@justanotherfan Dude, cool line up, but no way Self puts Svi in at the 4.
@jaybate-1.0 Did you read my post in a flash sideways episode of Lost?
@jaybate-1.0 Not enough sleep looks kinda like Kung Fu Panda
@JayHawkFanToo I found Boulevard brews waaaaay up here in Vermont! I was shocked! I heard about it being here from a coworker of all places and had to check it for myself. Talk about missing a taste of home. I mean, there are tons and tons of microbrews in Vermont. Really good ones too. It was just nice to see something from KC.
@Texas-Hawk-10 (using my teasing kid voice) We're gonna kick their butts, we're gonna kick their butts, When they come to Allen Field house!
@JayHawkFanToo Yeah! I think had he stayed and had the opportunity, him and A.D. could have made one hell of a shot blocking rim protecting front court. The two best shot blockers in Div 1 the year of '12
@Statmachine Yeah, Graham is fine. Knew he would be.
@BeddieKU23 Ohhhh reaaaallly??? I did not know that. Very interesting indeed.
@drgnslayr LoL! "Pay no attention to that...."
@jaybate-1.0 I dont pay close attention to recruiting. I dont much care about recruits 2 years out from graduating highschool. Its only when they become Seniors that I even get a bit interested. But, your hypothesis does bear some weight for support in my opinion.
Data can be reflected anyway the computer sees fit. High school players, recruits can be categorized and referenced just the same. I bet that if you put even more thought into it, that a third category could be made.
@RockkChalkk Unless I am misunderstanding, wouldnt Mudiay be categorized under #2 category? Super good, shaky transcript, late signee, had to bail out to play overseas.
@drgnslayr I think I see Phog Allen hiding back there in the shadows of that curtain.
@drgnslayr OMG! Rolling on the floor!
@drgnslayr AHH! Thats so funny! :laughing:
Do we really want another Wayne Selden? A top 10 recruit that was a consensus OAD player coming out of HS that is still around as a junior doesn't exactly speak well for KU's ability to develop guards.
I seriously dont think you have to look very hard to find evidence of KU's ability to develop guards.
Off the top my head here's Chalmers, Collins, RussRob, Rush, Brady, Tyrel, Releford, Tyshawn, Wigs, Selden, Frank, Devonte, Svi.
My list included guys that made the NBA, guys that didnt but are playing elsewhere, and guys that are still "Developing" at KU right now. That word, develop, indicates time spent yah? Not just one semester or two.
Ok, so Wigs doesnt really qualify as develop but we got him and he was the first pick in the draft last year. Thats pretty significant to me.
@DanR The exception being that Selden wont translate to "The Truth" in the league. ;)
@truehawk93 Id love nothing more than to see Kentucky hoops go down in flames. I dont recall them having any issues with their "platoon" of OAD's getting qualified last season. I also call B.S.
@BeddieKU23 Well if we have to watch KU vs Kentucky without Diallo, then I hope Skal isn't cleared either.
@wissoxfan83 I'll go take a peek at it. Didnt he say basically the same thing though, regarding all the other times we've had to wait for the NCAA to get off its ass and do something?
@JayHawkFanToo Yeah, I think I remember that. Smart smart guy.
Why do the Cavs list him as 7ft? Pretty sure he was 6'11" at KU at that was KU, we all know how KU likes to add an inch or two to the height of a player. No doubt Kaun is a big guy but a footer? IDK about that
@HighEliteMajor Thanks for the updates.
@jaybate-1.0 Spam is quite the delicacy in Hawaii. Its all over out there.
@Texas-Hawk-10 OMG, that miss Mizzou chic just needs a missing tooth to complete the ensemble. I think I hear a banjo playing too. Wisky Tango much?
@Crimsonorblue22 Oh hey look, its a cake of the KU Boobs girl.
@jaybate-1.0 Im on board with that idea. Pretty sure Mike is from Portland? Either way, it gives us a possible avenue for bringing west coast talent to Larrytown. Again, I also wonder if Mike would be given a call by Ole Roy and have to pick between directing one of his kids to UNC or to KU. I think it would be hard to pick one over the other. I mean Roy was his coach too and it seems he might be loyal to Roy and Bill. Nike and Adidas.
@brooksmd Btw, Sasha must be a very intelligent person of both mind and body. He knew if he went to the league in 08 that he may not last long so he went to Russia to develop and make bank. Flash forward 7 years and now he can realize his ultimate goal with little risk.
@brooksmd Sweet! Way to go Sasha! looks like I'll have to keep watch on yet another Jayhawk in the NBA. #RCJHGOKU!
@VailHawk hope it was a good one anyways
@VailHawk Id be like, Thanks...Jerk. Oh and btw, Mizzou sucks and are a bunch of knuckle draggers.
@jaybate-1.0 I call B.S. Some of those coaches arent spilling the beans. Theyre holding back for fear of retribution.
@Crimsonorblue22 He needs to be a Jayhawk. Coach Self better not let this kid get away.
@Crimsonorblue22 Oops
@drgnslayr Oops
@drgnslayr Man, I dont know. I was certain he would be cleared up until today. Now? Im not so sure. We may not see him on the court this season. Id say the chances now are less than 50%.
Quite a slip from being absolutely positive on it huh?
@JayHawkFanToo 50! Yup, that needs to happen. And Coach Self needs to look over at Slimy Cal and say " Whatre you doing?" or some such thing.
Former Kansas University guard Michael Lee is new head coach at Portland’s Roosevelt High. This is according to the KU sports site.
I am wondering if he will get any kids he can swing towards UNC or KU? He isnt AAU so would that be similar at all? In terms of athletes talented enough to get offered by a high elite school like UNC or KU.
@Lulufulu Sooooo. should we all brace for not having Diallo this season?
Since Eubanks was deemed ineligible and not allowed to enroll at Bama AND went to the same school as Diallo.
Is it just a matter of time before the NCAA brings the hammer down on KU and Diallo?
Maybe I was wrong to think that Cheick would get cleared.
@RockChalkinTexas Travis!!!
@mihawk Yah, I saw that. He has size but can he play? He's a freshmen, He'll be shellshocked upon arrival to AFH>
@wrwlumpy Major dislike to the games that arent being aired! Not cool. Major bummer.
@wrwlumpy Im thinking KU being undefeated heading into the UK game is a definite possibility with or without Diallo. With him it becomes more of a certainty.
@konkeyDong Huh, thats pretty interesting.
@justanotherfan Kaun doesnt care about the money.
@justanotherfan Cant argue with that at all. Solid.
@brooksmd Im so ready for basketball that Id settle for NBA games. Well, that and Im curious to see what Golden State will do this season and what the Timberwolves will do too.
@wissoxfan83 yeah, even @jaybate-1.0 hasn't let loose with any new basketball prose.
Im totally jones-ing for the college bball season to start. Anyone else feeling it?
Heck, im excited to see the NBA again too.
@HighEliteMajor And you can be sure that nothing will stop him from giving back to his home town and country. He can help them as much as he wants to now.
Personally, I want to see him play ball and prove all the "bust" labelers wrong. But, I guess in the grand scheme of things, its insignificant.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Ohhhh. Well thats no good. Im still holding out hope that our boy can get back on the court some day.
@KUSTEVE Skal or no Skal, They're coming to AFH, which will be absolutely bonkers in there! Plus, we owe them one too so its a revenge game in our house. Our guys better bring it and show no mercy. Im betting they will.
