GO BADGERS!!!!!!
What up guys! I'm in favor of Wisconsin beating UK
That sounds right. I don't think we were all in on him and he knew it so he went to Cincy
Nah he just drove off in his golf cart
I met Knight at a golf course in California in the late 90's and had a fun conversation with him for a couple minutes. Here's my recollection of the transcript:
VailHawk- coach nice to meet you.
Knight- hi.
VailHawk- I got to see you play in AFH when Damon Bailey had like 45 points.
Knight- yeah that freshman hit a 3 in OT to beat us.
VailHawk- yeah Jacque Vaughn...you remembered that?
Knight- well I didn't remember it till you GD brought it up!
VailHawk- sorry coach
I don't remember the recruitment of Wall and Rose...did they come to late night?
I forgot to mention Lance Stephenson
Admittedly, I don't follow recruiting very closely until we actually sign someone...then I go watch their mix tape to see how they dunk on 6' high school guys and AAU guys playing no defense.
Here is my short list of guys we missed on that I was bummed about.
Felipe Lopez.
Charlie Villanueva
Terrence Jones.
Kaleb Tarczewski.
Others?
This bored rat can argue it both ways!
Marshall's staying at WSU
For clarification, you were thrown under the short bus.
Why not Bruce Weber?
BOOM!!!
Agreed. And Self would most definitely agree with you. When he has his type of guys with 2-4 years in his system then you win the 2008 national championship. But I'm worried that w/out a change to the OAD system OR w/out a change in his offensive philosophy we won't be going back to F4's and winning titles.
Thoughtful, articulate and unfortunately right on the money. HEM, thank you for the education. My basketball IQ has doubled in the last couple years bc of you and so many others on this site.
Bill Self is a great ambassador for KU. He brought us a title in 08 that we absolutely needed and deserved after so many seasons we should have won it all (97 & 03, etc). However, he isn't infallable.
Couple questions:
-
Why do three point shooters come to Kansas? Every year we hear how great guys are at the 3. Jeremy Case was allegedly Ray Allen in practice. And most don't see the court presumably bc of poor defense.
-
Why do guys transfer? I'm not opposed to guys that transfer bc they know they're not good enough. But I have a hunch a few have transferred bc they realized they didn't fit Self's mold. AWIII and CF come to mind. Both have defensive limitations, but both could shoot the lights out when given the chance.
-
How much do we miss Joe Dooley? Wasn't he with Self since ORU? Losing his experience & mind and replacing it with Snacks might not be working out.
-
Offensive coordinator BRILLIANT!!! Bill Belichick knows how to coach. I'm a die hard Chefs fan but I recognize his brilliance. He knows football but also delegates as all great leaders do. So either Self doesn't have qualified assistants or he's not letting them do their jobs. It makes too much sense to hire an offensive coordinator to help broaden/tweek our offense. The 2nd half against WSU was awful. No motion and no effort to try anything different.
-
Lastly, I'm not in favor of replacing Self and I don't thing @HighEliteMajor or any rational human is, either. However, we all should recognize he can step up his game and evolve as a coach. His core philosophies are solid. Just be open to broadening his offensive schemes, make adjustments to fit his talent and win 2 or 3 national titles in the next 10-15 years. Does anyone think this is unrealistic at Kansas?
You mentioned going to Omaha last week....did you go see this debacle live yesterday?
Doesn't matter either way I'm just curious. I REALLY want to go to a ncaa tourney game but would prefer to see a win.
Ironically, I watched last man on Earth after the game and kept thinking "how has this not been cancelled yet?"
I'm actually not that distraught tonite....but below is a cool version of a classic Pixies song after our Hawks bow out earlier than we want.

Agreed! @Crimsonorblue22 is one cool lady hawk!
I feel for you! I'm thinking of skipping workout tomorrow cuz I don't want to see K-State grad from Wichita!!!
Kentucky, Arizona, Dook & Michigan State.
Good for ratings but not for me!
You're both right....and annoyingly he's still coaching this season for at least another week...
Agreed!
I don't think he wins the game for us but I would have given Hunter Mick all of Jam Tray's minutes.
And for that matter, SVI could have had all of Selden's minutes.
I LOVE KANSAS BASKETBALL!!! And this game doesn't change anything.
We had difficiencies this year in several key positions. And I don't think we played to our strengths (more 3's, please.).
I'm ready for the NBA to let the kids go straight to the league or make it 2 preferably 3 years out of HS before they turn pro.
I think HCBS is a teacher at heart and wants to teach everyone the "right" way to play. I don't see him acquiescing to the OAD's and letting them dribble drive or freeing the three...just don't see it happenin...
You're being summoned to Jesse's blog
I LIKE IKE!!! I'm ready for battle, too. Going to post on Jesse's blog like it's the last time I'll ever have the privilege.
Rock chalk Jayhawk go KU!!!!!!!!
That was cool thx for posting!
Are you going to the game?
Plenty of good seats available!
Badgers look good!
I think they're VERY similar style wise...but Sheron could eat more.
Our defense should win the game
But they always get so hyped to play KU?
I'm going with Bill Self in any and all trench warfare situations!!!
OSU oops
B12 is 2 for 2 today!!!
guess I didn't really read your post...who do we match up better? Don't think it matters with bad ball. @jaybate-1.0 back fill here
I TOTALLY CAN'T DECIDE!!! I want to beat WSU BADLY! But I'd rather lose to IU than WSU...but I'm glass is half full so I'll say WSU and then we ROCK THEM on Sunday back into oblivion!
Jayhawks (as usual) carried and inspired the B12's comeback on day 2. WVU looking good early...come on Bedlem brothers [YOU CAN DO IT!!!!](
I prefer KU wins
that was fun
Bet the French players are soft
Jesse is sitting on the right baseline and sneezed and it knocked Selden off balance
am i wrong to like that Laettner commercial?
NMSU is a fellow Adidas stack
Jesse's blog is off to a slow start...you all are rockin!!!
My iPhone using Chrome seems to work well
@Crimsonorblue22 I know, I love this group, too! I'm torn...but gotta stay w/ Jesse till after the game then I'll come back here...I'm a traditional guy!
