Recruiting Football Talk VII

[LaagerVol]

There's ADHD (hyperactivity component) and ADD. Screen life (pushed ads, pushed search results, and video games that reward quick response) will contribute immensely to its symptoms.

Back in the 90s my doctor gave me a test prescription for ritalin. I was amazed how much longer I could read without getting up and doing something. But I also found I wasn't nearly as productive in creativity-requiring activities.

As the old saying goes, a hunter with ADD thrives; a farmer with ADD starves.

Good info. Definite possibility I have ADD.

I see. I thought they were basically the same thing and sometimes people didn’t use the H in the acronym lol.

I stand corrected. Back when I was diagnosed (ADHD), they were still using both ADD and ADHD to differentiate whether you had the Hyperactive flavor or not lol. As of 1994, that is no longer the offically case but even 30 years later, most people still use it colloquially to separate them.

I never even considered it until my wife mentioned it last year. We ( i ) always associate ADD with hyperactive kids right? That wasn’t me. But she pointed out that I will have several projects going on around the house and rarely focus on one. It’s a possibility. My mind is all over the place a lot, which evidently isn’t normal lol

Oh and a sundrop at night is lights out. Never made that connection either

You’re referring to ADHD, much easier to spot.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Thanks @LaagerVol @BigOrange15 Funny, there are psychologists and psychiatrists I’ve known that still differentiate between the two.

Many of us, myself included, have ADD. Opinion: I actually think it’s possible all of us “have it” and it’s just to what degree that it makes it medically/clinically significant, kind of like you can have varying levels of mental challenges. Many do or at least can manage it through behavior adapting and coping. Most will go through life just fine (minus the spousal constructive criticism) without any formal diagnosis. Some who are far enough on that “spectrum” (not sure this is the right word here given it’s so often only used in reference to autism), and never have been able to develop those executive functioning skills enough, actually require medication to meet a desired level of performance when it comes to focus and organization. At the end of the day it’s a brain and chemical makeup thing, which is still an understudied and often misunderstood area.

The way Benadryl affects you is fascinating. I wasn’t aware that was something that some people processed differently.

Dude, you just monkey around all day, huh?

 

[Glitch]

Uh ok, thanks for adding to the conversation? I’m not sure what you added either but thanks

Something tells me that "official" change to a term that no longer distinguishes between the two (with or without hyperactivity) was not a scientific or medical decision.

 

[BigOrange15]

Hell, I have ADHD that I have to be medicated for and I didn't know that lmao.

All these drugs that you can take now didn't exist when I was diagnosed. It was pretty much just Ritalin and Adderall.

This crossed my mind as well. Seems beneficial to differentiate them since they often present differently.

Maybe they're trying to limit the amount of numbers used in medical coding.

 

[Vfl2407]

What about them? They play a completely different position.

Asking if you know if they are expected to be healthy enough to start the season.
But, if not, when?

There are many subsets of ADHD.

Me and mine encompass eleventy symptoms. All of them.

Yeah my predictions as of now is that the secondary will have the most unexpected lineup.

At this point not sure who the 4 or 5 guys are even going to be...names I'd project starting somewhere as of today.

0 - William Wright, he's the former walk-on but has been here 4 years and is a RS-Sr.
2 - Andre Turrentine, entering 3rd year and has played in 23 games the last 3 last year he started as well

I think those 2 are most likely playing early and likely starting. The other guys I think will play, but not sure they'll start or not are as follows in order of likelihood they start.

4 - Jourdan Thomas, entering year 3 and likely the STAR starter
3 - Jermod McCoy, 1st year here transfer from Oregon State but seems to have the size and skillset to be playing early and often
9 - Jakobe Thomas, MTSU transfer and has really good size at 6'2" 200lbs could see him in the mix, lots of experience although at a lower level

Younger guys that were recruited here that were highly rated and could take over
1 - Rickey Gibson III
23 - Boo Carter
24 - Jordan Matthews
25 - Kaleb Beasley

I gave this a like, but I would be startled if William Wright started, and if Gibson did not.

Wright or brooks? I get them confused.

 

[Volfan39]

Ricky Gibson will be a starter at corner. There is no doubt in my mind. I have severe doubt that William Wright will start anywhere in the secondary as well. Even AP and Hubbs have said that will not happen unless something drastic changes

 

[BruisedOrange]

You're an OT and this lines up across from you, what are you thinking?

What exactly is going on here?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Hell, I have ADHD that I have to be medicated for and I didn't know that lmao.

All these drugs that you can take now didn't exist when I was diagnosed. It was pretty much just Ritalin and Adderall.

I take a natural supplement called DMAE for my ADD.

It's changed my life. I hate Adderall and all that stuff, so this stuff (DMAE) works really well for me. Just gives you a natural boost in focus.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Wright or brooks? I get them confused.

Brooks is the one that could start over Jakobe.

Wright is nowhere near starting. It's firmly Ricky Gibson and Jermod McCoy at corner as far as I have heard.

Turrentine seems safe at the other safety spot and Jourdan Thomas at the STAR.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hope he throws Beamer under the bust.

This crossed my mind as well. Seems beneficial to differentiate them since they often present differently.

Psychologists still differentiate between three types of ADHD in the DSM 5 (handbook of diagnostic criteria). Inattentive type, hyperactive type, or combined type. Same thing happened when we went from the DSM-IV to 5 with the autism diagnoses.
