Despite head coach Greg Fleming out sick, and many players absent, Clemente hoops was able to squeeze in an off season workout with assistant coach Brandon "Cheese" Onuselogu. "Cheese" is a licensed physical therapist and well versed in fitness training (evidenced by his biceps). He took the four young players that made it through a lower-body strengthening session, hoping to help them with fundamentals.

Though most Clemente players are inexperienced in the weight room, the ones that showed up are committed to the work. They're highly competitive when talking basketball, though competition is many months away. Freshman John Rivera and Sophomore Paul Moore banter.

"You know you couldn't guard me one-on-one," Rivera said to Moore, "I'm too strong."

"What's your points record in a game?" Asked Moore. "That's what I thought."

"I'm just trying to stay committed," sophomore Chris Escobar (above, right) said, "get better in my progress. Get bigger and stronger."
