He is not as talented as some of you think. NFL agrees. The "me,me" attitude doesn't go well in a job interview. College was his job interview

After a morning of planting tomatoes, and almost overheating (at my age thats a lot easier to do than I thought) I came in to rest and re-hydrate. I got on utube and watched video of Kessler for probably an hour. I honestly didn't know he was that good. I saw UNC play some last season and when he came in, he looked out of place and frankly, overhyped. The video that I saw this morning says otherwise. There is a pretty long vid of him going against Jabari Smith in high school and its just, hot damn awesome. Those two put on a show in that game. I watched videos of Kessler in his late season games where he got more playing time and he looked a total opposite of the games that I saw him play live. He is much more agile than I thought. J. Smith will only be here one year because he is something special and I am very quickly taking that position with Kessler. 3 days ago I didn't give a s*** where Kessler went because I was of the mind that he was an overhyped attention *****. I stand corrected on at least one of those. He ain't overhyped. He might like all the attention but thats okay by me after watching these videos. The little PG Green? That guy is going to be special,too. I think BP stole one right there. I see a little bit of Cooper and Harper in him. Give us one more SG and we are set up nicely. Hooks has insinuated that Thor is not coming back, so that is a bit of a downer there. Hooks is wrong on occasion, but not often. It would be nice if this is one of those times

I watched a few videos early this morning while trying to adjust to the time change, and the guy from Northeastern that is in the portal,Tyson Walker, looks like he could play in the SEC for about anybody. To me, he looks like a guard that should be the one to make say "no" several times before giving up. Again, nobody puts out bad highlights, but he looks better than the C of C guard

Its 24/7 stuff. Not sure that I can post it here. Go to their website if you have a subscription

This guy,Wesley Cardet, is listed as a target. Every players highlights are going to look good, but I wondering about this guy. He looks like he has a lot of potential. Look at those arms

The interview Powell gave makes no sense, unless you read the last paragraph real close. It was conducted by Travis Branham, and it says virtually nothing useful until that last paragraph. Its 24/7 material so I won't post it verbatim, but seems like he might not like the team concept too much. Maybe I'm reaching, but if him and daddy didn't like AU basketball being bigger than them, so be it. I'm now interested in BP offering the 5* RB, Henderson a BB schollie. Is he that good?

M Murphy says that he thinks that this link will allow you to watch J. Smith today at 1:30 . I'll keep check on it https://www.gpb.org/television/live This website shows it but it says its off air.

At the time, none of us knew Mitchell had been tampered with by the HC at Baylor. Being unhappy and hunting a new place? Okay, "goodbye" and who cares. Tampered with? Entirely different situation. Rules matter and right and wrong according to the rules, do matter

Its not me, its what I'm reading from others. I only have suspicions based on circumstantial evidence, adding up what I read and hear. I suspect that Powell will not be missed when we find out the truth

See, thats the biggest problem. On this forum, I know that you and WDE are "money" and what you guys write will be pretty close to being on point. Ya'll have proven that what you say can be trusted. Golf,BB and RIR are pretty spot on,also. On 24/7, I just don't know them well enough. Dude that calls himself "LocalTiger" seems to be respected. The guys like King,Neibur,Murphy, etc are obvious but they are so careful and guarded with what they say, I usually find out on AUF before they write about it. I just want to know the truth. Did his daddy sell to the highest bidder? Was there tampering? If this is based solely on a medical issue then I wish them well and hope he gets on his feet. If there were nefarious dealings that went on, then **** you! I just can't shake King and Murphy's attitude of,"its best for both parties" and "5 schools in 6 years" comments. There is Hooks45's LACK of a comment that is puzzling,also. How did UK fans know about the transfer before anyone at AU? You can explain it away by reaching and grasping, but those UK fans were fans just like us,average fans with few or no connections. A free forum called "Rupps Rafters"....I read the comments myself

Interesting post on 24/7. Poster says he heard the staff didn't have a problem with him leaving

TT, nobody is doubting that part and all will agree with you 100%...Its evident that much more went on,now. Exactly "what" is the question. A caller on " The Drive" with Bill Cameron called in on Monday and said that everybody was being much too compassionate toward this kid. He didn't elaborate, but he was not a caller that I recognized and I listen almost every day. Then I see a couple of posts on 24/7 about a fight. I read on Rupps Rafters over 2 weeks ago about Powell transferring. I did not pay attention to it as I had not heard or read a thing on any AU site about it, other than ONE POST on 24/7 a while ago that said Powells career at AU was over. Again, I didn't take it seriously. Now, its all adding up to be more than just a "I love my baby" type thing. Powell will have played at 5 different schools in the last 6 years, and I didn't know that either. If you sniff the air and catch a whiff of a skunk, ain't much doubt that a skunk is close by and it will look like John Calipari

Nathan King said that JP was a good kid, but used the "5 in 6" comment,also. He probably is a good kid, but that doesn't mean that his family is

MM has made the reference several times to "5 schools in 6 years"......I have been suspicious of this since the news broke of the transfer and UK is and has always been the basketball version of updyke U. This many moves means that either Powell and family keep getting paid or he is a mama's boy and has to have his way or he'll take his ball and go home. I have only read various posters on 24/7, but one with a good rep, adamantly says that the fractured skull came from a fight. Look, I don't know, but there is so much skewed about this story that something is going on,or went on. I figure that JGT will be the first to confirm the truth, since 24/7 is going to be factual before they publish anything. I regret making Powell my favorite player now. I'll wait but it'll probably be Cardwell or Thor now
