Nigel looks just great, man among boys, he's taking it easy on his teammates or he would score every time and ruin practice.I see him taking 30-40 shots per game this season, why lower our shooting percentage while having other guys shoot. Addiitonally, Nigel has grown 2 inches since last year.

Vitto can really shoot it for a big man, if he can just learn to stay out of foul trouble and rebound better and play defense better and handle the ball better, he can really go on a roll for us this season AND he's from Ohio, just like Nigel which is big plus.

Showy made 12 consecutive 3's in practice but his shot looks pretty flat. Bo coached his DAD so even though he adds a lot of energy, plays defense, jumps to the moon and doesn't try to do much with the ball, we must consider that he was a walk-on and he therefore can't possibly be any good, Joel Stave has proven that.

Koenig seems to be feeling the heat of being the "man": this year and had a turnover and missed a shot, Bo immediately replaced him with Jordan Hill and Hill took over.He was Coaching his teammates and running all over the place and the team CLEARLY picked up when Jordan replaced Koenig, Hill is the man, great defender and scorer, we're lucky to have him.I see him playing next to Bronson a lot this year with Bronson the two guard.

Iverson is an amazing physical specimen.On one play, he missed a three but came charging down the lane for a thunderous rebound dunk over Van Viliet which was so hard the ball bounced back up to him and he dunked it a second time before he hit the ground.
Coach Gard told not to that anymore because not only wouldn't the Badgers get 4 points on the play but the ref might call a technical for delay of game. Bo was NOT happy.

Charlie Thomas is the steal of last year's class.He's bigger than advertised, crazy strong and has a nice soft shot , if VItto makes a turnover or Happ misses a shot, I can see Bo going to Charlie early and often.

Lastly, there was a 12 year old 7th grader from Milwaukee who is already 6'5 who scored 83 points in a summer league game that Badgers are recruiting very hard for the 2023 class.I heard Bo tell the kid that if he chooses Wisconsin Bo will stay to coach him, all 4-5 years until he graduates.

LOL, This was meant to amuse, nothing more.
