There was a coach in my high school, many, many years ago, who once told us that the inability to fall and role contributed to many injuries. He wasn’t the brightest bulb on the chandelier so I have no idea how applicable this notion might be. Among other things, I don’t think it accounts for the stitches in my upper lip acquired as the result of an elbow to the face during a rebound. :smile:

While we wait for Chance Mallory to make a move, a project big we may be should look at? Even Duke is sniffing around. (rising in the rankings but still a little raw)

Holy 2nd coming of Kadin. And from the same aau program as Mr. Funny Story Sr.

I assume this means Mallory is announcing tomorrow

Is there a pact nobody told me about to just be real quiet until there’s an update?

Hot take: Mallory becomes the first UVA athlete to make $1M in NIL in a year by his sophomore season. If he’s as productive as I imagine he’ll be, with his local ties, he will rolling in it.

You mean none of the stars of @BDragon’s favorite swim team haven’t hit the 7 figure threshold yet?!

What’s likely timing? Early afternoon-ish? Should I just reload and make silly posts until then?

I don’t know that its a pact or anything, but things do usually quiet down briefly during the gap between when its established that “something is about to happen” and “the actual moment when the something happens”.

Someone more learned in sociology than I could probably explain the “why”. Not wanting to jinx it? Not wanting to spoil the remnant of the surprise for the kid? Just savoring the fun moment of expectation?

He’s probably not going to do it in the middle of the school day, the teachers are unimpressed with his looming commitment and still expect him to turn in his homework.

Edit - Obviously, silly posts are always appropriate.

An epic commitment would be to get a bathroom pass, sneak your phone into the toilet stall and whisper your commitment on live stream in the middle of your 2nd block. I think that kid would be remembered even if he didn’t do anything significant on the basketball court.

Edit: We could call it the Blair Witch commitment method.

Nor should they. Swimming is not a sport it’s called survival. Congratulations you can do the thing that every dog and cat does on instinct.

I’m not paying you $1mil to be moderately famous every 4 years. If you’re Michael Phelps or Ledecky level then I’ll talk to you. Til then you’re just a bunch of John Sally’s

Taking this in a different direction. Swimming is not a sport, it’s a leisure time activity. If you asked a work buddy what he’s doing this weekend and he said “playing hoops”, you might assume he will be part of a team and some sort of score will be kept. If that work buddy said “swimming”, you’d probably assume an inner tube, a few cold ones, some tomfoolery, maybe a cannonball or two. You probably wouldn’t imagine him in a bathing cap racing other people doing the sidestroke or whatever.

That’s because swimming is a leisure time activity.

I’d say that’s been the case more often than not over the last ~30 years.
