Jason Terry's son played for Albany Alexander, I think.

Impressed by his agility in the paint and his handles and his ability to just simply catch the ball and rebound in traffic. Catching the ball....so key for a big man who plays the game of basketball. Keep working hard this summer big man.

Ran pick up with Sonny Troutman, Jeff Halbert, Whit Davis and Bubba Walther (who looking back, must have been on some type of unofficial/official visit because he wasn't on the Ohio roster at the time) at Ping. They would mostly all guard each other, but two scenarios stuck out in my head:

- Those guys would mostly guard each other, but in one instance Bubba got an outlet on a break and I had to guard him because someone got caught under the rim. I heard a couple guys behind me say "he's gonna pull D him up!" and I'm thinking there's no way, he's barely to half court. Sure enough, about three steps past half court he pulled up and canned a three and I was too late on the close out. I couldn't do anything but shake my head and laugh.

- I was lucky enough to be on Sonny's squad and he made it really easy for me. He would drive the lane the entire game and either score or dish. I just spotted up in the corner. I hit a couple shots, enough for him to dub me his "secret weapon" for a couple games.

Unrelated to Ohio, when I was getting my grad school degree at Xavier I used to play pick up ball with Byron Larkin all the time. Dude was a machine even in his I wanna say mid-40s at the time. He was probably only going about 75-80% of what he could do and still torched us every day. The real fun days were when other former players would come join us and then they really turned it up a notch. He and BJ Raymond would go at it and the rest of us could do nothing but watch and question why we're on the floor with two former All Americans.

I once saw KVK put Bubba in a headlock in the heat of an argument in a pick up game.

Only time I got on the court with a player was against Stephen King who lit the gym on fire and even two hand dunked. One time I swished a pull up three on football D-lineman Ernie Hodge.

Oh man the football players were my favorite. Once football season was over they would pack Ping and just go at each other all the time. Some of those DBs and WRs could jump out of the gym. Saw Kalvin McRae in there a couple times but he was the only one I recognized without a helmet on.

I've also ran into a few football guys playing pickup, Vonnie Watkins in particular. Super nice guy!

Like his confidence in the video. It's a good sign that he is able to more than hold his own in practice. Coach Boals should have plenty of ball reversal plays for Victor's back to the basket style from his time with Dwight.

Go Bobcats!
