What about Marcus? What's he going to do?
Give a speech Saturday, then make a final decision after the season. I’d say 90% chance he leaves

@FarmerJayhawk Threehan makes sense, I had been hearing Mitch was taking a job with the WEF.
Yeah, he's finishing his master's this year. He'll probably work some, take like one class, and play ball if in fact he comes back.

Go get HIM
Staff is on it!
Bossi just confirmed this on 247.
Nice, nice. Also hearing Mitch and ginger snipes will be back
He knows he has to keep his caucus together. This is the way to do it. His feelings about Trump haven't changed. Notice he said nothing about supporting him for the nomination.
Here in NC, phase 1 was health workers and nursing home residents/staff, phase 2 was older (>65) folks, phase 3 is other frontline workers (grocery store workers, K-12 and higher ed faculty who have to teach in person, etc.), 4 is adults with co-morbidities, 5 is everyone else
All my grandparents have had both. No issues. One of my good friends who’s 30 got both of his for continuity of government and was sick as a dog for 24 hours after the second dose. He told me at least he knows it worked! The more folks get them ASAP, the better chance we have of having 16,300 screaming fans in AFH for the first exhibition in October!

@FarmerJayhawk I have zero doubt the staff will inquire.
If they haven’t already! Get your FaceTime ready, Coach H.

I’m kind of meh on this. There aren’t really any details to speak of yet. If the report is bad, we’ll deal. If it was a misunderstanding LSU just made go away, fine. Wouldn’t be the first time a current KU coach had allegations of impropriety with a woman not married to him.
Dave makes a gimme dunk and the front end of a one and one and it's moot. We wouldn't be in the game period without Jalen playing legit minutes at the 5
CB HORSE champ 2021
No burger boys in our class. Expected but bleh. Always like to have at least one on the roster.
I won't put an absolute ceiling on us because you never know if the bracket will absolutely fall apart in front of you, especially this year. I think we're probably the 10th-15th best team in the country though with Bryce back. The last stretch here will tell us for sure.
I like it on paper. Losing Chidera sucks but Wallace obviously wasn't cutting it at ST. KC ties is a bonus.
UPS!!
If I wanted to see zebras I’d go to the zoo
Dave gets stripped on the way up more than any player in the history of humanity and probably other species

Bill is fully erect
@benshawks08 said in Buckets Game Thread:
This isn’t supposed to happen in Allen. Refs need a talking to.
WEF is in rough shape I guess
What the what
SNIPER!
Jalen. Elite rebounder.
Marcus the closer
Bryce’s motor is always at full tilt. Tristan not so much
Would be newsier if anyone liked the guy tbh
Coach Chidera left for SMU. Look for an internal promotion.

Like how is Adidas not landing this dude for KU? I'm so serious. How is a life-long Kansas native, where was KU his second offer and first P5 offer, not put on the Adidas payroll?
We’re not playing in that sandbox until the NCAA stuff is over. I would be floored if we got Mitchell
Dictating this because I gouged my eyes out
Given we offer anyone with a pulse, Bill must not like him that much.
@Marco said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Question, is Baylor a Nike school? They are starting to seriously recruit, and me no like. Is Tech an Under Armor school? If so, and if Beard ever decides to leave that would probably be one of the biggest reasons.
Yes to both. Baylor has a nice pipeline going right now and Drew has always been able to recruit.

I remembered what you told me awhile back, it's bothered me for awhile. Gov. Kelly is taking the heat for the DOL not getting checks out. Everything has been a nightmare with that system! She gets all the blame. They've tried to duct tape it up🤣 numerous times.
Oh jeez, that freaking computer story again! State IT infrastructure is maybe the least sexy issue in the history of the state buuuuut it's also one of those basic things we need to get right as a functioning Government. And very unsurprisingly, the legislature hasn't been interested. Another fun fact. The state's contract database is still in DOS. Any business that operated like this would be out of business and maybe criminally liable. It's just bonkers!
File this under "things could be A LOT worse." Jalen Johnson opted out of the rest of dook's season to prepare for the draft.
My sister lives in south Louisiana and she has about 1” of ice. Not great
@approxinfinity said in All Politicked Out? Election 2020:
@FarmerJayhawk thanks for this.
No problem. Always enjoy the conversation and banter!
For real though. Rocket, Braun, Ochai, Wilson, Dave starting. Thompson, Harris, Curry off the bench. TGF, Enaruna, Clemence as break glass guys. #nut. Going to make this on 2k8. Will report back.
Right? I think KU will list them as sophs but they can use the extra year at the end. Bryce probably won’t but I think Harris does. Harris and Wilson will be elite old dudes freshmen lol

Oh boy. Rocket can get buckets but he's not a finished product by any means
was this someone KU was in on originally ?
We sniffed but weren't apart of his final list or anything.
That was a bummer. Rocket was Billy’s luuurve crush that summer. He’s got some Frank in him.

Blair Academy has had a couple games. Cuffe showing off good form from 3, blocking shots with his elite athleticism. Really hoping this kid can reclass and join 21
I’ve kind of forgotten about him. Oops. I don’t think they’re pushing as hard for a reclass now given we get free agency this off-season and the covid waiver situation. Might be just as well off leaving him on ice for another year. Might not want 3 freshmen combo guards on the roster next year.
@BShark ayyyyyy. Lets goooooooo
@approxinfinity he’s been consistent there. He voted aye on Paul’s motion weeks ago that it was unconstitutional. He voted that way again right before the trial. He said as much again today. I think he’s wrong, but I think he’s sincere about it. Put another way, if this vote was a month ago I have little doubt he’d vote to convict, as would at least 9 more Republicans. His office was leaking like a sieve in January he may even be inclined to convict. They were putting out the signal that A) House get it together and let’s do this thing B) I won’t whip a no vote so everyone vote their conscience.
McConnell was LIVID at the White House for costing him the majority in Georgia. Like white hot, Biblical fire and brimstone, bask in the lamentations of women, fanatical rage at Trump for Georgia. He wanted his pound of flesh from the Biden administration on appointees. Like sorry Joe, no Neera Tanden (an objectively awful human) at OMB. No Xavier Bacera at HHS. Get to dictate to Biden what big legislation looks like, especially given the House is a trash fire. It was going to be good to be Majority Leader! But nooooo the Trump/Wood/Powell/Rudy gang of clowns had to spend all that time in Georgia telling folks the election was stolen and the runoff was a lost cause because Hugo Chavez was going to install Ossoff and Warnock from the great beyond. Just incomprehensible stupidity. Then listening to both his speeches on 1/7 and then today, it’s obvious McConnell still has the fury as hot as 1000 Suns for Trump and if he dropped dead tomorrow Mitch would probably have himself a nice Kentucky bourbon.
@approxinfinity said in All Politicked Out? Election 2020:
@FarmerJayhawk my point though is that McConnell wanted to impeach a month ago before his party rallied around a position that didn't repudiate Trump for fear of alienating his base. You know he wanted impeachment, because you posted about it. His constitutional argument now is merely a convenience, because he's decided to save his own sorry ass the next election cycle.
You may call this politics. I call it self serving cowardice.
I think you're avoiding my point, and we can move on.
I'm doubtful that under any circumstances under his control, Schumer could have convinced 10 more Republicans to vote for impeachment.
I’m 100% convinced had the House acted responsibly, Trump would’ve been convicted. Dithering for a week then wasting more time in sending over the article (the Senate can accept them even in pro forma) stalled out any momentum. And there’s a legit constitutional argument about whether you can convict a former President. You can call it a cop out, fine. But not like it’s a radical position. McConnell could cure cancer and you’d still hate him, I get it. I’m not avoiding your point, I just disagree with it. Schumer probably couldn’t, but I guarantee there would’ve been 10 more had the House not screwed around for 3 weeks. Which is why it was so important to do it quickly. You have to strike while the iron is hot in politics. Moods change. It wasn’t a complicated article to draft. D’s are just so incompetent they couldn’t even do the most simple thing right. They act quickly and there is no escape hatch. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me at all if they didn’t really care about conviction because they’d love for Trump to be the GOP nominee in 24. Their actions don’t exactly scream otherwise.
@approxinfinity said in All Politicked Out? Election 2020:
There's a difference between saying the right thing and doing the right thing. His vote speaks way louder than his words. This isn't an opinion, imo. It's a vote. His opinion is that he was guilty. So vote guilty. It's really quite simple.
It’s a constitutional argument. He doesn’t think it’s constitutional to convict someone who’s left office. I don’t agree, but there’s an argument for it. It’s not a cop out to assign blame wherever I see it. Plenty to go around. McConnell was wrong and Schumer can’t run the Senate out of a paper bag. They totally blew it.

I don't understand. He thinks the legal system will examine whether Trump incited an insurrection? If that's his reason, then it looks like more than a disagreeable conclusion to me. It's a complete reversal of his position a month ago. A complete lie: because he couldn't get the votes, he made up a reason for not voting for impeachment so he didn't have to be on the record doing the right thing.
The turtle recedes into his shell.
Bingo. If you read his statement it’s clear he wants this handled in a criminal court and then by voters. I disagree with him, but that’s his opinion. 🐦 View Tweet?s=21
I’m more furious at Schumer and the House managers for not calling any witnesses and drafting a shoddy article. He could’ve gotten some R’s on the fence had he called McCarthy or Pence. Shoot, he had a SITTING REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN ready to testify and he just was like nah I’m good. You had House R’s on the record saying yeah I could vote for a more general article but not a criminal indictment. It’s amazing how consistently awful at this they are.
