Isaac Humphries: “I think that just personally I learned that I can compete against bigger bodies. I personally know that I do better against a bigger body as opposed to like smaller people. I just got a bit more confidence back and stuff like that.”

On how he feels he’s coming along with his goal of competing at collegiate level …

Humphries: “Yeah, I’m definitely getting better here every day as a basketball player, and it just helps that I can go up against good competition like Duke. I mean, credit to their bigs. They pushed us and it was just fun to compete with them.”

On how Coach Calipari giving him praise after every game affects his confidence …

Humphries: “I think he just sees me improving every game and just doing something different every game. Just playing hard and that it just gets better and better every game. I think coming in he wasn’t really sure what I would bring, but now he’s kind of seeing a lot of the stuff that I can do. So I think he’s happy with me and that’s
a good thing to know

It's to bad he got injured but they say it isn't serious and may be back Boston U or USF.

Humphries is a heck of a good back-up to have and will get plenty of minutes this season. We could have used him in the Wright State game as Skal only had 3 boards and played only 24 minutes because of foul issues.

It's hard to believe that Humphries is only 17 years old, won't be 18 until January. He has a huge upside and hopefully will be able to develop his game as a quality backup to Skal this season. We are going to need his bulk against some of the teams we play and he came up mighty big in the Duke game last Tuesday night.
