Observations from UK's oaching clinic on 11/1/15

[Cornered Weasel]

Cal told those in attendance he was going to run practice as if he & team were only people in the Craft Center. Incredible attention to detail. Stopped practice often for "teaching moments."

Skal...damn athletic & silky smooth

Ulis...assassin

Murray...stud

Matthews...freak! Don't see how he doesn't start

Briscoe...he's a man, but has absolutely no jump shot

Poythress...tentative & out of sync

Lee...showing signs

Willis...Cal stopped practice & "wore him out" over rebounding with one hand. Told players to go home & tell their buddies who think Willis should play more, why he isn't


Gonna definitely be a fun run this year!

Thanks for the update.

Good stuff. I'd like to see us get through this season without a major injury.

I have watched Briscoe play 10 times at least and he can shoot but he is streaky . He is like the twins in that regard. He will make 5 3's in a row and then miss the next 7 . But obviously to say he can't shoot is hyperbole.

Cal was almost working with him individually during shooting drills. Kept saying he wasn't shooting straight. At one point, during the practice, he was complimenting Briscoe on his toughness and defense, then kind of under his breath, half-jokingly, said "Now, if he could only hit a 10-15 footer"

Went to the same event a couple years ago and Cal was driving home the same point to players. He really emphasizes rebounding with two hands. I loved that rebounding drill they do.

As stated, it's like he cocks the ball & doesn't shoot it straight. Funky spin on the ball as a result. Cal is truly working hard to get it straightened out it appears.

I think Briscoe can nail shots, and better with the deep shot than Teague, by a tad.

Do it Cal's way or no play. Willis has certainly had time to learn that by now you'd think.

I sure hope he does. Geez Cal makes Millionaires....

Matthews is going to be a player. Have said this from the 1st time I saw him play.

Briscoe changed his shot over the summer...... and its gotten worse... he went from an average shooter to a poor one. Hopefully its just him getting used to shooting this way and trying to figure out the range because if thats not the case .....go back to the old way please.
