I was worried at first when I heard that he had dropped out of HS. Now after reading that .. it all makes sense. It's amazing how much some contextual information can change a viewpoint.Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostComment

Great find RoyalShock I have been looking forward to hearing Ricky's story, Fred had a great back story but Ricky's is every bit, if not more, compelling. Won't be hard to root like hell for this young man.Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostComment

Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostHold up Ricky! *grabs the young man throwing him into a friendly headlock while tussling his hair*Against those odds, Torres persevered, transforming from a Pinellas Park High School dropout to one of the best junior college players in the country.
His courtship by several major Division I-A programs ended with his commitment to Wichita State.
"My life story is crazy," said Torres, an All-American at Missouri State-West Plains. "I felt like I've been working so long, just grinding every day. Now the payoff has finally come.
We're not allowed to use that kind of language at WSU - los lobos de Lawrence are watching...
Torres sounds like a good one!

If only there was a "To Catch a Predator" type show for college basketball where Chris Hansen posed as an Adidas rep luring college coaches in. I could see it now. Self pulling up saying "Hey, you got the brand new Audi and cash for....ahh sh*t, Chris Hansen."

I liked the sentence "After announcing his plans to become a Shocker, Torres did not take too much time to celebrate. He was back in the gym for two workouts that day."
For some the glass is half full and for others half empty. My glass is out of ice.

I've seen cuts from this on Twitter, but not the whole thing. A bunch of Ricky highlights from this long open gym vid. He gets scored on exactly once.
“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

I haven't been this excited for an incoming Shocker since... Erik Stevenson. Good God we are loaded!Originally posted by Wuzee View PostI've seen cuts from this on Twitter, but not the whole thing. A bunch of Ricky highlights from this long open gym vid. He gets scored on exactly once.
Ricky looks like what FVV and a slightly maimed Tekele would produce if they had a child.
The cupboard is totally full.
It's a great ****ing day to be a Shocker!
