MEDIA DAY!!!!! ALL ABOARD!!!!!

[Stifle Tower]

It's just a sign of respect. Neto seems like a pretty shy/quiet dude who doesn't want to inconvenience anyone.

It's also a regional thing. Even in parts of Brasil, some would pronounce it with an "R" sound. If he really wants to get technical with us, he probably would say his last name is pronounced Ne-two, not Ne-toe.

Same Day 2 info:

- Snyder pointed immediately to Favors and Hayward for who is impressing him
- Practice is over but Snyder recalled his staff and has them on the floor going over more stuff
- Favors says Snyder seems more relaxed when compared to last year
- Neto says his adjustment to the US has been smooth
- Snyder played up small ball and matchups for deciding between Burks and Hood as opposed to ho beat out who for starter
- Pleiss is every bit the 7-3 he is listed, very tall
- Snyder says favors is a better playmaker this year

Snyder praised Burks ability to get to the rim and his off ball D is much better.

Pleiss's game is translating well.

Favors is surprised by Withey's shooting. In a good way.
