Dwuan Rice: Vermont... 3rd times a charm!
December2010 Filed in: Dwuan Rice | BUA Trainer Blog
After a long summer of hard work, I have finally arrived in Vermont. As you can imagine, its colder than a polar bears toe nail here! No snow the first couple days but temperatures under 20 degrees, Cali boys aren't built for this type of weather lol. I got here a week before everyone else, just to get some extra work in. Coach had me go to a few community events in my first couple of days, but that's over now and it's time to focus on training camp. I am extremely excited to get this season underway.
So far we have some guys that I feel will make the game a little easier for me and some that make me feel like it could be a long season. Nevertheless, this is a big year for me, as I am planning on being overseas this time next year. With that as one of my primary goals, I have to perform regardless of my competition and/or supporting cast. we brought 18 guys into training camp and we can only keep 10, which means 8 guys are gonna be on the chopping block, ugh!
As of today, 2 guys have been released, 3 guys are hurt, and 12 traveled to Saint Johns, Canada for our first preseason game. This year is gonna be a grind, I can already sense it. We have some budget cuts, and team travel was hit the hardest. Instead of flying or team buses, we are doing a lot of traveling in vans. Not so good for these 7’ dudes but at 5‘9, I’m goodie lol. Any-who, Im anxious to get out there and play, but a little disappointed because I wont be playing much. Coach, said he wants to get a chance to evaluate the other players more, so sadly I guess I have to take one for the team. We’ll see how tonight goes, either way it should be fun.
Until next time, Keep me in your prayers and god blesss.
