Good story on Marcedus Leech's return to the court

Agree, he's much more skilled with the ball and explosive. The only similarity I see is their outside shooting.
Jok didn’t get ranked in the top-30 early on because he was a standstill shooter. Injuries and going to a poor program changed his game.
The storyline is comparable thus far. Hopefully Leech completely regains his earlier form and status as one of the best underclassmen.
Good story, I hope they are looking at both his legs regularly for stress fractures. Need to get him off of meat and dairy to minimize calcium being leeched from his bones. Hopefully nutritionists can help him strengthen his bones. Strength training will help.
If Leech can stay healthy, looks like a steal for ISU.

Not well known, but makes sense chemically. Meat and dairy require an acidic solution to be digested. Body doesn't want to be acidic so needs to neutralize the acid. Best source of acid neutralizing compounds available to the body is the calcium stored in bones.
That is why osteoporosis is not seen in countries where the diet includes little dairy or meat.
This is not information the meat and dairy industries want the general populace to know.
Ah yes.........the infamous "Cornell-Oxford-China nutrition project". Where they turn a bunch of Chinese into guinea pigs to advance the vegan cause. Don't think I would put too much stock into this or turn Mr. Leech into a vegan just because a hand full of pointy heads with an agenda says we should. I remember not long ago everyone was told that studies show if you eat eggs, you might as well be putting a gun to your head.
Yep. Further research says the calcium that is excreted is coming from the diet not the bones.

Marcedus Leech had 17 points tonight including a really nice dunk. (Not in video). All 17 were in the first half. Only shot it once in the second half. He’s a very willing passer and plays extremely unselfishly.
Here’s a few highlights.

Interesting, meat does require HCL to denature the proteins. But, does the calcium provided by milk not offset any potential calcium loss for digesting its proteins? This study indicates EXCESSIVE milk consumption (3-4 glasses/day) is the problem:

Well in this instance, both were 5 star recruits that got hurt and lost most interest from the blue bloods... so pretty easy to see why he's being brought up. As for calling him "Jok-strap", the guy was pretty damn good, and seems to be a pretty decent person. Aside from that, he's also been graduated for two years and you are still calling him that. Perhaps it's time to move on from the name calling.
