per Pitino!


Today as summer school winds down, we turn our focus on individual player meetings with each of our student-athletes. My plan is to review their academics and give them feedback on their basketball progress and what they need to work on this fall.

Our staff met early this morning and gave each guy a letter grade in four categories. They were broken down into strength and conditioning, basketball, academics and attitude. Maverick Ahanmisi was the only guy who got A's all across the board. He got an A- in leadership only because we want him to be more vocal. Joey King also got the perfect score but received a B- in his attitude. He got the grade not because he has a poor attitude, but more because he needs to find a way to channel his emotions and energy a little better.

Stuff like this I always try to make sure I click the link anyway, even if I can just read the post, simply cause I want to encourage them to continue doing it and having higher traffic numbers are a good way to do that.

Pitino can spend that vacation time staying in town and treat it like a vacation anyway, it's not like he's familiar with much around town anyway.
 




Maverick made the honor roll. Love it.

Many coaches take a week or two in August to take a vacation somewhere before school starts back up. My family has chosen to stay in Minnesota this year. We decided to do this because I don't think there are many better places to be than Minnesota in the summer time!

Coach - My cousin Larry has a small Alumacraft. He'd be happy to take you fishing. He has a drinking problem though.
 

Pitino is a very savvy guy. A smart, thirty year old coach has its advantages.
 

Still love reading his blog. Can't wait for the season to start.
 

I can see GopherHole exploding this season in two situations:

1. If we win and Coach blogs, people will complain he is bragging.

2. If we lose and Coach blogs, people will complain that he should be spending his time improving the team.
 



Doc, as long as the quality of the blogs improves come February and March, we shouldn't have a problem.

I am not talking about quality of the blog, I am talking about the paranoid/schizophrenia of GopherHolers.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm schizophrenic
And so am I

And quit spying on me.
