Capel on Packer and Durham

[JD1976]

*Not a lot of insight as the interview was mostly 35,000 foot stuff.

*No COVID disruptions for the team yet but fingers crossed

*He was asked about Champagnie, Toney and Johnson and he seemed to hesitate before talking about them and basically said they have been good but they need to be more consistent.

*Said the most difficult part of this season is the excitement isn’t there like normal. No exhibitions, no closed scrimmage to measure against others.

-*2 biggest concerns about the season from a COVID standpoint- there needs to be a mandate and consistency with how testing is done and also consistent contact tracing rules. Said without those things will be chaotic and disrupted heavily with multiple games missed and only 13 scholarship players available.

*2 areas of improvement to make a jump - Defensive rebounding and better shooting. (We all knew that)

*He is excited that they finally have 2 quality guys at each position.

*Nothing about the freshmen or Sibande’s situation

On the last item, Capel did say that he still hopes all 7 newcomers will be available to play this season. That would include Nike, of course. So I guess we still wait and see . . . . . . .

What else is he going to say. Of course he hopes. Hope in 1 hand and $h1t in the Other.

It means it hasn’t been denied. Think much?

Lol. It already has been denied. Try thinking for yourself

The appeal hasn’t. Clueless.

Identical take away as from his 25 minute interview posted on the official athletic site.

Yes it has. You just don’t know
