@BShark ya he is pretty good. don't know why I should be surprised. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay Catch your drift BUT as you know Kevin Knox -- pretty decent player. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 I Hear ya - -I think it is called Michael Porter - -Blake Harris possibly Tilmon - -they trying to start something special - -challenge Kentucky in the SEC , never say never. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well kind of got caught off guard with al the transfers, the graduations and such.

Was watching all that declared for the NBA and got to say this one kind of caught me off guard, not sure why but it did: The Collins kid from Gonzaga. I didn't see that coming. got to admit I was kind of impressed when I watched him play - -saw him like 3-4 times looked pretty good - -lots of energy - -big kid. Just thought he would take over for the bearded one. -- Wasn't he just a freshman? - -Who else thought this way - -or what's your thought on the kid? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well , I think that just maybe found why Josh hasn't announced yet. - - -Reason? - -He has been pretty busy. - -Today just came out an hour ago from the LJW - -Josh was in court today as he has been formally charged with Criminal Damage.

He is applying for a diversion , pleaded not guilty through his attorney , Was surpose to surrender himself to the jail by April 14th, where he will have his photographed and finger prints. - - His bond will be set at 500.00 dollars

In the main time while his diversion is being processed he has another Court app , Friday for his charge of Inattentive driving. - -So could be why he hasn't announced - - He has been to busy with legal. - -Just be glad for josh when he get's this behind him - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@joeloveshawks Na it's not odd. - -The kid just have confidence in himself -ya he has a little bit of an edge, kind of a little cockiness - -but that's ok just like Josh now not saying he is any Josh - -different position BUT Josh had that little edge to him - - swagger BUT he could back it up - -Trevon can BACK IT UP - - there is a difference between someone who talks smack and then wet's all over himself & then a player as we hear not only talks the talk - -BUT walks the walk.

A article that stuck with me with Josh he was playing I believe Peyton's son I think maybe and Peyton was in the stands and Josh and him was exchanging smack with one another BUT Peyton said he liked that. -- WHY? Cause Josh could back his talk up. - - Trevon is the same way - - Lots of people said he NBA ready right now. - -Lot of recruiting analysts have said he is THE ONE PG that could go now if it was possible.

I don't think in anyway trying to be negative or anything else. He is just oozing confidence - - nothing wrong with that. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 Problem is EVERY player faces the possibility of having their scholarship taken away EVERY YEAR. - - Now does that happen at KU? - -Have never heard of it - -Will it happen? - - I seriously doubt it, I sure wouldn't want that to happen BUT the cruel hard truth of the situation ANY player CAN have their scholarship taken. every and any year. - -They are good for one year. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Blown You are right on. These scholarships are a ONE year thing n Now I'm not trying to take SVI"S Scholarship if he wants to come back cool. My only QUESTION was, as a staff - - how do we handle this as far as recruiting - -kind of makes things touchy.

Do we recruit like he is not coming back? - -Do we put everything in a hold pattern tell he decides? - -Problem there is IF we take that approach then SVI decides not to come back - -we have waited all this time and now no options - he doesn't have to announce until like May 24th. - -So what do we do? How do we recruit? We recruit like he ISN'T coming back and are aggressive after other recruits and someone commits THEN SVI announces he is coming back -- -then what? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Blown I agree & I've been saying that for some time. -- -I personally do not think he will score enough to really get drafted, BUT I've felt and stated that I do think he is gone, I still fully think ok, ya he will test the NBA. BUT like you I think he is going home. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr That's you & I's new theme " Livin the Dream " lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So my thing is where does this put us? - -How do we approach recruiting over him? - -I mean he is not hiring an agent and he has till May 24th to decide to rather stay in or come back with out an agent. - -How do we go about recruiting with something like that. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Statmachine Yes it is true about schools or the fans always seemingly trying to ONE UP the other on the trash. - -I just have to laugh though when a program thinks they might have a chance to land an upper type of player- -when they in the race for that player it's like they are one of the greatest players there is and THEN - - BAM once their program is eliminated -it's like these same posters have just went through menopause - -the change of life and NOW these same players the other school that does get them is total Garbage it's truly historical . - -Gotta love it - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Almost comical some things being said from other sites , From our wonderful School back east. The Beloved Duke Blue Devils fans. - -Starts from a poster , I just read we are in the mix for the Lawson brothers? - - Another posters response - - That would be awesome - - They are great players. several posts along these lines. - - -And then - - -WAIT FOR IT - - - WAIT - - -WAIT.

Ah yes THERE it is - - -well they just committed to Kansas, OH how quickly it turns lmao.

Poster: -Self offered the boys some new cars , K wouldn't match. Another post: Let Kansas have them - - We don't need a father having his kids transfer if they don't get enough playing time. - -- UMMM , Pssssssssssssst - -I don't know BUT just kind of have a feeling that MAYBE - - just MAYBE - -that's not going to be a problem at KU.

AH yes and then we have this from another poster classic - - idiotic - -yes - -moronic - - yes - -brain dead - -yes but yet here he is: - - They will be shooting students just like the Morris twins with BB guns in no time. - - - -They will probably bond well with Vick, I'm sure he can show them the ropes on how to disgrace the program - - NOW that the Car Rapist Jackson is gone. And the Worlds dumbest stoner is transferring, he will probably in up at Washington or Colorado. -- Dam ya gotta love it -aren't the DOOKIES SO SPECIAL?

Got a question? Wonder if they can Major in Stupidity at Duke? lmao - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity I dunno, might be what he needs - -just read it off their boards. - -I just hope he lands on his feet and does well. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well doing a little surfing. - - Seems like Illinois , looking to get in on Bragg pretty hard. - -Most of their fans off the board anyways.- - - seem like they want to bring him in - -think they can use him give him the 2nd chance. - -Hope all turns out well for him - -he DOES deserve a fresh start. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark OK, what am I missing? lol what is it that's about Tilmon? -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 What happened? -refresh my memory position? - He de-commit? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Ya I have to agree, I mean I saw all through the year Josh has been a top 3 pick at the worst -he has to go. I mean what could he possibly gain if he didn't? - He would be taking a risk of any kind of freak major injury by returning and risking his NBA career.

Selfish reasons - -hell ya wouldn't it be great?- But I expect probably announce tonight probably svi ALSOright? - -Maybe SVi also. - -ROCK CHALKA

@approxinfinity AHHHA, got ya - -thank you so much very simple thanks again -- love this site. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity Hey, just curious , I just posted , thought I had screwed up - -it took my post , , was going to edit my thread but couldn't find the edit - -what happened to it lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Checked other sites, a couple of things. - - -First Matt's post is back, Another poster had asked what had happened to his thread - someone said probably something technical , Matt commented - -said ya something messed up, said probably Flarety I know that's not the correct spell sorry, but anyways the thread is back - -55 responses at this point.

The Second thing was reading a question and answer interview with Trevon, Breaking down ALL the schools: - -Arizona , ,Seton Hall , Duke , Baylor , & KU:

As far as KU: - -Question , about what he liked -- He said the Atmosphere, saying at the game their ( KU ) was an 11 . - - Duke was he said was a 10 . - - KU was great , Unbelievable , especially for a big game I went to the KU/Baylor game - -it was big time.

Question: - -Does it mater about Devonte being there? - -Answer: - -No , Cause Frank did it. -- Question:- -What about Malik being there does that help?- - Answer- - I don't really care who is there.- - -I can play with anyone , I've played with everyone , As long as everyone plays the game the right way , I'm not worried about playing with anyone.

Question have you set an announcement date? - - -Answer No. - - - -Hopefully sometime this month. - - -

@drgnslayr Other people talking about how Josh's Mom really emphasizing the education, really wants to get his degree. - -AGAIN one more time , I mean we ALL know he is gone, but YET with every passing day and no announcement. - -some were talking about MAYBE THAT is Matt's some big maybe happening again but not 100% yet? Some others have said could be he just didn't want to rain on Franks parade steal his lime light.

AGAIN he has till the 23rd of this month main while it's just tick - - -tick - - -tick - - . THAT would for sure be THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD. I mean come on really? - -BUT have you ever heard of the phrase " NEVER SAY NEVER " OMG just thinking about it BAM. - -but no - -no way. I still say he might announce tonight at the banquet. -- I'm really surprised they haven't said more about the banquet. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity Whew glad were back. I was trading posts this morning, left for a bit came back and my dam computer said page unavailable lol. - -I thought OH NO I've lost my most favorite page. - -I was depressed, I thought about taking up drinking , ,smoking cigarettes , - slumping in my rocking chair , and relegated to watching soap Opera's - -WHEW WHAT A RELIEF lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark OH DAM whatcha thinking? - -more hot news ? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark why is he excited again? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo OK. ya now that you gave where he was from , I remember reading about him - -& I'm with you I think I would rather have Juiston BUT I think with the guys today - -I think prettywell eliminates us for him. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ya that's what I'm afraid of. - -Really would like to Land Juiston - -but with this taking place , and him Visiting Iowa St this weekend they gonna play this Card REALLY HARD this weekend - try to get him to commit while there and chances are good he just might # 1 Juco pretty tough player - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr I agree. I know that we all know , Josh isn't coming back. - -Just for chit chat though idle conversation , couldn't you imagine IF Josh DID announce that he was coming back for his Soph year. - Could you imagine the shock wave that this would send around the College Basketball scene? lol -- Just imagine old Calipari and Rat face at Duke wettin all over themselves lmao. - I have said a couple of times - -I'm think he will probably mention about declaring at the Banquet tomorrow night. - -Could be we hear about SVI tomorrow night also. - -ROCK CHALK ALL ADY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 Well let me hear you guy. I agree for sure wit you ONE more Big and I think we REALLY be good. So in your opinion , Who do you think would be more of a benefit to us? - -Juiston OR Kanter? I know or have heard lots on Shakur - -little to nothing on Kanter. - -Iowa State fans are feeling with the Lawson's coming to KU that it seals Juiston committing to Iowa State - yes - -no- - maybe? -- Who would be your choice?

I really like Juiston , , but again haven't really heard to much on Kanter - -Do we have a legit shot at him? - - - Also is Kanter a transfer? - -if so where from? - -or is he a Grad transfer? - or High School? - -Thanks - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo BOY, isn't that the truth. - You know seems like every year , well at least the last few anyways, we as fans well some of us anyways get to be the worry wert's , well I'm speaking for myself anyways - -the old ye of little faith lol - -seems like we get in a scramble mode fret to death -- And then BAM as always it seems Coach and his buddies seek guys out - -and we do JUST FINE. - -With Devonte announcing yesterday his return & then now today this, Man we are SOLID, not only this year but the next - If we could land Jusiton then I think it's BALL GAME we good to go. - - Our Bench shaping up, we have some really good depth in the back court Vick CAN play there, - - Newman - -Graham - - Garrett - & SVI I like that.- - If we could get Juiston to help Doke OH YA - - JUMPIN - -GEE - -HOSSA - - FATS LOL. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark OK. So with the Lawson's transferring in , yes I realize they sit for the year BUT how does their chosing us, effect Juiston? - - Iowa State fans are all stoked now thinking that since they are coming that it will seal the deal for them and Juiston . So what YOU think?

Also I'm totally lost now - - exactly how many open spots do we have left now? - -Someone else said seeing as how Lawson's have to sit next year they don't count against the scholi level. - -I don't think that's right - -I think they still count right? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark I think he gets caught up in a numbers game. - Getting pretty crowded at his spot. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark hmmm, with the Lawsons coming in - and like has been said quite possibly just the one year then - -does it mean or could we see Mitch transferring out? - -- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 lol, THAT'S CRAZY LOL

@approxinfinity Is he a brother to them or what? - - -ROCK CAHLK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark JUMPIN - - -DOUBLE - - -GEE - - - HOSSA - -FATS. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OK , OK , I know - -I', saying this with tongue in cheek , but just saying as I read another well actually more then one - -but there was posts saying/asking WHY hasn't Josh come out and announced that he was declaring yet? - - -What is he waiting on? lol. Now I know guys - -I'm not THAT stupid, but yet I mean it does kind of bring up a point - -WHY hasn't he?

I mean and has been noted he was quoted after the Oregon game that his Mom and him hadn't decided about that yet. - -To me You would think it would be a no brainer. - - Gonna be a lottery pick - -probably top 3, no place to go already at the top. - -Why would he even consider even the remotest of coming back - risk possible serious injury jepordizing his NBA career?

My thinking is that maybe, his is waiting to announce at the banquet Tuesday night. - -BUT yet, makes the mind wonder - -even if it is just a smidge, - -that tinsy little bit - -MAN if for some insane reason he announced he was returning for his Soph yr? - -What shock waves would that send across the sports Nation, lol - - - --ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So, give me the REAL poop. - - - What is your Bottom line on Shakur Juiston? - -Do you think we actually have a legit shot at him?

I think it's about 50/50. - -He has scheduled his visit with Iowa state, and they are the other competition that I see for him. - - The only thing is - - that made it kind of sound - -NOT SO GOOD for us was, that he was really impressed that Coach Prom had been the one recruiting him - - His Coach said that Shakur had really taken notice of that, and they have been recruiting him hard for quite some time - - I dunno, whatcha think? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

According to Adam Zagoria, -- Coach Self really would like to play Duval with Graham & Newman -- -I just don't see it, Heard a interview with Duval from the Nike Hoops Games - -saying he wants to make a decision probably the end of the month.

I guess weirder things have happened but umm I sure don't feel this is going to be one of them. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Couldn't agree more. - Like I stated here just a couple back - I think this closes ANY chance we might of had with Duval - -BUT I'm good, I'll take Devonte and sleep just fine. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Might be very true - - BUT still I think this just solidifies if it wasn't all ready - - Duval to Duke. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Man if we could land Juiston - - I would be ONE HAPPY CAMPER. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Very great news. - -I'm so glad my gut was wrong. - I was actually pretty worried, but HELL YA , I had just been going back and forth back and forth -I just think VERY smart decision - and for my greedy reasons again - - HELL YA. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@REHawk JUMPIN - - -GEE - - -HOSSA - -FATS - -TYPE - -OF - -YEE - -HAW. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Oh we ALL have been hittin the same pipe one to many times if we were to think Josh MIGHT come back lmao. - -Wouldn't that just for sure floor you I mean exactly reach right out and pop you in the mouth if he were to say -- I'm returning for a Sophmore year lol - -Boy would that ever make some headlines. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Got a question. Is it just me being in a paranoia mood OR does it seem that maybe that Frank is about to get screwed out of the Wooden award? - -I just got this weird feeling watching their lead in about the Wooden award and flashing Lonzo Ball and then the interview with Lonzo and the connection to UCLA that even though not worthy some how they going to give this award to him - -They better not. just a sick feeling hope it is paranoia. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
