Nike Regional Skills-Indy-Friday PM

Well we're off to the races for the fourth out of five Nike Regional Skills Academies.  There is a different vibe here in Indianapolis.  The kids are a little tenantive as a whole and the excitement just doesn't seem to be here.  On the other hand this is just the first session and Saturday morning has historically been much better than Friday night.  At this point I would say the guards are more physical than the bigs.  Some of the bigs were avoiding each other instead of going after the angles and contact.  The angles and the contact were the point of the drills so that was a bit of a let down. 

There are several kids working their tails off.  One freshman in particular, Robyn Hobson, from Leawood, Kansas, is off to a great start to being named the hardest working player in the camp.  There are others close in proximity but her intensity in the drill work really made her standout in my eyes.

I'll write again tomorrow to give you a brief update and the tip sheets will begin on Monday!
