Just finished Franks basketball camp in Pburg. Good to see Frank. He appears to have grown a couple inches ?? Seriously. He’s huge, but he also seems taller. Anyway, he plays each of the kids one on one at the end and dribbled circles around most of them. I got to shake his hand and we took a picture of the boys with him.

I heard from an older gentleman there that it was AWIII who told the staff to check out Frank. Andrew White the first was a legendary pastor who was largely responsible for setting up a charity that has helped out Petersburg tremendously. The Petersburg HS football field is named Andrew White field in honor of him.

I can post videos later.

@jayballer73 agree with @Texas-Hawk-10 here. Minutes are exactly what I’d expect (8 min or 5 min) whether there’s a redshirt btwn Lightfoot/Enanura or not.

@Gorilla72 Try to clear the site data for this site on your offending device. After that, signing in should stick? Unless you changed your policy on retention of cookies or something for all sites?

I’m not an iphone user, but something like what is described in link should work (same functionality as android, I’m assuming, being able to eliminate cookies for a specific site)

@nuleafjhawk yeah the forgot password emails arent currently working. The site is configured to use a 3rd party that used to do free emailing, but they now only offer paid tiers of emailing. Hopefully, with a board upgrade, nodebb defaults to a free emailer again? I’ll look into it with upgrade.

Try to do the same thing as I told Gorilla if you know your credentials but they arent working. If you dont know your credentials, email me from the email you have on record for your account (to approxinfinity@gmail.com) and I’ll reset your password and send a temporary one to that account.

Whether we red shirt now or later or never seems to be not super important at this point. I wouldn’t mind seeing it be entirely the kids choice. Tell them If we really need you we can pull the Redshirt off at any time like Ochai

Yep I pinned it @BShark @dylans

For the last 4 years KU has been eliminated by a FF team. In fact 13 of these 20 tournaments we’ve been eliminated by a FF team!

Things get easier when you knock off the #1 seed in your bracket

(Sidenote: I really need to update board. They almost certainly solve paging issues)

Yeah. Josh at KU was not even close to the same as Allen’s time at Duke. Allen was 10 to the 100 times worse.

@BShark oh I thought he was #5. I was looking for #5 but headband guy wasn’t #5. That’s probably it.

Mokan win 85 to 84 in overtime over teamwhynot

What was the deal there? I didn’t see Harris play at all end game, caught it late at a Mexican restaurant

@Texas-Hawk-10 Houston messed up including Harrell in the Chris Paul trade imo. That trade in general looks bad in retrospect. What happened to their first round picks last 3 years? Traded?

I’ve never seen a guy in more dire need of another one game “indefinite suspension”.

@nuleafjhawk

It was fun.

Genuine lol

@Bosthawk maybe he will write a nice heartfelt note for Houston.

That’s only because I’m the only approxinfinity. You’re the best wissox!

Harris looks great in this video. Shifty, solid handles, finishes with left or right, creatively. Can dunk. Put on some muscle since other video.

I think Mitch Kupchak has demonstrated he is the current worst GM in basketball @Texas-Hawk-10

@dylans I think he’s top 15. I don’t think he’s top 10. Seeing what he can do with Kawhi should be a good litmus test. It’s hard to gauge next to Westbrook.

@KUSTEVE Lifes a beach and in July.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Brogdon will be hard to replace by committee. I do like the Greek Freak plus shooters. Hope Kyle Korver signs with them.

Kawhi to Clippers. Danny Green to Lakers

My gut agrees, my brain is not entirely sold. From a “nobody will question you perspective”, sure. Selling merch, profitable to franchise, sure sure… Ultimately, yes, it financially makes sense and is worth the risk. But in terms of whether it will actually equate to a winning formula with Durant and Kyrie as the focal points, I’m not sure.

Here’s a list of notable players who came back after achilles injuries. Only Dominique Wilkins returned to form, but he was 21 when it happened. Durant is 30.

https://www.si.com/nba/2019/06/11/kevin-durant-achilles-injury-news-recovery-history

Do you guys think the Knicks should have sprung for Kyrie and Durant? If Durants Achilles doesn’t make a full recovery I can see how that could look like a bad investment down the road.

“The Knicks haven’t had a single first-round pick get a multiyear second contract with the franchise since Charlie Ward, who was drafted 25 years ago.”

That quote blew my mind a little bit.

We aren’t going to have 9 losses this year

@Marco hmm I didn’t see that yet. Interesting. I was surprised they replaced durant with Russell as far as Max contracts. I figured a stretch forward would be more suitable. And I was surprised they let Iguodala go to do it. I expect Russell is traded by years end. We will see if Kerr figures out how he fits with Curry against the leagues best.

@Marco he hasn’t yet but I think he will.

Marco said:

The Celtics picked up Enes Kanter. I think it’s a good nab.

He’s not good on D. He’s not Al Horford.

Kawhi, LeBron, AD and 12 league minimum guys … Will that really be the team to beat?

@Texas-Hawk-10 the reason I say a draft pick is that the Rockets were aiming at Butler and needed cleared cap space. So they basically need to dump Capela right? But he has value, so future draft picks that don’t affect current cap space are better than a dump. Did you have in mind any particular Boston role players the Rockets could take the contract of and still afford a star?

If it’s not Butler, I get what you are saying. Im not a fan or Butler or Harden and think they deserve each other in Houston.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I’ve been wondering if Boston can get Capella for a draft pick or two and or pick up a bad contract . Knowing Houston needs to clear cap space for Butler it seems Boston could get Capella for cheap. Capella is a talented big but doesn’t have a trey gun. Wondering if he can develop it or if it matters for Boston.

Ok. We good? Move on?

@BShark I’m not understanding. What happened?

@wissox have my moments.

It’s that time of year where people go all in on snark with nothing better to do. Natural blood letting in the summer. Used to it by now.

@wissox just me being dumb! All better now.

…and we’re back. On a road trip. WiFi hotspot ftw! Hopefully you find my chronic procrastinstion on ssl cert renewal an endearing trait I love you all.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I read that as “if it’s uhhhhh”

I do wish him well, but I also hope that Self knows what he’s doing and that he didnt make a big mistake with Grimes. So I don’t wish him POY well. Just “competent starting PG” well.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I didn’t take fart to be solely a criticism of the kid, I took it as an anticlimactic noise signifying the end of an underwhelming situation. Would Grimes have been a first round pick had he attended another school this year? It’s very hard to believe that, given his combine if not his season. So he came to Kansas and was asked to do what Kansas wanted. He could have improved at the wing.

Was there any better opportunity presented him at another successful program last year? Or was his only better option attending Kansas but to be used differently? And if he had been used on ball more or in post ups, do we know that would have worked well with the rest of the personnel? Would we have Devon back next year? Who knows? I wanted to see Q on ball about midseason but gave up wanting that when Devon started to kick ass. I just wonder if there was any program high enough profile with the opportunity Q wanted available to him. Is it fair to judge your post in a year, barring some derailment, assuming he lasts at a program that uses him as he wanted?

@Texas-Hawk-10 great point.

@BeddieKU23 agreed. We are all amped to see what this team can be but the truth is its alot of speculation until it’s here. Tyshawns comments about it being a young team reminded me. The more we can approach this as a growing year with a championship ceiling and a first weekend exit floor until we get deep into conference play , the more we can enjoy the bumps along the road as these guys find cohesion and roles. The sky’s the limit but we’re currently assembling our wings and probably will be for a good part of the season.

@HighEliteMajor wow. I missed that one first go around. Thanks for sharing.

Did you learn that at a university?

@dylands its more west of menards, something’s gone wrong.

@KUSTEVE I’m in awe of the guy who transformed his body from this: to this .

Pretty sure this guy can lead by example.
