WSR Full Court Report

I think his highlight tapes show only 30% of what he's about.

There's something special about a person that is this driven at this age. It will be fun to watch him on the national stage.

This may sound funny to some of you but Olson and especially Jim Rosborough used to talk about Josh Pastner as the most driven kid they'd ever seen. He just wasn't born with the talent and athletic ability York seems to have. It made him a good coach as a player including the time he spent with Mike Bibby as a teammate working with him on his shot. He was a positive force with the team even though he wasn't on the floor much during games.

I see an kid like York setting the kind of example that will make the whole team better. I think Miller as a kid might have had a similar work ethic.

It will be fun to have a team that can truly bring it on for forty minutes without coasting. Let's hope Tarc, Jerrett, Ashley, Mayes, and Parrom are working just as hard.

Here is a pic a friend posted on Facebook! Maybe it answers your question.

Thanks,

This work ethic is really encouraging. The potential for this to become the greatest team ever assembled at Arizona is certainly there. We need to play as tough schedules as we can to get this team ready for anything.

This is your guy Gary. I can't wait to see him in the Arizona uniform next year.

Nothing in life is guaranteed, but right now the odds are in Gabe's favor. He'll be hitting the road Friday for Tucson with his mom. If I know Gabe, and I think I do, he'll arrive in Tucson around 7 p.m., rush to help his mom unpack the car and will be at McKale Center with a basketball in his hands around 11 that night.

Train arrives at 730. 30 minutes to disembark and drive to campus. Expect Gabe to be on court no later than 830.

Sounds about right. I didn't get into specifics with Gabe and his mom because they didn't even know the entire schedule, but once on campus there's a lot of orientation stuff Gabe has to do, including getting checked into his dorm. They originally wanted him to move in Saturday upon arrival, but the school won't let him move in until Sunday. Either way, I fully expect Gabe to shake from his family for a little bit and escape to McKale Center with Ashley and Tarc for a little "21".

Thanks Jim. Yeah, I was updating our own basketball roster here at WSR and noticed that the school finally had listed all of the new player numbers. I like all the new numbers except for Hazzard's at #50...fugly.
