Jeff Withey said that he started to get better in the NBA when the game finally "slowed down," meaning it was much faster than what he was used to. I don't believe the game quite slowed down for Diallo in college to get the gist of it and now, it is finally slowing down some for him and he is playing better.
The Pelicans are out of the playoffs so they are resting the stars and evaluating the younger prospects.
Memphis fans are all over it indicating that they should feel at home at KU with all its recent issues.
Thank God we did not have social media when we were young...and stupid...
I bet that days like this Coach Self seriously considers retiring. :smiley:
Diallo has made 7 trips to the D-League where he has been playing almost daily and finally getting a hang of the game. Even if he would have played 40 minutes per game at KU, it still would not have been close to the time it has taken him to get where he is now.
Trier a lottery pick? I have not seen any mock draft that has him that high, most have him as a late second round.
Much like Devonte, the Tournament was an audition of sorts for the draft and both did not do well so they are back.
Bridges is projected in many mock drafts to be a lottery pick. If he is fairly certain to be a lottery pick, I just don't see him passing on the opportunity.
I have seen several Arizona games and no doubt Trier is very talented but is also an absolute ball hog. If I were a top player, I am not sure I would want to play in the same team with him.
I would say go with whichever is easiest to maintain. As long as we have a functional format, it really does not make a lot of difference which theme is used.
Thank you for the very clear explanation.
Could Kansas sue California for the ban it imposed on state schools? Interstate commerce could be invoked so it would likely go to Federal Court, right?
California almost passed a law making the entire state a sanctuary state but the threat of the Federal Government intervening and holding Federal funds stopped the process...for the time being. Interesting how a change in administration has changed the legal landscape as well including when the Federal government would or would not get involved, almost an 180 degree change.
I personally believe the Federal government should stay out of all state/local business and let the local governments/courts settle these local issues...unless they try to override federal laws.
It really was not a big deal nationally. I visit regularly with friends in both coast that are big college basketball fans and most did not even know about it or read it and just ignore it. The only publication that harped on it was the KC Star and we all know its agenda so it is really not a big surprise.
Think about it. How many serious scandals have there been with basketball players this year? Lots, and occasionally someone will mention it but it really is not discussed much. Unfortunately, modern society is pretty used to this type of issues and it is no longer that big of a deal. It is what it is.
I guess it boils down to whether he wants to be the big fish in the small pond or the little fish in the big pond. No doubt he would get considerably more playing time at ISU but the team is in full rebuild mode and should be middle of the pack at te best in the Conference. KU will be favorite to win the conference and will be top 5 all year but his playing time will be much less.
Shakur is the stereotype of the "tweener," not big enough to play PF and not good enough shooter to play SF. Yes, he played PF and even Center in JuCo but Division I is a huge step up and it is hard to tell how he will fare against better competition. Tilmon is bigger but younger and with zero college experience, probably a wash between them.
He is projected to be a lottery pick.
Coach Williams always shoots from the hip and this is not always a good thing. As Mark Twain said ...It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
I respectfully disagree. The magnitude of the case does not determine where the case is tried but who has jurisdiction, and in this case, it only affects State Schools so it would end up in court in North Carolina. The feds did not get involved when California banned State Schools from playing in other states...and California is considerably larger than North Carolina.
I saw the picture, mom does not look happy. I notice Josh changed his hairstyle, cornrows instead of the fro.
An embarrassment to the University? That is s little to harsh, don't you think?
Jackson did what many other stupid, immature college kids his age do all the time but since their names are not Josh Jackson, nobody pays attention or cares about it and their names are not on the front page of the sports section. I am not at all excusing what he did but I am not going to crucify him for it either.
Have you considered that maybe Vick was going to do something stupid and Jackson told him...you need your scholarship, I am out of here at the end of the year anyway, let me deal with it? A stupid thing to do but that is what friends do. If this was the case, would it change the way you think?
I am curious. What exactly should Coach Self do differently so you can sleep better at night? He has gotten his share of McD All Americans and 5 stars including Wiggins and Jackson who both were ranked #1. Yes, some players don't pan out but he has been great at picking lower ranked players that produced big time. All programs, even Kentucky and Duke, end up getting some players that work out and some that don't; look at all the transfers out of UK and Duke. Coach Self has been the master of getting lower ranked players that turned out great and picking up quality players when you least expected him. If KU does not pick up anyone else (I doubt it) in this cycle, it would have a very good class not only for next season but a great foundation for the next couple of seasons after that as well.
Maybe to you the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence but to me, the one we have is just fine. Also, remember that as the late Erma Bombeck said...the grass is always greener over the septic tank.
I don't know if I agree with you. Svi has progressed every year he has played and last season he was a pretty solid contributor and I am expecting his senior year to be a breakout year when he put every phase of his game together and has a great season. Sure, I would take a freshman like Josh Jackson but there are not that many Josh Jacksons out there so I rather have senior Svi over just about any incoming freshman.
I knew you could do it...:smiley: :thumbsup_tone3:
And the shoes...hardly used.

No lick. I did clear the cache from the option menu and did the reload both as you suggested and using F5 and also clicking on the reload page button at the top of the page.
Just did and reloaded the page and still no cigar...
I don't see them either.
Don't see emojis on Firefox only colons and letters.
Why would it go to Federal Court? it is a State issue that would be ruled by the State. Remember the State of California has a ban so State Schools cannot play in Kansas and a couple of other states. Legislatures holds the purse strings and they can mandate pretty much what they want. Worst case, it would end up in the State's Supreme Court and not Federal Court.
I believe the are are many legal way to provide financial assistance other than using a scholarship.
Riiiiiiiiight...laughing emoji goes here.
Sorry, I was probably answering a different post but I am having problems scrolling up without reloading the page.
Tharpe and Green were most likely asked not to come back because of the many issues during the season and the go pro was a way to save face. Svi has not had any issues and I would expect him to be an experienced and valuable rotation player if he comes back and I would take him over just about any incoming freshman. I just don't believe Coach Self would suggest a player goes pro unless he has assurance he will be drafted.
The NBA combine is by invitation only and if you are not invited it means the NBA does not believe you have a realistic chance of being drafted. Players can work out for individual teams but without an invitation to the combine, the chances of being drafted are slim to none.
Yes, I believe he visited MU last weekend. Knox will most likely go to Duke with an outside chance to UNC and UK. MU would seem a long way down from the other 3 programs but as you know, money talks...
I would be surprised if Tilmon does not end up at Missouri.
When I am on Safari on the iPad, if I turn to portrait mode the typing window display correctly minus the right display panel. if I run the iPad to landscape, the right panel display but quickly scrolls out of the screen and it is impossible to see what you are typing, changing the iPad back to portrait returns the single typing screen panel to focus. A real PIA to post from an iPad, seems to work a lot better.
I still have the refresh issue on all browsers where you select a thread from the unread list and click to go to the last position, takes you to the "last" post and I cannot scroll down any further; however, if I click the "reload current page" browser icon, then a bunch of new posts show at the current position. I will review my browser settings to refresh every time the page is accessed and hopefully it will fix this issue.
I have mentioned before that UNC was sandbagging the process while the basketball team had a decent chance to win the Title. Now that it has, I can envision the process moving faster and UNC getting sanctions that do not involve forfeit of the Title and, depending on the severity of the sanctions, Coach Williams probably retiring on a high note and leaving the problems for the next coach.
I have always been of the opinion that Tubby Smith is overrated. He was pretty much asked to leave Kentucky where he won one National Title in his first year with the Players and team Pitino left in place and as the recruiting went down so did the team which finished 6th and 4th in the SEC in his last two season.
After Kentucky, in 6 years at Minnesota he did not have a single season conference winning record and the highest he finished was 6th, in 3 years at Texas Tech. he did not have a single season conference winning record and the highest he finished was 7th and in his one season at Memphis he finished with a 9-9 record and tied for 5th. In other words, he has not had a single season with a winning conference records in the last 10 years and in 3 different conferences.
Not necessarily the coach you want to play for if you want to be part of a winning program.
Using iPad. Devonte's photo showed as a link, I hit the refresh/reload button and Devontes photo now shows.
Trying emoji. :s
Thanks for reloading my avatar.
I am getting the same thing on my iPad using Safari.
McLemore has impressed more than any other player for what he has done off the court after leaving. He has done a lot of community work and I understand he is taking classes on line and hoping to get a degree eventually. He has also been back to Lawrence often and has been a great ambassador for the program.
I really don't think Coach Williams would ever do this, he has been pretty loyal and respectful of KU. On the other hand, the other individual could do it, particularly if the word came down from the top to save UNC at all cost. The president of the University of Maryland indicated UNC should receive the death penalty...this is very serious...and desperate people do desperate things.
I use Firefox and it is having a hard time updating. If I go to an unread thread and go to the last previous post it goes there; however, if I hit the reload button, new posts are displayed that were not displayed before.
The emoji in my post above did not display when I submitted even when it showed on the right test panel. I reloaded the page and it showed. I believe this is the same thing that happened with the image above, it does not immediately display but does it when you refresh the page, either by clicking on the reload icon or going out and back into the thread.
