I've already requested off for work so I can do the ESPN 24 hour thing. Nothing better than watching two teams you never heard of at 4 o'clock in the morning, so pumped up because its the only shot they'll probably ever get to play on national tv.
I don't care about the wins and loses. I'm looking forward to seeing this new offense, how Martin coaches, and how the players respond. It's excited!
Did anyone get out to practice? I went to the baseball scrimmage and the pep rally, everything was scheduled for around 5 so it was tough to be everywhere. Any info would be great! GBO!
Good opening practice for the Vols. Lots of bodies flying, heavy emphasis on defense and very intense. Of the freshman Wes Washpun really stood out simply with his defensive pressure on the ball, impressed the staff from that perspective.
The team did a lot of scrimmage work and offensive baskets were hard to come by. Defense dominated and hat seemed to please Martin.
The players wore the 10-pound weight vests at the beginning of practice and worked in them for a good bit.
there were approximately 200-300 fans in attendance.
Golden looked much more aggressive in the practice, Woolridge practiced with the bigs in position drills. Cam Tatum and Jordan Mcrae seemed to be mroe vocal than I expected. Josh Richardson and Wes Washpun really impressed me. So did walk on Brandon Lopez. Washpun is quick, just needs to get better at finishing. He is already my favorite freshman. His defense is crazy. The team overall shot pretty well from outside, but Coach Martin had his shot falling. Made at least 5 shots from outside the arc while trying to get the team to practice rebounds.
"Look better" or score more points?
Last time I checked they don't award style points on the box score.
