meh, currie will get it done, he scored pretty large with Hill and the baseball team. My biggest concern is our donors ponying up for facilities.hopefully when you use the term "our donors" you are referring to yourself
Make sure to get a permit. Plumbing, electrical, and making it a sleeping quarters all require one. Other than that, I'd only put a bathroom in if you have a drain. If you have 2 drains, go ahead and put a shower in. Only put a bedroom in if you have a large enough window. You might actually want to consult an architect or a contractor and have them draw it out for you, unless you want tons of code issues (good luck selling a house with all of that going on).thing is if he's gonna pay someone to mud the drywall he might as well have them cut it and hang it too.
In terms of finishing it out, framing isn't hard. Drywalling is easy. Mudding the drywall isn't. Get 2'x2' peel and stick carpet squares for flooring if you can't find any really cheap stuff. How high is it to your joists? That will determine what type of ceiling you have. Don't get a ceiling lower than 7'-6". The higher the better.
Some good sources are the family handyman, and believe it or not, youtube. I found out how to build a shower pan on there.
Norah Jones. She's good, folks.coming to KC soon, imo.
measure your space. sketch your design. then read a bunch of stuff about framing. the guidelines you follow in framing are really straightforward, i.e. - how much space off the basement wall you need to be, how much space between 2x4sthen determine how much 2/4's you need and order them. go rent a nail gun and buy some safety equipment. it will take a while for you but it is a great way to get into the "home improvement" stuff.sd i think you would be able to frame it yourself, it's really not diffi's and you could figure it out. then hire a good contractor to drywall, electric, etc. framing though would be a good projy for you and misses sd.
Yeah, I think this is probably my best bet. Scared of doing it but worst case scenario I just hire someone to fix my mistakes.
Honestly it's hard to really screw this part up.
So, what do I do? Just go buy a bunch of boards and start hammering them to the wall or what?
That sucks..NCAA rule change forced the move. This wasn't the program's idea.
When you say "don't get ripped the way he does" are you referring to the two times Jeff remembered or are there more?ya, just those two times jmart is talking about, he's only been ripped twice. i'm sure there's a stat out there that proves it.
you're right, clemente = collinsLook, if the consensus here is that Denis has a good, not great, handle - cool. No shame in that. It's just not true, but believe what you want. It's a free country.
I just think it's irrelevant to the discussion (which is to prove Kitchen's an idiot). Clemente's style of play and decision making aren't hurting the team. Could he get better? Sure. Every player could. Singling Clemente out is stupid, and therefore, so is Kitchen.Dude no it didn't. He fell- he was cramped.
Dude, that happened twice to Sherron in the last minute of regulation vs. KSU.
lols
collins falls down all the time.
Dude no it didn't. He fell- he was cramped.Not a great handle at all. Gets ripped often in man-to-man.
Often? No he doesn't.
Not many ahead of him on this list. And very few primary ball handlers.
I commented on his handle, not ball security. To me, there are way too many times when he's dribbling over halfcourt when someone challenges him and takes the ball away. I've never seen that happen to elite point guards. Just an observation, nothing statistical to back it up. I think that's something, if he has any designs on playing professionally, he'll have to shore up big-time.
You have nothing statistical to back that assertion up, because it doesn't happen very often. If he was prone to giving up steals, he'd have a worse TORate.
Let me make this extremely simple for you, stat guy - twice this season, in games I've watched on television, Denis has had the ball stolen from him once he crossed midcourt or was about to cross midcourt. That's two more times than I've seen that happen to Kalin Lucas, Sherron Collins, etc. It has just stuck in my head. I'm not discounting your precious TORate, but that's not what I'm talking about at all.
Dude, that happened twice to Sherron in the last minute of regulation vs. KSU.
BTW, mixed in a tablespoon of BWW hot and a tablespoon of KC Masterpiece into a three egg ham/cheese spicy BBQ omelet. Amazing.wow, KC Masterpiece! who let you in on KC's best kept secret???
it certainly does but the pro-clemente contingent won't allow agreeI'm glad he isn't killing us statistically on D, but I'm comfortable in my personal assessment that he's a pretty poor defender.
Does my point stand, despite your gut feel that ignores statistics? Yes.
Is the stat you linked inherently flawed in that it doesn't take into account when Clems is subbed out, who he's subbed out for, and how the matchups on the court shift when he's in or out? Yes.
low BBIQ, terrible handles, ok vision, selfish.denis doesn't even have point guards skills though
explain
denis doesn't even have point guards skills thoughso you're saying we won't have a good point guard next year? really? why do we need a point guard? michigancat will tell you the billion reasons why true point guards are overrated. pullen and mcorebs will do fine.What are those things that we'll miss when he's gone?
a good PG? someone who when he gets hot can impact a game about as much as any player in the country?
combo guards are underrated, though. I wish every player had point guard skills, actually.

you must be thinking of new 'clams. i'm very not random, ask any of my good friends.you must have watched good will hunting last night. do you understand what the term "splitting hairs" means, will?It's very doubtful that whoever takes over primary ball handling duties next year will have a TORate as low as Denis.you're splitting hairs
The idea that a transition shot is the same as a turnover is stupid on it's face. Not many passes out of bounds have a 30%+ chance of granting 3 points to the team turning the ball over. Also, it's much harder to rebound a turnover.
I'll simplify.
Our guards will turn the ball over more next year.
Missed shots are better than turnovers.
Don't agree that the differences are unimportant, random townie at the bar.

intangibles? sounds like a SLTP to me.I think a good number of anti-powertards defend Denis because it's the cool thing to do over here.People take Denis for granted more than about any player I can remember. I think we'll be a very good team next year, but we will miss a lot of the things that Denis does. The people that say he won't be missed at all are the ones that are probably the silliness.
And let's be clear, much of the thought about Denis stems from an old school basketball philosophy, a SLTH philosophy even.
Is Clemente's game without error? Not at all. But I said it the other day; I'm betting Frank will always have a Clemente-type player (or Walker-type) that earns his trust and gets more freedom than anyone else. But these guys also set the mentality of the team and the way Frank wants the team to play; and I think having a Clemente or Walker type is just going to be part of any Frank Martin coached team.
What are those things that we'll miss when he's gone?
Also- Pullen today is a much better player than Denis ever will be. They aren't the same player, dumb comparo.
I like Denis.
I think we'll miss his speed in transition and his ability to score. Irving/Russell/whoever takes over the other guard spot won't be able to replace it.
That doesn't mean we won't be better though, b/c guys like McGruder, Kelly, Samuels will get better to and offset Denis production.
And then there is leadership, attitude, etc. but that's more an intangible thing and can be replaced, but you never know.
