First workout today

[Phoenixhusky]

Jalen posted an Instagram video of the players in the locker room after the first summer practice. The team looks tired and they are all collapsed in chairs.

awesome!

 

[UC313]

Good. Let's get back to maximum effort.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Lol they look defeated. Love it.

 

[jollari]

The way Hurley has talked about his first practice, I'm dying to hear how it was from the players. I hope someone from the Herd is able to get them on record discussing it

 

[ZenConn]

Wonder which one puked? It's always been a rite of passage in the past

 

[UConnSwag11]

Looks like diarra is puking lol

Great news! we have a hardcore intense coach on the bench again. Seems like he has a little bit of that Jim intensity.

It's an Instagram "Story" so you can't link directly to it. You can view it by clicking on his profile photo on Instagram though: Jalen Adams (@ja4hunnid) • Instagram photos and videos

I didn't know they could do this, have practice with the coaches at this time of year. So when, or how, does it become an impermisable workout?

I’m confused too. What happened to midnight madness being the first official practice? Is this just a workout with no basketball activities?

Believe you get 4 hours in the gym and an additional 4 hours in the weight room with coaches per week during summer sessions. Hurley mentioned it somewhere, that it shifted from 2 hours in the gym & 6 hours in the weight room to 4 & 4 this offseason.

I would pay to see a full video and audio of this first practice. It looks like Hurley tore them a new one.

That's Whaley. Sid Wilson is the other player that looks beat laying back in his chair. AG is in the video too, looks like he worked out which is good news. Polley is the player in the corner.

not worth fixating over, just a quick view of tired dogs in the locker room. iirc I remember Boat saying after we beat Kentucky in the championship that conditioning was the difference. Glad to see we're bringing that back!

 

[mauconnfan]

Love it. Get all this in now so they get with the program and know they need to maintain it while home for a month then there's more time to teach basketball in October.

 

[Dove]

Are their toes in or out?

 

[LIuconn]

In Hurley I trust

No, I'm pretty sure a tag team of JC, Clyde, and Chief himself were running covert training sessions.

I do think under the new administration HURLING would be the proper term....
