@Crimsonorblue22 I get the error "category does not exist" whenever I try to make a new thread in any section.
I have had a category that I posted so long ago that I forgot what it was originally titled that someone other than myself totally edited - turned it into some kind of non-legible rant. I cannot drink enough beer to write that badly.
By the way, I did not - no bullshit! - post this trash topic (just now saw it). Someone edited what I originally posted, which was so freaking long ago that I forgot what it was. If it were mine, I'd own it - but it is not.
@KUSTEVE Back from the wilderness, eh?
@Texas-Hawk-10 Neither do I.
@HighEliteMajor those teams were great, no doubt. But in the tournament alot of times it's about matchups and lucky bounces. If it weren't, as loaded as UK was there for a time, they would have won five or six consecutive national chamionships.

@BShark Doke is the best big man in college ball right now. His impact on both ends is unmatched. You literally have to double team him everytime he touches it or he scores. And he is blocking 11% of shots and teams are only scoring 81 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor. I don't know of any Bill Self player with a lower Drtg per 100 possessions ever.
If journos looked at more than just PPG, Doke would be in the lead for POY imo.
No doubt, is in bigtime shape. Wonder where he'll go in the draft? I realize that he's limited offensively, but man he is a beast. I see early second round, am I wrong.

@drgnslayr If you use the N word regardless of your race I consider you uneducated and simple minded. It’s insanely stupid, I feel the same way about the B word. A bunch of girls walk into a bar calling each other B****, it’s all laughs. Until someone else from the bar calls one of them that name, then there is a fight. Same story with a bunch of guys saying the N word.
Agree on all counts. How much do you want to bet that women who refer to themselves as bitches also treat themselves and are treated by others as such?

This led me to look it up. Very interesting (from Google):
"a member of a religious organization of robbers and assassins in India. Devotees of the goddess Kali, the Thugs waylaid and strangled their victims, usually travelers, in a ritually prescribed manner. They were suppressed by the British in the 1830s."
Lol! How dare you get all technical on us!

@Marco Guess that's what I get for trying to post at 2:30 in the morning! Sorry for misquoting you. Did you edit your post or was I dreaming that it said something different the last time I read it? Again, it was 2:30 so that is possible I was!
And no, it's not specific at all. It's quite muddy and vague at this point.
No, I didn't edit it. But guess what? We're good. I was just offering an opinion, as were you.
I would not play Jalen this year, if it were up to me. Let him get healthy.
@wrwlumpy Lol, skimping on us...

@FarmerJayhawk all that w/bad ankles!
Certainly the Axl Rose of the 19-20 Jayhawks
".... And when I'm havin' fun, you know I can't conceal it,,,, cause I know you're never comin' in my game,, oohh noooo..."
@BShark A legit shot to win it all, more than we've had in awhile.
@dylans Oh, no doubt about that.
@dylans You know, I saw some highlights of him not too long ago on ESPN. Is it just me everyone, or does he seem to be not very athletic? Maybe it was just the small sample size.
@BShark Not often that a player like that comes out of Nebraska. How we can get him.

@jayballer73 So I take it you don't agree with my opinion, my numbers, and the analysis of the last 30 years? I think that's what you're trying to say.
Actually, with Kobie, there's even a video called "never satisfied." It was something he was known for. Constant pursuit of perfection. I found this quote on Kobie without much difficulty from a Forbes article, "Throughout Kobe Bryant’s 20-year career in the NBA, he was known for his exhaustive work ethic and never being satisfied with his accomplishments despite achieving everything possible as a professional basketball player."
The highest of achievers are never satisfied. That's why folks that have started some of the largest companies don't just quit and retire on the millions. It's why some folks with talent don't make it. It's why some achieve greatness and some don't. But I sense that this doesn't resonate with you.
Kobe Bryant was an absolute assassin, never satisfied, and a bigtime pain in the ass for anyone that he played. That aside, however, I am pretty damn satisfied with what KU has achieved basketballwise in, say, the past 37 years.

For sure leaving: Lightfoot, Silvio, Garrett
Maybe: Ochai, Thompson, Jossell
So I think 5 (+/- 1) is a solid number to think about.
I could see a quick processing with Jossell as well.
I hope Thompson and Ochai stay of course.
Dream class is Kendall Brown, Hunter Sallis and a really good big. Probably super tough to pull Sallis if Garrett is the only guard we lose though. I want no part of the Zion Harmon circus.
Not sure what bigs we are realistically in on but we will need one at a minimum.
Jossell going pro, or him transferring? I would take that class in a heartbeat.

@Marco No word has a “very specific meaning.” Language is about a combination of denotation and connotation. Both are constantly in flux as languages blend and meld, grow and die. Don’t think anyone is saying don’t use this word or that but are instead making sure people understand the different connotations a word might have. Hate speech is still protected speech in America but that doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want without consequences. The words we use show who we are, especially on the internet where things like nonverbal indicators and tone of voice are wholly
I did not say very specific meaning, but yeah it's meaning is pretty very specific.

@drgnslayr The coopting of the word "thug" was done by the racists who used it as a code, not by the people who recognized it as it was happening. Many of us have used it innocently throughout our lives, but not resorting to using it because of its inflammatory context is a small price to pay for avoiding misunderstandings.
Here in SC, I have heard defenses of "boy" meaning any black man, and people who claim the n-word can be used by whites in general conversation as a term of affection. And many whites here seem to think it is important to note that someone is black when race has nothing to do with anything in the conversation. (2 weeks ago a retired Army Lt Col I met: "We went to our grandson's basketball game on Saturday. He always gets into the game but doesn't really try to score. They were playing a team of black kids.")
Racism is nowhere near going away. It does tend to be more subtle. But when it is more hidden, is it less dangerous--or more? And I agree hardly anyone wants to be called "racist", but why would they? "By their fruits ye shall know them" goes to character as well as faith.
And somewhere a black man and or woman might have been talking about the very same game that the Lt. Col's grandson was in while saying, "we were playing a team of white kids." Does that make him, her or both racist? Thug is a word that has a specific meaning - in general, not a big fan of policing a word just because someone has decided to co-opt it. I am also not big into thought-policing, find it to be very dangerous. Why? Because it means that a person wants to hear only one viewpoint or opinion.
I am going to invent a new product called OverSensitime, that way the entire nation can be given an enema and be able to get all of this shit out of their system.
Goodnight Jayhawk nation.

@BeddieKU23 Still no KU offer fwiw.
Where does he play?
Kansas City, #115 ranked player right now. He should rise.
Hunter Sallis probably the top target at guard, certainly mutual interest there. Sallis is big time
I think we have a solid shot with Sallis
I hope that we sign Sallis, he is a player!

Please forgive the ignorance. With everyone debating whether Wilson should take a medical redshirt or not made me wonder if Doke can take a medical redshirt for last year. He only played 9 games, and I was wondering what the cut off was for being eligible. Also, there's been discussions on whether he's even a fit in the NBA. Now if he technically can take a RS I don't at all see him doing it, I was just wondering if he's at least eligible.
Please keep rude comments to yourself if I'm just completely wrong on this. I believe that even when I disagree with people on here I do it with respect. We're all Jayhawks here.
I believe so. I think you can apply for a medical if you play <30% of possible games and the injury ends your season. Crazy he could get a master's and still be the age of a typical senior (assuming his listed age is correct, which is debatable).
That would be a major ruling, and once again he would be an unstoppable beast.... But (rethinking myself a bit) the big guy has an NBA (or elsewhere) future - he needs to leave after this season for his own benefit. He can still return to get his masters.

His lil trip around town had us miss mosses 3. Less talk
I'm sorry.
@approxinfinity Always after me lucky charms... "But who does #2 work for!!?"
BeddieKU23 said:
Been going through the Dajuan Harris tape. Hope we get an update on him at some point this season from the coaches. I really think he will be a solid backup to Garrett next season when needed. I'm excited to see if he is another diamond found
I like his length, passing ability and D.
Nice leg shot to end the game. .... Hot take lol
Boom.... Get Dave back next game. I like the second half (which is all I saw Lol).
How many games, so far, has Christian been our best player?
Go up strong.

@truehawk93 I think Braun will be better than Svi at least defensively very soon. Braun is a threat to Boschee’s 3 point record
Braun looks better than Svi to me. The biggest difference will be defense. Remember when Iowa State abused Svi on D for like 5000 straight possessions
Braun has been the best player in how many games now?
Hell, shoot me, but Braun might already be better than Svi.

Man, what will Braun be by senior year? Thoughts anyone?
A first team AA.
Braun reminds me of this guy
I think that Braun will be better. And I love me some Svi. Where is he now?
Man, what will Braun be by senior year? Thoughts anyone?

@Marco you aren't the only one, at least u admitted it

Remember that time we gave up a 17 point lead. Me neither I have dimentia
The drop-off when we put in Tristan is INSANE and Moss certainly has his issues as well. This is the best 5 we have, even when Dave is back but being able to bring in Dave to give Doke a breather will be nice.
I know, Enaruna seems to be regressing.
Oh,,,, by the the way, everyone.... I was bigtime wrong about Garrett.
BShark said:
Please shoot from that spot all game Anei.
Looking forward to Thompson joining next year, bigtime.

BeddieKU23 said:
There is little chance braun doesnt start next season so either a 5 star sits or yeah 4 guards
Garrett, Thompson, Braun, Agbaji, Dave.
Couldn't agree more.
I think that Moss will be fine, contributing on average one or two, sometimes even three threes a game, and on the defensive end. But he is not a volume scorer, whereas Braun is.
Boom Braun!
Feed the monster inside.
Man, guys, I hate playing Okie State.
