Mac won one of the other races! So Nevada...what distance do you think they were running? How would you place the team into events? Mac in the high jump seems obvious. Blair looked like he was out in front of one of the heats. Maybe a 100 meter guy?

Blair looked like he was out in front of one of the heats. Maybe a 100 meter guy? They were probably running 50-60 m. Mac would probably be good in the LJ too. I don't think there would be distance guys from what I saw. Here is the workout with the XC team doing one mile repeats. Go to 1:26 and put the video on mute if you don't like the background music:

I agree about no distance runners on the basketball team. The quick twitch needed for defense and jumping is probably not congruent with distance events. When I coached club soccer, I had two very, very very slow U8s who both became sub 4:30 milers in high school. I think it is just a different physiology.

Look at the size and definition of big Tim. If that kid can learn some game from big Pat, wow look out. Kid could be a major force in a couple years.

Impossible. Pretty sure I have read on this board that Louie brings nothing to the table - no coaching, no recruiting, no nothing. So somebody obviously hacked Brantley's account.

This is absolutely a different approach for this program, I'm very happy to see this new direction...

I love me some LeBlanc. We'll have to see about who's improved in which way(s) but I really like what Patrick has done in terms of getting guys in that have that competitive edge that you just can't teach. LeBlanc, Akinjo, Mac, Pickett. And it looks like we have two or more in that mold in this class. Pat seems to have recruited guys that are like he was in his approach as a player. I LOVE that.
Give me more of the type of player that will go at a guy slapping the floor in his face, score on his ass and then slap the floor mockingly in return. Respectful, passive interviews after wins are fine. Passive play is not. I'm excited to watch these Hoyas because I have no doubt that they're coming to win every game by as many points as possible and they aren't going to care who they're playing.

I love all the documentation of the team's conditioning program. We can bet this team is going to be in top physical condition, disciplined, mentally strong and relentless on defense. And we have 25 fouls to give in the middle. When you come inside, if you get past the guards.....you're gonna pay the price!
