@joeloveshawks if for no other reason, turner would benefit from working w/Hudy a few years. I would say he really needs some work on his body! KU would definitely benefit him! I think he would fit in rather well! Love your optimism !

@JRyman Thanks!
@JayHawkFanToo think I know that answer!
@justanotherfan nice post. I have no idea what legal avenues they can take, zero! I've read that Sterling likes to take legal issues to court. That would be a nightmare to drag this out! Does he go away quietly?
@truehawk93 Barnes can't win against Self!
@truehawk93 I think he's coming here, he's a smart kid!
@truehawk93 I think he was just looking at the bright side of things, no? He didn't say he didn't want turner, he said regardless who else comes in.....
@JayhawkRock78 or those who call us names!
@JayhawkRock78 no Missouri and no WSU!
@drgnslayr I like it too!
@JayHawkFanToo found this article, maybe you have seen it?

@JayHawkFanToo good to hear! Don't hear much about him. I do know a bright point guard is generally a good coach! I wish we could hear more about our ex Jhawks. Thx!
@JayHawkFanToo so what's your opinion of Jacque Vaughn for a coach?
@jaybate 1.0 I've read this 4 times. This reminds me of a Chinese fire drill. Mass chaos maybe.
@drgnslayr the only reason the twins are coming back is because they dropped so low in the draft, or they would be gone. jMO
@drgnslayr see ralster's post.
@drgnslayr if it's the same guy I'm thinking of, he ended this season on a good note! Saw a recent pic, he's look pretty darn smooth! Great kid, deserves the best!
@drgnslayr hmmm Jeff Withey, sounds familiar!
@ralster nice posts!
@ralster let me know what you think after you watch. Anxious to see how the KU young pups do, hope for the best!

Turner says: “I like the high-low system that Coach [Bill] Self runs, due to the fact that I can play both the high and the low. Playing in that system with Cliff and a couple of other bigs over there, that would be pretty cool to be a part of.”
@drgnslayr Turner said he liked Selfs hi lo, he could play both.
@ralster great post! Only disagreement would be on Conner's defense. Pretty shaky, along w/a few others! I have a hard time figuring why it was so bad.
@HighEliteMajor how many guys can we hide?
@HighEliteMajor I do like a 1-3-1 w/wigs on top, super long athlete.
@HighEliteMajor I thought floridas press killed us, more than half court zone. Don't you think we improved from those early season losses against zones?
@DoubleDD haven't heard from you since your initial post! How bad was the hangover?
@HighEliteMajor I don't remember any teams playing zone other than Baylor, only mentioned that cause we played good D on them. They didn't stay in it to long cause it didn't work. Not funny to me! Who beside Stanford do you recall us struggling against a zone. I don't remember.
@HighEliteMajor ease up on comet! I like his/her responses! So do you think Self should or shouldn't get credit! It's a team, he's part of it!
@HighEliteMajor we did have glimpses of good D, Duke, Texas at home, OU at home, WV at home, Baylor. Our zone offense was good against Baylor. The only time I like a zone is against a quick team that gets to the rack easily. Once you get by one man in a zone, the zone breaks down and should be easy to score on. I like the zone to keep teams out of the paint. If they have good 3 pt shooters (plural) IMO, zones are worthless, unless a box and 1 or triangle and 2, but for short periods. Seeing the games when we played good M2M tells me we were capable of doing it ALL the time! I call it heart! Always respect!
@nuleafjhawk you would be fun to go to a game with!
@ralster I think of EJ when you mentioned players carrying losses w/them. It's unfair for him to carry that load!
Speaking of Embiid, have you watched any NBA playoff games. I'm not a big fan, but follow Jhawks and watch playoffs. I can't believe how they can physically go off on each other and are either just fined or suspended. I can't see how our young (green, soft?) ones can physically hang? Any thoughts?
With Embiid I still think we could have won it all. How many picked UCon?
My point about using M2M principles in the the zone is, if they can't keep their man in front of them in man, they won't be able to in a zone either. Our rim protecter saved us, many times this year, when he got hurt we couldn't cover our mistakes.
I'm sure we have all heard, Self doesn't recruit defensive players, he teaches it after they get here. An asst coach told me most of the kids come from programs that have zero knowledge on any defensive drills or terms. I still believe w/the excessive whistle blowing put us at an disadvantage. Does Syracuse ever switch to man? What zones would you play against Heslip, Forte or ISU? I'm not a zone fan except to throw some different looks.
@JayHawkFanToo that's it!
@JayHawkFanToo Withey's socks are the ones I bought and wore the day of the last Missouri game. My son and I were at the game and at half time he made me take them off! The rest is history! Never wore them again! Our family is weird!
@JayHawkFanToo I like it too! Withey had some great faces, especially the one w/blood on him.
@ralster I like tad Boyle, too. Nobody measures up! If Marshall was at KU would he play WSU? Probably Missouri too! GAG! What do you think of Jacques Vaughn?
@SlickRockJayhawk Nebraska coach? I've heard good things about him. Where has he been?
@ralster he better not go!! Gregg Marshall, that would be low! Not a fan of the chicken hawk caller. What about Jacques Vaughn ? I kinda like the Virginia coach too. Self can't leave! Would you consider any asst coaches
@jayhawk12 let's don't count dunks ON Jhawks!!!
@ralster love all those. Must add Tarik's dunk over Ridley, the bench going nuts! We've definitely been blessed to see some great ones!!! Fun times!
@Virgil_Caine referring to TRobs loss, I remember how gracious Frank Martin was to our guys, even donating to the Jayla fund and encouraging others to do the same. I don't always agree w/Frank, but I miss him in the conference. He always respected coach Self!
@icthawkfan316 a well-respected coach told me if you want to play a good zone, you still have to have good m2m principles, stance, move your feet, see the ball, help, box out and so on. I agree throwing some changes would be ideal, I also think the foul calling hurt us a great deal. We've been fortunate to have great rim protectors lately too. I'd love to see some fast break, push the ball up tempo. Always felt starting out pressing gets the juices going, example when we played WV at home.
What kind of zone would you zone guys use against the heslips, fortes and ISU?
@KUSTEVE jethro, Frankamp did indeed have some great moments in the final game. I believe he will have many more. But, he did have some chances and fell short most of the time. As far as Tharpe goes, I'm not promoting him, but he had a great game against OU, that one stands out the most. My point is, one game does not assure coach, Conner is the guy. He may be, Mason may be. I'm just hoping they all make huge improvements over the summer.
@Virgil_Caine good pts!
@nuleafjhawk besides that! Ha just can't see Self being happy w/that. He makes a good living, is a "celeb" already. But, I am a red pill taker!
@nuleafjhawk I think coach Self loves the traveling, butt-kissing and the challenges. After watching the Portland game last pm, I wondered what is the purpose of the man on the bench w/suit and tie on?
@HighEliteMajor I think Texas will give us some good games the next 2 years. Hate that ISU won the tourney, we were short-handed, which they later found out that hurts! ISU will give us a good game.
@KUSTEVE don't forget Embiid came off the bench. I don't think coaches devotion to Perry will affect turners decision
