COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS PREVIEW 2020: WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS OFFENSE 3 THINGS TO KNOW – It was supposed to be a bit of a rebuilding year for the program overall– with a whole new set of starters for a new coaching staff – but it’s West Virginia. It’s not supposed to rank dead last in the Big 12 in total and scoring offense. Having the nation’s third-worst running game is one thing, but not being able to move the ball at all for long stretches is another. But again, it was a rebuilding run. The quarterbacks are good, and they should be better. Former Oklahoma transfer Austin Kendall had a legitimate shot at taking the Sooner gig a few years ago before Kyler Murray went Kyler Murray, but he struggled last season with 1,989 passing yards and 12 touchdowns with ten picks before suffering a chest injury. Former Bowling Green starter Jarret Doege stepped in and was a bit sharper. Now they have to do more down the field. CFN in 60 Video: West Virginia Mountaineers Preview – The receiving corps gets a pass –it was really, really young, with three freshmen and two sophomores among the top seven targets. Just about everyone of note is back. Sophomore Sam James is a speedy target on the outside, but he averaged just 9.8 yards per grab on his team-high 69 catches. 6-2 TJ Simmons is a bigger receiver who finished second with 35 catches, but a deep threat has to emerge in place of the one big loss, George Campbell, who averaged close to 25 yards per catch with a team-high seven scores. – The offensive linedid an okay job in pass protection,but it struggled mightily to generate even the slightest push for the ground game. Three starters are gone, hurt most by the loss of now-San Francisco 49er Colton McKivitz at left tackle. Two starters return, led by senior guard/center Chase Behrndt, for a line with decent size, but without a whole ton of bulk. Losing guard Josh Sills to Oklahoma State doesn’t help. Leading runner Leddie Brown only rushed for 367 yards and a touchdown, and Kennedy McKoy is done, and Martell Pettaway left for Middle Tennessee. Brown is a good-sized back who can catch – he’s fine if the blocking gets the job done – and Alec Sinkfield adds a little flash.

J2 vippassana

Pour cette premiere nuit sur mon lit en bois, jai plutot pas trop mal dormi (rien ne vaut un bon Malm mais bon!). Sortie de la chambre a 6h, petit chocolat à l'eau pour se reveiller, pas le temps de le finir, le gong resonne. Cest lheure de faire les offrandes de riz cuit aux moines. On se mets tous en ligne a genoux, les moines passent avec leur sorte de saut en metal gravé et nous leur donnons a chacun une boulette de riz. Une fois fini nous gardons notre assiette et faisons deux files. Je me mets dans une file et avec une autre fille on nous dis daller dans lautre car elle est reservée aux hommes! Puis comme il y a plus de femmes que dhommes, on nous propose de nous mettre derriere les hommes. [Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce nest pas mixte, ca m'agace, je le vis comme une injustice] Aujourdhui cest: riz, courgettes et quelques ingredients que je ne reconnais pas. Une fois le repas termine cest meditation assise (15m env) puis marchée (45m env) puis assise (25min env). La meditation marchee jaime bien parce que ca ne fait pas mal au dos ou aux genoux, on est pas statiques. Alors jessaie de prendre le rhytme, on marche tres lentement. 1pas: je respire et je pense "Bhuu". 2eme pas: j'expire et je pense "dhooo".  [Et rholala que le lieu est beau!! On passe dans des caves creusees le long de la montagne. La terre est rouge. Lherbe est bien verte. Tout est splendide] Cest pas facile, je me melange parfois mais je me concentre plus facilement ainsi. Puis la meditation assise se passe tres bien egalement à tel point que je nai pas vu le temps passer. Maintenant nous apportons des plats aux moines pour accompagner leur riz. On est a genoux et on souleve le plat vers le moine avant de lui poser aux pieds et laisser la place aux suivants. [Jai tjs un peu de mal, je ne sais pas qui ils sont dans la hierarchie et me mettre devant eux a genoux en baissant les yeux me mets mal a laise, ca me donne limpression detre une sous personne] Il est 10h45, nous passons a table pour le dejeuner (et dernier repas de la journee). Cest le meme plat que ce matin avec en plus dautres legumes (chou fleur), de la salade verte et de la coriandre, mais aussi quelques fruits. Malheureusement en moitié de file il ny a deja plus de fruits. [On accepte, et demain peut etre que le premier finira dernier et se rendra compte quil faut partager un plus (enfin pas les hommes evidemment...)]. Je mange doucement, jai tout mon temps, la prochaine meditation est a 12h45. Comme jai du temps je retourne a ma chambre et me repose. Ce fut alors la sieste la plus agreable et reposante que jai pu vivre. Regain denergie, il est lheure pour 2h30 de meditation marchée, allongée et assise. S'en suit du nettoyage du monastere. Je prends un balais et je ramasse les feuilles. Je balaye le chemin que nous emprunterons demain pour notre marche. [Tu vois l'image?! Je balaye et de nouvelles feuilles tombent... tous les jours il faut balayer, pas tjs au mee endroit, mais si tu ne nettoies pas alors ca saccumule... l'esprit cest pareil. Et cest une maniere de montrer du respect aux autres mais aussi à soi-meme] Pendant lheure libre 17h-18h, je ne peux mempecher de grignoter quelques noix de cajoux et de macadamia que jai acheté avant de venir. J'ai faim... j'essaie de me retenir mais bon... au moins jai pas fini le paquet! La preuve, il men reste pour encore plus du double! 18h, derniere meditation, super dur de me concentrer, jai mal aux articulations, jarrete pas de remuer en plus je me suis fais pique par une fourmis et du coup ca gratte! 1h de chant et 30min de meditation assise sans lumiere, 1 dernier chant et hop on range tout et tout le monde se separe pour aller chez soi. [Ce soir je n'ai pas reussi mais.... Malgre la douleur, malgre les piqures, malgré les cris des enfants ou le bruit des scies, il faut les accepter, et alors ca ne prends plus aucune importance dans lesprit, ca ne prends plus de place ni de pensees desagreables. Une fois acceptee, on peut passer a autre chose, et se concentrer sur l'important: soi]

NBA Mock Draft 2017

NBA FINAL MOCK DRAFT 2017

Trevon Cheatham

1)Philadelphia 76ers

Markelle Fultz

Other Potential Draftees:

None

Why? Can play with the ball in his hands, or off the ball. Perfect compliment to the Ben Simmons experience that the 76ers fans and people who've never questioned #TheProcess have been waiting to see.

2)Los Angeles Lakers

Lonzo Ball

Other Potential Draftees:

De'Aaron Fox

Why? "Lonzo Ball will be drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers" and that's the bottom line because Triple BS is here to stand because LAVAR BALL SAID SO. It's also a great fit because of his playmaking and pass first mentality, in which coach Luke Walton is all for.

3)Boston Celtic

Jayson Tatum

Other Potential Draftees:

Josh Jackson, Jonathan Isaac

Why? The Celtics drafted Jaylen Brown last year and drafting Josh Jackson would be a little repetitive. Jayson Tatum can come in and score 12-15 as a rookie and take some of the scoring load off the 5'9 IT.

 4)Phoenix Suns

Josh Jackson

Other Potential Draftees:

De'Aaron Fox, Dennis Smith Jr.

Why? Perfect fit alongside Devin Booker & Chriss. TJ Warren and Josh Jackson can switch offense for defense and would work together in small ball lineups.

5)Sacramento Kings

De'Aaron Fox

Other Potential Draftees:

Josh Jackson, Jayson Tatum

Why? Everything points to this kid being a star in this league. Well almost everything. His jumper still needs work (try telling that to Lonzo Ball) but should come along with more gym time. Mike Conley at worst, John Wall at best only the Kings can mess this one up if he fell in their lap.

6)Orlando Magic

Jonathan Isaac

Other Potential Draftees:

Dennis Smith Jr, Lauri Markkanen

Why? Greek Freak. Thon Maker. Those names alone are the reason why the Orlando Magic call Isaac's name if still on the board under new GM John Hammond. Tall, lanky, athletic. Check. Check. Check.

7)Minnesota Timberwolves

Lauri Markkanen

Other Potential Draftees:

Jonathan Isaac, Malik Monk

Why? If I had to predict the first trade of the draft it would be in this slot. Thibbs is known for his defense but the best players at this pick are not his preference. Monk & Markkanen will bring offense to the table right away, but that's not exactly the problem with the Wolves. If they stand though I guess you can't go wrong with either one.

8)New York Knicks

Frank Ntilikina

Other Potential Draftees:

Malik Monk, Dennis Smith Jr.

Why? Because stars who break out for a career high 6 made field goals in the playoffs (overseas) are rare finds in the draft you know. Phil Jackson is stubborn about forcing the Knicks to play the triangle, and this guy is tall and can play defense overseas apparently. Knicks fans should be hoping the Mavericks leap frog their team so the Knicks can draft a superior talent in Dennis Smith Jr. 　

9)Dallas Mavericks

Dennis Smith Jr.

Other Potential Draftees:

Frank Ntilikina, Lauri Markkanen

Why? Yogi Ferrell, Seth Curry just ain't it. Role players at the point will only get you so far in today's NBA. Mavericks will get the steal of the draft if Smith Jr falls into their lap at 9. Rick Carslisle is one of the most underrated coaches in the league and will get everything out of this kid.

10)Sacramento Kings

Zach Collins

Other Potential Draftees:

Malik Monk, Harry Giles, Justin Jackson

Why? Best big available. Malik Monk might be too redundant to Buddy Hield to draft even with his Kentucky ties with #5 pick De'Aaron Fox. In only 17 minutes per game you Zach Collins revealed he is everything an big man needs to be in today's NBA.

11)Charlotte Hornets

Malik Monk

Other Potential Draftees:

Luke Kennard, Donovan Mitchell

Why? Every time MKG shoots a jumper a tear flows from Chuck Hayes free throws technique. Malik Monk is instant offense. Would work well with Kemba & Batum facilitating and providing him with good looks to make up for his so-so ball handling skills.

12)Detroit Pistons

Donovan Mitchell

Other Potential Draftees:

Luke Kennard, John Collins

Why? Ish Smith is a career backup, yet he started plenty of games last season for the Pistons while Reggie Jackson struggled to return to form after his surgery. Mitchell at worse is a capable defender, whom improved his outside shooting and has a chance at developing into a quality starter down the road.

13)Denver Nuggets

John Collins

Other Potential Draftees:

Bam Adebayo, Harry Giles

Why? The Nuggets need to find a athletic big to run along with Nikola Jokic. Collins judging from the workouts look the part of a finisher with the potential to spread the court, and protect the rim.

14)Miami Heat

TJ Leaf

Other Potential Draftees:

Justin Jackson, Harry Giles

Why? Defense is a question mark so putting him with one of the best defensive centers only makes sense. Luke Babbitt received plenty of playing time for the Heat last year and Leaf can easily replace him.

15)Portland Trailblazers

Bam Adebayo

Other Potential Draftees:

Harry Giles, Justin Jackson

Why? Ed Davis and Noah Vonleh are solid but aren't getting any better. Bam didn't get to show off too much in his lone year in Lexington but future may be brigther than Coach Cal may have let loose.

16)Chicago Bulls

Luke Kennard

Other Potential Draftees:

Josh Jackson, Terrance Ferguson, Jarret Allen

Why? Jimmy Butler, D.Wade & Rondo need space. Kennard may be the best shooter in this draft and the Bulls need to give into Fred Hoiberg's system and help him spread the floor.

17) Milwaukee Bucks

Harry Giles

Other Potential Draftees:

Bam Adebayo, Justin Patton

Why? Bucks have had success shooting for the stars and the moon in recent drafts and they will hope to strike again. Knee surgeries and lack of production drops Giles out of the lottery, but was one of the top prospects coming out of high school.

18)Indiana Pacers

Justin Jackson

Other Potential Draftees:

Tyler London, Terrance Ferguson

Why? Somebody is going to have to score the ball when PG13 packs his bags and heads home, or wherever he ends up before he goes home.

19)Atlanta Hawks

Justin Patton

Other Potential Draftees:

O.G Anunoby, Terrance Ferguson

Why? They let go of Dwight Howard and Paul Milsap is likely next to go. Somebody is going to need to occupy those minutes.

20)Portland Trailblazers

Isaiah Hartenstein

Other Potential Draftees:

Kyle Kuzma, Justin Patton

Why? With three draft picks in the first round the Trailblazers are likely to spend one on a player they can stash and bring over in a couple years.

21)Oklahoma City Thunder

Terrance Ferguson

Other Potential Draftees:

Justin Jackson, Harry Giles

Why? Opted to play in Australia rather than going to college and struggled. Still was highly touted coming out of high school and the Thunder hope he can regain his shooting stroke and grow into the running mate MVP Westbrook needs.

22)Brooklyn Nets

DJ Wilson

Other Potential Draftees:

O.G Anunoby, Tony Bradley

Why? Brooklyn will be paying 9 million for Trevor Booker again this year, a player who is solid but doesn't thread the needle. In DJ Wilson Nets hope to find his replacement and a player who can develop into a high end role player.

23)Toronto Raptors

Jonah Bolden

Other Potential Draftees:

Tony Bradley, Tyler London

Why? Patrick Patterson and Serge Ibaka are both free agents, and Masai Uijiri isn't afraid to take a flyer on a prospect who may turn out to be the next Greek Freak, but more than likely to be the next Bruno Caboclo.

24)Utah Jazz

Jarrett Allen

Other Potential Draftees:

Kyle Kuzma, Jawaun Evans

Why? Derrick Favors is a free agent, and his athleticism seems to be on the way. Finding a cheap replacement who can spell the Stifel Tower for short minutes should be answer here.

25)Orlando Magic

Frank Jackson

Other Potential Draftees:

Jonah Bolden, Tyler London

Why? Magic passed on drafting a PG with their sixth pick so look for them to pick up one here with their second first round pick.

26)Portland Trailblazers

Tyler London

Other Potential Draftees:

Derrick White, Tony Bradley

Why? Blazers need more shooting from their front court. Mo Harkless & Aminu are not that. Blazers draft Tyler hoping he can develop into a low ceiling Chandler Parsons.

27)Los Angeles Lakers

Derrick White

Other Potential Draftees:

Ivan Rabb, Ike Anigbogu

Why? With Nick Young and D'Angelo both on their way out the Lakers need to find players to fill out their guard rotation. A senior who can do more than one thing is a good way to start.

28)Los Angeles Lakers

Jordan Bell

Other Potential Draftees:

Josh Hart, Wesley Iwundu

  Why? Tarik Black has done all he can to prove he's a NBA player, but now it's time to find his replacement. There's no question what Jordan Bell's role will be.. defense and rebounding. Another local kid, and if all things fail you can at least say Magic has made a couple So Cal natives dream come true.

29)San Antonio Spurs

Josh Hart

Other Potential Draftees:

Derrick White, Wesley Iwundu

Why? Danny Green on the trading block with his replacement on the way. Everything about Josh Hart game, demeanor screams Spurs player. Or they will draft a player no one ever heard of, stash him, and wait for him to be the perfect system player.

 30)Utah Jazz

Kyle Kuzma

Other Potential Draftees:

Frank Mason, Semi Ojeleye

Why? Gordon Hayward and Joe Ingles are both free agents and the Jazz may be on the lookout for a potential replacement.

Burning Forests

  after TJ Jarrett

 When the smoke reaches the moon she’ll ask: what 

is the emergency? Don’t expect her to thank you.

 She never needed it.  Or is that what you prefer—

to be in the dark again, because it’s like falling

in love? To reach for the hand nearest to you,

with no choice but to trust? I will lend you 

my radiance

like the sun, offering shine

 There are too many 

to fuse anyway, too much

to just be keeping inside.

[signalspells]

Maybe this is more appropriate for Easter with the death and all, but the religious theme reminded me of the holidays and the rebirth/recovery of the New Year. Apologies for my finger in the picture the book wouldn't stay open to the page.
