Another issue that's popped up during phone use. Starting a thread and it let's you make out headline but will scatter your post backwards and wont work properly. Some weird stuff going on

This has been happening for quite awhile. It happens on my tablet DEPENDING ON HOW I HAVE IT ORIENTED. Works normally with vertical orientation, has the error when horizontal (my preferred orientation).

Had to do a websearch for the site and delete my saved bookmark. Works now

Purged my history and did this and still can't make threads.

Did not work on my tablet either.

@approxinfinity Crims was able to make a thread on her ipad but not her phone. It is not working from my desktop pc. I should try my tablet.

@Crimsonorblue22 I get the error "category does not exist" whenever I try to make a new thread in any section.

Bruce is taking it to WVU again. WVU has fallen apart lately..

Got pounded by Creighton today. Sheesh.

Hmm, can't make one in other sections either. Can anyone else make threads?

@Crimsonorblue22 was going with Future Texas Longhorns HC Game Thread but let's see if @approxinfinity can get this fixed.

I can't make a thread in the KU Hoops section since the update.

@FarmerJayhawk It was surprising when we got Doke.

If you watch Diallo now, whom I follow, he still is extremely talented, but not much improved. Sometimes doesn’t even play. He loves KU, comes back and went to Selfs HOF induction. I’m not a huge LL fan, in fact it kills me sometimes, but he has a hi bbiq. Wish we could inject that into diallo.

Yes Diallo himself likes Self/KU but he isn't the one preventing KU from signing any future players from Mali as long as Bill is here. Kids are often not in control.

A few others that intrigue, Adama Sanogo 6'9 C playing for the Patrick School (NJ). Just recently got eligible for them and is really solid rebounder. Originally from Mali.

At the 4 spot I would love to see them target KJ Adams, he can shoot outside and get dirty in the post. That's if they miss on Brown.

Gotta land KB. Kinda all in there.

Don't think we have a shot with Sanogo. From what I understand, KU will not be landing another player from Mali.

@BeddieKU23 We don't appear to be in that race.

2010, 2011 and 2016 were huge misses. It's funny to me that Bill made the FF in 2012 and 2018 with worse teams.

Biden would make me mutter on the way home from voting. But no way in hell I'd vote for Trump.

Hoping for Bernie.

Hawk8086 said:

@BShark Isn't the bigger issue that there are no outstanding teams this year? Apparently, at least, so far. That gives our flawed outside shooting team that plays good defense and has a big man that teams will always have to account for, as good a chance as anyone?

That's exactly it. I think the eye test tells us this team has issues, and isn't as close to say the 2010 team as the numbers would indicate. the numbers are relative to the rest of college basketball, which is down.

There is no reason this team can't win a title, but every game after the 16 (maybe 15) seed will be like pulling teeth.

tl;dr he was looking to play against Tennessee and injured his back in practice. JEEEEZUS.

HighEliteMajor said:

@Marco '18, '17, '16? Do we think this team is better than of those? I'm kind of leaning that all three were better, assessing things right now. The Q for me is how Lucas was the drag on the '17 and '16 teams.

Statistically this team is better but the 16 team is close. That was a lost opportunity. Absolutely should have won it all...

18, despite making the final four is a bottom half Self team statistically which goes to show the luck involved in making a FF. It also, to be fair, shows the importance of offense. It's easier to get lucky if you can shoot. Good defense can also mostly only do so much. That team was average defensively but other teams can still just miss shots such as the miracle roll out shot by Grayson. Then they were ultimately exposed by Villanova.

I don't know of any Bill Self player with a lower Drtg per 100 possessions ever.

Basically no one.

Hunter and Cheick were mid 80s but only played 200 minutes.

Jo was 90, so you could imagine him as a SR...

Jeff bigdong Withey in his legendary SR campaign was 84.2.

TRob 84.6 as a JR.

SR Cole was the closest I saw at 83.1.

Kcmatt7 said:

This team is definitely good enough to win it all this year.

To this point, this is currently the third highest graded (on Kenpom) KU team in Self's tenure based on overall adjusted efficiency. Last year was the 2nd worst (behind only 2004). What a turnaround plus you know who staying healthy this year (knock on wood).

Other Games • Jan 30, 2020 02:32 PM

@dylans The Bruce/Snyder special. TCU has been low key great at this as well the last several years. I'm kind of surprised TCU hasn't been better with Dixon. I guess he is just a middle of the conference coach. He seems almost locked in there.

Sallis bumped to #20 overall, 5* on Rivals. Need.

Wanted him since I saw the offer. Him and SO Bryce... Mercy...

Other Games • Jan 29, 2020 10:21 PM

@Woodrow Vegas had Florida winning. Maybe they undervalue Baylor based on the past.

We all know Dot is playing hurt (very apparent) but I have it on good authority that Garrett's ankle is to the point where he is wearing a walking boot around campus.

Literally three starters right now nursing injuries.

2021 Recruiting • Jan 29, 2020 01:13 PM

Transfer to d2. Maybe he shakes out, but certainly not a sure thing.

2021 Recruiting • Jan 28, 2020 09:07 PM

FarmerJayhawk said:

For sure leaving: Lightfoot, Silvio, Garrett

Maybe: Ochai, Thompson, Jossell

So I think 5 (+/- 1) is a solid number to think about.

I could see a quick processing with Jossell as well.

I hope Thompson and Ochai stay of course.

Dream class is Kendall Brown, Hunter Sallis and a really good big. Probably super tough to pull Sallis if Garrett is the only guard we lose though. I want no part of the Zion Harmon circus.

Not sure what bigs we are realistically in on but we will need one at a minimum.

Big 12 Suspensions • Jan 28, 2020 04:45 PM

Science is pesky like that.

2021 Recruiting • Jan 28, 2020 01:13 PM

Piper High School.

Wonder how big this class will need to be.

RIP Jalen Wilson • Jan 28, 2020 03:58 AM

@BeddieKU23 It's not hard to imagine a situation where he is better than Tristan.

We need to hold these jokers under 40

WVU held them to 41 - would be nice to best that...

TCU held them to 40. This could be their first time under 40 but...I think there is too much time left plus walk-ons.

Pistols Out of Ammo Game Thread • Jan 28, 2020 03:46 AM

Oklahoma State seems not good at getting the ball to go through the hoop. Should help our KP numbers back up...

@FarmerJayhawk you should see the 93 (I think) army vet at my mom's church. He's GREAT btw.

No worries about helicopters either, she might coach him harder than Bill lol.

@BShark Good choice him not going to MU.

I don't even think they were an option. I heard KSU or OU before KU got involved.

Braun has 8 rebounds. Garrett has 8 rebounds and 9!!! assists.

Doke playing nowhere near the bucket on O

I've taken my shots at Boynton but his plan has been solid tonight, just lacks the dudes.

kjayhawks said:

@truehawk93 I think Braun will be better than Svi at least defensively very soon. Braun is a threat to Boschee’s 3 point record

Braun looks better than Svi to me. The biggest difference will be defense. Remember when Iowa State abused Svi on D for like 5000 straight possessions?

Permanent starter Christian Braun?

:hundred_points: he'll have to stop playing well to lose it. and that's not going to happen. Self was at the end of his rope with Moss.

You think its Dotson/Garrett/Agbaji/Dave/Doke when Dave's back?

I hope we start Braun over Dave and go mainly just one big.

@BShark Tristan and Braun will be lethal in the nest 2-3 years

I'm stoke for Jalen too. He's the kinda guy that has a quiet 16 ppg as a JR.
