Nadir Barnwell

[DeepThrowIt]

Syracuse was at Piscataway High School in NJ today to check in on Barnwell. Piscataway is quite the feeder program.

I'd be willing to bet they are the only public high school in America to have three NFL first round draft picks in two years (Anthony Davis, Kyle Wilson, Malcolm Jenkins).

I would not name my kid "Nadir."

stupid remark...just plain stupid when both parents and recruits read the boards of the schools they might be interested in.

 

[Frozen]

Eh, I stand by it.

 

[anglerman]

Wow wo cares what his name is and what business is it of yours what people name their children? Why even say anything at all?

Not sure everyone got the point of this.

 

[cusestudent]

Not sure everyone got the point of this.

What? The fact that it is an Arabic name? I wonder whether he was just trying to be racist. What's wrong with Nadir? What was his smart a** point?

Really?

Frozen's actual name is Apex, so maybe you could understand where he's coming from.

 

[Frozen]

1. My name is Zenith, not Apex.

2. People should look up "nadir" in a dictionary and then come back and apologize to me.

Well I was gonna go with Zenith but it sounded either too God-like or like a beat up TV.

So you're a Zenophobe? [sp.]

This is officially the strangest thread in the history of the board. Not the worst, just the strangest. And, for the record, I wouldn't hesitate to name my first-born Nadir. At least that way he wouldn't be burdened with unreasonable life-expectations.

 

[qdawgg]

I apologize - I'm still not sure who gives a though

Sorry I didn't know your name? That would probably be an important piece of information to know for that comment. I know that Nadir means Zenith as I know many Nadir's from my time in Iraq. Many Americans are extremely anti-Arab and that is something that I do not tolerate when I see it.

What about when you don't see it?

Um...nadir is the OPPOSITE of Zenith. The lowest point, in a job, in someone's life, etc... That's why Frozen said he wouldn't name his child that. And I'm pretty sure Frozen's name isn't Zenith. It's Panasonic.

 

[cusestudent]

Um...nadir is the OPPOSITE of Zenith.

Wasn't aware that it was opposite of zenith. I'm pretty sure it also means dear or rare when it is used as a name for a boy. A lot of Nadira's too

 

[tep624]

All you'd have to do is a simple google search to know what Nadir means. You may want to take a step back and educate yourself first next time before jumping to conclusions and insinuating that a person's comments are racist.

 

[tipphill]

Eh, I stand by it.

that makes even worse

 

[Frozen]

I stand by the dictionary definition of "nadir." It means the lowest point.

Might be time to open a Theasaurus Forum. Maybe when Fine Mess closes down.
