There are only 22 high-major scholarship players who will celebrate Senior Night this week, having played at just one place. Mississippi State's Shawn Jones Jr. is the only SEC senior to finish where he started.
Dozens of coaching changes and the transfer portal have led to this
This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned.
“Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.”
Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s.
So, what happened?
Screens.
Dr. Jared Horvath explained:
“Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.”
“So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).”
“If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.”
But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.
NOTABLE: Another midweek upset as Morehead State hits the road and takes down No. 18 @UKBaseball. Aubrey Kearns led the Eagles with three hits, one a home run and three RBIs.

Thank you Fernando Mendoza. I absolutely made both of my older boys listen to your speech. We rewound to the 5:40 mark twice. You’ll never see this, but your final words were exactly what my oldest son needed to hear. Saving that for last was super impactful and just gave my little dude some serious confidence. HUGE smile on his face. Needed to hear it from someone other than his Dad. You have a forever fan in me!
