@Crimsonorblue22 Yep. Needs to get in better shape first.

@JayHawkFanToo I agree and I don't think I ever implied otherwise?
@SlickRockJayhawk He is a boorish drunk.
@Statmachine I appreciate ya statsy.

Per @kenpomeroy KU has the 38th best home foul advantage in recent seasons.
I have a KP account. I looked it up. I'm pretty sure I'm on the right page. So what B12 teams get friendlier calls at home than KU?
27 OU
23 KSU
14 OSU
10 WVU
6 TTU
1 ISU

BUT BUT BUT ASK FRAN
@Kcmatt7 Gotta think he ends up at UNC if they want him.

@BShark What about Malik Hall?
He's originally from Cali and also spent a ton of time in Illinois. This is his first year in KS. He would be a good get but not what I would call a KS kid.
@Kcmatt7 All he has to do is look at Doke's development here. Doke had zero skills just about when he came in.
Not counting Dante KU could have the most Kansas/KC area players we have seen on the roster in a long time in the coming years.
Agbaji is already signed up. Harvey and JRE top 2019 targets and perceived heavy leans. 2020 Ty Berry and KT Raimey both look like KU level players to me.
@teebee10 knows what's up. Ty is a stud and I hope KU offers soon.

@HighEliteMajor And speaking of that, yesterday I read in the Tribune that Milton Doyle has been playing for the Nets. Earning about 10 minutes a game which with his contract means he's making a nice hourly wage.
He would have been a solid player for us had he stayed.
@Crimsonorblue22 Dunno hard to make much out from the pic.
FarmerJayhawk said:
Dante from Sunrise in Wichita was great at Basketball Without Borders last weekend. 7'7 wingspan too. KU really ought to have him as their #1 target in 2020, even ahead of RJ Hampton.
I would assume he is. Gonna be a battle to get him.
@Crimsonorblue22 Agbaji and Malik Hall were there.
@Blown It's kind of like an oil painting. Guessing it was a cell phone pic. Thanks for sharing.

@BShark letter jacket?
Can be seen here: 🐦 View Tweet
Yes in his letter jacket. :heart_eyes:
I know. I really meant players coming in out of HS. I wasn't thinking about transfers when I first brought it up.
@Crimsonorblue22 EJ was behind JJ actually.
Nice to know about Kevin Young.
@Crimsonorblue22 True but Tarik had 3 years in college at that point even. Pretty amazing where Silvio is at when he is only 19.
If they win out against three other fringe tournament teams as well though (Texas, Baylor and TCU) they should be firmly in regardless of what happens in the conference tournament.

I don't think most fans realize just how big and strong Silvio is. He is going to be a handful for Hudy. She better put in an order with the AD for additional iron weights.
He is one of the most ripped players we have seen coming in. It's all just mental for him right now.
@BeddieKU23 You are probably right. The only difference would be if they are scared of the FBI situation. But in that case they are probably bent over anyway.
@mayjay OMG :joy:
JayHawkFanToo said:
The big Dub was there but he lives in town.
I think he is the team chaplain and pretty much at every game.
@mayjay Whoops typo. Yeah.
DanR said:
Silvio did pretty well in the post game interview too!
He was so happy.
@dylans Not that. It's something we will likely never hear full details about like Preston if true.
@BeddieKU23 Certainly is KSU wins out in the regular season they should be ahead of OU in seeding. They will have beat OU twice and OU will at least have another loss.
Their rancid noncon is definitely hurting them now. The ASU loss isn't bad, but the Tulsa game bites hard. When you schedule 95% terrible teams in the non-con you have no margin for error.
@dylans Yeah pretty much. I'm not convinced Preston ever plays a game for KU even with the car accident.
Saw some of those rumors on Duke boards. We will see I suppose.
@dylans It's more than the injury.
I think HEM brought up some interesting points but then recently both sides took to insults instead of just discussion.
@dylans Bagley might not play again in college fwiw.
@cragarhawk Supposedly they are on the 8/9 line now. Kinda crazy. KSU is in a worse spot allegedly. I guess after KSU smokes OU again that will change. And I'm no KSU fan I've just seen this KU team play both of these teams twice and KSU is much better despite KU's record against both of them.
KSU if they win out would be looking at going 0-6 vs the three best/most talented teams in the league, but 10-0 against the others. I am not sure I've seen anything like that before.

It is not too dramatic to say that if DeSousa can have a positive trajectory, it is an absolute game changer for this team.
And let’s not forget Mitch. He had that incredible stretch of blocks and created huge momentum. One of the best and most natural blockers of the ball I can remember.
Silvio coming along can help Mitch too. Mitch knowing he has something, anything behind him to help the team can let him go more intensely on defense.
Listing all that I saw here.
Sherron and Cole obviously.
Frank, JJ, EJ, Reed, Morningstar, Kleinmann.
Anyone here notice anyone else?
@Crimsonorblue22 I believe you were at the game maybe you can help. :grinning:
One of his better games as a Hawk last night for sure.
@jayballer73 @JayHawkFanToo This team will smoke the PANTS off most 16 or even 15s I can think of. Absolutely drilled all similar teams we played like that in the non-con. Those kind of teams don't have the defensive athletes that give this KU team a lot of trouble.
@blackmild33 Correct, he was born there and grew up there until he was 5 or 6.
@BeddieKU23 I tend to believe it too. Didn't read as sour grapes. The Wisconsin guys were also one of the first to pick KU in the crystal ball after the offer.

People need to dial it down a notch. The name calling and personal attacks are over the top. I'm shutting this thread down.
I was about to do the same as I was skimming. I was hoping it would have simmered down.

It is entertaining to listen to some that apparently think that this win changes something. It doesn't even move the needle on the narrative of this season one degree. This is the pattern, if one is paying attention. Only future games, and consistency, say winning our next two at home, might suggest a change in the narrative.
How is that change in narrative coming along?
@chriz Grimes mentioned after he committed that he talked to Deron Williams. DWill had nothing but positive things to say about Self and how Self let him play but also helped improve his game. But sure, DWill is a Bruce guy according to el poyo. Makes perfect sense when you hate Self and KU I guess.
kjayhawks said:
This is exactly what I was talking about a few weeks ago inserting Vick and Newman back into the line up.Swinging the ball side to side, not caring about about who’s shooting the ball. 5 guys operating as a unit, BEAUTIFUL. One of the best displays of playing together and some of the best ball movement I’ve ever seen.
Playing like a team yay.
Malik Newman: The only thing on our mind was getting payback.
Great ceremony tonight.
Article on him and what he is up to: http://www2.kusports.com/news/2018/feb/18/tom-keegan-sherron-collins-not-yet-ready-hang-his-/ ↗
I'd love to see him brought onto the staff at some point when he is ready.
Self: I’m proud of Silvio. He never has a bad day. Great attitude.
Current mood
Silvio just carrying a Sooner here.
Texas Hawk 10 said:
Silvio is going to be one of the anchors of this team in 2019-2020 after Doke and Dedric move on.
Along with JR Garrett, SO Dotson and SO McCormack. That's a real solid base of players that should absolutely still be around. Oh and a SR Lightfoot as a scrappy bench and glue guy.
JayHawkFanToo said:
Arguably the most complete game KU has played all season. Looks like peaking at the right time.
Great response from the team after being called out by Self. Could have easily went the other way.
Silvio is a pro honestly, at least athletically.
