Sam Cunliffe: MIA • Jan 21, 2018 08:13 PM

Self isn't doing it though, for whatever reason. I kind of wonder if Cunliffe is going to transfer again. :/ :thinking:

Me too buddy. - -I was talking with some friends , and they were trying to figure how the roster was going to shake out next year , like possibly Mitch red shirting and ya da ya da ya da - -ya know? - We got to talking about who might and who might not be back - -and with the way the depth is going to be , kind of agreed that Sam might get buried - -again not really see very few minutes . - - - Sometimes hard to transfer twice -- -seems like a really good kid to me it's just the depth at his spot - -he isn't taking anyone's spot/starting for sure right?

I mean he playin in the back court role -well look at the possibilities there if that's where he is at. - -you look , you gonna have Moore , Dotson at the #1 - - You got Grimes and Garrett at the # 2 right? - -I seriously don't believe - -well he is not going to play the point for sure so that leaves the # 2 and I think really good chance Grimes has that locked with Garrett relieving him some there.

Then if you go to the # 3 - -We land Langford - - then you would have Langford and a Lawson there whichever the one that would play the 3 KJ? - -is he the one cause doesn't Dedric play the 4? - - and if Vick comes back then it's Vick & the Lawson so can't really see him breaking through there either. - just a bad situation for him so if there are any transfers looks like he would probably be the most likely to me anyways. Mitch isn't going anywhere he loves KU to much. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Jayballer54

Thanks for keeping it positive! A big part of our team improving is for all of us to stay positive! At a certain point in time, the Billy situation started going negative, and I am 100% positive that was reaching all the way to our players, truly creating more chaos and negativity.

Hey we got to stay positive right? - - -Billy is a good kid , did he make mistakes? -maybe - -sounds possibly , but the way I still have to look at this - -to me anyways , he was just a teenage kid that might of made some bad decisions . I don't know - -I can't say 100 % without a doubt for sure. - The only thing I can say 100 % for sure is - -we were all kids his age at one time or another right? -Every single one of us made mistakes at this point and time of our life I'm quite sure at one point right? - -Mistakes that impacted people just as big as this Billy situation did at KU - -only thing is , we weren't in the public lime light, we weren't as much as a public figure at a public place.

Doesn't mean our mistakes we made were any less - -didn't effect people in our lives any less , our mistakes could of quite possibly had really big impacts at our point in time of our lives negatively as Billy's did just little different circumstance - -still mistakes - -we are not perfect, and these types of things is how young kids learn

They will learn - - might be costly mistakes BUT they will learn. This world is a cold hearted world - it will eat you up, if your not careful - -Again I'm not mad at Billy - -wish him nothing but the best in his future - time to move on, we were fine before Billy came and you know what - -Were gonna be fine now that Billy is gone. - -So all I can say now is - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I Think this year more so then ever , we have really struggled at home. - Part of it might be pressure from wanting to keep Phog a nightmare for others & part this year is just quite frankly just bottom lined not as talented. - -Still talented but just not up to previous years

I think with this years team, - -other teams don't feel quite as intimidated for what ever reason , possibly because how they have seen other teams play us in the Phog this year, feeling we are more - - - - then other years. - -Still good in the Phog, - Yet I think in previous years - -Arizona St would never of beat us like they did - - -Baylor wouldn't of played us like they did. - -We just struggle this year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr Well Said , no reason to dwell on things that can't be changed.

@Jayballer54 I agree, Young is going to have to learn to use his teammates more. I thought he took so many ill advised shots yesterday when Latin had his man sealed for a dunk or lob. I read some folks complaining about some of the fouls DTG and Newman got yesterday, Young gets every call you could imagine around the hoop. He had one play where he fumbled it away and OSU took it without touching him but a foul was called. He lives at the line. If he doesn’t start playing thru other guys he may cause them to quit on him, you can get away with it awhile when winning games but a guy shooting it 39 times and only making 14 not gonna fly.

Here is some of what was written in a article. Oklahoma scored at just a 1.01 points per possession - -that's not going to win you very many games.

Saying it's not like Young doesn't have other capable team mates of being and have been good secondary options - -James & Manek are shooting a combined 41 % on 3s. - It says you can't seize opportunities if you have been missing 25 shots in 43 minutes.

They were saying last night during game day with Kentucky and then later Trae needs/better be getting his team mates more involved again - -his teammates are standing around -cause their thinking they not getting the ball - -to much one on one -

here is another post: Basketball is a TEAM game , something Trae obviously didn't learn and STILL isn't being taught. - He had 48 points but several of his 3's that he made were poor shot selections.

Another point brought out in a article states: The question here isn't whether Young is really sensational ( a point which I have stated many times here , he is an awesome talent BUT - then there are people that think I'm on a vendetta against Him what the F - - - ever ) -- nobody not saying he isn't really good. But it says the question is whether Okla would have a better chance of winning if the freshman did not record THE HIGHEST FIGURE FOR POSSESSION USAGE in the seventeen years of data set at Ken pom .com. - -many many other statements - -examples from people former players - BUT yet I have the vendetta - - I've had it in for him - -ya ok. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

todays games all over the nation • Jan 21, 2018 03:41 PM

Well, for you one's that think it's me - - I have a woody for Trae , how I have a personal vendetta against Young, not sure if you watched or have been listening to sports figures , former players - analysts - -writers even OU fans on message boards ? -They tearing his ass up. You seem think I have it in for Young - you have no idea - -no clue , the things I'm saying is just the same as many many many others are.

Hell if anything I'm on the lower end of the totum pole for Trae , I can acknowledge he is sensational player but if you listened to Jay Bilas - - Jay Williams - - Seth Green berg , the commentators on the game afterwards - -sports writers - -hell even OU fans. - -I could post quotes , thread after thread after thread - but I'd wear my keyboard out. - -Only thing I can tell you to do is check out the ESPN college conversation board about the OU-OSU game for one example.

As I mentioned Trae young plays terrible defense if any for 3/4 of the game. - Jay Williams and Seth both giving an example asking what the hell was he doing when OSU was down by 3 in the final seconds and allowing the OSU player to drive right down the side of the court and offered little resisitence flipping an arm as he put up the tying three point shot - -uncontested no defense at all, they gave multiple examples of what he could/should of done.

Before you want to try and justify his shots and play talk about he has no help - - ya he doesn't maybe BUT like they showed on multiple possessions you just have Trae dribbling with the ball and FOUR players just standing around doing nothing watching Trae and waiting to basically rebound NO OFFENSE at all, and then when he HE DOES pass the ball they aren't ready cause biggest majority he is one on one and jacks up shots.

Seth says at some point their going to quit rebounding the ball, there is going to start having decension on the team - -Jay Williams saying that they have to get this fixed with Tare.

14-39 - -8-20 from the arc and no one else o the team made more then THREE shots no one more scored more then 8 points.

I'm saying you think I hate Trae - -lmao - -ok that's your little story , you write it up all you want to twist it knock yourself out. - -here to tell you that it's FAR from me - -these other are really on his ass. - I could give you many posts - -articles but I won't. - just don't be coming at me with how I have a hard on about Trae. - I think he is a really good player, I just don't have my nose buried up his ass like you do that's all - -and evidently neither do ALOT of others including his Oklahoma fan base

HA, Self said when ask how they were going to handle the team tomorrow , he says well he knows that Garrett & Doke will be spending a lot of time tomorrow shooting stationary shots - -from the free throw line YA THINK?. - the rest of the team will take the day off. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

@Jayballer54 Going to see 2 games and having him come in for a visit in the span of two weeks probably indicates we are pretty interested. Definitely have room for him and Langford, these things work themselves out. That said there is almost no chance Langford comes if Vick stays.

Ya that's the big player I think , like you say - it's ALL going to depend on Vick. - -I know some people seem to say Vanderbilt has the edge - - maybe so , BUT like I read off another poster , if that was the case then why wouldn't of he already committed early to them - nothing to wait on with them and Indiana.

Just makes it look like he is waiting to see if Vick goes , I feel fairly good about him, cause I think Vick is gone, could be one of those cases where even if he were to come back his NBA stock might not go up enough for him to stick for another year - -If we get Romeo to go with what we got -- look out - just insane. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Day dreaming about next years team • Jan 19, 2018 05:12 PM

Tell you for sure , I too have thought about all the crazy talent we are going to have NEXT year , going to be crazy. I also have to try and temper my expectations for next year at the same time. - Let me try and lay it out as best as I can try to explain my reasonings.

First as we have talked about and there are others that feel # 1 - just don't see any way Newman comes back, he is I know and fully acknowledge that no way is he NBA caliber player , BUT he will take his skills what he has a go over sea's I think everyone pretty well knew that he was just here for the year after his transition year. # 2 Vick is gone , even if he continues excluding these last three games even if he comes out of this mini funk I truly think he declares , he has shown on some NBA boards already late 1st early 2nd - - I think he is the only one at this point , I just don't think he is coming back. We are going to be crowded the way it is - - - If Vick goes, chances really good Romeo comes # 3 - -Doke - - -Doke isn't ready - - yet. Doke is probably the biggest question at this point - -I think he is 50/50 at this point - -we all know the NBA drafts off potential - with his physical size they always look for big men , I've said before I think Coach Self recruited McCormack & De Sousa from the train of thought Doke would not be back - -probably threw that sales pitch to them telling them Doke was going to be gone, if not might of been a little harder to get them to come.

Then we get to the player we know will be here. -Very talented, scary good BUT we have the Lawsons really good players, were just going to have to see how they will adjust to a step up bigger Conference - -harder competition - -they have sit for a year - same with Moore - -ya he started at Cal - -still stepping up a bit at KU competition a little better see how he plays out.

Garrett should be fine - will never be a monster or even one of our top options because of his scoring limitations - -ugly shot. - - Cunliffe? - -Are we sure Cunliffe going to stick it out? - I could possibly se another transfer out of him considering the depth next year. -Again good role player but not ever going to be a stud while here I don't think.

Then we come to our babies - our Mickey D's - - -Grimes - -Dotson -- -McCormack - - love these guys - -it's not going to take long BUT the thing is no matter how good they are , they a Freshman , it's going to take time - -we are going to be in at least a smaller version of what Kentucky goes through with the talent they get every year, - look at this year - really good players - you can see them coming along - but I hop and I'm afraid we might have expectations a smidge high from the beginning with the guys. - -I know the 40-0 was a joke not being serious or at least I would hope it was.

I'm just as excited as anyone else -the possibilities are limitless I understand - I just think it's going to take sometime - we are still going to be really young and in-experienced Grimes - -Dotson - -De Sousa - - McCormack - then Garrett a Soph - not knowing whether Cunliffe going to stick around - -Mitch? - have no idea - will he redshirt? - -still gonna be a fun ride. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

One theory that’s been floated is that Billy is done for the year (like Austin Wiley) and KU just isn’t announcing it, with the intention being Billy come back next year. I don’t buy it. I think KU really believes he’ll be cleared at some point.

Well KU may have the intention of Billy coming back next year - -BUT you can take it to the bank - just like Billy will be taking it to the bank - -there is no way especially if he isn't cleared- there is no way in hell he would return to KU for next year.

I would love to just put Garrett on him, but it will probably end up being a lot of switching. And double-teaming him on high ball screens.

I'd pick him up right at half court and play him REALLY physical from there. force him to do one of two things. Either drive or pass. But he is not going to beat me by shooting the three ball. If they try to shake him loose with a high ball screen, I would hedge extremely hard with Doke/Mitch/De Sousa and let my defender be able to go over the top of the screen to prevent an easy 3.

The one thing I'd really make sure I did is put in a play where we post him up. Either with Vick, Garrett or Svi. But I would love to see an isolation where we force him to defend in the paint. at 170 lbs, he is either going to get warn down or foul. Sometimes good offense can be your best defense.

Sounds good but you can take it to the bank he isn't going to foul. - he will let you go first, won't begin to contest especially in the 1st half. I don't know if it is Kruger or him or a combo of both - but he is not risking getting in foul trouble to where he has to sit. I've seen him to many times just totally back away -- wave an arm as you blow by him - and jog down the court on defense in the 1st half.

Could be coach tells him not to worry concentrate on the offensive end don't know - -but he isn't going t be in foul trouble - he just won't allow that to happen. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So here is the question , if it were up to you , you made the decision Who would you have guard Trae Tuesday?

Read from another site - -They think Garrett. - you think that is a good choice? - I really don't know. - So do we have Garrett or do we chase him with multiple? - -Garrett - -Vick & then MAYBE some Graham? - -what you think? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
