Speaking of LSU, we have a kid that’s a high school senior. He’s been getting mail from LSU, but because the kid has good taste, that mail is ignored😉 Look what was received February 6 from LSU 🙄

West Point sent my son a nice looking “Invitation to start your Appointment Process” package yesterday. It detailed the steps he would need to take his Jr. year and then his Sr. year to secure an appointment to West Point.

They were only one year late in sending it.🤣

I’m sure there is something funny to be said there, but it is likely more appropriate for a different forum.

X-factor: Josiah-Jordan James

You gotta love those sneaky, under-the-radar McDonald’s All-Americans. Somehow, James fits the X-factor criteria, despite his former five-star status and the fact he’s played in 130 college games. He’s averaged a perfectly respectable nine points and six boards in his career, but James is always a threat to get rolling and remind everyone what all that hype was about. Like Saturday at Rupp Arena, when he punished Kentucky for zeroing in on Dalton Knecht by pouring in a career-high 26 points. James also had 23 and seven boards in a neutral-site win over NC State, 14 and six in a win at Wisconsin, 12 points, seven assists, six boards in a win over Illinois. Knecht might be SEC Player of the Year, Zakai Zeigler might be the SEC assist leader and Jonas Aidoo might be the best big man in the league not named Johni Broome, but James is sneaky important to these Vols. They’re 11-1 when he has at least eight points and five boards in a game — the only loss coming at No. 3 UNC. They’re just 5-4 when James — who scored eight points and didn’t miss a shot from the field in Wednesday’s 88-68 win over LSU — is held below five. “He is a huge part of this program,” Rick Barnes said after UT’s statement win in Lexington. “What we told our guys is we aren’t going to sit around and watch Dalton do it. We have too many good players.”
