Wow. Chris Baskerville, who lagged behind the pack last year, won the race today and looks to be in phenomenal condition. Howie praised the work he's put in physically and in the classroom, and said he could get "significant" playing time. If he can use his strength and add a running game to it, he could become a dangerous 4-type for Central. Simmons, Chris and Kenny could be a very good front court.
Horton didn't run, but he told me his injury was minor. Dickenman said it will be a couple of weeks at least, however, so we'll see. Again, Kenny didn't seem at all concerned. Unless he's a great actor, you shouldn't be either.
Joe was in what Howie called "the best shape of his life," and I fully expect him to have a bounce back year in his last go around. Robby also looked good. Shemik told me he rehabbed at home over the summer and thinks he's ready to go.
Lots more over the next couple of days, including an interesting story that could be a harbonger of how the back court will work this year.
