Scholarships don't have a specific year attached to them. The school can carry only 13 players on scholarship at any one time, regardless of whether they are freshmen, seniors or red shirts. If the school uses only 10 one year, it cannot carry the unused ones to the next year. It was lucky that KU had one left this year so Silvio can use it and he will be using one of the 13 next season as well.

I will be perfectly hones with you, I have no clue what your point is. I did not say Dixon was a bad coach; in fact, I said that I liked hm and he was better than Tubby Smith. Again, I am not sure why you are attributing to me opinions that I did not express.

I likened Dixon's situation to that of Tubby Smith because both had success initially but the programs seemed headed in the wrong direction, perhaps they became complacent and did not work as hard as before...who knows. In the end, both were close to be fired when they chose to leave; Smith was probably a lot closer while Dion another sub-par year away. I also indicated that moving to TCU was good move since it gave him a chance to start fresh with a program with nowhere to go but up. I am not sure what else I can add to it.

We both have opinions that at times are different and are just that...opinions, and unlike facts, they cannot be right or wrong just different. At no time I said you could not have an opinion or that you have to agree with me, I simply stated mine that happens top be different than yours and I still don't see what the issue is.

Please re-read my posts and if you have questions please don't jump to conclusions, just ask.

Since they played Gonzaga they haven't given up 70 points in their last 6 games. They recently were in a 47-46 slugger. It's going to be low scoring game unless KU controls the pace with its guards and finds a way to keep Bamba away from blocking everything.

Luckily we've played well in Austin lately, we've had some really good offensive games since Shaka became coach. Hope it continues

I will say right here and now, on December 27th that we WILL score more then 70 for sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt. - -did you see that 47-46 contest? - - that was one ugly , ugly ball game, Tennessee state - I think we are just a cut or two above Tennessee State and that was on Texas home floor.

It is hard to tell anymore who is a Center or PF. Some players that are listed as Centers can go outside and hit the 3 so they are really more Stretch PFs than Centers. Gobert and Jokic are really good.

Boy isn't that the truth. - -Could you of imagined , Ol Wilt trying to go to 3 pt line and shooting the three lol? times have changed in the game - -that's for sure ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
