Started at 3 pm.....Camp in session.......... Coaches again came over for a short ''Bull'' session....They could not say much due to NCAA regulations, but seem very pleased with new signee, and he being a good Iona fit. Hines may be pleasant surprise...Coming into his own...Feels as if he is ready to bloom...Has developed a deadly outside shot... Casimir does not seem to let size bother him...Team appears to like his aggression... Sledge a No Show...No official word, but getting a strong feeling he won't be back... Williams keeps impressing not only in his play but in his friendly manner.... Grosso although busy with team never fails to come over for a brief chat...I can understand why he is a top flight recruiter...  |

Thanks for the update OT. Really think Hines and Casimir are going to play important roles this year.

OT, was Beesick watching practice? And when I thought of it, I don't remember seeing Young at yesterday's session. And while Robinson was just watching, Amayo was shooting on the side court. Any change there? Also, figuring that AJ English was away at his "camp" job, and that the Greek kid still hasn't arrived. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input.[/quote] IC.....Did not see Bessick, and he is big enough not to miss......Had a nice talk with Robinson who practiced shooting with leg protection...Nice kid...He is from Norfolk Va. Stated he was taking his time this time around and would be active practicing late next month... A.J. was there...No longer thin kid, but has broadened his shoulders and thickened his arms greatly...We found a rare gem with English with best yet to come... Heavily muscled kid shooting alone off to the side, that might have been Amayo... Must mention...How impressed I am with players I have met and talked with...A class above, and one that Iona fans should be proud...  |

I just noticed on another thread, that Young is gone, along with Sledge. On my August 5th post (see above) I stated that I didn't see Young, and when I did see him play, a few weeks back, I noticed that he was athletic but seemed very tentative when he did get into the pick up game. Not a vg outside shooter, but more of a, "take it to the basket" type player. As for Sledge leaving, I'm sorry to hear that, if true, but I was told, in confidence, a few months back (by a third party) and inferred that info in my I'm BaaaaaCK thread.
