@dylans never MIND BUD I JUST ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION THANKS ALOT. - - rock chalk all day long baby

@dylans Thanks. So if I save my changes will it start showing up to me when someone posts - -will it show up in the darkly? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity OK, so bare with me, I not the smartest on computers. Soo I found a skin that makes it easier for ME to read posts. - - You said I could chose that skin, without it effecting the other posters? - - How do I set that skin for me, so when I read posts it will show up for me with the skin that I chose? I don't want to screw with everyone else this skin just makes it easier for me to read the words, cause of the contrast. I would like to set mine as the darkly. Can I get that for me and how do I set it that way?. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity cool, I have a question? - -Can we individually then pick which skin works better for us separately without effecting other members skins? - Cause I think I have found the one that would work best for me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ya know , and I thought this even before but even more since I've talked to several friends acquaintences. I just believe and some different things I've read , for one that some times these NBA people will advise guys that might be projected in the middle to lower pat of the 2nd round - -they advise them to go play ball over sea's for a year , then declare for the NBA draft kind of stockpile these guys then draft them. This way the kid STILL makes some money playing for that year & then declares after that year.

I have felt for awhile this is what SVI would do - -I didn't think about playing over sea's for the year and then declaring but makes sense -gets paid then declare the following season. - -I've just have always thought he would do what he did Declare- -then if he doesn't hear what he wanted, I have fully thought that he would return back home and play ball - -didn't see him coming back - - -STILL don't see him back. - -If I remember right when he came he said at the time he was talking 2 years , as far as the NBA goes personally I don't believe his stock will rise a lot higher, just think he is done at KU. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay Ahh that helps as far as the reply part is thanks so much. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity Thank you for the information. - - as far as the other don't even worry about that I'll be fine lol. I think your doing great. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hey my friends, was curious, has anyone heard anymore about the possibility of expanding the facilities for the Women's Volleyball program? - i know there was talk about expansionn & soon, just don't know if it was JUST TALK or they have actually finalized it and are going to expand, would be nice to be able to get a couple more thousand in there. Anyone hear anything? Thanks - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Love this site my friend, but man when I got on today and seen the new I freaked lol just kidding, was looking for the old sub titles - -threads you know the format? - -Pulled the 1st one up to reply and seen how it was sit up and like WOW lol - na I'm just messin with you however you want it - -is fine with me -I'm like a Camilion I know that's not right - -SORRY. but I can adapt easily lol. Just have to squint these old fading eyes a little harder to read the print - -might actually have to wear my glasses lol. Stat drinking a little more Geritol. Let me please say this - -now for me and it by far isn't no big thing, I did kind of like being able to when I was replying to another posters comments - -I use to like to be able to scroll back and re- read a part of their post if I wanted to comment on a certain part - -But it's cool. I haven't seen where you can with the new way, but not trippin. Also still haven't been able to find the emoji's, can we look up by the wheel right by where it says compose? thanks so much - -And again Thanks for your time and effort in this site, so glad I found such an awesome room/site to inner mingle with KU friends. - -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 YA, see you pointed out one of the big things that bothers me to, that I used as an example in my post. - -That's and again it sounds worse when I type it then it really is - Cause don't get me wrong, I love our coach, But like you said my point exactly this is what gets me - -again an example say we are recruiting 2 guys same position player - - ONE might be a 5 star and like ranked 3-4 in the Nation, then we also recruiting a 4 star ranked say 10th in the Nation - -actually pretty similar in talent maybe little variance so this is when I say or so it seems like we spend so much time on the quote - -in quote 5 star player recruit - -recruit - - recruit and in the end run lose out on him & then main time back at the Ranch the 4 star that had similar talent has stepped on - -that ship has sailed because we didn't stay on him as much, took his talent somewhere else, then we lose out on Both - -Which puts us in a scramble mode or so it seems, looking at the transfers harder -post grad transfers - -de-commits - -see what I'm saying? THAT'S what frustrates me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark I read off zags blog that he was unofficially visiting them yesterday, probably picking out his dorm room lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well read that Rhode Island might be a player for Shakur now. - -Think they said he is going to visit them, close to home like 3 hours away from home for him, Iowa State people just in a frenzy - -well SOME are anyways, talking saying he must not like Iowa State or else he would of committed by now and such - -makes me giggle lol. - JUMPIN -- - GEE- -HOSSA - -FATS the kid is wanting to take his visits. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Question? - -did anyone figure out what happened to our emoji's? maybe I mIissed it - -I miss them lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@madmaxKU - - I hear ya, BUT I just really don't believe Gracie returning will effect his recruitment that much. - -Allen is not a true point guard - -never has been. Duval commit would be natural fit - -Allen slide back to his 2 spot and Duval take over the Point. Not sayin it couldn't happen, he made the statement he could and has played with anybody when talking about KU when they asked him about with Newman being here - -BUT that could also apply to Duke playing with Allen and Jackson & Trent.

Now if you wanted to reach - -think a little wild Could be from Duke's perspective they not feeling that comfortable about landing him - - Gracie has already talk with the Duke staff and gotten feed back from NBA , - NBA telling him his chances not that great at the present, put that with the Staff at Duke not feeling that comfy with the possibility of landing Trevon pushing Gracie to return for his senior year, play Gracie at the point and Jackson at the 2 - - REALLY think that's the case - -BUT hey if you wanna twist things around a little there ya go..- - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark I Understand completely, just me - -a little frustrated -But I know we will be fine in the end run. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr - - -Don't hold your breath anymore on Juiston, - -that ship has pretty well sailed. -- With us getting the Lawson Brothers, and NOW Juiston saying he IS NOT taking a visit to Kansas, the Hutch Coach saying that with us getting the Lawson's - Juiston was very aware of that and with him only having 2 years that this will be of a concern for Shakur. - -With us taking in the Lawson's that pretty well put and end to Juiston. -- -ROC CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wrwlumpy MERCY, MERCY you are right. - -BOY watching this just gave me chills all up and down, man oh man I am here to say that right there STILL just stuns me. - -Devonte was blistering, Josh's pass sitting on his butt. - -This is what is amazing there were times when this team was just SO DAMM SCARY GOOD, that's what makes the loss at the end that much harder to swallow. - -stings -these guys we soo special - - -Thank you so much for the video, - -again like you said really get wrapped up in these things sent chills for sure, almost got me emotional lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Ya so in the final analayis like I thought. Our chances are pretty slim to none on ANY of these guys. I understand what your saying aboutyou have to do things to have any kind of a chance. -My thing is DO YOU feel like when such as these cases - -DO YOU feel like we spend TO MUCH time AND EFFORT on these kids instead of the point I was trying to make? -Do you not feel like it is possible that we kind of get blinders on ONE and the main time other possible potent recruits slip away just curious. I by far am not trying to be negative on Coach wouldn't want anyone else. Just curious seems like there are a lot of guys that have gotten away and I'm wondering if it is because of the way we a zeroing in a certain CERTAIN ONE. - -I dunno - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ok , read some players we are visiting Today, & Tomorrow for 2018. - - So of the guys I am going to list , from everything I've read and heard from others - -even others from here , I don't believe we are leading on ANY of them , and some I don't think we are even in the park. So how many of these guys do you all think we really feel we have ANY kind of chance at? Just seems to me that possibly we get so zero in on ( EXP ) DeAndre Ayton this past year - -feel we're in such good shape that several other options get ignored until the ship has sailed on those players.

So read that Coach Self & Coach Townsend are in South Carolina today visiting -Zion Williamson. -- Now I would love to have him BUT he is one that I think I've heard umm maybe probably not so much

Coach Roberts is going to on Tues, & Wedn , is going to be visiting Jahvon Quinerly - - - Moses Brown , Louis King , & Naz Reed.. I think that yes we might be in the running possibly for Moses Brown & MAYBE to a small degree Naz Reid -- -maybe BUT other then that I'm not real sure,

Now I'm not sure I can't positively bring home points -Just possibly a theory , I feel this type of recruiting might be why we are scrambling some this year & you & I both know that can't deny WE LOST OUT on ALOT of players this year, more then I can remember in recent past - -Again I'm not condemning I love coach but are we limiting ourselves? kicking ourselves right in the butt. I mean seriously I feel unless there is just a dead right glaring difference I think were going to take the first one that commit. - -I mean here is what I'm trying to bring out.

If you are recruiting 2 players Say one is a 4 star & one is a 5 star - -one is rated like # 3 in the Nation - -& the other is like # 10 just for this example is all I think if the 4 star commits 1st then so be it. - I think we are getting into a trend where a lot of these kids are delaying waiting to see who's leaving - -who is coming back and such so we end up sometimes not offering and WE WAIT - -and then in the end the 5 star commits elsewhere and we have lost out on the 4 star = thusly we end up in scramble mode. So how many of these guys do you think we realistically have a shot at. Let me know - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Dylans -- -Doesn't that kind of surprise you Ol Roy is not on there? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hmmm, just curious I read where the Coach - -no not Self but assistant was going to watching Garrison Brooks tonight. - - 2017 big man who was granted his release LOI from Mississippi State, just curious if we could get him to visit - -wonder if good ol Malik could put a bug in his ear.

I mean who would be better to visit with him also coming from Mississippi state and now here? - -Could talk to him about the KU system ya know? - -Question is would we want to offer? - - Was thought North Carolina was on him heavy but now people talking maybe not so much. So what you think? - -Is he worth the time or not? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Well if he cancelled his visit - -pretty well tells us we are no longer a factor, so which in turn also tells us doesn't mater if his competition is just a level higher then high time to move on and work on THE NEXT one. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I'm Sorry but I have to say that I just didn't see a whole lot to get physced about with the QB'S. - -Not really that impressed, not sure if it was because of the D - -I mean 14-7 with what is suppose to be an AIR RAID ATTACK with the talented receivers we are suppose to have, just dunno. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 I have to agree, I really think we need to still find a big for THIS class ew have took a lot of misses on players this year. I know we will be fine but man we have missed on a lot of players this year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Still think the or one of the biggest reasons he hadn't was because of all the legal crap he had going on. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jaybate-1.0 The way I figured out finally on the notifications was when I clicked on the notifications down at the bottom where it says mark all notifications read - -I clicked that and they all vanished that's how I got rid of mine. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Dam. - -But guess I shouldn't be surprised with the brothers coming next year. - Still things as far as a Big goes for this year not looking good .Actually kind of a quiet year - -Got to believe Tilmon ends up at Missouri, wish we could of landed a Big. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Read off an article today Shakur is headed to DePaul for a visit this week. Did NOT commit to Iowa State over the weekend. Iowa State fans disappointed. Then some well of Course he is going to takes his visits, and of course making their comments why come to Kansas and waste away on the bench when he could go there and play valuable minutes.

Other schools being mentioned Oklahoma , Illinois , U Conn , Seton Hall and others.
Was mentioned Shakur is very aware of the Lawsons commiting to KU, and said I believe the Hutch Coach saying that this a concern for Shakur, because of his 2 yrs remaining. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox Couldn't agree more , People need to be excited about it. - -TWO days out of the year are truly important. Christmas & Easter - -The Birth - -& the Ressurection. - -Thank you for posting Greatly appreciated, nice to know some know the TRUE meaning to this day. - - -- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KUSTEVE Boy that sure brings back some memories. You remember him and Pony Thompson - -Boy could they light it up. Pony was a big boy lol. Some memorable Saturdays. - -Wonder what happened to Ronnie - - haven't heard NOTHING about him just POOF. - -He had a sweet soft feather shot. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I saw watched him a little when he was at Mississippi State on television. I realize this is all hi-light video BUT man to me, seems like he has a pretty sweet stroke. Think he could get on a roll and really light it up if he gets hot. Going to be interesting to watch, ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

MAN , is there any way we could shake things up - -makes sure he has to come back for another year? lol, na you know I'm just kidding, sure would be nice, but he has to go do his thing for Money, I ain't mad at him lol. - -What's that saying " Don't hate the player - -Hate the game" So glad we got to see him take it home on the Video at Kentucky ALWAYS SWEET anytime against them. - One's at BAYLOR - - TEXAS TECH stood out for me too many to pin point all were special, a TRUE one and done - one of the best IF not the best we have enjoyed here at KU, Thanks Josh. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@hawkmoon2020 Ya he really has nothing to gain by coming back. - -Like I said through the year the worst I saw him drafted was a 3rd pick - -Lottery. - -Why take a chance when coming back, and possible injury. - -Sure was nice to watch him play. he is going to be a very solid NBA player. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well I think MAYBE one possible scenario like I stated the other day and talked with some others is that could be possibly, that he has just been so involved with these legal things going on that he really has had his mind on others things - -getting these things behind him, I'm not saying that IS the case - -but could be possibly.

There had been some other rumblings rumor from a few that his Mother REALLY wanted to see him get his education, which would mean ya he comes back - -but ummm don't really see that, the kid is a lottery pick - -can't go much more, seen he is worst like a 3rd pick He has till the 23rd to do declare - -would love to see him back - -but I just can't see it, but am living a fantasy about it happening lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well , not going to say I will follow every minute BUT nice to know we ( KU ) will have 6 playing in the play offs this season , might watch a bit

Our 6 players are: Paul & the clippers - -vs Jeff & the Jazz. - - Paul is ONE year short of 20 yrs in the NBA pretty good career. - - Nick will be in again with the Thunder. - hard to believe he has been in for 14 years - -has played in 91 playoff games.

The other 4 KU players in the playoffs this yr are: Wayne with the Grizzles, - - Markeiff & Kelly with Bullets. - - -these 4 players are all in their 1st year of playoffs - -Got to pull for the old man - -Love Paul Pierce - -probably be a short run but who knows. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Well that's good we would have two thanks for that. Boy I honestly even remember about Selby being from Maryland - - Actually I really tried to forget about Selby lol.

So what do you REALLY think about possibly landing Tilman Actually I think we have a better chance at Juiston don't you? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr Yes I have lol - - BUT I can always tell you again -it helps me to boost my own fantasy - -JJ is coming back lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Another Pg from Maryland? - -who is the one from Maryland? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ok. - - - -So then IF & I'm just asking , but if Josh leaves & SVI stays in the draft or opts to go back home and try NBA later , How many Schol's would we have? - -One , or Two?

Hoping Two because my thinking is - - if we would still only have One I'd prefer we use it on like Juiston or Tilmon I personally feel between the Two positions we need More help on the inside. What's your feelings about this?

Hopefully we would have Two - - that way we could possibly land both Big & Small -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark - Ahh, Ok so it was Allen only visit was for here right now? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Read where we are Visiting Tilmon today & also visiting Quigley? Oh can't remember his name - -the point guard , also visiting him today. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark - - -I read on the Iowa State board , they were saying he is going to be there this weekend for a visit. - - Where as on your post , he was saying we were the only visit he had planned for now. - -So I'm guessing he must of made that statement before he set his visit with Iowa state right? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HighEliteMajor I am now done

@wissox Oh I'm sorry I'm so glad that you can be the judge jury and convictioner. no matter the case whether you got told or not you was embarrassing to your parents. no need to try an and come off as holier then thou. I think your trying to come off as some saint - -I call BULL SHIT you are far from perfect..I think it sucks your trying to come off holier then thou. Damm Really? - -Maybe you need to step the hell back and think again. You by far don't know the whole story. how quick you want to judge. worried about the scared program more then the individual that really sucks. shows where your train of thought is at.. kids make mistakes. YOU DID FOR SURE. you know you did. dam I get really tired of this bullshit. more worried about the scared security of the program then the player. screw that almost makes me puke. have we gotten to that point - -oh the program? OMG really TELL ME AGAIN HOW YOU A SAINT. get off me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY. - - - OK kick me out of this site - -I don't give a dam some people here are just pathetic.

@JayHawkFanToo aGREE these are still kids- -just like we were at one point and we did stupid things - -just ask your parents they'll tell you, they have thought we all were an embarrassment. - - Couldn't agree with you more. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox I think your train of thought is just a tad of base. - -Were you the so called " embarrassment to your parents at anytime in your life? Everyone including you make mistakes but not necessarily an embarrassment. - - -BUT to each his own - -Once again I will continue to say an AWSOME KID, You have a great day. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox Josh was formally charged yesterday, Criminal Damage, filing for diverson, pleaded not guilty through his attorney. but ha to go to the Jail by the 14th of april and then when get his picture took and finger printed and will be a 500 dollar bond.

Then he has to go back to Court on Friday for his court date on the inattentive driving. I'm thinking this is why he hasn't announced yet- -just to busy with all this legal stuff going on, hope he get's this all behind him, has a huge NBA career in front of him. Wishing him the best of luck awesome kid. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
