"I just returned from the HAX in Hawthorn this afternoon.

What a top notch organization and tournament.

Lazeric Jones: He is a physically strong athlete with a well rounded all around game.
He is not going to make mistakes and is committed to defense. He reminds me of Cameron Dollar.

Reeves Nelson: He looks stronger more confident with his shooting and he has added a few new tattoos.

Tyler Honeycutt: He is healthy with added muscle and his all around game was dominant, under control. If he stays healthy and has a solid year, he will be a lottery pick next draft.

They said Josh Smith was scheduled to play, but instead is on an intense weight management program to lose the pounds he added after his injuries. He should be lighter, Healthy and good to go for the season.

Go Bruins"

"I just spoke with one of the team managers and he said a few interesting things. Some may have already been mentioned.

- Jerime Anderson's jump shot is drastically improving. He said right now he is by far the best three point shooter on the team. He is working on his ball handling and is the most improved player so far this offseason. He did just recently have a freak injury and broke his nose.

- Tyler Honeycutt is gaining weight and a lot of strength. The coaches want him around 205-210. He is up to about 197 right now.

- Josh Smith came in at 388 lbs. They have him on a strict diet plan and workout program and he's now around 340.

- "Lazeric Jones is as fast as Darren Collison."

- Anthony Stover is really developing some good post moves. Also, his timing is very good defensively. He just needs to keep getting stronger. The coaches were "very,very close" to burning his redshirt after Reeves got hurt against Kansas but their happy they didn't.

- Reeves' new tattoos are colorful. His whole right arm from the elbow up is colored. His short jumper is also improving.

That's all I got."

Thanks for the good luck wishes, Grand Slam! I've had a slow few months since I recently moved from the Bay Area to So Cal. My internet access has been limited too since I am living with a family with children, so they're internet access is severely restricted :-), so I have no access to youtube, ESPN, NBA.COM, etc where I usually get alot of my info. Hopefully, in a month I'll be moving where I have unlimited access to the internet, and it would be easy to look for UCLA basketball info to post on my blog. Thanks for checking in and GO, BRUINS!!!
