Demon Of The Fall posted:2020 4-star SG Keon Johnson committed to Tennessee tonight. #1 player in the state, top 35 in the country. I love how everyone is like "Top 5 class, yeah!" and it's literally just two kids. I've only just recently started paying attention to basketball recruiting and I'm so used to Football classes being like 20 kids.

Early signing period for basketball is in November and the big commits really don't start announcing until October, right up on the start of the college basketball season.

Anytime you can reel in the #1 kid in your state I think it’s a big deal. We’re still on the running for a few more big fish, so this class could be special.

Texas Tech is playing basketball in the Bahamas today. e: Tech lost by 6 https://twitter.com/TexasTechMBB/status/1161778134385082370 4 of 25 from 3 point range including 0/7 from Kyler Edwards, who was 8/12 from 3 point range during the tournament in March. There was a decided lack of offense today. kayakyakr fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Aug 15, 2019 |

Georgetown beat the same bahamas team by 30+ Tonight, tech won vs the Serbian all-star team 94-92... Which is.. different. 5* freshman Jahmi'us Ramsey went for 44 points and 10+ rebounds... I get the sense that the Serbian team doesn't really play defense, though.

Kansas' strength and conditioning coach is possibly the best in the business. Or was. https://twitter.com/mctait/status/1162196791930040320?s=21 quote:News of Hudy’s departure comes a few months after KU’s athletic department restructured its health care plan for student-athletes by shifting to a new model that led to Hudy and roughly 40 other employees working for the newly formed Kansas Team Health, a joint venture that includes the KU athletic department, The University of Kansas Health System and LMH Health in Lawrence. Who is surprised that a Kansas public organization hosed around with health care and caused their employees to move out of the state? Imagine having a health care situation so bad that moving to Texas would be superior.

Austin is one of the best towns in the country but that's not why she's leaving. It's absolutely the health situation. New organization means that the S/C coach has to answer to a medical group instead of coaches. And while Austin > Lawrence in just about every conceivable way, the basketball program at Texas is absolutely inferior.

So I'm unclear on that story. Is the issue that her healthcare plan got hosed with or that she doesn't want to report to doctors?

I think it’s the latter, instead of athletic medicine being its own autonomous department within the KU athletic department, now it’s folded into a whole ‘nother layer of bullshit

I think it's that she doesn't want to report to the doctors. I mean, S&C being part of the health org doesn't really make sense. Putting the nutritionists and whatnot under would, but S&C is like an extra coach, and would have to report to the existing coach anyway...

kayakyakr posted:I think it's that she doesn't want to report to the doctors. The problem is this: it's becoming increasingly a concern that athletes or training staff are pushing "back on the field" as opposed to "proper recovery". We saw this with the NBA the last couple of years: Kawhi Leonard demanded a trade off the Spurs because of this. Kevin Durant likely tore his Achilles because of this. Klay Thompson? Went back in on a torn ACL (but came out after he took his free throws). There's NHL players that play through ligament tears in the playoffs ~because it's the cup~. See also: the Mets. Now whether or not that's on the player or the staff generally comes down to individual cases, but involving doctors in the strength and conditioning I feel can help curb this practice. In the NCAA, it's probably worse than the pros by virtue of limited eligibility on the athlete's parts though.

I guess I don't really understand what the big deal is if you're working in what is essentially a sports medicine position and needing to consult with...doctors. Seems like a good way to keep these unpaid athletes healthier and less exploited by coaches (not as bad in basketball as football).

it only makes sense if instead of doctors it’s actually a review board that has to approve every financial and health decision that you’re making in every instance, which, if you’re a fairly autonomous s&c coach is probably extremely irritating

VT hosting top 40 PF Henry Coleman this weekend. Had his OV to Duke last weekend, entire VT staff was in last night to see him in-home. Won't be taking more than one more OV after this one. Smart money's on Duke, but desperately hoping we can snag him away, especially since he's in-state and his dad was a football star playing for Frank Beamer. If we managed to, our 3-player class would briefly be #1 in the country, which is just confusing.

Tennessee will have a 2020 class of two 5-stars and a 4-star if Jaden Springer chooses the Vols over Michigan and Memphis. Tennessee is trending for him and will likely pick him up. That’s an insane haul for UT basketball.

 One of Tech's best all-time players (in our admittedly quite mediocre history), Andre Emmett, was shot last night somewhere in Dallas. He was Tech's star player during my time in college, so it makes me sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sYb-YpP1-w
