I need something to look forward to after that embarrassing loss yesterday. 37 days until the first basketball game!

Can't wait to see what this guy can do this year:
 

I'm looking forward to basketball season as well. We got screwed out of a really nice season last year, and it'll be good to have 13 guys ready to play instead of 8. We'll be able to press more and play faster hopefully, create more transition points off of steals potentially, really missed that after Nolen's injury last year. Can't wait for b-ball.
 

Trevor!!

Awesome video! He is such a dominator. He can really jump and he is so strong. I didn't see a free throw line jumper... that is what I would have loved to have seen him add to his game this year.

This season all comes back to point guard play and outside shooting. No one can guard Trevor one on one on the block.
 


A tweet from Quincy Lewis this morning on Rodney:

"Love what I saw from Mr. Williams yesterday in practice. He can be special=maybe a special season #Gophers"

Go Gophers!!

Was just about to post this in this thread. Awesome tweet to read. You can't put too much stock in practice, but that is encouraging to read.

If this season is "the" season for Rodney, it could also be a special season for this team. I get more and more excited for the season every day!
 


I still can't wait for this season to start ...
 






32 days! Chip is one of my favorite players, I really hope he's worked on his jumper and ball handling because he is already one of if not our best slasher.

 



Dear lord our football team is awful. 31 days! Andre Ingram aka Trevor Lite:

 

Andre is intriguing. If he has a motor he should be a serviceable rebounding specialist.
 


Absolutely cannot wait. Seeing how the Twins, Vikes, and Gopher football have all been brutal, Gopher hoops is the only thing that can prevent me from going into a major sports depression. And I think they're going to pull off something special this year.
 

For those that didn't catch it, click on "Joe's newest video" after you watch the Joe Coleman video posted above. Most of those clips are from the Howard Pulley League and show how well Joe played this past summer against some pretty good competition (compared to High School).
 





Tweet from Marcus:

"I ran into Mbakwe today and he said Hollins and Welch are impressing with how much they compete. He said Welch is bonding with team quickly."

Go Gophers!!
 

Contextually

I understand you mean Andre Hollins and this is not against you Bleed, but I am already growing frustrated when people just say Andre or just say Hollins in their comments because there are two of each.
 

I get more and more excited for the basketball season evey day ...

lol this season is going to get confusing fast.
 


I'm absolutely giddy at the thought of this season, cannot wait! Well done on all the video postings everyone.
 

I want to add my thanks for the video links. Has anyone uncovered any recent Julian Welch video. I am curious to see how his game has changed (hopefully improved) since his days at UC Davis. Thanks in advance to anyone that may have a link to share.
