I know we talk about how great our strength amd conditioning coach is but this is unreal. Our players are absolutely jacked. Look at the difference in Cumberland and Jenifer.
Also impressed with the shape Brooks came into school with. These players are putting in the work.

Yep, it looks like brooks was set up with a trainer in his hometown while finishing up those summer classes, looks like has the drive on his own to get better. I'm thinking we will really be impressed with him By end of the year

I agree. I have some high hopes for him and think he will develop nicely.

How is a Xavier student going to do these interviews lol? Anyways, nice to hear these guys talk. Wasn't a huge fan of the questions being asked. There's so many other questions I would love to ask these guys but that's just me. Can't wait to see them on the floor this year.

If Brooks can move around well and jump he will be an asset. It looks like he has good mobility for his size. If he's smart and can pick up the offense and defense quickly...he could get significant time. Not really expecting it to happen...but if Moore doesn't improve...he has a legit shot to get good minutes.

It will be interesting to see who emerges between Scott and Brooks. I hope both do. I am mainly speaking from a standpoint of defense and rebounding for back up minutes. I don't think either are far enough along to help a lot on offense...but they can find hustle minutes no problem.

Hustle...run around defend, rebound, box out, set picks, get some put backs, hold on to the ball, etc. We will miss DeBerry on offense but they can possibly make up for that a little with hustle plays.

When is the first exhibition?

Wednesday November 2nd. It's our only exhibition this year. It's against Bellarmine.

 

[GarradJ21]

There is another exhibition just not sure if it will be open to the public and not finalized. Wont be in Cincy either. Also nothing to get too excited for.

Just get us to Nov 11.

We are traveling away from 5/3 for an exhibition? Seriously? That's kind of crazy to me. Not saying you are wrong, just saying it sounds crazy!

Thanks for sharing.

Coach Cronin talked about winning the conference championship! That should absolutely be one of our main goals this year!

I'm more excited about Brooks now than when we signed him. Sounds like he could have a very nice career. Always good to have someone with that size/athleticism combo on the roster.
