Observations from Saturday's hoops scrimmage

I wasn't there but here are some reports from the hoops scrimmage on Saturday"

Hive Report #1
Hive Report #2

A lot of good details in these reports. The freshman are looking good, but the biggest area of weakness in their games seems to be defense. Surprise surprise....not. I am sure that is shocker #1 for high school standouts and in the ACC, the intensity is higher than the rest. Hopefully they realize that they will earn their minutes on D.

As far as the team leader, it appears there is no doubt - this is Jarrett Jack's team. Evidently he is in incredible shape, he is more of a vocal leader and he has really worked on his game. And it seems that he and Luke has really developed a 2-man game, which of course we saw at times through the course of the year.

Scouts from the Charlotte Bobcats and Detroit Pistons were on hand.
