Had several people reach out and yeah I am okay and will be okay. Just a bad stretch where I didn’t want to be online as much.

As I think I have posted before my brother has cancer so that is a lot. He is autistic so I have to handle more or less everything in terms of scheduling, talking with drs etc Well about a month ago the chemo meds probably almost killed him due to a side effect of increasing his blood pressure massively. I thankfully got him to the hospital in time that Sunday night. Also didn’t help that he was dehydrated. This required a multiple day stay in the hospital which also delayed several things regarding his treatment that all had to be rescheduled.

This was coming off of finding out a long time friend committed suicide just days before. Then after that, the dad of my long term GF dies, he was only in his 50s. Then a bunch more medical crap that should be finished for awhile as of yesterday. My brother’s scans came back clean, they did bloodwork etc and he isn’t having to do chemo. They will check back again in three months.

So it’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but things have calmed down now.

You made it count when you got minutes. Good on you kiddo.

Our only RSCI top 100 players truly in the rotation are Dave and JWill.

Couple KS 3 stars (Och/CB), a PG going to Missouri State, a super walk-on and Remy is obviously good but was a fringe 4 star (depending on the site).

Player development is so good, and people (myself included) tend to underrate returning players.

Didn’t really want to talk about this beforehand but it went well. I should be okay.

We got a star here.

Says he told his team to back off, but he had starters in PRESSING AND HARD FOULING KU’s walk-ons with 2 minutes to go. I call bullshit, Squeaky.

BAH GAWD, THAT WAS A GREAT GAME FROM DAVID MCCORMACK.

He’s been serviceable all tournament. Tip of the cap. I’ve been hard on him all year.

Turns out it was an internal blockage, they said it’s not uncommon with people who have had surgery in that area. Should hopefully be back home in a few days.

They ran some more scans this morning and are going to see if the surgery isn’t needed. It responded better than expected. They are going to see if he can drink liquids without getting sick.

@approxinfinity They don’t think he will need a colostomy bag at least… Hopefully that proves true.

ETA: It really does help to just have a place to talk about this.

@approxinfinity said in I'm Back:

@BShark best outcome! Whew. Glad to hear.

Does seem like they are going to have to surgically remove it now. They were hoping it could go away naturally with help but it isn’t.

taking him now, hopefully just food poisoning (I got sick yesterday as well after we ate somewhere)

@Crimsonorblue22 said in I'm Back:

@BShark oh no! I thought he was thru the worst of it. is he back on treatments? I’m so sad for you, hang in there.

I am not fully sure but he seems to be sick again. Sometimes it can be hard to know what it is, but will need to take him to the hospital probably.

@mayjay wonderful news

It’s getting worse with my brother the last week or so.

Completely agree on Agyemang. AWFUL.

@approxinfinity said in Recruiting Notes:

@BShark nice. Would be great to put the core of that class together early

I have heard part of this is wanting to get a big centerpiece commitment early to get the ball rolling. Do think Holt is most likely and Stokes is now trending Nike.
