Yes indeed.

I respectfully disagree on one point. Allison had a definitive limp, both before and after the session. During the introduction, she came out with a sleeve on her leg. She then sat on the bench and placed a bulky brace on her recovering knee. I do not bring this up to be a Debbie-downer or argumentative. I simply want fans to be realistic and to understand the difficulty and hard work to rehabilitate and fully recover from this sort of injury. Allison is putting in the time and work. She is back; but it will take some additional time and hard work for her to get back to her old form.

Didn't hear; but he had a sleeve over the knee and lower leg.

Yes indeed.

Yeah, what he said. And oh by the way, all our bigs have good hands...and are athletic...and look strong...oh my. Repeat after me...it was only one practice; but still.

Yes...

Okay. Watched the ladies tonight. Really hard to judge. Returners all seemed to have upgraded their games a bit. Annika more than a bit. She looked comfortable in the post. Logan plays the game at a good pace and appears to be ready to go. I liked how Natalie Potts fits as well. Darian is going to be helpful. Hard to replace Sam's role; but Darian should help. Yeah, Allison is back on the floor; but no way, no how, is she close to 100%. She has another month before first tip, so hopefully she continues to get healthy. I hate to use the word disappointed, so I won't...but...Jessica Petrie did not meet my expectation tonight. She simply looked misplaced at times. I will opine that she will find herself, and will continue to improve throughout the year.

We have strength, talent and depth throughout. I don't know if I can honestly pick five starters. An interesting conundrum.

What do you think. 3500 to 5000 patrons...maybe.

Blaise is out...but that three headed monster (Rienk, Josiah and Matar) looked terrific. Geeked.

One of the many highlights for me was when Keisei missed 5 in a row...and was visibly pissed!

Norm...so am I. Yes, it was only a pseudo practice, but we got ourselves some keepers.

This dude can and will play! Just saying...

I will be a bit of a contrarian. One of the most important things Keisei did last year was to draw the opposition out to the perimeter. If we have two or three players on the floor that can shoot and hit the three, then we should have a party driving to the hoop, or dumping it to the post for a rather high percentage basket. We really took advantage of that during the last half of this past season. So although the three point shooting will be important, our points in the paint may be more important (as will our free throw shooting).

I will be there...

Cale.

Does this move further open our door for Brit???

The referenced article from the LJS. Have I mentioned that I really like Ms. Just!!! https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/nebraska-crossover-season-amie-just/article_84875071-30cc-52c2-902b-af4e9e529b17.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=user-share

Per the LJS, Allison is now back with the only restriction being her load of work. She is also wearing a brace. It will be interesting to see her on Friday. She still has a month before fist tip.

Perhaps you are right. I hope you are. They did look good yesterday.

Arguably, we lost our three team leaders; leadership is fickle and is hard to simply slot players into that role. Scoring and rebounding seems present; but who will respond to the leadership gap? I am encouraged that we have players willing to do the little things that are necessary to win close games. I guess we will get a glimpse of the team on Friday that hopefully will answer a few of the questions.

With better hops.
