Sometimes I think he might be a marketing genius.   Then they introduce a shoe with a $495 price tag.  Somehow I think Nike, UA, and Adidas might have figured out the ideal price point.  Seems to me something just under $100 would have been a much more lucrative position in the market.  But what the hell do I know?

But if it works, legitimate NBA stars could start making their own shoes and cutting out the Nike, Adidas, and Under Arrmour altogether.

These are just pre-orders.  It takes 6 months for them to make the shoes and ship them.   If for some reason, people actually buy these I could see them have issues with production, shipping, and filling orders.  I don't think they will have to worry about being overrun with orders though.

This dude gone mad

I haven't been as hard on him as most, because I thought there might be a method to his madness.  Now I think he's just "mad."

Proud of Leahy for providing him with a verbal b^tch slap.  She's even hotter now to me.  This dude needs a real slapping though...

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      I wasn't arguing the point of how an AD keeps his job. The question was "what has happened to Jasper" as in their whole athletic department. They were much much better in those other sports even when football was successful. Not anymore. Something definitely has changed.

      I just don't think it's as big an issue as what's being discussed. My opinion.
