I think I may be ready for D1 in a year or two because of my insane jumpshot and slowly improving athletic ability... i routinely destroy this 6'6 shooting guard who's a damn junior in HS (averaging about 32ppg on varsity, and i think his championship game is today) who plays for York Prep. I mean we have LITERALLLLLY played 1-on-1 about FIFTY (50) times and I have beat him. He's getting a shit loaod of D1 looks because he's young, tall, and has a HELL of a 3 point shot. He's just skinny and lanky right. But out of all the times we've played, I've beat him...

every.single.time.

EXCEPT For the very last time we played, in which i lost by two points. Like I mean my record against his is probably 62-1, NO EXAGGERATION. And I mean that I have literally WRECKED this kid like 16-4 and 11-1 and 21-6 everyyyy singllleee timeeeeeeeeeeeee we play because NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES he just cannot stop my jumpshot...

I'm a freshman in college right now at fordham university, but i swear i think i can make the team. I'm doing a 5 year program anyway so I have another 4 years left...

omg man.... i just regained a lot of my motivation for basketball..... i need to re-name my log to "Dreyth's Journey to Division I Basketball."

i swear i think i can make that team because they're mid-major and kinda suck anyway, and i'm 6'1 but my jumpshot has insane potential (i remember being like 15 and hitting dozens of 3's in a row in game with LITERALLY fingers touching my face)... i just need to be like that every single day, and not just on my "on fire" days.

I never woulda thought I'd be so motivated to play basketball again like this. I can't forget that I'm on a mission and basketball is my life.......

I'M WITH YOU ADARQUI.

nice, your hard work (as well as many others on this site) motivate me to achieve my goals, even if you do squat with your pants folded up (EEK!@!@$ lmao).

Lol man, i just HAD to show my stupid quad to hamstring ratio... i swear you can see my complete quad from behind me and its not even funny. People don't even know that my quads are pistons. They ask "dam how do u just that high?" and I just pull of my shorts a little and they freak out lol.

You think having the hamstring catch up will make a significant difference? I mean I'll try to have it catch up to prevent any imbalance injuries of any kind.

He should be re-directed to the emo thread whenever he clicks on this one.

lmao i have zero hamstrings and all quads/glutes and its due to squatting and not deadlifting, and my svj and rvj (both 1 foot and 2 feet) have massively improved since I dropped deadlifting.

It doesn't make sense for you to only have a 30 inch standing vert. I have a 28 and I'm squatting ~140-145 kg at the most.

Yeah what the hell... I was surprised. I need to re-test on a Wednesday or Friday (when I jump highest usually). I should be able to hang on the rim from a standstill, giving me like a 32" standing.

My goal is to be able to dunk 2 handed off a 100% standstill. Just measured my reach at 93" (7'9") in the middle of this post. Rim is 120" but lets say I have a 94" reach in shoes.

I need 26" to touch rim. 32" to dunk with one hand, or probably a 34" standing vert without the ball. My two hand reach is about 3-4" lower than my one hand reach. That means I need a 38" standing vert to dunk 2 handed from a standstill.

Well, currently my standing vert is about 30" but my running is 38" so that's a big difference. When I dunk 2 handed off a standstill, my running vert should be 46"

We should make one. Easier to keep in touch and stuff. And why not, anyway.

um, what about no calves??
justin darlington:


Now I feel like a longer flatter calf or something can stretch and rebound better and is better suited for jumping.

I got a 400... back in freshman or sophomore year it woulda been like a 500... I've never been more motivated in my entire life than I was in those years. If I could go back in time and watch myself train, I'd be in awe.
