Coach Cal had a zoom call this morning and he talked about what the players are doing. Shawn Smith was there in the call and here's what he wrote about from the call. Cal says all the players are on campus: "All of our kids are on campus, I believe,” Calipari said. “They’re all on campus working. They’re in a tight bubble when you talk about the lodge, the practice facility, and what we have there. They are getting antsy. They keep asking, ‘when are we going to see you?’ You guys understand I can’t work with them until the 20th of July. They’re doing conditioning, weight training, and they’re in the gym with shooting machines, shooting on their own. They each block out time in the gym. The kids seem to be safe.” Cal says he will be returning to campus this week after being gone for a while, but he can't be in the gym with them until July 20th: "We have Zoom calls twice a week. I do a Zoom call with them and their families once a week. I’m not allowed to be in my car waving at them, which is why I left campus. I’ve not been there. They keep saying, ‘we want to see you, I came here to work with you, where are you?’ I’m going back this week, but I still can’t be in the gym with them until the 20th." He added that he wants players to use this time to get right and in shape and judging by what I see on Social Media, that's exactly what they've been doing(individually of course). He says he wants them to start playing with each other in the gym within about a week or 2: "My hope is within a week, or so, we start with 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 to where we’ve been ‘negative’ [COVID-19 testing] for four weeks. We’re in a bubble, we’re safe, as long as no one is breaking the bubble.” He also talked about the "bubble" the players are in: "We’re unique. We’re in the lodge where they are in a single room with a single bathroom. They walk across the parking lot, and they’re in a sterile gym that no one else is using. No one else is in the building. Conditioning is outside. The meals are boxed meals. The chef makes it, and we leave it out. If we’re ordering meals away from campus, they’re delivered outside and left; no one breaks into the building. You got a sterile bubble that’s as good as it gets anywhere. Now we have to say; they’ve been negative for this period of time, they’re like a family now. They should be able to be together.” Does he think there will be college basketball? "My opinion on this would be a guess,” Calipari said. “My hope is that we tamp down this virus, and we’re able to come back and play. My hope is pretty strong for basketball because I’ve got a really good team.” Via Shawn Smith of GBB Country: https://gobigbluecountry.com/john-calipari-bubble-baskeball-workouts/
