At the Court Club event tonight Frank said that Gapare would be here over the weekend and be at practice on Monday. As for Woodley, he is still working through some things. He's going through a tough time and Frank isn't rushing him back but I expect we'll see him at some point. Just not sure how soon.

A few other notes:
. This roster is different than what Frank normally has. It's more athletic but not as physical. We'll play fast on offense but not just jack up 3's.
. Keon will become a fan favorite. He's a junkyard dog who seems to get every loose ball.
. Brandon Martin is better than I was expecting. It is definitely NOT a wasted scholarship as some may have implied.
. TJ twisted his ankle on Tuesday. Might be ready for AIC.
. DD turned his ankle at the end of practice today. Doesn't appear serious.
. They are bringing Luis along slowly after his shin splint flareup.
. Secret scrimmage at Holy Cross on Sunday, then the exhibition vs. AIC on Tuesday.
. Gapare might play against AIC. Frank says he has so much natural ability he's not afraid to play him right away (limited minutes).
. Frank runs a hard practice, stresses fundamentals. Best quote - yelling at a player (not to be named) "Your body is down the court but did you forget to bring your brain?"

Thanks 69 for the recap. Really looking forward to this season. I like that they are supporting Woodley and hope he gets back to a comfortable place with the team. This team looks sooo deep talent wise and Frank seems like the perfect leader

I don’t think that we were ever really in on him but anyways, Jose Perez can say hello to our old friend Tre Mitchell because he just committed to West Virginia.

On a serious note, and with Woodley it is serious. Woodley missed some school when he went back to NJ. Frank said that he is working to catch up on his academics in addition to working through the other issues from the NJ incident.

^ He posted on his Instagram page. I don't remember all of it but he has a girlfriend and child in NJ. There were shots fired at their home. I don't think anyone was hurt but Woodley rushed back to NJ, as he should have.

Maybe someone with better Instagram skills than me can post it or give more details.
