In fairness, you've really got to try to get a tarantula hawk to sting you. They're super docile... unless you happen to be a tarantula.

I grew up with a phobia about spiders and everyone in my family knew it .......One year for Christmas I received a present from my ex sister-in-law....

I took off the wrapping paper and it was an old Kodak camera box , the kind that flipped up from the bottom .......Well , i flipped it up and she had arranged a tarantula with it's front legs up extended towards me ...........I literally ran around the room screaming for about 5 minutes trying to not crap my pants.....it didn't help that i had just smoked some of the good ole Acupulco Gold tripweed about 5 minutes before opening it up ..................I laugh about it now , but I am surprised I didn't have a stroke ....she somehow had captured it and sprayed hair spray on it to make it rigid enough to pose it that way.....

I never liked her before she did that and she knew that so that was her way of getting back at me .....well , it worked !!!!

true story....................

Didn't realize Boswell was part of the Aina clan -- no wonder he's a gifted athlete. I grew up around and played sports with his two uncles, one of whom was the Babe Ruth of C-U little league baseball (could throw a 70 mph fastball in 6th grade and was good for a HR/game). They were a pretty tight-knit family from what I can recall. My family moved when I was around Kylan's age; that's a tough age to leave childhood friends and I can attest to the pull C-U has when that is where you spent your whole childhood, even if the place you move to is more interesting/metropolitan (and that's without having significant family in the area too). Hopefully the state of our program and Ayo's success will help convince Kylan/his parents that he doesn't need to be elsewhere to get the recognition he deserves.

Given that his main reason for having us in the lead (pre-whatever TF DePaul did) was his relationship with OA, if he were to transfer from DePaul is there any reason it would be to us rather than another program? Heck, if he's showing enough talent at DePaul, maybe OA just brings him to UK.

He's friends with Melendez. Think he knows Belo, Kofi, Plummer just from all being from the Caribbean. If I remember correctly I believe he is also from the same hometown as Andres Feliz. Lots of connections outside of just OA. Brad obviously really liked him, he's got that dawg in him and is a very tough player. No idea if it will come to fruition but you take as many of those 6'6+ long, athletic wings as you can.
