I think Dressler should definitely redshirt. I would also like to see Manroop redshirt, but I think we need him at PG and I don’t think he came here early to redshirt. I think Ozi won’t redshirt because else he would have just played professionally.

I think the definite redshirts are: Dressler, Enos & Harper. Valdes would redshirt if he is not eligible. But I think we need Valdes’ athleticism this year.

Brian,

Mahalo for this great read. Excellent q&a for The Gibper and Rozitis. For now he’s concentrating on the D as he’s got the shooters.

Great to Hear (Infer) that Ozi, Manroop and Isaac are ‘so coachable’, that they are naturally responding to the New Level of Pressure, The New Standard (for them) of ‘Top D-1 Defense’….and these players have shown, they know how to respond and rise to the top of what they choose to do…

The Earliest impressions (Recruiting Videos, Open Gym Highlights) that The Team has so many Offensive Skills sounds to be Ringing True … that these players have skills for scoring the ball… the same athleticism and physical self-discipline that allows a player to score at a high percentage should be convertible to good shut down defense, which is a notable evolution among, for example, NBA Stars…. What is their next step up? Defense for starters…it makes the game so much more ‘consistently’ good, shut down the opposition, And Turnaround and Score, Double the Difference, potentially devastating….

[REF: This is’potentially’ as a goal or a vision, desired end-state…]

With so many good athletes, potentially relentless… scoring draughts for the opposition are harder to recover from against consistently good defense (that is, No Weak Defensive Players on the court as the best offensive players are ‘converting over’)….

THAT could be an advantage in The Big Weat….

There are three outstanding items for this morning:

#1. The report of Brian,
#2. The answers of Davis,
#3. The comment of poorboy.

I totally concurred respectively (sequentially, honourably)!

Brian, interesting, Davis’ comment on freshman standing out so far…I kind of though too, it might be Ozi(Gib was very high on his potential), Manroop(skillset, just has to get stronger and learn D ) , and of course we all know Isaac is a tough tough young athlete..great skillset, he will play a lot this year..

And Davis’ comment on how Ozi and Manroop, have accepted intense coaching and reminders form Gib and not getting down, just play better, get better, coach wants best for guys, and guys have opportunity to play if they buy in and do what coach and team wants..

Well, hope Ozi, Manroop, Isaac, are THE three freshman at this point , possibly see a lot of time with the 7 upperclassmen and 1 RS freshman(Jawato), so far that makes a starting five, plus subs and bench of 11, which would be solid….have another 12th guy on bench to take on road and be there, be it Big or wing or small..one more freshman to step up..

Post your observations, after Monday’s open practices Brian..always look forward to your first hand reports, they have been spot on!!
