Kadeem Jack is still out here on the RAC floor, running wind sprints by himself.
-Jerry Carino

Jack is such an enigma. desire to be great has always been there, flashes of talent are there, but like most RU players, no consistenncy ever sustained

picks up some dumb fouls which does not help.

True enigma. Jack didn't know what was best from his game i guess. Always works hard and i wish him the best. Just has to find consistency like you said.

Eddie made a post game comment one night...something like "Jack marches to his own drum"
I am sure a great young man but all the work he put into last year he seemed to take a wrong turn and not able to turn around...

He jogs back on transition defense, but runs wind sprints after the arena empties out? This little tidbit bothers me.

He seems like a really nice kid, but his lack of motor on defense & rebounding is a big net negative to our team. And yesterday he straight-up jogged back on an IU fast break that resulted in a dunk for the trailer. Hustle back & that play is contested.

There have been comments in the past that Jack was at the RAC late at night shooting.Unfortunately,come game time some players just don't step up and play to their potential.I still see Jack getting a contract to play overseas.

KJack was out there working on his game well into the night. As we were wrapping up with the CC around 10 PM he was working with his old HS coach on a variety of things.

He is an amazing student who I hope closes his college career out with a bang...

We are in your corner young man!

Well said!

Working with his HS coach? Maybe that is his problem, too many people in his ear, too much outside influence from his "inner circle"

By no means am I trying to disparage Kadeem, he is a loyal RU player and seems to be a great young man....just still baffled that he couldn't put it together this season

Mack and Jack I have a lot of respect for them.

Our next practice, I say forget running drills, sprints, plays, forget that. Simply give each player a ball with their name on it and say take a shot from everywhere on the court and just shoot for the entire practice. Name of the game, yes there are there other problems, but you gotta put the ball in the basket.

Does anyone know if I would see this thread at the top of my news feed if I had Atlantic files on ignore? Would the reply not exist therefore the thread would still be in 2015 where it belongs?

You spent time looking for a thread from 2015?

 

[ScarletDave]

Not sure if you were looking for a post specifically from me? Or just any post from someone 4 years ago saying that we need to shoot better, to prove a point that shooting has been and still is the main problem for our team? Anyway I’m flattered

I don't think anyone needs to search for an old article to know that we haven't shot well in years.

Guys, I saw the post before about someone resurfacing something from january so i tried be funny and go to the oldest post i could find that might be relevant so thats why i did it. No need to ignore me or get mad i was just messing around

 

[Dpgru]

Glad you resurrected this, I didn't know we didn't shoot well.

A grown man bothering to put another grown man on “ignore” on a website has to be one of the most infantile things I could possibly imagine.
