Nova Blue White Scrimmage & Closed Door Scrimmage vs. U Md.
Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2015 11:24 amBlue / White Scrimmage on Saturday; consistent observations from many who attended:
- Brunson looks like an upper classman with the ball in his hands; also 3/3 from 3 in the game
- Ochefu's back up Reynolds looks chiseled and long and held his own vs. Ochefu; gives Nova more height than they could have put on the floor last year
- Arch, Hart, Jenkins, Ochefu all solid as expected from upper classmen
- Biggest surprise of the day apparently was Frosh Donte DiVencenzo. 6'5" with a 40" vertical; BE body already; he displayed elite athleticism (who would have guessed for a Italian white kid from DE); shot 4/6 from 3. Some thought that he'd be a potential red shirt going into the season. Many are saying he's going to get a decent amount of time at the 2/3 if he plays like he did yesterday. He was outside of the ESPN top 100 coming in (I think mostly b/c he was injured much of his Jr year). Most of the Nova faithful were blown away by his performance apparently.
I understand the need to pump the breaks and keep one game in perspective but we know what we'll get from the Jr's and Sr's. Good to hear there is some depth behind them as well.
On a side note, we heard that Nova will be playing Maryland in a closed door scrimmage in the next couple of weeks. Trimble vs. Brunson; Stone vs. Ochefu. Top preseason ACC team vs. top preseason BE team. Wish they'd sell tix to that one. Hoping someone can get a recap of that one to gauge where both teams are.
