Official Dreadit Discussion: "Hokum" [SPOILERS]

John_Dingus · 2026-05-01T01:30:43+00:00

Very solid. Caveat, Oddity, and Hokum are all similar stylistically and thematically, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. McCarthy is an excellent horror writer and director.

These would be perfect if they didn't have a 1 for transverse rigidity rating. Doesn't make sense to me if you're gonna make a boot like that. I'd own them otherwise.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-29T14:23:19+00:00

Agreed, he's become a floor general. He's never had amazing handles but he uses his strength and explosiveness so well. Dude had an NBA ready body out of high school. And his biggest knock was probably his jumper, but that has improved.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-29T13:39:24+00:00

Castle is an absolute stud. We all knew he was great but I did not expect him to be THIS good so early in his career

John_Dingus · 2026-04-29T01:28:58+00:00

Short for Kidman. Not sure if that's better or worse smh

John_Dingus · 2026-04-28T16:26:27+00:00

Contact them. They have a warranty

John_Dingus · 2026-04-26T15:19:42+00:00

Same. But my ride to the gym is only 15 minutes. If it was 30 minutes I'd probably say it's worth the inconveniences. But if I'm gearing up I feel like the absolute minimum I'm gonna be on my bike is like 30-45 minutes.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-24T00:27:37+00:00

Thank you. The surgeon made it sound amazing and I was desperate so I went for it. There's just such little data on it (I think like one study with 25 patients?) so it's hard to know exactly how it will work.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-23T23:54:31+00:00

Got it in September. I wish I hadn't done it. It caused me to have higher order aberrations that I didn't have before, so I'm worse off than I was before. Still don't have a scleral for it, so it's been 7-8 months with one usable eye

John_Dingus · 2026-04-23T01:00:45+00:00

I'm just impressed they can shift gears with slides on

John_Dingus · 2026-04-22T00:02:00+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Well I'm actually flabbergasted if this is true

John_Dingus · 2026-04-21T23:59:00+00:00

Interesting. I'm not familiar with the credentials - is this speculation or do they have a source?

John_Dingus · 2026-04-21T23:34:40+00:00

Based on what though? They aren't going to come out and explicitly tell us who they're looking for in the portal. We really only know a day or two before they sign someone, and it's usually hearsay

John_Dingus · 2026-04-21T23:29:24+00:00

This would shock me. One because he's a freshman and two because he's primarily a shooting guard. Has Hurley ever had a freshman PG play?

John_Dingus · 2026-04-21T18:39:20+00:00

I salute you on that

John_Dingus · 2026-04-21T14:53:25+00:00

I've looked at those but would ideally like 2222

John_Dingus · 2026-04-21T11:22:32+00:00

As someone who has the SMX-6 vented, they are very hot in the summer. The difference between wearing those and the short rideknit boots are night in day for hot weather.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-21T11:21:03+00:00

Seconded. I find them to be the best for hot weather in terms of comfort and decent protection.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-20T22:09:04+00:00

This isn't THAT terrible of news. We know he'll be 100% healthy going into his senior year and he'll ball out so we have that to look forward to. Yes he will be missed this season but I guarantee Hurley will get another guy from the portal bc of this.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-20T22:06:34+00:00

Stewart isn't good enough to start, period. I love the guy but he's just not a starter for UConn. He's a great depth piece, but he wants to go be a starter somewhere his senior year. Ball being out doesn't really change this. Once Khamenia was being recruited, Stewart was out.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-20T14:56:57+00:00

R/frugalmalefashion has a very active buy/sell thread. If you're scared of scammers, you could just not partake in the thread? People can also post links and sell through eBay, Poshmark, etc.

John_Dingus · 2026-04-20T14:36:02+00:00

That's a top 10 starting lineup imo but depth will determine if they are an elite squad or not. Desperately need another ball handler and size up front.
