any info will be good

According to his twitter, Jerome Harris, our new committ is there.

Maybe he will tweet some info

Harris was there with another kid who seemed to be about 6'8", 190lbs.

Nothing special as I have seen the guys before. Very intense. Lost of screaming and (cover your ears non-Leach supporters) cussing. Coaches Davis and Marsh ran the practice and were very intense focusing on "doing things the right way". The guys intensity increased with the coaches'. Jacory and KC looked the best of the new guys. ASW seems to be still catching up to the speed of the game. O'Brien looked good - played like an experienced player who knows his limitations and what to do and when. Q looked good. Jacory was screamed at the most but I think its because of what his role will be this year and what he is capable of - he responded well to it. Beas looked like last year, but I have seen him look better at other times this year. Swing, KC, Preston, and Q are the best shooters. Ovie, Cam, Robert, and the other returnees have been through it before so they were very comfortable with what was going on.

That's the longest post I have ever seen you make, and no link.

Per Dave Telep twitter:

Today is the day freshmen learn that the guy who recruited them has more of a potty mouth than he initially let on.

Speaking of O'Brien. St. Joe's is still holding up his 5th year waiver.

Seems their coach, Martelli doesn't just look like Frank Barrone



His personality matches him, as well.

UAB is threatening to take the dispute public and make it nasty if the papers aren't signed with all due haste.

Great promise...the guys look good. We should be able to match with anyone this year. Oh before I forget Cam is taller and is more muscular than any of our bigs. He and Robert hit the gym pretty hard this summer.

Yep. Rob is cut.

I was impressed. Intensity was very good for a first practice. KC can get up there.

Can't wait to watch KC and the Swing Machine in action!

The other recruit was Patricio Garino, a small forward from Argentina.

Anybody know what time the team practices today or possibly tomorrow? Thinking about stopping by.

I would love to go to the practices. When are they? Does the new guy need a translator? Pick me pick me!!!!

According to Harris (who tweets every move of his life), he was going back to practice sometime today.

Gotta disagree. I was there and was very impressed with ASW's physique. He's a stud who looks like he won't take any crap from anybody.

ASW is a TRUE power forward. I think he will be able to get some mismatches with some C-USA teams we play. We are a VERY physical team that will be able to shoot the ball. I am scared to say how good we can be. If we can get solid point guard play from Q and a couple others we will be difficult for anyone in the country, not just C-USA. I will temper it and just say I am excited. We are a deep and talented squad. Davis has done an exceptional job putting this bunch together.

I will say this about Harris - his tweets are much more literate than is typical of young people nowadays...

Cam is more cut than ASW. ASW maybe bigger but Caam has more muscle mass.

Is Herb Harrison expected to redshirt? Kid looks skinny for a C/PF

I'm not sure if he is expected to redshirt but I think it would be a good move. Assuming Todd will be eligible, we already have Todd, Hamga, ASW, Ovie, and Cam who can play those positions. Purifoy may end up playing some PF too, even though I'd rather him not have to.
