@JayHawkFanToo I thought we had one left this season, did pollard get it? If nobody leaves, don't we still have one? What about Perry? If the draft is weaker, he keeps this pace up, will Self advise him to go?
@JayHawkFanToo interesting that nobody has mentioned this in regards to recruiting? Thinking it has, but not public knowledge.
@konkeyDong good stuff! Thanks! No more p word👏👏😡💩!!!!
Another Ben Mac story
From this morning's press conference
• With KU’s non-conference schedule, there are numerous quality opponents. It is harder to get guys minutes if they’re figuring out who they are and if they can play. Self knows Oubre can play. He hasn’t had much of an opportunity to play through mistakes. He just needs to go and make something good happen for himself. … Not thinking too much is possible, because he has a good enough understanding. Self would rather a guy play with reckless abandon and screw up than play slower because he’s thinking too much. You can’t play to “not screw up.”
@Lulufulu "not exactly" key phrase! No way can you call it p word! self is playing match ups, the hot hand, defensive guys, rebounding guys, hustling, guys that know where to go, etc! He's blessed w/talented guys that he can go to, when someone else is not up to par.

Ben not only makes Jayhawks proud on the court, but he's so involved w/charities.
@pimpjuice not sure what's going on w/Wayne, but I feel strongly we will see Oubre breaking out like you thought! Hopefully before Christmas!
@globaljaybird good one!
I didn't know we had these defensive stats, anybody else know? I'd like to see them. Angry CF????
@JayHawkFanToo an ex KU asst coach told me it was shocking how little some of these kids have been taught, bb terms, drills and mostly anything about defense. Speaking of ex KU coaches, Manning is playing Minnesota now on espn u.
@drgnslayr one really nice thing about most of us, we don't bash our players. That's a big deal to me! Another blog was talking so bad about Mari's play, they were saying he needs to sit on the end of bench by Tyler Self, and worse. We see the bad stuff, were not stupid, but we always try to be positive.
@drgnslayr guess I've watched different games than you.
somebody mentioned Marshall could put him on a slow kid and hide his defensive prowess! Unlike our conference, they usually have some players in mvc that are not as athletic as big 12. Not saying that to be snotty, sounds like it.
@drgnslayr I was being sarcastic, like our coaches couldn't improve his game???? Or are not intense!!!!!!
@benshawks08 there's a chance, small one, they or one of them would enter draft.
@JRyman so you are the nice one? Jk, of course!
@JayHawkFanToo black out both of them.
@bskeet gag!!! Did I hear him say he was going to be at the Florida game?
“I really connected with Coach Marshall,” Frankamp said. “(WSU coaches) all sound very intense and they live and breathe basketball. They can help my game improve a ton.”
@globaljaybird he visited Colorado and creighton, read the lutz article.
@DoubleDD feel pretty strongly, this fan didn't need it!
@HighEliteMajor so, think this is a bit premature?
@DoubleDD of course bob lutz had to get a dig in to KU !
Anybody notice the crowd at the game tonight? About the same at the fsu- Nebraska game. We are blessed!
@JRyman you are the expert! Hasn't it been a couple of weeks?
@globaljaybird I really can't say anything positive so I won't say anything!!
@brooksmd ha! If our KU fb program couldn't handle Mangino, how in earth could they handle Pelini ? Interesting!
@joeloveshawks I just can't compare him to Releford, nobody played D like him, wiggins next. Wasn't Releford's shooting% pretty high?
@wrwlumpy oh no, Jethro!
@wrwlumpy didn't bother him during his 17 pt game.
@HighEliteMajor we knew that.
@drgnslayr Wayne's puzzling!
@drgnslayr I've thought that too, but just couldn't say it.
@JayHawkFanToo the rule interpretations killed us, but worse was Tharpe and Ellis on D. And then throw in the absense of Embiid!
@HighEliteMajor I know. I just meant there's no way they would have fouled Greene. I agree about having the best throwers out there. Just glad coach had faith and happy for Mari! Coach must have been really upset w/Greene or figured he would screw something up again. Beats me!
@icthawkfan316 I didn't hear that. Guess we will see. I'm really wishing him to live up to his hype. Can't see him in the nba at all at this point!
@icthawkfan316 graham got 2 pretty quick fouls in the first half. Not sure about his shoulder. He was really hurting after that hit and I was shocked he came back. I was hoping he would also come in to spell Wayne.
@HighEliteMajor pretty sure they wouldn't have fouled Greene!
@Lulufulu just think how much stronger he will get w/off season wkouts!
@icthawkfan316 no barbs, just wondered. I usually agree w/you! Self said he looks for 3 things in recruits, athleticism, shooting and I forgot the 3 rd one😬! Hasn't Self said that when Oubre gets what's going on he will be awesome? I know he said he wasn't worried about him figuring it out. Right now Greene (and I hate it) is his own worst enemy! The other night Svi hardly played. Beats me who will show up, but it's nice to have choices.
@wrwlumpy just heard that Frank made it, not sure it was posted on here yet.
@Lulufulu I think the game was to fast for the refs at the end. I thought under our basket they were out of bounds on a long out of of control possession. Either that or I thought they missed some fouls against Michigan state. Thought Cliff got hammered. Either way, good game for us to play and win! I was sounding like Izzo there!💩
@HighEliteMajor still whining about last season AND patting yourself on the back about it?👋 no horse pic this time! Jk! I think coach doesn't fully trust Cliff in a tight situation. Just a guess. He said they knew they were going to foul 31, he almost substituted, but decided to stick w/Mari.
@hawkster88 great points! Izzo was an a-hole in post game! He said a dead man can make lay ups. Also said we self defended our own lay ups. Not very professional!
@globaljaybird how about my man, our man, Jamari, hitting big free throws? Hope he gained some confidence, Self sure is giving him some chances. Most KU posters were dying w/him in at the end.
@globaljaybird Rock chalk! Never mention that loss again😜
@globaljaybird I'd like us to hit a few more 3's and a lot more free throws!! Greene's stupid TO took him out, grade school mistake. We need him to shoot!
@wrwlumpy my favorite play from last year!
