I learned more coaching this year than hopefully I ever have to in the next few years….. None of Blinns sophomores have committed to a four-year program yet.While Arnold speaks to four-year programs and tries to find new homes for this years outgoing sophomore class he will also begin to work toward building next seasons team.Its a blessing he said. It makes me even more hungry to get on the recruiting trail and get this team going in the right direction which I think we will with time.In addition to spending more time recruiting Arnold will be able to fully install his system next season.

To Guy in the Office:

Thanks; Went to look tonight for myself;

Agree — Stokes (even his words make it appear clear that he) seems to understand on different teams you take on different roles (paraphrase: “…maybe at U.H. where everybody can shoot, i’ll be mostly a passer…”);

tonight he had two steals (or 50-50 plays depending how you score) and three assists in the immediate three minutes prior to halftime; that’s a momentum turner; other times he took it straight to the hoop for high percentage shots (sounds like he missed more from outside tonight than in his first two games); ALL Reports, including from experienced point guards who ought to know — he’s a real deal impact player … i’ll consciously give him some space to be a freshman, but players are already talking ’bout taking in PRACTICES so that they can see the Miah-Shaq daily battles which may be better than many of the game time battles …

THAT’S When you know you’ve got a real good team – when the practices seem tougher than the games like almost All Volleyball and Most Football Weeks …

Eagle: Check out the video on Dayton Morinaga’s warriorinsider.com web site; from the short snippets, it didn’t appear that Stokes had a “shoot-first” mentality.

Do we know the dates for “The SECOND Summer Session” versus The “BRIDGE” Session — it sounds like the Bridge Session might start and run a few days later — this might give the freshman ‘a chance’ to learn/experience at least one or two classes “College Style” — i can’t imagine California’s High School ‘College Prep’ is All that Much’ Better than Hawai’i’s what with their catastrophic Budgetary/”Bankruptcy” Concerns and the “Party Rep” of many of their Colleges …

From the Box Score, Sounds like new freshman Point Guard Shaquille Stokes might have been establishing his game or manhood last night — playing for ARMY in Summer League (didn’t see the game — comments anyone?) he outscored Julian Sensley 27-17 –
– shoot first pg or just hot(?),
– Gunner(?) or Took high percentage shots?
[They won by 21 points, 105-84, so style of play may not have been as critical]

do you happen to know when they’ll start to play in the summer league? I went the other saturday and just saw Pii Minns and Zane playing. will probably head to a few this week.

i don’t like the sound of the three los angeles freshman not making it here in time for the trip. that is definitely a setback for them and the program.

it sounds more like a subliminal message is in those words; like perhaps academic qualification is still in the air.

Shoulda said: Get Dayton AND/OR Brian (better Both!) to China-Japan …

Cal Freshmen only recently completed classes and still need to clear clearinghouse (?); their Basketball progress likely will be slowed — BUT as long as they can still get a jump on one or two sessions of summer school That should help their transition — getting into the books & good study habits — although i know Coach Gib is good at getting people schooled on meeting commitments and doing their work; the jump to college schoolwork AND Bball can be tough — i know i had to learn how to study ‘cos high school, even though private and honors, didn’t require any where near as much work or self-discipline … we also need to end the trend of losing first-year players, especially freshmen (like last year and in past years that helped lead previous coaching staffs to lean heavily on JC players)

Hey Ball-ers and Bloggers — put da money where the mouth and blogs fly and let’s get Dayton to China-Japan with the team … (maybe Gib can sub some coverage in lieu of missing players?)

I dont like hearing this, too bad Blakes, Biggs and Stevens won’t be making the trip and bonding with the rest of the team. Hope they all get into school.
