Thanks guys! Also Bass how many spots do we have? That also puts us heavy on RBs this class someone is going to have to transfer I would assume......

Also, thanks CP wonder if that’s what we plan on doing is promoting from inside.

We’re gonna take 2, but if we can land the right 3, we’ll take three and count Velus Jones to the 2021 class. So if we can land Beckwith, Wideman, and Evans, that’s what we’ll do. But if only two, we’ll just take two and won’t borrow from 2021

Coming from a heavy civil construction guy, that video is either fake/staged, or the Chinese are idiots.

You don’t move mass amounts of earth with a bunch of excavators playing hot potato.

Those excavators would be loading dirt into dump trucks/off road trucks or more likely they’d be moving that dirt with scrapers and/or tractor and pans.

Really stupid video.

Also 0% chance they build a real true hospital (like what we have) in 10 days.

I have no background in anything like that and had the same exact thoughts.

It's also Chinese New Year and Damn near the whole country is shut down for a couple weeks. Very little work being done for almost a month.

I’ve never really discussed it, but I’m from the government (and I’m here to help). Sursly, I do work for a city government that is deploying license plate readers. They have one use and one use only: to identify stolen vehicles.

Relatedly, I’m about to start using Bluetooth readers in my traffic signals. It will identify major traffic movements to help me better coordinate and time signals. And it doesn’t just use the Bluetooth in your phone. It can read your tire pressure monitoring systems or anything else in your car. It only collects part of your unique Bluetooth code and tracks it through the system and then flushes the code after it turns you into just a car driving down the road. Neat stuff and I can’t wait to use it. But I’m not going to be the first. It’s getting deployed all over the state and is already in many cities. So here’s two examples of technology that can actually be used for good and not be just out to watch people. That is, unless you’re breaking the law.

I’ve seen this show before.

What I’m hearing out of China is disturbing beyond comprehension. cameras absolutely everywhere with facial recognition. They deduct points for anything that is disapproved if by the government and will even revoke your passport and imprison citizens over it. There are cameras in the millions now documenting every move

Wouldn't surprise me. Nothing has shocked me about how things operate there ever since I saw the Tank Man documentary in college and started reading more about all the covert things they do against their own citizens. Awkwardly was dating a 2nd gen Chinese girl at the time and she was unaware of much of it. Best friend for life is also 2nd gen Chinese. Great people, terrible power infrastructure and secrecy they live under though.

Not sure if still true, but I know Chinese internet used to completely block Tank Man from even being searched for. Some North Korea type shiz.

Did Velus not already enroll? Not certain, but saw we announced him. Hard to imagine he's gonna pay his own way, out of state no less. Would think that would be a tough selling point to a transfer.

But here's to hoping he does or anyone does. Somebody take one for the team 🗣

I have a question about official visits. Do the universities pay for them?

Oops. Never mind. The Google answered my question. Only my first cup of coffee.

Campus visits
During an official visit the college can pay for transportation to and from the college for the student-athlete, lodging and three meals per day for the student-athlete and his or her parents or guardians, as well as reasonable entertainment expenses including three tickets to a home sports event.
