ok Big 12 / SEC challenge • Jan 27, 2018 04:32 PM

I just want Kansas to win. I don't really care too much about conference perception.

I guess I want Kentucky to lose, too.

Missouri isn't participating this year, but I hope they lose to whichever SEC team they're playing.

I think we are looking at a 3 game losing streak before rebounding against Oklahoma State.

Texas A&M offered Agbaji. Stock rising.

Markese had 28 pts in last game.

Dotson 27 pts/12 reb/10 ast last game.

Grimes went for 45 pt/8reb.

Staff visiting Romeo again.

He retweeted a few tweets about Self being there. Doesn't really mean much but obviously these kids care. We should keep showing up as much as possible.

Marcus D is solid but his O is terrible, he just can't score. That puts a lot of pressure on other 4 players. Self is being irrational here.

Garrett is 30-71 from the floor, Cunliffe is 9-21. Not a discernible difference.

Great story. Hope the kid contributes to the team in some great way.

Echo all the sentiments on the story. He has had a great SR year so far.

This kid and Teahan will battle in practice. Very nice pair of walk-on guards that could have easily played D2 ball.

wissox said:

Hadn't heard that. Is this related to that Dr.? Badgers play there tonight. Bo won 16 of 28 games against Izzo btw.

This is separate from that. There were two instances under Izzo. One was a rape where no charges were filed so the woman sued the university. 16 cases of sexual assault in 10 years in the football program. Most went unreported.

Izzo: RUH-ROH • Jan 26, 2018 11:01 PM

It's much much worse for their football program. D'Antonio could honestly go to jail.

@BShark What are you talking about?

Covering up rape.

Izzo: RUH-ROH • Jan 26, 2018 10:52 PM

Like he is going to be fired right? He should be.

@Barney He would lose a year of playing unless he went to D2 or lower.

I'm certainly no expert but with those comments we can put the over/under on Sam's minutes for the rest of the year at 0

I'm starting to think there is a chance he might not be here next year.

Ugh, Emmitt Williams to LSU.

Red-Flag's put aside this was one of my favorite players in the entire class.

The reality was he was always going to a Nike school. LSU selling some goods reeling in 3 5 star recruits.. Wade ain't that good!

No high profile hoops school was going to take him after what happened. And yeah, SWOOSH.

@BShark I have always been a big fan of Bogart, Casablanca being my favorite. I enjoy some current films but I find excessive CGI a turnoff and a poor substitute for good story telling and writing. I realize I sound like and old fool.

Not at all. So many modern films are style over substance imo. I am also a fan of using practical effects over CG.

Film/Movies Thread • Jan 26, 2018 03:18 AM

@jaybate-1-0 I feel Citizen Kane is an odd film. It did so many innovative things from a film making perspective but honestly I feel it is a bit overrated now. Worth watching at least once though for sure. You mentioned a lot of good ones.

I'm going to be watching Sword of Doom soon. Unfortunately it was a planned trilogy and the other two movies weren't made, but still I've heard it is excellent.

Recruiting Thread • Jan 25, 2018 08:43 PM

I'd like to see Harvey and JRE make it official before next fall. OU worries me as a dark horse with Harvey.

Sam Cunliffe: MIA • Jan 25, 2018 08:37 PM

jaybate 1.0 said:

Sam just got the worst review I have ever read Self reputedly give.

Has Self found another 5-star that wants to decommit, or transfer in?

Is the Jayhawk at center court big?

I already posted this on another KU site but Cunliffe just doesn't strike me as the type that succeeds under Self. The fact that he had a film crew following him around during practice was a warning sign to me.

Plus as mentioned before his advanced stats on a really bad ASU team were not good. I think Self would rather have a hard working underrated 3* even. Jmo.

@BeddieKU23 - -not sure - -but I just looked and pulled up JRE profile - still on there shows him as a 5 star - -what am I missing?

247 rankings not the composite.

NATL. RK 28

@BeddieKU23 Hooooly :poop: Jalen Wilson. He is a kid I think we can close on too.

JRE receiving the pre-KU commitment drop. :coffee: I don't care where Markese is ranked, I like him long term for us. He has a lot of stuff you can't teach.

Okongwu will end up at UCLA.

Still sleeping on Williamson imo.

Carlton Bragg • Jan 25, 2018 07:30 PM

To New Mexico. Hope he can get it together.

Guys I' need some info - -I'm confused • Jan 25, 2018 07:17 PM

At this point I am in favor of mushing Cunliffe for Agbaji.

Also I still think Newman is leaving for sure.

Sam Cunliffe: MIA • Jan 25, 2018 07:06 PM

Jesse Newell‏Verified account @jessenewell

Bill Self says Sam Cunliffe still has a lot to learn from a basketball standpoint. Self says he hasn't performed well in his limited opportunities, both in games and practice.

:thinking:

Twilight @Jayballer54 ? We got a teenage girl on the board boys! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Outlaw Josie Wales is a goodun for sure.

Doka stock takes a Nose Dive • Jan 25, 2018 06:01 PM

@BeddieKU23 Absolutely. Shaq, Ben Wallace, Andre Drummond, Deandre Jordan etc... Even Emeka Okafor had a solid NBA career.

BeddieKU23 said:

Andre Drummond is a career 40% FT shooter. Doing just fine in the league. FT shooting will not be the reason he comes back to school. SMH

Plenty of other reasons though.

FarmerJayhawk said:

I don’t think Doke would be drafted. Cheick actually had some skill: he could really run and actually had a shooting stroke. Plus great length. Totally different other than they’re both African.

This. Diallo and Doke are very different players. I also think Self made a mistake not playing Diallo. @HighEliteMajor

Which one of you did this? • Jan 25, 2018 05:38 PM

LOL

Bill Self - cost us the game? • Jan 24, 2018 02:33 AM

Yeah I meant tie, my bad. They will claim it as a win tho.

Bill Self - cost us the game? • Jan 24, 2018 02:32 AM

Playing at KSU for first place. KSU is going to win the league aren't they? WOW.

Film/Movies Thread • Jan 24, 2018 02:32 AM

Good time to watch a movie.

Bill Self - cost us the game? • Jan 24, 2018 02:09 AM

Very winnable game. Should have put them away.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 02:04 AM

Leaving Manek wide open seems sub-optimal.

What was Self thinking? Three straight turnovers! This loss will be because of his choke.

No other way to spin it.

Yes it is.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 02:01 AM

Let's be honest Self blew this game. Also screw Lon Kruger even if he was smart to do it.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 02:00 AM

Well, we lose. Oh well.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:59 AM

UGH come on Bill.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:58 AM

Put Mitch in the game seriously.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:58 AM

Somehow OU keeps shitting their pants.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:56 AM

Can't believe Doke is still in there.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:55 AM

Trae just jedi mind tricked the refs.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:55 AM

Lots of KU players with 4 fouls...

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:53 AM

HA! Illegal screen.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:52 AM

Ball should be given back to KU after the fts in that case.

Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN • Jan 24, 2018 01:52 AM

Shouldn't be able to foul Doke when he doesn't have the ball...
