CU assistant coach Corey Barker allegedly received a payment of $6,000 from Dawkins in July of 2017, in exchange for Barker steering certain student athletes to Dawkins’ company, once they entered the NBA.
Spot on
I'd love to see them run more Lob plays for him. We miss so much over the top action not having Doke but Dave is a capable athlete.
Despite how bad the game at Norman was overall for the team McCormack finished with a season high 18 points.
The progression of Dave at this point is important to note with the likelihood that Dedric & Doke are leaving after the season is over.
Interesting to note:
Big Dave in games where he averages less then 10 minutes a game- 1.0ppg
Big Dave in games where he averages 10-15 minutes a game- 2.2 ppg
Big Dave in games where he averages 15+ minutes a game- 9.3 ppg
His PER with extended minutes recently has continued to trend higher. Should Dave be playing more minutes? Should he have played more minutes after Doke went down with injury?
It's not all about points I will admit. Lightfoot has had some recent games where his intangibles (hustle, blocking shots, extending possessions) fit better in the game flow. I'm just imagining where Dave might be with say 500 minutes as opposed to the 250 he's logged all season. Maybe it's not much of a difference but Dave has shown flashes in recent weeks. I have no clue if his progression over the season would have changed anything but his future looks bright the way he's played with extended minutes in some games. His Freshman to Sophomore development could have the most impact on this team next season.
Javonte Smart, paid to go to LSU, how shocking
Sources say its Nebraska and TCU

@Texas-Hawk-10 Plus you have the pressure of the NCAA tournament. Younger teams often have a hard time in the tourney..especially against an experienced, lower seeded team. If we are a 4 or a 5....look out as the opponent will be a good team. Lipscomb, etc.
I'm almost positive the media is going to pin KU on upset alert no matter who the opponent is in the first round. I can't say I blame them but Self better do whatever he can to block these kids from reading about it or it will go to their head. They let Tech & K-St winning on Monday night affect them in Norman just a day later. Hopefully I'm wrong here but this team is as fragile mentally as any I've ever seen
bout time KU got on getting Juniors to official

If the team that played at OU shows up again, we r done. I didn't know that team!
same one that went to Texas Tech too
what was worse the defense or how many shots never looked like they had a prayer of going in. Do we practice shooting?
They would have made them anyway
Sshhh its only right when we do it
the streak unraveled according to ESPN's front page.
Arizona St doing that unofficial cheating thing where they add the less talented brother to get the 5 star brother. Josh Christopher is the player I'm talking about. His unranked brother just committed to ASU. KU has recruited Josh..likely to no avail
Now they left us just intrigued enough to watch the 2nd half
It could be worse
Down 13
Mitch only takes charges wth
We are so gonna score at least one bucket before half
Self got a free timeout
Gotta love dedrick effort on d
2 games is a lot to ask
Dedric scored.
Only 6 points away from Texas tech
Moore is like I gotta get on this action. I have a low field goal % to keep up
Nope just 1
Heat check we might score
Dont worry we are only down 17
After he runs out of timeouts should he just pick a fight
Back to the pits
And none of them by the team we are rooting for
Some good shots being put up
Maybe they will get 10 points in 10 minutes. Small goals
Can we do a running clock
It's not fun when its the other side
Some of the most pathetic basketball I've seen
Shades of tech again
Bricked an open 3
Good start
For Oklahoma

My god this entire situation/trial is sooooo ridiculous.
i still can't fathom why they bothered.
Random guy to Gatto "what you in for"
Gatto- "paying kids to go to college that were already going to college"
The first question I have is how do you rate the Top 130 before the season starts. There is so much unpredictability with teams from year to year especially now with rampant transfers, coaches pole jumping for other schools that I think using the prior years ranking in the NET isn't fair enough, especially for mid-majors that usually rely on upperclassmen to build success while its easier for Power 5 and elite teams to just simply retool a whole starting 5 because they can recruit better players.
It's not a bad idea to give everyone a shake at a set of games against each other. I'm open to anything.
I think the 18 game conference slate is too many games especially in a 10 team league like the Big-12. I used to like the round robin schedule but even that has its drawbacks for the league overall.
There has to be checks and balances to it all. Gonzaga shouldn't be punished for the conference they play in (which I believe is ranked 8/32 overall). I know the perception of their league isn't good but what conference gets any respect outside the Power 5 these days. Could they move? Sure they could but where as a basketball school only? They are limited geographically. They probably would have made a move by now if there was a win/win for them?
Not rewarding teams regardless of conference is just slanting it towards the Power 5 even more. KU gets the benefit of being in the Big-12 and getting sometimes a dozen Q1 and Q2 games from that alone. The Big-12 is down this year but yet has 7-8 teams that could make the tournament and a few of them with losing conference records. Not exactly "fair" either. The Big-12 will always be rated in the Top 6 or so conferences in the country.
I don't know what the perfect fix is to rewarding teams. Gonzaga hasn't won a title yet despite their easier path most years. They did make the finals in 2016. If they win the title with the easy path- meaning they received a #1 seed because of easier schedule during regular season inflating their team record/reputation/perception then there's a legitimate gripe for the P5 squads that go through murder's row sometimes before March even hits.
Attendance for Oklahoma games is so bad they are pleading students to come by giving them free tickets.
Dotson isn't even in the Top 10 of his position (for the draft). People are worried for no reason.
I'm worried that last night's results will leave the team with less urgency to win tonight. OU has its Sr night and they have a lot of them so those guys will be amped up. It's a big game for them, a KU win all but keeps them in the tourney even with a losing conference record. I hope the guys come out with the same fire they did on Saturday. If they do we can really start to be optimistic about ending this season on a high note.
I guess I see it differently then you but that's okay I'm enjoying the discussion regardless.
I wouldn't want to play either team in the tournament based on what I've seen of both teams recently. Gonzaga is better then KU which isn't easy to admit and I would put the Houston matchup as a toss up depending on how they close their season. I don't see many weaknesses in either team especially Gonzaga. We don't matchup well with Gonzaga at all. Doesn't mean KU couldn't win but we'd be a dog playing them.
I avoided including KU's SOS with the two teams because I don't think it matters whether KU played 17 more games against better competition or not. At what point has KU proven to be the better team so far? We lost that once Doke went down with the injury. It's March, I've never seen a correlation in playing the toughest schedule translating to March Success. When we look back at our losses in the tournament do you think we complain about not being prepared for the game in the regular season? I don't know what Gonzaga fans complain about when they exit the tournament but I doubt they are worried whether they played a tough enough schedule. Maybe they do, they do continue to play in a conference they are too good for these days. Few recruits and develops well enough these days where his players are just as good or comparable to his competition. Houston hasn't had success like Gonzaga but they have upperclassmen throughout their rotation and guys back from last years tourney run that now have experience. KU will have 7 guys who've never played in a tournament game suiting up. I stated in a prior post this KU team is good enough to beat anyone and lose to anyone.
Gatto- 9 Months
Code & Dawkins- 6 months.
Code & Dawkins go on trial again in April so maybe they get "added" time.

Duke getting involved with Cassius Stanley. I think KU has been out of this one for awhile. I think they're banking on Grimes coming back.
Good.
One word says it all!
