New headshots are up.

Does look like Timmerman slimmed down judging by his headshot.

Official practice starts today. Here is a MBB tweet that shows a different picture of each player:

in this unusual year, are there any rules about the date official practices can begin relative to first game? in other words, can we infer anything about the date of our first game based on this?
if, per rumors, we only play a PL schedule, are there limitations on the number of pre-season practices we can have?

As you know, normally the first allowable date for a full practice is 42 days prior to a team's season opener. However the NCAA's statement on revised rules for 2020-21 seemed to say (although not explicitly) that teams could start practice on the 14th - which is 42 days prior to November 25th, the first date when games can be played this year - regardless of when their first game is schedule. I think they wanted to do it this way to provide some clarity since schedules are going to be a work in process all the way up to the start of the season and beyond.
In the NCAA statement, there was nothing about a maximum number of practices prior to the first game. Normally teams can only practice five days a week prior to the season opener, and I imagine that will be in effect.

Quick Q— is Latimer eligible to play right away or just practice this year?
Also I am eager to see Deuce turn it loose! Fast paced play is his game.
Lastly I am predicting solid play from Jake VDH. He has high ceiling.

Latimer was reportedly going to sit this year, per NCAA rules. Given the covid issues, however, the NCAA has been liberal this year in granting waivers to play right away, and possibly Bucknell made a late decision to pursue one. That is just speculation, however, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that. His Bucknell bio continues to say he is not eligible until 2021-22.
I too would like to see some solid play from VDH. He looked overmatched last year, and his shooting - which was supposed to be a strong point - was not very good, even in practice.

I agree. Looks like Timmerman lost around 30#.

Here's a nice video clip from the Bison season opener at Rider 15 years ago:
https://twitter.com/Bucknell_MBB/status/1 329076907...
Kevin Bettencourt hit a winning shot from just inside the 3-point line with 1.2 seconds left to take down the MAAC preseason favorite. The Bison ran a set play for KB, despite him having missed his previous seven shots. The Rider defender showed no respect for his shooting ability and paid the price. Some will recall this was the game where the Bison showed up late due to a fatal accident on nearby Route 1, which caused major traffic problems.

I remember my 18 year old, who was 3 then, falling asleep in the stands while waiting for the game to start.
