I have to admit, this was 1 practice I was excited to see. Here are my observations of each player:
Dez Wells–absolutely the strongest driver to the basket in my Terrapin memory. Franchise was superb but Dez is stronger. If he clears the NCAA, possible finishes for this year’s terps would skyrocket. YES HE IS THAT GOOD!!!!!!
Alex Len—early on the guards got him the ball down low and he was a force. Physically looks completely different. At 7’1″ we better make the most of his talent this year
Seth Allen–love to shoot the rock. Good aggressive driver though he was hit with 2 charges
Logan Aronholt—very obvious he can shoot as he swished a 3 pointer
Pe’Shon–steady as a rock, he just won’t have to create that much on this team
Nick Faust–10 points—drove well to the hoop—it will be interesting to see how his role develops on this squad
Mitchell and Shaq—quiet games today but both are stron rebounders. Turge said Shaq is a relentless rebounder
James Padgett–quiet game today– he will have to adjust to not being the dominant big on the floor
John Auslander—just seems to be in right place all the time—probably the 10th man in a 9 man rotation–Turge said something to that effect
Jake Layman–aggressive early but tweaked his ankle though it didn’t seem serious
I LOVE THIS TEAM ALREADY
Scot Van Pelt, Juan Dixon, Taj Holden were in the house today

Wondering how long it would take for NCAA to declare Wells eligible to play immediately , if he had chosen UK?

of course your response should be don’t call me shirley and of course i’m serious.
