Through the first 2 scrimmages we haven't heard much at all from Bowers. It seems like he would be dominating our scout team.
The scrimmages have not been the scholly kids versus the scout kids. 6 Schollied kids are on each team and it's fairly even overall.

Practice Notes:

-Granger sat out practice due to "concussion symptoms"
-Granger is competing against Spencer for first big man off the bench
-Canty,Tahj, Bowers and Harris are becoming established starters
-Dunans, Brown, Lang and Purifoy(if eligible) are competing for starting wing
-Pearl said top 8 group is becoming clearer
-veterans need to be better and Pearl is harder on those guys than the newcomers
-practice was sloppy

Bmatt said that Lang is probably the best 3 pt shooter outside of Brown

Just watched pearl's post practice interview. Sounds like the team may take some time to develop. Could be a slow start to the season.

Any rumors on when we will know something on Purifoy? He ran with the scout team yesterday, which isn't encouraging.

I don't think updates on Purifoy come until a decision has been made.

While it is Pearl's 2nd year, this will be his first attempt to run his style of basketball. He is also doing this with a number of new AU players whether FR or transfers.

We don't have an "easy" non conference schedule with UAB, Colorado, @Xavier, @Coastal Carolina & Hawaii Tournament

Pearl commented that our top 8 only beat the scout team by 11 and said UAB and Colorado are way better than our scout team. Sounded more like he was trying to coach the team through the media a little, but also managing expectations some as well.

The scout team had at least New Williams, D. Purifoy and Waddell who went like 4/5 from 3pt land. If you are hitting 3s and had ultra talented guys it isn't unbelievable to keep it within 11

The first team had 8 guys so I imagine it was something like

Canty, Tahj, Harris, Bowers, Spencer, Brown, Lang, Dunans (No Granger concussion)

Scout Team

Purifoy, New Williams, Waddell , Brown? (if Granger was counted as a 1)

Correct.

I think that was a different scrimmage, but he could have done it again yesterday.

Correct. That appears to be the rotation that is taking shape.

Our scout team is known for practicing their 3s. If we have a bunch of new guys learning how we want to play defense, I imagine a lot of kids were left open and a lot of them drained 3s.

Sounds like we were turning the ball over a bunch and taking quick shots against the press.

Both AUC and AUR will be surprised if he is eligible to play this season. They say for eligible players the NCAA usually decides quicker than this on these situations.

If Granger and Spencer are competing for first big off the bench that must mean Harris is playing 4
