HASHIM BAILEY PHOTO GALLERY

KELLOGG ON BAILEY: "The biggest thing for Hashim is to get acclimated to playing again and actually performing at the highest level. He had some injuries last year which prohibited him from playing and even practicing some, but his biggest thing will be getting in unbelievable shape. If he can get his body right, Hashim can do some special things for us. This year is going to be a great year for him to get his mind in a right frame of mind to come out and dominate this year. To get his body in physical shape that he can play 20 to 25 minutes a game. I'm excited to see what level he brings every day. I'm excited to see what kind of shape he gets into and that's a big challenge for him to take that on."
