I'll take a fourth year four star guy over any first year 5 star guy
I get what you are saying but Zion, Durant, Anthony Davis etc...
In general though, yes player development is important.

@BShark preseason all American
Yep. Can't jump over a dollar bill either. He is a nice player and will put up stats for KU. Might not end up AA. If KU improves as a team and has a successful year individual accolades will happen.
The huge part for Dedric is playing within the offense and not forcing things.

@BShark I didn't mean to crucify him. I expected more, passing and a stronger finisher.
Not you. Not really anyone on this board tbh. Twitter and the phog otoh...
6-11 from the floor, 7-10 from the line. 19 points 6 reb 3 ast. And crucified for his performance. Welcome to KU basketball Dedric.
So, um, yeah.

What? Is this a fake thread?!
KU playing bad + whiskey.
But yes. Fake thread. :joy:
When Quentin plays aggressively and well he is soooo good. But we knew this was an issue. Thankfully, Self should be able to poke it out of Grimes.
FINISH THEM

Can't play Garrett And Dotson together.
This is a serious post btw. Both are brick masons that don't have to be guarded from 3.

Not really sure this is the #2 team in the country.
Definitely not.
Can't play Garrett And Dotson together.
Yeah they are missing obvious calls both ways. Probably balancing out I guess.
That kid for Louisiana was fouled on that last 3PA. Refs missed it.

No moore

can't d that
That was Trey Burke range.
Much better intensity to start this half.
@DanR Everything is a flagrant now apparently.
Gant is a 27% career 3 point shooter and Miller who started hot was 15-56 last year. Yes giving up open looks is bad but Miller eventually cooled off. Just contest him at all and the game could be a lot different. Loads of room for improvement on defense for this KU team. Looks like a pick up game.
Miller was 1 for his last 4 threes. That's closer to normal for him...
That was a "no no no YESSS!" shot from Vick LOL.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
The guy isn't getting tired, he's not a 3-point shooter. This is some Northern Iowa stuff.
CORRECT. He was freaking 15-56 last year!!! And 1-2 headed into this game.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Charge.
Yep, it really was. Refs are terrible. This one benefited KU but I don't trust these refs at all.
DanR said:
We will be up 5 by half
If you are right I'll buy ya a beer
But regardless, Louisiana is kicking KU's ass.
That was a terrible call on Mitch.
KUSTEVE said:
we're playing with our food.
No. Louisiana is the better team.
Will be lucky to finish THIRD in the B12 behind KSU and ISU.
This team could use a loss to wake them up. Bad effort.
WOW. Everything goes in for them.
Welp. Dave time this game I would think.
KansasComet said:
@BShark I respectfully disagree.
This team is really poor defensively. It's kind of surprising to me.
Nova, despite their last game, will break 100 against this KU team.
BShark said:
Hopefully there will be defensive improvement.
Narrator: There was not.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Doke forcing too much.
Will be an issue all year probably.
Hopefully there will be defensive improvement. Maybe Dedric will show up.

I’m still shocked. Long was clearly a home run hire. This Girod dude might be ok himself.
Amazingly huge improvements over the last person at their position for each of them. BGL can burn in hell if that existed.
Academically Bernie was really good, but most don’t really care about how KU does as a university as long as they win.
Fair point. It felt like she almost had a disdain for athletics.

Hard to say, but surely Bill knows what Fran said at this pt.
Fran is friends with Bill.

The Mike Vernon twitter rampage about Les Miles is just amazing right now.
It's so great having good ku media presence. Gotta try to balance out the mutards and such.
@mayjay yeah Macallan is overpriced now but for a tasting like that it's worth trying.

Zags crushed Texas A&M by 23. A&M has hit hard times after that fire sale they had last season
Gonzaga Duke is the game we need.
@dylans Well stated.

Bol Bol has 14 points on 5/10 shooting for Oregon. 0/1 on 3’s. 5 rebounds and only one foul. He’s not nearly aggressive enough.
He needed a coach that would drive him. Dana Altman ain't it. He would have clashed with Self or Cal but have potentially turned out better for it.
Davidson won by 4.

@mayjay That's some quality right there.
I'm about to try Dalwhinnie 15 year.
How about a Laphroig - no one would call it smooth and some might say it was a good representation of our football program.
A good distillery. Lately I've been having Oban. Their 18 year is something else, incredible.

Davidson and the Shockers ties with 2 minutes to go.
Down 5 just friggin banked a guarded 3. Davidson will have to hit their FTs most likely to secure a win.
