Way-Too-Early List of the Top 2015-16 CBB Player of the Year Candidates
jaybate I would debate you about this topic but I am in a foul mood and would come off looking like an ass. Marital Bliss is all I got to say about that!
@dylans HCBS said they will have a month off before they start up practice.
@jaybate-1.0 Name the 4 stacks? There are not 4 teams with stacks of 5 star talent in the NCAA.
Might have to switch Vick and Svi?
Imagine scrimmages with
Mason vs Graham
Svi vs Green
Selden vs Vick
Ellsi vs Bragg
Mickelson vs Diallo
Use any order you want but it would be a battle non the less during practice each and every day!
@jaybate-1.0 Graham has to scrimmage against Mason in practice every day. If you have to guard Mason on a regular basis then I would put my money on Graham being better. Who better to go head to head with on a daily basis than Mason?
@Crimsonorblue22 I honestly thought the last 2 coaches would come in and turn our program around! I was wrong. I have fell out of love with new coaching hires because I bought in to the last 2 and I don't want to get my heart broke again with this new hire! He is going to have to prove it first! My heart cant take any more bad new coaching hire relationships!
@clevelandjayhawk Just ONE post season appearance is just what KU football needs to bring fans back and bring back some excitement to our football team! It would bring in recruits, fans, revenue, and maybe a better Nike or Adidas contract? Now back to basketball lol.
@BeddieKU23 I saw Mason all over that stat sheet too!
Graham had a 20 point outing last year and could have a few more this season. Green had several games where he was on the cusp of a 20 point outing. Svi is all potential but I know he has been working hard. I read where he didn't even bring clothes when he came to the states other than workout clothes because he only planned on working towards his goal of reaching the NBA. Our back court is completely covered with Mason, Selden, and pick your 2 guard I will go with Graham along with the rest of you. I guess what I am trying to say is if One of our starters happens to have an off game we have guys that can step in and put up 20 pts. That's a good thing.
Our front court has Ellis as its offensive corner stone But with Mickelson showing improvement this summer and Diallo working hard to try to secure a starting role they should both improve some before November. Bragg will be nipping at Ellis' heals for minutes by conference play. This team is going to be so Awesome to watch! How can I make time go by until November? Hopefully KU football will surprise us all? I only hope so.
His coaches - whether at New American, in AAU, or at the Nike Hoops Summit - laud Diallo for the intensity and winning attitude that he brings to every game and every practice.
I like when coaches have these kind of things to say about you. This is exactly what HCBS said about Robinson.
After the WUG knowing we have 3 guys on the court that can flat out ball and then reading this story I am convinced KU is destined to win it all next year! KU has everything it needs to make it to April in 2016!

Getting some media over the WUG!
@clevelandjayhawk I wish!
I don't know where he found the time to write this piece with such intricate detail?
That just blew my mind! So insightful.
@BeddieKU23 I can assure you we will only see THIS Wayne for one season! We all know if he shows up for the 2015-2016 season like he did this summer he will be gone.
I sift through so much stuff that I never remember exactly where some of it comes from. I do post links when ever possible.
I read somewhere that there will be no banner. Bill Self said it if I remember right?
I don't know if it has been addressed but a few of the social outlets are calling Mason the real Captain America! That's pretty cool!

KU basketball team will be welcomed home at 7 p.m. Wednesday: http://cjon.co/1M6WXj9 ↗
@JhawkAlum They also found out he had trouble with his weight during the off season that year too. That didn't help him at all!
@HighEliteMajor during an interview Svi said he has grown some this year. I don't remember where I read it but I am positive I read it.
@TheDrunkenJhawk I know Mykhailiuk is supposed to be a draft pick but we haven't really seen anything that might suggest he is going to light it up for 20+ points as of yet. I hope he gets some pt but I think our rotation is going to be crazy this year and if BG has his mojo back Mykhailiuk might get buried behind depth?
Its a luxury to have 6 guys that could go for 20pts on any given night! Diallo, Ellis, Greene, Selden, Mason, and Graham could each score 20 pts and most of them are capable of a double double. The rest of the bench could reach double figures on any given night as well!
Cant leave Graham or Greene open either.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Exactly
If you go back and look again there are ALOT more posts. The UK fans are officially stirred up lol!
Someone predicted UK going 40-0 again. Then another guy said that the smartest guy in his trailer park predicted 40-0 too lol!!!!
Read this lol. UK fans complaining about our head start on the season and questioning why KU was picked and not them! Priceless!

For the love of God PLEASE take Selden out!
HOW MUCH TIME LEFT?
I should have told my work I was running late! Can someone post the score again?
SCORE?
In twitter news Ellis tweeted he got a black eye from the game this morning. Diallo sent out a tweet to pray for Embiids situation. I found that interesting. I am guessing he had more to do with Diallos recruiting than any of us know? I guess if things dont go well for him in the NBA he can come recruit and work with the bigs.
Did anyone notice Kelly Oubre had 20 points and 10 rebounds in his opener last night for the Wizards?
I set my alarm this morning and actually got my ass out of bed! It was worth it! I still cant get over how Selden has turned a corner and is looking like what I had envisioned when he was starting next to Wiggins! Lucas actually looked good several times. I like how Mason and company was able to accurately feed the post players. Its starting to look like a real KU basketball team.
@JayHawkFanToo He will probably have the same old boot camp. No trash cans needed!

I don't think our guys will arrive on campus this fall a month behind or out of shape!
@VailHawk Video games! Too much video games instead of going outside. More technical jobs more processed foods at the chow hall (cafeteria). Just a lot more things to do inside now days to pass time. I remember no computers, no video games, and 1 TV with 5 channels. Now there are 5 channels for cartoons! I will say that the combat training they receive today which is MMA based is far better than the basic warrior training we received when I first joined. Now days a fat guy in the USMC can clean your clock in seconds but if he doesn't he damn sure cant run from you lol.
When we play in the championship classic its going to look like a 1 seed playing a 16 seed in March. KU being the 1 seed.
During my time in the military the only people that got hurt were the people that did no conditioning outside of the weekly organized physical training our squadron forced upon us (which was week sauce). When it was time to strap on packs and go hike 75 miles in 3 days carrying a hundred lbs of gear the guys that weren't hitting the gym were the guys that were in the medical truck following the squadron. They should flat out run away from teams in November because of all of the added conditioning and training their getting right now!
