What a happy day it must have been for Svi. After he would score he would point to his parents. Devonte looks like the only 12 year old on the team but Svi at age 17 must really miss being away from home. I'm glad mom and dad got to see the love that goes on in the Phogg and can take comfort in Svi being in this environment.
And by the way, welcome back lob feeder extraordinaire. He actually had six rebounds in the box score.
@wrwlumpy Devonte has to be a big part of what we do out there - we looked like 2008 at times yesterday. The steals, the runouts, the defensive pressure was incredibly good. Maybe this is the game we dub, "Perry finds a home" ...and it's not down on the box, it's beyond the perimeter ...lol...
Devonte also had 6 assists to go with his 2 points and 6 rebounds...

Young Devonte and his uncles.
@Kip_McSmithers Aw, jeez, does that mean I'd be forced to tweet and twiddle? If so, I will just await wrwlumpy's gracious copies and oftentimes colorful commentary. At one time I did learn to call up something called utube, but this facebook and tweet crap falls outside my aging inclinations.
@Kip_McSmithers Thanks, Kip. That was fairly easy to do, even for an old fart.
Svi's father told self "He can be a little up and down". Self said "Not too many have realistic expectations about their own. It doesn't happen often. It’s refreshing." Makes you wonder if he had Conner and his parents in mind when he said that.
I had higher expectations of Conner and while he did not disappoint, he did not particularly impress either.
@JayHawkFanToo Agreed. Although I would like to think that I would have waited it out and been honored to play 15 minutes a game as a sophomore in a Jayhawk uniform, can't blame a guy who wanted to play more minutes in the game he loves.
@JhawkAlum That was my exact thing. But that could just be the crimson and blue colored glasses. I would prefer to play 15 mins per game at a perennial power and THE greatest place to play college basketball over playing 25 mins at a smaller lesser known school. The name recognition alone playing for KU would have done wonders after graduation.
