Reports on the first weekend of practice?

[vbird53]

I know the practices are closed to the outside world, and you'd have to be a member of a world-wide spy organization to get some info, but come on. Somebody's got to know something, right?

Don't we have a mole on the inside?

[SubGod22]

You'd expect somebody to know something. People talk.....

[WuDrWu]

People will talk, eventually, I'm sure.

This morning's paper gave some intriguing insight, imho.

Channel 12 did a short exert from a practice yesterday. HCGM said he wants the Shocks to be tougher and in better shape. The clip ended with MG draining a shot from the corner. His shot looks smooth and he will be a keeper. I wish that a handful of practices a year were open to the public. It would be awesome to see I'm sure.

Or those who know, know better than to have loose lips.

Come out on Tuesday night and see for yourself.

Oh, come on. That's what message boards are for--to spill the beans and let everyone know what's going on before we're supposed to!!! :lol:

Sounds like a commie plot to me. Keep Shocker fans in the dark ... an evil plot!! :D :lol:

[lemuel777]

HCGM could be charging us $$$$$$ to "spill the beans". :roll:

I cannot wait until Tuesday night. I keep reminding my wife to get home from work early on Tuesday so we can get to the Roundhouse as soon as the doors open. I have a feeling that this year's Shocker Madness could set an attendance record (if they kept such stats).

:wsu_posters: :yahoo:

OK those peeking through the practice gym windows (as reported by Sully) should have something to say.

Q Practice update? Howz it going?
Anonymous, Wichita 10/15/07

A Friday went so well Gregg Marshall ended it 10 minutes early. The Shockers weren't as sharp on Saturday morning. Sunday afternoon looked a little better to me. My biggest impression is that the practices are all about competition (not that that's a revelation). Every drill has a winner and a loser and the losers run (so, in a way, they win, because running is good). It's interesting to see the mental game at work. The Shockers can quickly add 10-15 made shots to their team score in a drill just by concentrating in order to avoid running. It appears everybody is going too fast right now, probably to impress the new coach. I would think things will calm down this week and practice will tighten up and be more consistent. No big surprises as far as the players go. Everybody seems to have good moments and bad moments. Of course, with a new coaching staff there is a lot of learning going on and I think ups and downs are expected. I may just be focused on offense, but the player I like more and more is Aaron Ellis. He should be a tough matchup as a 6-8 player who can shoot from the outside. Matt and P.J. seem to do the right things most often, which is no surprise.

Regardless I'm stoked for the season. Anticipation...
