Last year, Shaka Smart drew headlines by putting his players and staff through Seal Team training. He’s back at it. This week, the team has endured 5:00 AM roll calls for Seal Team calibur workouts, which includes swimming through the probably frigid cold James River.

Last year’s training made a star out of Briante Weber – Shaka said he was relentless and unbelievably energetic. He went only to draw praise from Jay Bilas’ who said he should be defensive player of the year by the end of his college career.
