Title: Shaka Smart, Dominoes, & SotG
Post by: Skatastrophy on November 21, 2021, 12:38:41 PM: Have you noticed that Shaka has been naming the "Domino" of the game? Seems like the guys are buying into it.

Smart constantly preaches the importance of having a positive impact. The idea is that if a player does the right things, his attitude will have a domino effect carrying over to each of his teammates.

“Each and every person in this program is a domino,” Clemson transfer Olivier-Maxence Prosper said as he discussed Smart’s message. “You’re either a positive domino, which means you’re doing your best to help this team win. Or you’re a negative domino, which means you’re bringing the team down. We’re trying to eliminate the negative dominoes and have everybody be a positive domino.”

Time to rename SotG?

Going to his profile and reading his posts is quite entertaining. Here is my favorite:

And then you can be the other "I told you so" guy for telling us this!

I take time to categorize both the people and the tasks in my life like this. It helps me decide where I want to focus my energies in the long run, or at least be aware that I will have to tackle a draining activity/person that day to get my mind right for it. It has helped me a lot.

Who is this NIL, and is it too late to execute him or her?

I was really hoping for a Colin Robinson mention with the energy takers.
