OK, just for you. Let's first examine what a "bad seed" is. You plant seeds, in good soil. water them, fertilize them, nurture them and hope they grow and thrive. Most of the time they do just that. Sometimes in your batch of "seeds" no matter what you do, the seed does not germinate, grow, and mature despite everything you have done Unfortunately, no matter how many times you plant that seed, it will not grow.. Hence, my "bad seed" moniker. Capisici? I am not "writing him off permanently", he is doing that quite well on his own!

So you are saying that you believe he is not capable of growth.

Others disagree.

No one is suggesting that he has displayed model development.

I almost hate to admit it, but it appears Chief was right about James not being ready for the NBA. His past year couldn't have gone any worse given his natural abilities. I still think he had to go, based upon the $, but it's clear from a maturity standpoint he was light years from being ready.

Yeah? 12 more months with unhinged Dan Hurley would’ve changed Bouk’s life?

Yes, and a "bad seed" is never going to grow. That's saying someone is completely incapable of ever being a good citizen. So yeah, that is "writing him off permanently"

That is an absolutely ridiculous thing to say about James or just about anyone.

Make "Bouk" on it!
 
Remember when he signed his letter of intent Hurley said the staff was afraid that Duke or Kentucky were going to get involved and steal him? Maybe they realized the baggage just wasn’t worth it.

I think you’re talking with a generally binary thinker.

I kinda agree. Look at something like Michael Meyer. 7 years old and stabbed his sister. To me, that defines a bad seed.

Yeah, it would have. How? We will never know, but his story would certainly be different and hopefully better.

Bo Diddley is from another generation.

Wonder if JB ever heard of him, or ever heard the song?

Song might reflect his response if he knew the song. If he reads the BY, now he will know the song.

I first heard it by Creedence Clearwater Revival when I was a teenager. I suppose it's most popularly known as a Clapton song, .

I can’t believe Bouk owns a MK-19. Good for him.

Ugh. Posted this joke without reading most of the thread. Not so funny now.

I just hope he wants and gets real help before he seriously hurts or kills himself or someone else.

Oh so true and people turning blind eyes over the past 8 years, fully knowing Bouks shortcomings, who should have intervened, bear some sense of culpability. His issues started during HS/Prep and continued to escalate. A total shame
Expand ...
A lot of people would be surprised to find that people become alcoholics/addicts in HS or even middle school. Once you start forming the habit of self-medicating you are running away from reality (fear based). The detrimental effect on a developing mind of a youth more greatly insures that permanent damage will result. It is destroying our youth and has been for some time. The "big ego" is a smokescreen for low self esteem (you wouldn't like me if you knew what a s_____head I was).
More than a few of our former players have suffered from this along with other family problems. But for the grace of God go you and I.

Because he had 0 accounts of "baggage" when he was a recruit (at least that I'm aware)...and you're implying that these other schools somehow had precognition to know to avoid this HS kid based on things he hadn't done yet

I see a Tom Cruise Minority Report sequel where he's a basketball recruiter!

4 shots of liquor is = .08 and drops by .02 every hour, so if he was 1.4 he had more like 8/10 shots. Everyone lies, they’re better off not answering then admitting to a diminished amount. The breathalyzers speaks for itself in court. I can’t wait for the new “ potalyzers to become available next year. There’s going to be more tickets for that than alcohol. ( we install these for the state of Florida). Everyone thinks that you can drive stoned with a BS medical pot card. Alcohol is legal , you don’t need a card. you can’t drive shitfaced, they’re working on a limit for THC and determining over what period of time since you last smoked or ingested it. It’s a lot more complicated than alcohol which only gets ingested.
Expand ...

I think there is a lot more to BAC than alcohol x volume. Genetics, weight, gender, what is in your stomach at the time you ingest the drink, etc. He might be able to get to 1.4 if he ripped 4 shots quickly on an empty stomach.
 
Does anyone have any clarity regarding the inconsistencies in the reporting? Specifically, multiple articles report that Bouk claimed to have had "four shots of tequila before driving home," even though we know he never drove anywhere, let alone home. I believe that wording was taken from the police report. I also recall seeing it reported somewhere that his car was "found" at a bus or train stop nearby sometime after the hour's worth of air horns and flashing lights. Obviously that doesn't jibe with anything else that was reported.

I am sure the first item is simply a case of poor wording when the intended meaning was more like, "four shots of tequila before leaving with the intent to go home." I have no idea what to make of the second one, though.

You can feel free to actually explain yourself and why you’re so certain rather than just saying it

Unless I missed something, the reporting I saw was that at a minimum, he drunkenly drove his car into some cop cars.
