NBA Pre-Draft Camp 04.16.09
Well we are finally done with the NFL Pre-Draft camp. Rulon, Sean and Burl will be working out for the San Francisco 49er’s tomorrow and that is the last scheduled workout. Doesn't mean that they won't have to do more later but for now this is it.
Now it’s time for the NBA Pre-Draft camp. Our first camp attendee is Patrick (Patty) Mills. A point guard from St. Mary’s College, Patty, as he’s called, is from Australia and competed for the last two summers on the Australian National Team. Last summer he competed in Beijing; he lead his team to the quarterfinals where they faced the USA Team. Though they lost, Patty had the most productive and noteworthy summer of any college ball player. He was high scorer for his team in the loss to USA with 20 points, 3 steals and 2 assists and ended up as high scorer for his team, averaging 14 points in 24 minutes of play. He is hoping his great summer and this year's play will launch him in the NBA draft. He is declaring early today for the NBA after finishing his sophomore season.
Welcome Patty Mills:

Back on the Block 04.09.09
Well I’m back! Not much of a break but I got some really good rest intervals. So I guess I better catch you up on all the news since last I wrote. It’s been almost a month since the last entry and I don’t have a strong enough recollection to go day by day, so I will just give you the highlights.
The Cal pro testing date went well. Our guys did well but not their absolute best performances. Sean was very strong but disappointed in his 4.5 forty. He went to LA a week after to workout again for the CFL. Burl was back in the gym on Monday after having a very strong day at Cal and running the fastest time that day 4.40. Mika went back to Hawaii for a two week sabbatical. Demetrius worked out immediately after that test on Wednesday down in San Jose on Friday. He finally got a chance to run and he ran his slowest of all the workouts, 4.39! At Cal he was having a stellar day but obviously it was too much for Coach Tedford, so he stopped D from continuing. Demetrius weighed in at 183 and benched pressed 225lbs 27 times the only one to better him was a 300 pound lineman from Cal, he put up 28 reps.
Last word on Larry and Tashaka, they were both looking for pro testing days to try and run again because of poor conditions. Larry ran in 30 degree weather! (Ouch) Kenny took the last week off to go work on his routes. He was supposed to run at San Jose but when he got there was told it wouldn’t happen. We haven’t heard anything yet.
Mika, Burl, and Sean all returned and are working out for the San Francisco workout on April 17th. Rulon Davis, DE from CAL has also joined us. Rulon is an intriguing prospect at 6’5 285lbs. Very intelligent young man who spent his first three years after high school in the Marines and even did a six month tour of duty in Iraq. His nickname is “The Beast.” He is projected as a middle round guy but maybe moving up the charts. Check him out at Rulonthebeast.com
