Dybansta is a man among boys. Lee pretty good too.

The announcer was pretty solid, too. Had me chuckling at the 2:50 mark.

I hope by Nov 22 we've got our rotations straight and don't play all Lucy-goosey.
Last year when we lost to Bama, we took it out on the team we played three days later... so good luck, Sharks!
Sharks would be a bit of an upgrade in talent over Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Maybe not the best headline when discussing a basketball team.
Lot of Brandon Lee buzz coming already. Keaton has flashed quite a bit as well.
I expect Kylan, Andrej, and Tomi to be one of the best trios in the country.

Lol I thought for a second it was going to be a single highlight of Ben missing on open 3 in practice

Lol. Triggered some HS memories for me. At the end of practice, coach would have us shoot FTs to determine how many sprints the team would have to run. Whoever shot the worst on their FTs that day had to run their sprints yelling "I am a bricklayer" the whole time.

Contrary to popular belief , when I played HS BB we did NOT shoot FT's underhanded...............But it was before the clear see thru backboards...........I shot FT's @ 80 % with my beloved corner FG % @ 50 %............loved those corner shots and of course way before the 3 point arc.......................wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before............it really really really was.........dinosaur BB...........
I grew up in the 70/s where we did not have a 3 point shot or I would have averaged 25 points a game. But I never understood missing FT’s. I was over 90% at the line. FT shooting is all about form and repetition. It’s frustrating to see guys shooting FT’s in the 60% range. I used to shoot 100 FT’s a day. If we can shoot an average of 75% from the line minimum, that’s more wins especially with a team that will drive and dish or drive and score.

We had a backboard over the garage so all you could really shoot were free throws from the driveway & the left corner because the sidewalk went up to the front door. My brother was deadly from that corner & the line. And yes, the backboards were all solid!
Damn, beat me to it!!

i will take all of the workout reports you or anyone has all summer. i love them every year, and no, i won't take them with a grain of salt.
It’s a good thing dunks were banned back then, too … or you would’ve been tearing down those opaque backboards, eh?
