@jaybate 1.0 well if they're getting hurt in D1, imagine what would happen in the NBA? Bigger, stronger, faster and don't give a crap if you are injured! If someone takes you out, fine them. Nobody cares.
@JayHawkFanToo unless he murdered somebody, pretty sure sitting on that bench, knowing he could have made a difference, has weighed greatly on him! Understatement!
@jaybate 1.0 how much did Wilt weigh?
@jaybate 1.0 I think all this bs foul calling is why Embiid is injured! I could write a page on it. First they call crap on him, then they review every damn call, then when you think you know what goes, the other center throws you down and "no call"! Throw in you've only played a few years, and it's one big mess(nice word for what I wanted to say) don't forget he hit heads w/Felix-Texas player had a concussion ! What 7 footer wouldn't be beat up? Physically and mentally!
@jaybate 1.0 think coach said he hadn't decided.
Another note. Adams no longer w/odessa juco.
@drgnslayr it was awesome!!!!
@drgnslayr great post!
@nuleafjhawk I'm in the nose bleed section, but I've never heard that, and hope to never hear it! We keep it loud, but for the most part, classy!
@truehawk93 let him throw Tarik to the floor, or try!
@drgnslayr speaking of the Beatles, did you watch the special Sunday?
@dylans guessing quickness, at the end we had 4 guards and Perry
@lincase the key might be, " not seeing much actual teaching time" ????
@Blown hopefully rest will take care it, said there was no structural damage. Embiid has gotten so beat up, physically and mentally.
Enjoyed both posts. What do you think if the kid doesn't want to go, doesn't need the money, but could go top 3? Does coach talk them in to it?
@Hawk8086 how long does it to figure that dang simple pick n roll? Drove me nuts!
@jaybate 1.0 you are scaring me! Sounds like our neighbors to the east!!!
Yee ha! I would add traylor in there, and try to push the ball up the floor and use wiggins that way too!
@ralster totally agree! One of my favorite moments from last year was EJ dribbling thru Spradlings legs. We made him look like an all star last pm! I'm a firm believer that playing d is from your heart!
@REHawk but, conners been out too???
@HighEliteMajor they are use to it, did you hear Spradling and weber's post game interview? Both of them at same time?
@drgnslayr I don't want to come down on any of them. I heard Wiggins say in some interview that he had no idea how hard college ball would be. Realizing that, does that mean he understands what that next level will be? Is it failure for him and his parents to NOT go?
@nuleafjhawk will this make him happy?($)
@drgnslayr I have been Wiggins loudest cheerleader, but I'm losing faith. I see his potential, but tell me what you think... What will he be doing in the NBA next year?
@JayHawkFanToo we wouldn't have even been in OT w/out him! Who would you pick?
@drgnslayr the only positive take I have from last pm, is Brannen Greene! Lots of thoughts, but none are positive.
@globaljaybird you are most welcome, God bless!
@approxinfinity so depressing, Jamari! Come on. Saw post game after WV and he even said coach said be good! So come on Jamari!
@globaljaybird I lost my best buddy a little over a year ago, unless you have had a best buddy, you can't understand! Just wanted to share a happy memory, Zak, not real name, would go to door every time I yelled during KU games. You know, that's a lot of times. His last year I started tearing his treats into small pieces(pregame ritual) and every time I got excited I'd give him a piece. He loved it and would bark when I got excited. Needless to say, he became a great KU fan! Peace my friend!
What kind of defense do you think Kstate will play on us? I think they'll pack it in.
@RockChalkinTexas Tarik is one smart guy. I've liked him all along, glad to see some doubters jump on. I see him talking to guys on the bench too. He's a Jayhawk!
When I was watching Texas-ksu, I saw ksu pack it in and Texas couldn't get their big guys the ball. I'm thinking we will see the same thing?
@drgnslayr hoping after tomorrow we have 8 players on here! Rock Chalk!
I'm just hoping we can get off to a great start, kstate jumped on Texas so fast. We can't let them feel comfortable, especially at their house!
@drgnslayr I like this is a win win place to post. Lots of positives for this topic. I'm going w/Tarik and Jamari. They stepped up big time! Love their confidence. Hoping they keep it up.
@HighEliteMajor I can't stand the way Smart has flopped around this year, but it's been entertaining for us. Seriously, I feel for him now. OSU has hit rock bottom. No matter what that dumba$$ grownup said, Smart can't react! Yes he needs some counseling , but that dumba$$ fan could also use some too! I think back how shocked I was that Smart was coming back this year. I thought that was great for the Big 12 . How much have the rule changes effected Smarts frustration? I think they have confused Embiid. They confuse me.
There's a difference between heckling an NBA man and a college kid. Didn't I read the antlers were banned from some games this year? Smart was wrong, and he should be punished and will be, but there's just something wrong about an older man acting like that!
@drgnslayr thx! It is a good read, have more respect for him.
@wrwlumpy that was for last year? I'm assuming it still applies? Wonder if any other coaches have contracts like that?
@bskeet I have a kstate "friend" who admits he hates KU more than he loves kstate! Some serious problems!
@JayhawkRock78 mine does the same thing!
Off topic, some ks state fans were saying they were hoping Texas beat them this weekend in order to keep us from getting our 10th.
@drgnslayr I loved Martin! I remember how respectful he was to us and especially to TRob, even donated to the Jayla fund.
@drgnslayr does it seem like Self has not been yelling near as much as in the past years? I think he's hanging the carrot out there more this year. Handling these frosh a little differently?
@Hawk8086 I'd just like to see Wiggins and Embiid combine for 40!
I love this topic! Enjoy everyone's posts. It's so hard for me to understand how you can play and not be competitive ! All of my family is and in everything. Working w/kids at all levels trying to teach them to value ball is always important. I tell them it's like a million bucks . During practice I toss the ball out at random times and we always have them dive on it. If they are playing d and aren't watching the ball I toss it out, not at them. Ball is more important than man. Man can't score w/out ball. I also walk around and try to knock the ball away from them when they are not looking. If I do, it's push-ups. Post game is always about d, we give defensive stats, charges get candy, most floor burns get candy or whatever, Gatorade. I really think you can teach kids to be competitive. Some of the kids we had played juco and d1 ball. Fun times!
@JayHawkFanToo smart is giving us to much material!!!!
@ralster go ralster go!!!! I just flopped right out of my chair! Your words are so true!
@drgnslayr I do like how his team plays and how they handle themselves! I'm starting to gag....
@JayHawkFanToo I hope you can find it.
