Summer has never been as important to the Shockers men’s basketball team with nine of 13 scholarship players and two of three assistants new to the program.
Gregg Marshall will have just 11.2 percent of last season’s minutes returning for the 2018-19 season and while the coach has stockpiled his new roster with talent, length and athleticism, there’s no denying it will take time for all of the new pieces to gel.
Building team chemistry is always an emphasis during the summer months, but even more so this time. That’s why Marshall and his staff try to organize at least one team-building activity per week.
