Notwithstanding what others thought and said during his tenure, I loved LL. He wasn't the most talented nor the most athletic, but his heart is trophy-worthy.

Wonder who picked up that tab!!? Pretty cool stuff though.
Article says "hosted by Self" which to me means he picked up the tab!
Now here's a party I want to attend:sparkling_heart:

@FarmerJayhawk FanSide's offerings are pretty wretched and I rarely look at it. The headline on this one caught my attention , and the content did not surprise:open_mouth:
@jayballer73 I originally posted the Fanside article in Eartly Discussion: NonConf Schedule thread. @FarmerJayhawk gave a terrific response/rebuttal to the article in his reply to me. I think if you go back and read it, you'll understand why Coach Miles took the action he took. The Fanside article appears to be based on a very cursory look into the matter without bothering to find details of what happened and of the punishment/penalties imposed on Pooka. Please read it - you'll feel better.

Watching the hayseeds and national virtue signaling “press” corps spin this as an insult tells me all I need to know about how KU handled it.
@FarmerJayhawk I assume this is a good example of what you're referencing:

@approxinfinity Thank you so much for all you do. I visit this site multiple times most every day. Love the site and my fellow bucketeers:heart:
Qwissox I also got that message. I kept going back and trying to get on and it finally came up.

@BShark Very touching story. Thanks for posting the link.
If Marsha doesn't find a shooter to replace Teddy Buckets, WSU is not looking good.
Nice article on Wilson: https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article231695353.html? ↗
From the article:
Self, when talking earlier this week, did nothing to lower expectations for Wilson — one of the top-rated recruits in the Jayhawks’ 2019 class along with Tristan Enaruna.
“He gives us size, he gives us toughness and he gives us skill,” Self said. “He’s not going to wow you like some people may think, like Josh (Jackson) could, from an athletic standpoint and quick-twitch standpoint, but he just knows how to play. He’s a winner.”

Ahhhh, I don't like greggggggg! I do feel for teddy buckets, he has some problems! He needs some help. Not really sure about his history, but Huggs sent him out the door, too. He's definitely a good player.
I posted in another thread a linkk to an article that gave a bit of background on him. Per the article, he's from Arizona but completed high school at Boys Town in Nebraska, so he was obviously a troubled kid prior to Huggy taking him at WV. I remember when he transferred to WSU, he tried unsuccessfully to get the NCAA to waive his "sit" year. The NCAA did allow him to travel with the team last year, but the article said he had stopped doing that. The WSU fans were heartbroken when the "sit" waiver wasn't granted and were really looking forward to having his scoring ability available this year. Too bad for the kid. I hope he can get his life turned around. As for WSU, I think this dismissal leaves them in a tough situation, and for me, that's a good thing:clap_tone2:
@BeddieKU23 He's been dismissed from WSU.

Looks like Teddy Allen, a/k/a Teddy Buckets has gotten himself into a big-time jam.
@KirkIsMyHinrich You're a brave soul to have wadded through that document: :nerd:

Given how RJ and his Dad played this, I think KU dodged a big-time bullet.

No info we didn't already know, but some nice remarks from KT
@mayjay Thanks for weighing in. It's good to read your words. We miss you and look forward to your return this Fall. Best wishes for a great summer:swimmer_tone2: :beach_umbrella: :relaxed:
@BShark What does RJ's Dad have against KU?

@dylans usually it doesn’t rain in western Kansas unless there’s a 150% chance lol. It probably won’t rain again til September now.
Yep, in September - just when everybody's trying to get wheat planted:anguished:
Does anyone know if the conclusion of this trial brings this whole matter to an end, or will there be more trials?
@FarmerJayhawk LOL!
@BShark I don't know how Squeaky gets any one to K-State. Don't those kids realize they're going to have to listen to him:anguished: :anguished:
@DCHawker This is such a great idea. Please keep this board posted on the progress!

Is he a projected 2 year guy? Or 3 year?
Please don’t tell me he’s a OAD.And what do you call guys like grimes? DOAD? (Delusional one and done)
I think we need a new acronym for Grimes: DAD (Dud and done)

This is still all hearsay right?
I guess technically but how many people need to say the same thing before its no longer such.
Book has said he made 250k and was paying players with his retirement.
Dawkins has said he had unlimited reach to the program including practices.
Book on tape with Dawkins discussing paying Rawle Alkins, Quinnerly, Deandre Ayton among others.
I think I recall someone who I think is a lawyer posting that the information obtained via the wiretaps is considered by the court as hearsay. If that is the case, the number of times the information is repeated has no effect on the court's position.

Do we know Silvio hasn't improved his game away from the basket?
He got to participate in practice didn't he? I understand practice isn't in-game experience, but one can gain/improve skills in practice.

It is odd.... giving millions of bills every year to receive just one Bill. ;)
It may be odd, but it is soooooo worth it:gem:
@jayballer73 Jimmy Butler spent his freshman year at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, TX and then he was offered by Marquette where he played his sophomore, junior and senior years.
@BShark It says in the Comments section that Duke doesn't have any scholarships left to offer. Do you know if that is true?

Any details you can share?
This is from the Wichita Eagle:

Among other information, it quotes the guardian as saying he did not agree to accept $20,000 to steer SDS to KU
@nuleafjhawk When you take the job, I'll root for you except when you're playing KU:smile:
@Crimsonorblue22 Thanks for this info!
@dylans Thanks. @Crimsonorblue22 When you think the time is appropriate to ask your friend, please post your findings or message me.
@dylans Thanks. What does this new ESPN arrangement mean for the games some of us have been able to get on the Jayhawk network (Cox 22 in Wichita)?
Can you stream ESPN+ on an iPad or iPhone?
@benshawks08 I wish absolutely everyone in the world was required to read Korver's essay. I join @Crimsonorblue22 in thanking you for sharing.
Vegas has the Virginia/TTU over/under at 118 with Virginia expected to win by 1-1/2

@benshawks08 I glad you mentioned the need to fight school privatization. So many people seem to support the idea, and I find it hard to believe they don't realize that children with disabilities would not be served in at least the majority of private schools.
The principal at the public school I went to wanted to force out the mentally handicapped kids for crying out loud.
OMG:anguished:
