Bell, Pangos: healthy outlook

As you can see from the photo above, Gary Bell Jr. (beard) and Kevin Pangos (longer hair) have a new look for their senior seasons.

“I’m growing the beard out; he’s doing the hair,” Bell said. “Should be a weird year.”

Asked if he’s been inspired by ex-Zags Dan Dickau or Matt Bouldin in the hair department, Pangos said: “I’m growing Pangos hair because mine kind of grows different than all theirs. I’m just having fun with it until I get tired of it.”

One thing both got tired of last year was not being 100 percent healthy. The two spent much of 2013-14 dealing with pain. Now they’re healthy and they plan on staying that way. A benefit of GU’s deep roster is it can lessen the workload on the guard tandem.
