Just when I think that Juice Brown has shown me everything in his repertoire, he drives into he paint and throws an impossible pass to a teammate for a score. Barring injury, he is going to have a phenomenal season.

The team is healthy (even Jordan Lauf who had some surgery on his left knee over the summer), and this group is working extremely hard during the practices.

It appears that Coach K is tinkering with the idea of using Zach Garber at power forward alongside Nathan Boothe as they were together during some of the drills.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Aubrey Williams making an effort to raise his stock with the coaches after a nothing year for him last season. I was sure that he'd get his walking papers before school was out last spring.

Right now I'd say that Stuckey Mosley is playing the best of the newcomers. I'm guessing that he might become Brown's backup at PG. He was playing the point in practice and gave a good accounting of himself. And he keeps his head up when he brings the ball up the court.

The other freshman, Kurt Hall, is definitely not 6-6. He and Mosley were standing next to each other on the court and Hall was just a shade taller than Stuckey, who is listed as 6-3.

2015 commit Taylor Adway is reported to have grown another inch and is now a legitimate 6-9.
