Well, we've got what Melvin prescribes for us now. =P
Dang, these guys stole my scoop. Hosting our own tournament is lame and I really hope we don't do it again after Maui. Underwood has the same concerns about the schedule that Groce did when he got here.

The B10 had better watch out if we get a Leron Black who can handle the ball fluently.
Yep, having a coach like BU who emphasizes ball handling is great. Thought Leron would have better handles as a freshman after watching his high school highlights. Leron Tejon and Kipper are going to be the leaders of this team.
Liss, too!!
Hearing from my guy (former bball manager) that TeJon Black and Kipper have made biggest strides physically and shooting/ball handling. Also that Jordan is shooting hundreds of shots a day and is hungry to play. And that Trent has gained 5-10 pounds already
Nice interview of BU by Loren Tate: link

For those who need the Summer basketball fix this would be amazing. Someone get Rob to work this up.
From the article about the Prime Time League: "They require all DI players start summer school in June. Why not give them a taste of basketball?"
Question: who is " THEY " ??? And: Who gave "THEY" the authority to require any D1 players to do anything ???
I guess it's just me but I'm guessing Smith has not been impressive in the summer workouts to the former managers.....
