Takes time, however you have to treat, rehab, ice, heat, and take care so don’t reinjure.

You are correct, you are one of my favorite young bigs, a great , smart, high IQ big, heal up, rehab well, your back will get better, takes a little time. Then when season starts, you will be ready to go. It is frustrating, however, when your body is ready, you will definitely be needed against the Big BWC and out of conference teams you will face.

Take care, and best health and speedy recovery Caleb Dressler!

To improve the recruiting pool and athletes coming in to help UH get to next level.

To pick the brain, of a hugely successful coach, who has ties, very briefly , albeit to Hawaii, and Pitino willing to let Gib have access to practices at the defending National Champion? Gib go for it. It will help Gib become better coach,and true, how to deal with today’s MBB athletes, as well as that high level O and D uptempo. One day, Gib might have 10 athletic types that can run all 40 minutes long!

So my vote: YES. It is worth it, not impacting the kids schooling, UH practices, and within, guidelines. I remember, though this in school year visit really unique, Riley Wallace picked the brain of Rick Majerus, to learn the ins and outs of the Flex Motion. Rick really helped Riley and when Riley’s teams were running that O system to perfection, hard to defend, always gave someone, after going through several sets, an opportunity for a good shot!

Have a good trip Gib, maybe Brian, you will receive a tweet about potential get from Louisville area!

WBB too, with Laura B, she will have the girls competing very well!

Thanks for ramping up the blogs, writeups, interviews, latest, tweets about possible recruits, you alongside, two other sites, are really giving Gib and UH MBB a great boost, Hope the SSC will witness, along with close to 6800 -7000 per nite, hopefully, a winning team, a lot of wins by UH MBB this year, I think they have that chance, though what worries me a little, are those, athletic, teams, in Rainbow Classic, and Diamond Head Classic, even Northern Arizona on the road. Those teams could match UH, or surpass UH in athleticism, especially if they go 3 bombing away again! Hopefully UH will defend 3 better and as a team rebound like beasts!

Excited to see scrimmages, and exhibition, then GAME ON! Rainbow Classic first game against Tenn. St.

Thanks for coverage of soccer, WBB, and MBB Brian, and your tweets, we fans love it!! Mahalo!

Especially if not a top 30 athlete. I did like Melton Werts, the guy was a beast, fantastic rebounder and shot blocker, he played when Freshmen first were allowed to compete from day one, did not have to wait till sophomore year.

Agree, hopefully, Mike Thomas, Aaron Valdes, Stefan Jovanovich, Nikola Filipovich, Caleb Dressler, Dyrbe Enos, Jack Hackman, will be starters when they are Jr or Sr, or even before that. JW, has a point and he knew, Rocha, knew, Little knew, Nash knew, Hawaii so unique and far away from Mainland, hard to draw top 30 talent, so mixture of D1 transfers, JC transfers and a few good to develop HS, which is the way to go. I think Gib, is doing that now. Negus, who will be here a year or two, is a Mizzou D1 transfer, and that guy is working to bet bigger , stronger and better, he wants to make it to NBA, however , love his attitude as RS, help this year’s team make the NCAA playoffs, the attitude of the guys, when ONE OHANA, this year is very good!

Besides, networking is important and who knows, we may get the next Tom Henderson type player from that area.
