Episode Five: “Inspiration is Overrated or The Elephant in the Room pt.2”





Basketball was a game with a soul.

It had rhythm like a heartbeat. Don’t believe me? Turn on a game and put it on mute, then turn on some music—watch the ball. See how it keeps the beat with the music ...

Re: Céline Sharpe

A tough February led into an extremely tough March and I apologize again for the delay. But, after some waiting, we’re here for round 3! You know the deal at this point, everything is said with the goal and intent of making Celine the best that she can be, I may say things in this review that I didn ...

Fall ‘22




Episode Four: “Failure Has Many Fathers and I Have Mine”




Daddy issues aren’t rare. Even Jesus had beef with God. ‘Motherfucker, why have you forsaken me?’—that was how the scripture went, wasn’t it?

In that respect, the Hoods were luckier than most.

Donald ‘Don’ Hood sauntered ...

Re: Céline Sharpe

Hey L! Firstly, I’d like to thank you for your patience and apologize for the time it has taken me to get to this revision. I was dealing with back-to-back family health emergencies and it demanded a lot of my emotional bandwidth and attention. Not an excuse, just an explanation. It is my sincere ...

Summer '22




Episode Three: “The Legend of Rico, The Pink Pony”




It was an endangered species of Americana. A whisper and a myth, slain again and again, with each stab and slash from the ticking clock. Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, Davy Crockett, Annie Oakley, the Headless Horseman—the ...

Re: Céline Sharpe

Hey L! My name is Chad/Buko and I will be the one taking a look at Céline for pre-game registration! You’ve been through this a few times before but I still like to start all my critiques with a little song and dance—so let me dance. The profile process is just that, a process. It may take multiple ...

Spring ‘19



Episode Two: “Inspiration is Overrated or The Elephant in the Room pt.1” [/size]



Spring was for ball. Everybody knew it, from the biggest, meanest center in the NBA to the smallest, scrappiest child at the Y. March was for madness; spring belonged to the hoopers and the shooters ...

Content looks good, it's passed through Microsoft Word's Grammar and Spell Check and I can't notice anything worth holding you back for.

Welcome to V9. Have fun!

Re: Kate Juhasz

Hey Salic! My name is Chad/Buko and I will be the one critiquing Kate today! I do like to begin all my critiques with a little schpeal saying that the profile process is just that—a process. I may say stuff in later rounds that I do not bring up in this round. It is not to gatekeep or create hoops ...

Charlotte's Basketball

Summer ‘17 [/i]

Episode One: “Failure Has Many Fathers, but You Only Get One Mom.” [/SIZE]



Charlotte raised the big, bright, pink-and-purple Spalding Street basketball to eye-level and took a deep pensive breath. The key here was confidence, certainty, and conviction. She could only push with ...

Re: Charlotte Hood

We talked through a lot of the edits on Discord through DM and I appreciate again your patience, grace and professionalism. My Word Processor actually has 135lbs as the grammatically correct version of how to list that, blame Bill Gates and Microsoft. Either way, I went with your version as google ...

Re: Amber Barnes

Overall, we’re looking much better. The new paragraph looks fine to me content wise, but it also looks like it could use a little bit of refinement and rewriting in comparison to the rest of the profile. We’re running into a bit of the old issues of too long sentences and some simple typos ...

Re: Amber Barnes

Hey Pip! Amber is looking better, but there is still some refinements and little mistakes that need to be fixed. It’s mostly grammar this go-round and I think we’ve ironed out a lot of the narrative issues from last time. I am not really a grammar person myself and so my quick advice is to put this ...
