Teeder11 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 This just in: Coach Shay is INTENSE!!! Quote
Teeder11 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Nash is snakebit tday. Can't buy a roll. Should be double figures. Only has 6. Quote
Teeder11 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 But he can make 3s all day, apparently. Quote
Teeder11 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Nash has 9 this afternoon. All 3s. Has missed everything under hoop. Quote
Teeder11 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Nash finally puts one away under the hoop. Quote
Teeder11 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Huff with a highlight steal, juke, pull back and finger roll finish. Quote
Teeder11 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Things are slowing down here. I got to get going to the FB game. The score right now with all sessions added up: 68-70. Green. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I think there was a couple of recruits at the scrimmage but I could not tell who they were. Quote
sioux2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 With webb anderson schuler and antwi if hooker is not way better than these guys u red shirt him. He may have had a descent scrimmage but from what I have heard he has struggled in practice. His minutes would be minimal if he does not red shirt behind the class of guards we have. We don't need 5 good guards for this year. We already have 4 good ones. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 He's clearly better than Antwi and may be better than Webb. Quote
sioux2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Does anyone know why Webb did not play? Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Does anyone know why Webb did not play? Noticed a boot on his left foot on the sidelines.... hope its a sprain Quote
Dustin Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Teeder11, Thanks for going to the scrimmage and providing updates. Hopefully the upcoming season is as grand as we dream! Quote
UND Fan Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Teeder - I also thank you for your report. Was anyone else there? If so, your observations? Also - did you say that Brekke wasn't there at all? Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 A few thoughts from the scrimmage (well at least the first 2 sessions) -Already a fan of coach Shay, he brings another level of intensity to the coaching staff. Was really active during the scrimmage -Jones got after the team after the 2nd session because of game situation (green never fouled white team while down 2 with 15 seconds left... just let time ran out and wasn't pleased) From the players -Hooker has some great vision, and I would trust him right now in running the offense, he also isn't afraid to get in and drive. His shot was a little iffy but that will continue to improve. He is going to end up a star before he leaves. I really hope he redshirts, but if Webb is out a significant amount of time and Stefan doesn't get eligible the decision might be out of the coaches hand. If you can guarantee at least 15-20 minutes a night for him, only exception to letting him play. -Out of the frontcourt, I was most impressed with Salmonson, just found himself to be in the rights spots at the right time. Made some good moves in the post and really works hard. Calcaterra had his moments in the 2nd session, but fought the ball a little bit as well. Nash strugged in the sessions I saw, but the athletic ability lived up to the billing. If he can hits 3 consistently however... that will be just another good way to stretch the floor. I feel slightly better about our bigs but there are still too many questions and those won't be answered until ACTUAL game play. -Speaking of, someone should dig up the answer to why Traylor didn't participate. While he did show some flashes before his grade woes, I wasn't really enamored with him. I would play any of our bigs before him. - Huff.... The second session is when he really started to shine, but the thing I noticed a lot when I was there (and I could be wayyyy off here) was he didn't force a thing. Let me repeat that, a thing. He made the extra pass, did not drive in a 1 on 3 situation and was looking to get into the flow. I think he is going to take another big jump this year. If he can post at least a 50/40/75 (FG %, 3P%, FT%), which I think is very likely, he will be very hard to guard. -I think the redshirt year is going to benefit Tyler so much, he can just sit back and fine tune his game. He does have some nice range but can be a bit reckless with the ball. -Anderson looks to build off what he did last year, which is going to be important for us as well. He needs to be able to hurt teams that key too much on Troy like he was able to last year. -If we can get Stefan elgible, he is what Antwi SHOULD be which is a 3 point specialist. -Dustin H didn't look too bad out there with the group, in the right situation I could see him getting some quality minutes. -Benton, who might end up getting the squeeze with the guards, is the same old hard working bull in china shop guard and I love it. He really got better as the season went on last year and if he someone gets the minutes, expect it to continue. Quote
Teeder11 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 All, no problem and my pleasure! First off SWsiouxMN's assessments were fair and spot on. I'm not good on crowd estimations, but there appeared to be more than 50 and less than 100. I did NOT see Brekke anywhere from my vantage, and I don't know why. I endorse SWsiouxMN's assessment on Salmonson. He was solid. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I too have to agree with the Salmonson statement. I was not very impressed with Calcaterra though. Quote

Teeder mentioned that Hooker, Anderson and Schuler looked good. Is that what you saw also along with Salmonson. I am really encouraged by what you said about Huff and the nice dishes when he was driving against 2 and 3 players. I believe we do need a healthy Webb and Traylor could be huge also. Quote

sioux2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Has anyone heard anything more about Brekke - why he wasn't at the scrimmage (even if not dressed)? Have heard he is still dealing with the concussion issues from last year, may be serious. Hopefully he can play but it's not sounding too good. This would be a huge loss. Quote

Hopefully he can play but it's not sounding too good. This would be a huge loss. God I hope you are wrong, but if you are right that is not good. Out of all the people in our frontcourt he is the most trustworthy. Nash, Calcaterra, Salmonson and Traylor would need to grow up fast and have to step up in a big time way. Quote
