Actually Derka is probably right about KJ. But his posturing as the authority on what is and isn’t debatable is asinine. Especially considering Derka’s past failures in recruit evaluations. Basketball and football.

KJ Adams is such an athletic freak and so physically developed that he’s not listed in the top 60 NBA prospects for his class, despite the NBA drafting on potential and physical gifts. 🤔 Look, you might be right that’s he ready. You might not. It’s subjective and you aren’t the final judge of what’s debatable.- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Shaka Edition
So you admit it’s a work in progress. Thank you. Maybe he gets there, maybe he doesn’t. It’s subjective not objective.- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Shaka Edition
@Goo Punch Derka, I know you get upset when people have differing opinions. But is it ok if KJ Adams has a differing opinion? Because here is what he said. "Last year, I was torn and my body was aching. I think my body was ... not giving up, but it was really tight," he said. And here is what his trainer said, "His muscles have grown so much and he's grown so big in such a short amount of time that we had to really condition his tissue. It was really, really tight and it didn't want to move," Vaiana said. They are saying his body isn’t ready. The muscles look good in a YouTube clip but they are popcorn muscles. He’s not physically ready. That’s him and his trainer saying that. Not me. To repeat “IT DIDNT WANT TO MOVE” That is not a body that is ready. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kvue.com/amp/article/sports/high-school/hs-basketball/four-star-adams-working-with-former-ehlinger-trainer-during-offseason/269-607eea6c-ccce-4b07-8379-8b068720421f- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Shaka Edition
Yes. Now go google some more bleacher report articles. I’m shocked that a Penn State blogger(your post) had a Penn State commit ranked above Sam. Performance at Elite 11 is subjective. When do you think Sam enters the transfer portal?- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Shaka Edition
Oh I guess if Bleacher Report said it, it must be true. How did the Onion rank him? When do you think Sam is transferring?- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Shaka Edition
Winslow is just expressing his opinion and people shouldn’t overreact. That’s how the recruiting board is supposed to work according to you, right?- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Shaka Edition
I don't think KJ is going to be very good in college. I'd peg him as a likely transfer candidate at this point. Yes, at this point, a year before he ever has even a chance to play at Texas. I've seen him a lot, and I don't think he has what it takes to be the starting PF at any school with legit title hopes.He has okay size, okay strength, and okay mobility. He's a very good HS PF who plays for a state powerhouse that has a long like of very good HS PFs. He wins a lot, he has the right attitude, I don't have anything bad to say about him as a person, I just don't see "future University of Texas PF” when I watch him, especially at AAU Camps. He did not look very impressive in drills, and his lack of zip on the ball showed. In my opinion he's a PF who will max out in HS, or at a smaller school; one that doesn't strive to win a national title.I think he'll redshirt next year when Hepa is the unquestioned sophomore starter, and I don't see him deciding to hang around two more seasons as a bench rider, just to hopefully battle for the job with whomever else we have at PF at the time. I'd expect him to transfer out and get PT somewhere else.- Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it

I saw Nirvana perform in Austin, therefore they were not a specifically Seattle grunge band. Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds?- 2020 Presidential Election -- Biden v Trump: Sleepy Joe vs Dopey Don [Results begin on page 409]

This is 100% true. When I was 7 my grandfather was tired of me running off from the family during public outings. So he got one of his friends to kidnap me at our county fair. I totally froze when the stranger grabbed me and didn’t say a word. I was carried away from a crowded fair without anybody noticing because I was mute.- Welcome to the American Inquistion

I don’t want to, but I partially agree with GW. The dude could have easily said he owns the place and said hi. He wanted the situation to escalate. The lady was overbearing too though. GW is nuts about the “already recording” part though. Takes 1.2 seconds to start recording and everybody carries cell phones. Not sure why GW even cares about that point.- 2020 Presidential Election -- Biden v Trump: Sleepy Joe vs Dopey Don [Results begin on page 409]
Ahh yes. Youth. I remember thinking Rock the Vote was going to be HUGE. It was nice being hopeful. And naive.- Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
This is definitely a question. I can tell by the question mark at the end. @Johnny Sack- 2020 Presidential Election -- Biden v Trump: Sleepy Joe vs Dopey Don [Results begin on page 409]
Anybody following the OAN debacle? They promised a positive poll and then deleted the poll when it was shown to be bad for Trump.- Donald Trump 2020
Please don’t be this naive, that’s for Trump supporters. It’s not real.- CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
Your premise is flawed. The relevant parties don’t know the data inside and out. The people that buy the data don’t know exactly what’s under the hood. Combine that with a desire for expediency and they bought bad data. It happens.- CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk

It’s certainly possible that malfeasance is the answer but after reading the article I find it more likely to be incompetence caused by rushing. The doctors used a data source that hadn’t been fully vetted. It appears their conclusions matched with the data, it was just an unverified data source.- Donald Trump 2020
Then why did you bring it up? So, bet money then?- Donald Trump 2020
Have the mods do a check on me. I accept your “no post” bid with no clarifications and agree to have the mods check my IP for “socks”. It’s a no lose bet for you if you know Trump will win. - Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Shaka Edition
