BQ_90 posted this on the culture shock thread but figured it deserved its own so maybe more people would click on it.

https://instagr.am/p/DMYE1Fmtvs9

They also released roster numbers last week, in order of appearance in that video:

9 - Dominguez
33 - Federiko
4 - Vinson (love the number choice, don't love that he's not listed as Vinson IV on the roster)
1 - Holloway
5 - Lane
3 - Griffen
14 - McDermott
21(24) - He's 21 on the roster but in 24 in the video: Mgbako
12 - Agee (great jersey choice for a name that's almost "Aggie")

Isaacs, who will be wearing #2, is in the video but still not participating in full practices it looks like.

Obviously this is summer practice video but I do like that you can already see players moving into space off the ball and moving the ball. The first game this fall is going to be so jarring.

Hard to watch this and not get a little excited. I still have no clue if we're going to be any good, but we're definitely not going to be boring.

Nothing careful about it, I was ready to light the fire the moment he got hired.

Back in January I had Bucky on the "coaching changes" thread on a fairly short list of guys that were probably set to make a jump up the ranks. I didn't think we'd be the ones to do it, but by the time Buzz left he was the only one left on the original list. Am I saying I did Trev's job for him? No, of course not. But maybe.

I'm genuinely excited. Of course without defenders they're mainly practicing flow so it becomes "subvocalized" so they don't have to stop and think. But I see where he is going with it.

Obligatory, "is the ball supposed to go through the round thing?" comment.

The other thing from this video, which again, you can't pull much from, but one thing that did jump out to me a bit is that Federiko moves better than I thought he did. I don't know why I had it in my head that he was kind of stiff but he looks a lot more fluid here than I was expecting.

I haven't been as high on him as a lot of other people but maybe I'm completely wrong on him.

Is Dominguez officially good to go? For some reason I feel like I saw something where he still had to get cleared by the NCAA.

Looks like they're running an primary fast break and pass out to a secondary fast break. I see lots of movement which is a lovely thing to see. I don't think we've seen a team where 1-5 have the ability and the green light to shoot.

I don't know if we'll officially hear anything or not but I imagine Luke will post something eventually, I think we were still waiting on official word for both Agee and Dominguez, with Agee's being the case that we're a little less confident about.

So weird to see us actually practicing with a ball. And not doing book reports or dissecting the word of the day! Refreshing!

I love the "woosh" sound they edited in when the ball is flying. Such a low-key hype video.

Funny, I was watching it and thinking WTF are we adding dribbling, catching and swish sound effect to videos.

Not before you get a rebound first is what I think I learned these past few years.

I would imagine basketball. If we didn't all of those wins we had were pretty damn impressive then without practice

Could have had a lot more if we had done less book reports and more bouncing the basketball. Might have sniff the sweet 16. But what we have is a NIT runner up trophy and a lot of wisdom!

of course we practiced. We practiced defense, diving for loose balls, rebounding and our basic offense,

Most would say an OT loss in the R32 is sniffing a S16 but maybe some don't sniff very hard

This board has gone crazy. I love everything Bucky has done. He's also won zero games here. We may be damn good. We may be damn terrible. Every new coach is a breath of fresh air until they aren't. We did this exact thing when Buzz was hired. We can celebrate everything he's doing without comparing it to the prior regime that had a very weird tenure (lots of very fun times and big wins and SEC tourney runs but lack of big success in Big Dance with a frustrating offense because of lack of high end talent), especially off court stuff that has zero bearing on hoops.

Here's to hoping he delivers. Gonna be an exciting few years I think

Let me tell you where I was at… anyone but Buzz. I could care less if we hired Bucky, Baroney, Sam Elliot…. I was done with Buzz. I was praying Maryland would call… hell if Sam Houston called I was hoping he would take it!

His voice would have been just as motivating as Buzz's humdinger word of the day! lol

In all honesty I do think Buzz is a great guy, but I don't think he will ever have a team make a deep run on a consistent basis. I think he has figured out how to keep a program relative, and have good to decent regular seasons.

I don't know what Bucky will do, and that gives me a little excitement. We know exactly what we will get with Buzz, and that's why I was ready to move on.
