College basketball teams across the Big Ten and the country opened practice Monday with a chance for coaches to run instruction for the first time during the pandemic.
Not every team was ready to start. Not every player was ready, either.

The Gophers got a chance to see top transfers Liam Robbins and Both Gach for the first time. They're still waiting for starting point guard Marcus Carr and newcomers Jamal Mashburn Jr., David Mutaf and Brandon Johnson to arrive in Minnesota.
"We're not even close to having a full team here yet," Pitino told the Star Tribune after his third practice Wednesday. "The biggest thing we told the guys is 'this is totally optional. If you're sick sitting at home and want to get back into a routine we're here for you.' It's been fun. You don't know what the future holds. But guys who are here want to get better."
Carr, an All-Big Ten third team player last season, is still home in Toronto training. He hasn't told Pitino when he'll officially decide about returning to the Gophers. The junior floor leader has until Aug. 3 to withdraw from the NBA Draft. Gach, a Utah transfer, already removed his name from the early entry list.
"I don't know what his exact [decision] day will be," Pitino said of Carr. "I'm just keeping in contact with him and supporting him. He certainly understands he has until Aug. 3. Just letting him go through the process mentally seeing where it all stands. See if he can get as much feedback as he possibly can."
The Gophers are optimistic Carr will be back. Johnson, Mashburn and Mutaf are expected to join the team eventually as well. But their arrival dates are unclear with everyone keeping close tabs on the virus crisis.
Pitino said Johnson, a 6-foot-8 graduate transfer from Western Michigan, feels more comfortable finishing up summer classes at home in Chicago. Travel restrictions are complicating Mutaf's trip from Turkey to the U.S. Mashburn, a Miami native, is in a state where COVID-19 numbers skyrocketed this summer.
