Was fortunate enough to head in to yates to work out and the whole team was running pickup....big john and ronny were watchin as well.
they were runnin with a bunch of younger kids...any of the gurus know if anyone of note was there? Didn't recognize any of them. only saw two kids that stuck out...a lanky 2-3 guard and a long lanky big man...there was an older looking kid there...playing a guard position...a little shorter than Austin. looked like he was in college..he was pretty impressive don't know who he was though sorry..
Couple things I took away from the part of the pick up I saw...again only saw about 20 min or so but hey its the offseason! thought I'd give us a breadcrumb or two
Let's get this one out of the way: Austin was looking lean and mean...a lot trimmer than last season. He was looking good playing a 2 guard taking up the ball on occasion and showing that deadly pull up jumper of his
Vee was very good from what I saw...displayed some really good athleticism...better than I had seen in videos. smooth...threw down a couple nice alley oops
Henry looked more comforfortable. Attacked the basket off the dribble..and hey the guy can shoot...watch out this year for the jumpshot
Julian had a few good post moves
Chris did well attacking the basket
That's really about it....wasn't overly organized they didn't seem to be running the offense as I mentioned they had a bunch of younger guys mixed in with them. Hopefully somone can shed some light as to who was workin out with them

they were up there running the same kind of situation with big john watching today around 4:30/5pm up at Yates.
Lots of new young faces that I didn't recognize...no Nikita or Wattad to be seen though.

You're not likely to see Wattad up around there anytime soon.

nope I was looking out for Benimon didn't see him...
It's possible that I missed him if he was wearing regular clothes but even Vee had on a hoyas shirt at least.

Great news on Austin. Was Hollis there? If so, how did he look?

I just want to know if they were smiling!
;D
Sorry, just kidding. What I really want to know is if they were rebounding.
NO- ;D
Good news on AF though. That kid is just plain too talented to have last year be anything but a fluke. Hope to see a great season from him this year.

I'm curious as to if Hollis was there also. I think he's going to turn some heads!

Why is Ronny around? Why did Burke leave?
Are those questions related?

Sources tell me that Austin had oreos and milkshakes after the game.

i didnt see vernon macklin or jeremiah rivers either. I thought I saw Summers for a second, but then I noticed the guy was smiling as he pulled down a rebound so I realized it couldn't be him.

Why is Ronny around? Why did Burke leave? Are those questions related? that would be interesting...but Ronny is around alot as it is... He's got that announcing gig with Comcast so I don't know if he'd want to give that up to be an assistant...I don't see us bringing on another assistant right now... I did not see Hollis...but they were rotating in and out a fair bit so I may have missed his rotation.

Why is Ronny around? Why did Burke leave? Are those questions related? Ronny is around all the time. He and his Pops watch pretty much every Kenner League game during the summer from the side of McDonough, and I'm sure they must take in/observe these kinds of pickup games at GU all the time.

Greg Monroe sighting. Well, an indirect one.
A co-worker told me he spotted Greg at the Green Turtle located at Gallery Place. If true then I guess he is back in town.

My daughter saw Greg and Austin outside Yates earlier today and has seen many of the guys in the cafeteria the past few days. She confirms that Austin looks fit.
