Went to basketball practice at The Rec again this morning. Not much new to report -- the ooooohs and ahhhhhhs have turned into the mundane expected.
One thing I did notice is this: Iran went straight up under the basket for a routine rebound and had an easy put back. Jannson and Ante -- no slouches themselves -- went after the same ball and bounced off of him like bowling pins! And it's almost a sin that a guy that big can be so quick on his feet.
People, this man will not be moved. I don't think anybody in college basketball will be able to out- physical him. As a result, I look for our rebound ratio -- an area where we repeatedly got beat last year -- to be much improved.
