Hotty Toddy Rebel Fans,The first session of summer school is drawing to a close, but with thatcomes understanding that the first day of practice is drawing nearer..."It's great to be a Rebel." Ever since I showed up here a year agofor my first experience of being at Ole Miss, I have heard how greatit is to be a Rebel. It was really hard for me last year to get the fullgist of how great it really was with my knee injury, but going throughsummer workouts and enduring preparation for what's to come isproving to me that I am lucky to be where I am.Summer school is always a lot of fun, not only because classes areonly two hours a day, but also because I have a lot of time to be ableto get in the gym, workout, AND go shopping and hit the pool. CoachD, (Randall Dorvin) our strength coach, has really stepped up inteaching not only technique and agility, but also the mentality of whatit takes to be an Ole Miss Rebel.As a team, we are thankful for what is to come. It's not going to beeasy...but what's the point of doing something if it's too easy? Wethrive off of competition and the willingness to succeed.In July, we get to meet our new teammates! We are excited toextend open arms to the newest members of our Rebel family. Thisteam has always been close...like a sisterhood. We support eachother on and off the court, and we will treat these newcomers theexact same way.It's such a blessed opportunity to be here at Ole Miss. To be able toplay basketball and get an education is the dream of many...it's greatto be a student-athlete, and it's great to be a Rebel.- G Frizzell 12
