Alex Meacham getting into practice on Twitter...

He spoke to a few of the guys and has some interesting tidbits. Cumberland (on a mission), Davenport (is super stoked), McNeal (personable and smart).

Also said the practice was ALL defense. Brannen talked about (paraphrasing) "If you want to be elite you have to be in elite condition...we are running a pro style".

He was impressed by the attention to every little detail. Safe to say Meach thinks we are in very good hands! He's getting the fans jacked up!

Agreed but nothing beats live reps which he flat out didn’t get much of any last year. I still have high hopes for Diarra it also gives us a real rim protector and he’s also a C/PF who can run up and down the court and can flat out jump. He msy be used situationally this year and end up being the backup center but I think he will surprise some fans this year.......... I hope anyway

Obviously you have behind door sit down with them. Ace Mcgee got the boot for demarr Johnson and became all American at Oklahoma. Guess who orchestrated the move happening?

Diarra would only be a soph next season.

Why would you give up on him? He has far higher ceiling than Vogt.

After next year he is a 4th yr JR. If kids want transfer now more than ever make sure kids earning their keep. You guys must not remember Aaron mcgee/demarr situation. We basically cut him.

Agree 100%. He was recruited to play for the Bearcats and his scholarship should be honored unless he has discipline or academic issues. I know this happens in CB all the time, but I think it's wrong. Maybe pollyanna of me to think this way, but the guy wants to be here and stayed through a coaching change.
