Ready for Upcoming Season

[calban]

"I have no doubt in my mind that this year we will be way more consistent," senior Admiral Schofield said. "This summer was the hardest summer to get a rim to just shoot a ball on because our whole team was in the gym the whole day. I would have to come in late at night just to get my extra work in because everyone has been putting in time. I think everyone's urgency and everyone's focus is being better than we were last year."

Need Bone to average near Frank Mason minutes to be what they/we want to be. Turner can do it in spells, but not consistently and him be as efficient as he and the team can be.

Just read that Kent is having knee surgery. No time given on his return. I thought he might get some PT this year.

No clue what kind he’s having but if it’s meniscus surgery he shouldn’t miss much time. As long as he doesn’t have any setbacks afterward.

Hoping he's concentrated on developing his defensive game. we need the rebounding.

Glad it's not a wing.

Another source listing him as a sophomore...did the medical redshirt get denied?

Not sure how accurate.

Tennessee hasn’t applied for it yet, they can do so at anytime but have not yet.

I wouldn’t ever doubt you with your history of being dialed in with Bball. But why would the staff wait this long to go to bat for a players eligibility?

So pumped for this season

My guess is because the rule is likely to change for b-ball like it did for football, allowing players to play in a certain number of games and still redshirt. If this happens then Kent would retroactively get a redshirt.

Off topic, but the article states Lenoir-Rhyne is a regular season game. Is that true?

I believe that’s true. The October 31st game is the only exhibition game I believe.

They can have 2 pre-season games. The 2nd is a scrimmage.
