Isaiah Stokes visiting 9/24

[Cyke]

Let's give this guy some Twitter love.

It appears they updated their composites within the last day. I don't know why his would have changed though

Scout and rivals both list him as a three star. Not sure who updated.

 

[srjclone]

3 star or 4 star, he is still the same guy I wanted a month ago. I couldn't care less about his ranking, as long as we get him.

Rivals.

That means you do care about his ranking since you used a double negative.

Means he cares so little that it is impossible for him to care less. Don't believe couldn't and less technically qualify as a double negative.

Agreed. "Less" is a comparative, not a negative. So the statement wasn't a double negative.

This makes me laugh. One of the rare times someone actually uses it correctly (as opposed to the often misused "could care less") and he gets called out.

It isn't not uncool to correct others grammar!

So... Visit news?

Isaiah,
We're not super best at grammar, but we like basketball more better than other teams.
Pick us now the most all good basketball to play in FocusTown. Water is terrific.
All the Best,
Ames.

Yeah, right.

Technically that's not quite right either. It just means he can't care less about it. He could care a little, could care a lot, or somewhere in between. "I care so much about this and I couldn't care less" is a grammatically and logically correct sentence. Really, the could care less vs. couldn't care less idiom police are more annoying than anything. Both phrases mean about the same thing, logically and grammatically speaking. If you really want to leave no doubt that you care very little about something, just say "I don't care."

He was in Monte's snapchat a couple minutes ago.

Well, you're just wrong in your interpretation of the English language.

That couldn't have felt good.

 

[CyValley]

Somebody must have some snaps of Isaiah today? If you got 'em, post 'em (please).

 

[CycloneErik]

Agreed. "Less" is a comparative, not a negative. So the statement wasn't a double negative.

Dear god, not another grammar fight

Dear god, not another grammar fight

You probably thought ANAL meant America Needs Another Lawyer, but it's really America Needs Antagonistic Linguists.

I had a high school teammate shatter two our senior year and he was a 6'3" guard. One in practice and one at our conference rival during the game to determine conference champion. They literally brought in a beat up steel backboard from the outside playground and we ended up losing the game because it was second half and we had to shoot at that the rest of the game.

I will say that watching Shaq rip the intact backboard to the ground and break the entire hoop assembly was awesome. You don't usually see that.

"In Jersey, Derrick Coleman dunked on me...so I said to myself, the next time we play Jersey, I'm going to rip the damn backboard off." - Shaq

How about Darryl Dawkins?​

 

[HoopsTournament]

I couldn't care less about this stupid argument about caring less or not.

Please return to the topic at hand.
