UK's Isaiah Briscoe and UL's Donovan Mitchell Beefing.

Dr Lee Todd initiated many remedial programs to combat illiteracy and innumeracy so prevalent among current students

But that doesn't help University of Louisville grads or current students any...

Jeez, Briscoe seems like a friggin' idiot. Kid doesn't know what an adjective is, and is dumb enough to admit on camera.

It seems like you are having a bad day. Want a cookie buttercup?

My niece is about to graduate HS and I'm flabbergasted at how little she knows. It's pretty embarrassing, but typical of the educational system these days. Not just HS either. I took adult education classes at night and online when I was in the AF, and the level of instruction is lowest common denominator stuff.

I love Briscoe's game...can't wait for him to get here; adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns notwithstanding

Hope he's good as Boogie at talking trash, remembering the Mississippi game where he told the fans to call him, think he got his tooth chipped in that game also, classic trash talking

In some urban areas venacular has evolved to a point where adjectives are no longer used. Nouns are next.

I hope he's joking when he asked "what's a adjective?". Yikes

I guess he should have committed to UNC.

What's an adjective? Yikes x 2.

I'm willing to bet that 90% of the people here can't deconstruct the basic sentence structure to the English language.

Simple things that come naturally to us are easily overlooked.

Your post triggered an episode of PTSD from diagramming sentences in middle school.

I agree with this.


Also less worried about a player who will be making millions in some country playing ball for a living than some of the college grads I've seen who still can't write. Or people with degrees like gender studies that cost 40k a year and prepare you to do nothing of any value to anybody.
