moments. Vernon is very willing to push the ball inside. Campbell can drive well but he picks his spots. I wasn't even aware of Blaser before tonight, if he's a walkon he's really quite solid. Wilson doesn't look to be as much of a project as Big G was, moves ok, looks like he's working at getting comfortable still at this point. To some extent all the bigs are working on their comfort level, but they show a lot of promise.
Offensively the whole team looked improved but I'm not sure how tight the D was. It'll be interesting to see how it goes against other players. The three pointers were going down quite readily during scrimmage. The returning guys were all playing well. Casually I'd say the team looks to be improved.
I figure there were 400-500 onlookers. The new video screens look great. We were sitting low enough I really spent way more time watching the court than the screens. If sitting up at the top i suspect it might have be the other way around or more evenly divided.

Thanks for the summary. How were the teams divided? What about coaches? |

Thanks for the thoughts. Glad to hear good things about Washington. I was pretty impressed with his tape and thought he'd be a nice player for us at some point. Good to hear the confirmation on that.

I’ll try to do the “starting” teams by memory. They started switching shirts about 7-8 minutes in.
Tres, Stevie, Big G, Zack, Kelley, Campbell
Ethan, Washington, Vernon,Blaser, Dastrup, Hollins
I’m not sure which teams Wilson and Barnes started with, and I may be wrong on Dastrup, and frankly I may have Stevie and Ethan backwards (once the shirts started switching I got confused).
Thompson had the “younger” group, I think Rupp had the group Tres and Stevie started with but Coach T was down on that end vocally coaching everyone.
I did come away thinking this is a lot deeper team than we’ve had. Substitutions should be able to happen with less obvious changes in play. Tres is going to be all league again, he just has so much court awareness. Stevie looked quite good, that season as a point guard probably benefitted him but I’m glad he won’t have to play it as he can do other good things when he doesn’t have to direct traffic.

Starting 5 at this point looks like TT, Thompsons, Glig, and Kelley? or Wilson?
The comments from the players have Hollins and Reichle coming off the bench so i guess the idea is to go with a big lineup.
probably explains why Big Tinkle was so hot on Dastrup, he had him penciled in as a starter. Damned NCAAholes.
