"Courtside" with Effran Bryant

The first two weeks of practice has come and gone. Last weekend, we traveled to University of Texas-San Antonio where for the first time as a team we scrimmaged against someone else. This was a very important start for us as a team. This scrimmage pointed out some things that we haven’t been seeing going against each other in practice and need to work on. We took the film from the scrimmage and went back to work to continue to improve for this season’s opener.

There were a lot of bright spots in the scrimmage. Our transfer point guard from Ranger Junior College, Corin Henry, really stepped up and led the team as a point guard should.

Our post play was very impressive from the three headed monster led by senior Jeremiah Wilson, junior Donta Smith and junior Wale Ogunoye. They combined to shoot over 50 percent and lead us in scoring. We got minutes from Darrion Washington and Devon Hills, who shot the ball well from the guard position.

Coach Reisman and the coaching staff explained to us to stay focus on improving every day because this game was filed in column three. The game isn’t a win or loss. It doesn’t count towards what our true focus is ­- and that’s a national championship. We must continue to work hard so we can make the steps to become an elite team.
