Dave is headed for another game here as a non impact starter. How much more can it take
Honestly I’d rather start Silvio at this point
Moss is food from a microwave. Sometimes hot on the outside but mostly mediocre

Taylor got us to the title game. If Garrett ever gets that far then compare away
They’re wildly different players. I don’t see the comparison at all

I can understand some Garrett/Tyshawn comparisons, but I feel a lot more comfortable with Garrett at this stage than Ty
Tyshawn “F it the guy in the 4th row is open” Taylor

Ha! Haven’t written for them in years. Parted ways when they wanted more opinions, fewer facts.
This lineup. PANIC
Soft on UPS
If Garrett plays this well I’m content with PG next year

Agbaji back to shooting it with terrible form
He’s so bad off the bounce
@BShark we good
Noted offensive juggernaut Nova has scored 11 points through 10 minutes at home to noted defensive power DePaul
Hahahahahaha f*** dook
About middle of the league now. Increasing those capabilities was one of Long and Les’s main goals last offseason.
Can Canadian psychology professors coach safeties?

I was going to say, if Hinch isn't fired than I don't see the deterrent here.
Cora is about to have an anvil dropped on his head from the top of the Empire State Building.
Would just be to sit a year and forfeit his salary, which I assume is substantial but haven't looked it up.
Oh yeah, I can't see Cora surviving this. Not only did he lead it in Houston, he carried to to Boston AFTER MLB said explicitly to knock it off or there will be severe sanctions.
Aaaaand now they're fired. AL West just got a lot more competitive long-term.

Hinch and Luhnow suspended for a year, $5m fine, no first or second round picks in 20 and 21.
MLB really sending a message to not cheat.

@FarmerJayhawk remember the smiley kid playing the piano at late pm? Did his trouble start here?
For sure! It might’ve. I didn’t know any red flags out of HS but we all know people who started getting into trouble in college.
Crimsonorblue22 said:
@FarmerJayhawk he really does need help, I hope somebody reaches out! He has some talent to make him some money, but he needs to fix his life first.
For sure. I know he’s a good kid at heart, just needs to address his issues. For basketball and beyond.
And UNM dismissed him. It’s obvious he has issues. Hopefully he can get the help he obviously needs. Always was such a nice kid when I’d see him around Lawrence those years ago. Very good pianist as well. Heard him play a few times at the Union. What a waste.

@FarmerJayhawk Heard the staff had been still looking recently. Does this mean they now expect everyone (sans Dotson) to stay?
They always look in case something pops open due to a transfer or whatnot but there’s not really a specific guy they’re really hard after as of today.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Some observations, the first five directed at your posts -
David McCormack, 15-footer, "third option": I'm telling you, your suggestion is absolutely absurd. There are sometimes that one "fact" provides that demonstration. You just claimed that for our offense, Dave McCormack shooting a 15 footer should be our "third option." You rely on the further absurd claim that he could shoot 60-65% on those shots. But you will believe what you believe. And you know you're right.
Traditional Offenses: We have two "centers" -- Dave and Doke. We don't have a power forward. "Traditional" basketball -- traditional offenses -- have a "center" and a "power forward". Not two centers. In most "motion" offenses -- meaning with two bigs -- a major weakness is the inflexibility of a traditional big when that big is extended. It's an attack point for defenses. That's because the "center" does get extended around the lane area. Because you never concede anything, I don't expect you to acknowledge this. We have two centers on the floor.
Snap your fingers, install an offense: I didn't cherry pick. I read your post. I moved past the ridiculous suggestion of a "traditional motion offense" at this point. And it is ridiculous. I guess, here's what we do, according to you. We just install in mid-January a traditional motion offense. Just install it. Now. Snap your fingers. You are aware of practice limitations, I assume. Should I assume that you are aware of the complexity of motion offenses? Motion offenses involve multiple intricacies, options, decisions, and then reactions to those decisions -- all that have to be made with a real motion offense. You know, ones that are used at the college level. Not some of the claimed "motion" offenses that are used teaching middle-schoolers. Real motion offenses take time time to learn and time to teach. I would compare it to 2015 when Self put in a bare-bones, ridiculously simple 4/1 offense. It won us one game (OU I think at home) but after that, when teams had seen it in on tape, it was largely ineffective -- it was quite rudimentary. Kind of like our "bad ball" abomination. As shift on the fly deal that was a disaster.
Defense: Do you plan to change our defense to a zone? Do you think that Dave and Doke can do the trick? This is perhaps not a fair criticism. The way Self defends, his priorities, make it very difficult to play both together. If we pretty much permitted the 15 footer out to just inside the arc, it would make the job of our bigs easier, even if both were on the floor. They would know they had no responsibility in that range to prevent a shot. Self's defensive philosophy makes this very hard. And, of course, we know that Self will react to good 4/1 offenses and guard them with our 4/1 personnel. So there is that reality.
Timing: You may be right about the best offense. You might be. But the timing makes it impractical. If you're saying that such a move NOW would be the best option, I strongly disagree given the complexity and the fact that a rudimentary offense (I think) will make us worse. That's what I understand you are saying. If you say we would be best with this type of offense (meaning if we had run it from the start), that's more of a discussion I think.
Silvio: @approxinfinity is right. Silvio is our only true 4 guy. He'd be the only one that would work in the hi/low. I mentioned a question of whether we'd be better with Mitch and Doke right now. Meaning, Dave redshirted and we have Mitch. I know Mitch has a somewhat obvious ceiling, but I personally think they dynamic would be better. And Mitch is quicker, can guard smaller guys, and of course, blocks shots. Not saying that Mitch starting is a good thing, though.
4/1: I agree with @approxinfinity on this as well. I think it's best that wego all in on the 4/1 and run with it. I would start Braun. Make him the chosen. Let the chips fall where they may. That seems like the most realistic solution at the moment.
Guard the line: Much like with Agabji and needing him to perform, if we don't attack and actively guard the line, all of this discussion is moot. We aren't winning the NC giving up open threes as a matter of course.
Newell: Just an observation, but he seems to have been right on the Baylor game. Obviously he was mocked by some for having the temerity to pick against KU.
FWIW I mock Newell because his columns are barely C level work. He doesn’t demonstrate he understands what analytics are or the difference between association and causation. Making causal arguments from descriptive statistics is journo level garbage. He just doesn’t understand how to draw causal inferences, which is fine since he’s a journo and not an econometrician but he needs to own that and stay in his lane. Let the quants for their thing and leave the maths to folks who get it.

So if I’m an opposing coach, I would want the ball in Dave’s hands 15 feet from the basket every possession. So there is that. Dave can’t put it on the floor and drive. Dave can’t pass. Dave fumbles the ball around when there is any pressure much of the time. Dave shooting from 15 feet would make any sane opposing coach happy.
The 3/2 is dependent on Silvio somehow becoming the player we expected, OR possibly playing a guard, like Brain, as the “high”? The latter simply spit ballin’.
Silvio sucks at this point, simple as that. I also never said anything about McCormack needing to put the ball on the ground. 15' is about the extent of his range so if opposing coaches are giving him that, I'm telling him to take that shot every time he's left alone there because he's going to hit that shot about 60-65% of the time from there. If opposing defenses never adjust to that, then McCormack ends up with some 20 point games on a good night. If they do adjust, then the lanes open up for the guards to drive and the paint opens up for Doke down low.
As a basketball coach, I was told to not adjust your line up to the other team, especially if you had the superior talent which KU does against just about everyone on their schedule. You stay in your lane and force the other team to adjust to you and KU's current roster isn't suited for a 4 guard offense because of the lack of shooting. It's suited for a traditional offense with 2 traditional bigs and Self needs to fully embrace bully ball to make that run this year.
If Silvio doesn't come back next year he is a fool, but to honest - call me callous - I'm not sure that I want him to come back. Enaruna needs to play more next year (probably should play more now, but - you know Bill - it's not going to happen).
I for one want him back. He’s a great kid and talented player. We certainly need the depth up front. Dave and Mitch aren’t exactly making me excited. Not sure where the scholarship would go either. 2020 recruiting is done barring a surprise decommit.

@kjayhawks I've been to 2 games this yr, the place was crazy! Before this year I got to go to probably 6-7 games a year. Always loud and fun! You are just full of it and I'm calling you out!
They've rearranged the student section in recent years so AFH definitely isn't as loud as it was because they've put more high dollar donor seats closer to the floor and pushed students further up the bleachers.
Yep. The KU Senate reneged on their deal with KUAD to pay a fee and keep the section on the floor and lost that section on the sideline.
79 76 Clemson. At least we aren’t Carolina?
UNC Clemson in OT at the Dean Dome. UNC is so, so bad. Clemson is 0-59 at Carolina.

Yes. Boo’ing your own team is a trash fanbase thing to do
that's what you call real class fans huh Farmer . - -fricken idiots
Yup. I never even boo’d KU football in all my years at KU even when they’d be down 40 at half. They’re college kids and I’m just a rando in the stands

No. Look at 2020 and 21 recruiting. All smalls.

I’m turning it off, the hell with these lazy no good fart knockers. I’ll bet anyone this team goes home first weekend again in March. If we fire the coach that put 2 bigs back when we had the lead and Mo, does the NCAA go away? Asking for a friend.
Woooooooow
