@BeddieKU23 Brannen is having hip surgery!?!? Omg. Well now we know why his trey gun trailed off after mid season. Wonder if he would be eligible for a medical red shirt if he isnt "better" by the start of the season?
Sounds like we will absolutely need Perry at the 3 during the World Games.
Thorne would be eligible for us. Hope we get both guys and Ingram or Brown.
@globaljaybird Yep, the twitter verse is blazing about Perry coming back. Its official now.
So now we need to get Diallo in here and maybe Ingram or Jaylen. ROCK CHALK FINAL FOUR!
@dylans Im of the opinion that the KU 08 team could beat any KU team since Roy took over up to the present time.
But, if Collison and Hinrich were added to the '97 team? Wow.
@drgnslayr Fibonacci sequence. Its a line of numbers where the first and second digit added together equals the third, and so on. 4 8 15 16 23 42. I know thats not exact but its my favorite.
@Statmachine Ohhhhhh reeeaaally?
@jaybate-1.0 HA! Geeez, imagine the eggs thrown at Cal's house if he ever moved to Larry town.
@wrwlumpy Whoa!! That game room is awesome.
@JayHawkFanToo Wilt!!!
@wrwlumpy Beautiful! Inspiring too. If anything can give us a leg up in the battle for recruiting with Nike stack programs, this is it.
@dylans For a while now, I have wondered about George Lucas and his motivation for putting that scene. I mean was he just messing with the crowd? I wonder what his intended message was there.
@dylans Kind of like when Leia kissed Luke in Empire Strikes Back?
@jaybate-1.0 It takes a genius mind to connect infinite mathematics, space and White Castle
@jaybate-1.0 Avon products?

"Where is he playing now??"
Up in Canada.
"Any word on what KY is making?"
Probably being paid in Elk jerky and beaver pelts.
French fries and gravy too.
@JayHawkFanToo He is reloading but now one of their big gun recruiters is gone to greener pastures at St. Johns. How can that be greener? And, what does that mean for next years recruiting at UK? Decline perhaps? Flat out tail spin?
@HighEliteMajor True, we do need that now. Self's best teams here have had that one big guy that can do all that.
@Crimsonorblue22 Beeeeeeeead!
@jaybate-1.0 Would it be feasible for Coach Self to run different offenses during the World games this summer? Specifically, triangle, horns and whatever else KU's roster could handle
@HighEliteMajor I think you just answered your own question.
All he needs is one move.
Surely the coaches at KU can give the kid more than just one move.
@HighEliteMajor Well, your one of the better basketball minds on here. If anyone should know, it would be you. I'll add my two cents anyhow.
All I have seen from Diallo was the Jordan game the other day. I dont recall seeing much back to the basket scoring from him but his presence was definitely noticed on both ends of the court. Imo, his team was better with him in the game. He'll bring that to KU if he decides to.
@drgnslayr I saw that game as well and came to the same conclusion. Diallo is a stud. We need him.
Oh boy do I hope Kensucky gets hammered too. Wouldnt it be even greater if they miss the NCAA's again and get bounced in the NIT?
@REHawk My mind set is, you can't lose what you dont already have. Regardless where Oubre gets picked in the first round, he's gonna be set for life if he is smart with his money. I think he'll be able to contribute pretty well his rookie season, somewhere around what Ben did his rookie season.
@drgnslayr Huh. Solid post. I guess Im not worried if Oubre will stick or not. Ben and Wigs are doing just fine and I see Oubre being in between those two, in terms of upside.
@jaybate-1.0 I asked @Jesse-Newell to check out Sherron vs Mason. Wonder if he is? At any rate, I am glad to see that post. Frank is a stud.
@Bosthawk I think we all have to be patient. After the podcast I just listened to, which is a week old, everybody is waiting to see what Kensucky does. We already know they lost 7 guys, But its wait and see until late this month, maybe into May.
@jaybate-1.0 Jesse Newell has this podcast with The Shiver.com, just heard some good things about Brandon Ingram to KU as well. Its not set, but KU is still in the mix with Ingram and Malik Newman.
@drgnslayr Awesome photos!! Kevin's fro is looking righteous. Where is he playing now??
@jaybate-1.0 We're getting Diallo and Thorne?? It would be awesome to get Jaylen but do we need him? Svi is gonna make a huge leap next season.
@wrwlumpy Huh, that guy makes a good point. But, conversely if Perry wont change his draft stock no matter what he does. Why not come back another year? Getting picked in the second round is no guarantee at all. Your fighting for a spot on the roster with everyone else in the second round, free agency, etc. Perry is imo, too slow to be an NBA 3 and too small to be an NBA 4. Unless he gets picked by the perfect team, he'll end up as a D leaguer.
Maybe its just my bias, but I would like to see him on Senior night at KU.
@konkeyDong Just watched the replay of the Nike Hoops Summit. The World team was better on both ends with Diallo in there. Guy seems like a legit 6'9" got good timing for blocks, Not slow on defense at all. In fact, pretty quick as far as I can tell. Got some range to his shot too and great on the offensive glass.
We need this guy at KU.
@drgnslayr Yeah, eff that kid. What is this, a joke of some sort? A mockery he is making of college ball. Not that it needs any help at this point.
@HighEliteMajor HA!!!! That was a great one! Very funny stuff.
@jaybate-1.0 So you're saying its an hypothesis? ;)
@wissoxfan83 Dang, thats a lot of shoes.
@Crimsonorblue22 HA!
@brooksmd Wow, she is one gorgeous girl!
@Crimsonorblue22 Good luck to The Mayor!! link text ↗
The Mayo Clinic is ranked #2 in the country according to US News and World report for this exact thing. As a whole, Mayo is top 5 or 10 in the country as per the same standard. Freddy will be getting the absolute best care possible. They will watch him like a hawk 24/7 until they are sure he is safe to discharge home. He is young. Just a few years older than me. People our age heal much faster and are more resilient to this type of procedure than most people who need it. They typically are over weight, out of shape, 20+ years older. I know he will be just fine.
NBA? Yah, Im doubtful that he does that. I know I said he could but why would he risk it? It is a much longer season.
@nuleafjhawk I dunno Nuleaf, this is @jaybate-1.0 's theory. It seems to hold credence based on the fact that Nike is a billion dollar industry giant and we all should know what follows money? Power. And what follows power? Corruption!!! Its that whole absolute power/corruption verse we've heard time and again. I think its very valid.
@wissoxfan83 Imelda? I dont get it.
@Crimsonorblue22 Ah, yah I was in KC up til last summer. I remember my college years and all the shenanigans we'd get into, then getting the "munchies" making a White Castle run. Good times.
@Crimsonorblue22 That is so cool! KU absolutely needs to do this. Hudy should be all over it by now, Im surprised she isnt. Maybe Self is putting the kabash on it?
@brooksmd Thank you Mr Cuban for saying that. Maybe those idiots running the NCAA will listen. Cuban might be an ass but he is a very intelligent one.
Now that I live on the east coast, I am a 4 hour-ish road trip shy of MSG. I hope to go see some live NBA action some day soon.
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
@jaybate-1.0 maybe it's the White Castle burgers
We dont have White Castle in Vermont. :(
@ralster He wasnt in the Harlem Shake video. Ben Mac was here then, Im pretty sure that was before Snacks' time. But, I do get your point.
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah, and their pinhead president or ad or somebody said that court storming should be legal, should be accepted. Forget the fact that its dangerous!
@jaybate-1.0 My question is this, the abhorrent foul calling and not calling in the tournament was so obvious, wouldnt the NCAA already have present knowledge about this situation? I mean, were they watching the games at all? I would hope so.
Which brings me to my next question. If they did have present knowledge of said above, would it be possible for them to have preexisting knowledge of it? What if they knew this was going to happen? What if they are involved some how?
If they are, then nothing will get done. They just want the ratings and the big $$$.
Again, Dr Naismith and Phog Allen are probly rolling in their graves right now.
@jaybate-1.0 Thats what Im sayin about the refs! The NCAA needs to fire every single one of them. Flush them all. This tournament was a joke from top to bottom.
@Lulufulu Well you guys, I did do 4 brackets. In my 4th one I had KU going much further than it did. That was all heart.
@ajvan Me too. Bet KU will pick up a couple more good pieces. Imo, we dont need any more wings, SVI is going to be a stud next season. Ess Tee You Dee. Stud.
Yes, it is true. I won our bracket challenge on ESPN. 97th%tile!! Solid work Lulu.
Why thank you!
