I did go and this will sound similar to Bruins31. The most obvious difference we kind of knew going in, bigger at the 4,5. But I was pleasantly surprised by the athleticism, they all moved really well. Chad looked as good as he's ever looked, just seemed to know what he wanted to do and did it with confidence and got up and down the court. He won't unseat Windler starting, but should contribute more.
Bradds at the 3 had two dunks and a couple of alley-oops in the scrimmage and Byrd commented we'd see lots more of those in the next four years. Surprising to hear that from Coach Byrd.
Bradshaw won the dunk contest with some serious dunks, Bradds was in the final with him and was also entertaining. Bradshaw and Chamberlain were what I expected at guard. Luke struggled most of the scrimmage. Chowbay knocked down a three as did Turner and Laidig. Barnette can really shoot with range but he'll be a great addition next year. I think we still need a quick PG. Not sure if we'll sign one this year but looks like we're recruiting hard for one in 2015.
One other interesting change, the lighting in the Curb. They changed the traditional gas lights to LED's I think, it's an odd change for me, it seems really flat and lacks the crispness of the "old" lighting. Undoubtedly, they are saving a bundle on power, but......maybe I'll get used to it. Not sure how it's going to look on TV either. Again the old lighting looked great.
Oh, and there are words to the fight song, lots of words.

In other news, we scrimmaged Wofford earlier this week and apparently played well once again. Can't wait to to see the boys lace em up when the games begin to count and we can actually watch!
