Late to the fry party but…that is actually why their fries suck. The primarily accepted culinary technique to make perfect French fries is the double fry. Partially fry the fresh potato, remove it and chill (freeze) it, and then fry it to finish and serve after it’s been chilled. Crispy outside, fluffy inside.

However, in and out has a fresh, never frozen, food policy. So their own rules don’t allow them to use the double fry technique, despite it being accepted as the best culinary way. They are literally doing it to themselves.

That said, Ty Rodgers is a really good player. Consider the positive impact he has on games without the ability to shoot, the way basketball is played right now. It almost doesn’t make sense how effective he is. Normally, if you have a player whose shot isn’t falling, you tell them to find ways to positively impact the game in other ways. Ty does that.

Does his shot need to get better? Absolutely if we want to become the best version of our team, AND if he wants to become the best version of himself. I’d also add that he needs to get more comfortable finishing left handed at the rim. He had a lot of opportunities on the left side where he still tried to inside scoop with his right hand. Fixing one of those 2 things immediately makes him more dangerous. Fixing both, we have a great developmental sell for recruits, about how we took a guy who made zero shots outside the paint his freshman year and turned him into a lottery player.

One thing on RayJ that might be holding things up. Note that his announcement includes the words "if I decide to withdraw from the NBA draft."

He's is the portal, but apparently has not yet withdrawn from the draft. I think he has until May 31?

Sad to hear Portillo's quality has gone down. Inevitable I suppose since Dick is no longer the owner. Still wish we had it in CO.

Maybe some day. I've had portillo's in Phoenix and Anaheim, so there are some locations out there. Also had Rosati's in Roseville California, though it closed during covid.

I frequented the Scottsdale and Tempe locations frequently when living in Phoenix. Was just as good then IMO.

Is this report of scheduling visits a way of cutting down on the appearance of tampering since the buzz has always been a foregone conclusion he was joining our team?
