hahahaha oh the bj innuendos you can make in my profession..... like inadequate lip closure, anterior spillage or oral contents, eliciting a gag, handling thickened liquids....

you seem to know them all? Hmm!

I appreciate the content, but the sentence structure makes it pretty difficult to read.


GO JALEN!

Really? Don't read then. That's poor structures, yes?

Dude doesn't really know what he's talking about. There's nothing really wrong with the sentence structure/syntax itself, it's more of a punctuation thing. We use commas and periods and stuff like that to add a kind of depth that is normally created with pauses, stress and loudness patterns, etc. in spoken language that is missing in written language. Emojis are taking over for some other suprasegmental/nonverbal stuff these days, which is of course great.

Some work on using commas to better indicate phrase boundaries is really all 3 needs. On which, as I said, I'm happy to work with him, as opposed to just dismissing him like some of our more mature posters.

Think 3 is highly thought of here. The kid does a great job getting and sharing information on recruits and everything u conn . Don't see anyone busting the kid and certainly shouldn't be nitpicked.

When in doubt leave it out.

His dunks and drives are very Derrick Rose-esque. Very impressive highlights in the video

 

[breezy]

Very excited to see him in a husky jersey.

Gotta love the refs aggressive tech call at 1:25.

 

[noeynox]

Didn't realize he had insane hops like that. Similar to Boatshow that way?

Adams is a very good two footed jumper. Really explosive. Not sure it's exactly the same off of one foot.

 

[CL82]

You know mixtapes are mixtapes but man is it hard not to love this kid. Range, hops, explosiveness and swagger. He's a keeper.

That sounds exactly like Boatright.

I preferred the hero point at 28s by the dude in the vest. Just lovin life.

 

[noeynox]

Anybody else see a little Dyson in his game? Maybe his three point jumper that looks like a set shot.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Yep. That's the one thing I would hope to see him change a little...to shoot a consistent jumper with high release point on every shot, including 3 pointers. While at UConn, Jerome never really developed a jumpshot he could get off while defended. The set shot from deep was never consistent for Dyson and his somewhat low release point on his shot made him shorter than he was, so to speak.

 

[jibsey]

Imagine what he'll look like in 16 months.

 

[intlzncster]

I'm more of a "when in doubt, put it in" sort of guy. Boom.

 

[HooperScooper]

I didn't see these comments from Adams and his coach at Cushing Academy in the Journal Inquirer posted anywhere last week. Good stuff.

“His national ranking is whatever it is. He’s in the 20’s or 30’s, I think,” Connors said. “I’m a little biased but if there are 26 better players out there, holy mackerel, I’d like to see those guys.”

 

[HuskyHawk]

Wow..been up in VT with no internet, and so I saw the tweet about Jackson decomitting for UGA before I saw this. I feel better now.

LOL imagine the meltdown that would have went down if Jalen had yet to commit

Well yeah, that's why I was shocked reading this thread. Suddenly the BY was singing "kumbaya" and being very mellow about losing Jackson on top of Ali (assuming he is lost). No tantrums, no blame Warde rants...just well wishes for Jackson. I thought perhaps I wandered into Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Then I saw the Adams commit thread.

I think part of that has to do with Turtle's poor play this past spring and summer and his huge drop in the rankings. People are thinking UConn didn't lose anything and opened a spot for one of the highly rated guards they are after.
