@Kcmatt7 Very Nice - -well put. - -I have to believe my answers would be - - - As a fan - - the answer would be YES - - Does he still have value ?- - the answer would be YES - - Can he turn the corner and be a GREAT Player ? - - MAYBE - - -but a really good player? - -YES.

I like yourself , Would actually like to see him return. - -This was just a very bad year for Carlton, I think the off the Court distractions , , really effected him ON THE FLOOR , The kid has an awesome personality - -Did we like you say see that smile that would be very contagious this year like his Freshman year - -NO. - -I just feel it got to be to much for the poor kid -yes, he made some bad decisions - -BUT who hasn't during their life at that age?- - - I know I for one sure did.

I just really feel Bragg deserves a 2nd chance - -I feel he for sure could help the team big time even yet. - -I for one am not going to turn my back on the boy - -He knows he has done wrong - - made some mistakes, I feel deserves the chance to try again. -- -As I have always said NEVER look in the mirror, for you can't change the past - - -live today for today for tomorrow is never promised- - -just take one day at a time, that all he can do - -that's all anyone can do. - - So again my answers would be yes - -yes - - & yes. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Well I guess I'm might be in the minority, BUT I wouldn't mind having him if we could get him to come. - - People talk about his attitude and such BUT I think a lot of that was because he got caught up in that Duke machine - -just TOO many decent players which limited his playing time and then he had the injury which put him back, I really feel that he still is a very good player, just didn't have to opportunity to progress, because of numbers at Duke. - -I think he would get quality playing time here and also feel he could for sure help the program - -I think he quite honestly has been given a bum rapp on his attitude at Duke - - I'm sure he just got frustrated cause of lack of playing time & injury and everything else in the equation of things - -Just made a very poor decision to commit to Duke. -- pretty good player - -just wrong place & timing - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo Thanks well I wasn't to far off I was born in 1954 I remember them going to 32 teams - -that might of been what I was thinking of - -I got that Part timers diease lol. - -Thanks bud. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Frank won the NABC last night. -- I heard them say he had won it on my local sports WIBW, said it was announced last night around 10:00 -- rack up another one, way to go Frank- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks lOL oh my friend I would have to give you a stiff challenge about being the poorest on here. Here I am 63 yrs old on Social Security disability and barely make 1,000 a month lol, so think maybe just a little less then what you have - not sure, but would be willing to take a shot, I know what you mean about trying to survive lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo Don't get me wrong, cause I could very easily be wrong, might be an age thing for me BUT if my memory strikes me right , I can remember when I was young - - -dam that was many many moons ago. I can remember when they only had 16 teams in the Tourney I can remember listening to the THIRD place game on the radio - -We were playing UCLA and w lost of course I can remember that, Then I think they jumped from 16 to 32 teams - - long time ago. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Truly awesome for Frank, couldn't be happier for him. He brought it every time. I don't think it will truly sink in till this upcoming season as to just how truly blessed we were to have Frank leading our teams. Not saying our backcourt won't do well - - -just won't be able to replicate this years. -- Frank you will be truly missed BUT for sure welcomed back anytime. Looking forward to your jersey being hung in the rafters.

I'm so glad I got a chance to see a truly fine player in my life time - - Seen multiple fine players BUT you were a different special - Never seen a tougher player, loved contact so it seemed, fearless, You will be truly missed - - Congrads Frank you deserve all of it. Always notice one the first things out of his mouth - - - IF weren't for my TEAMATES -none of this would of been possible. - -Typical Frank great job. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You know what's really sad? -- I fully believe that we could/can hang with ANY of these teams N Carolina included. - -Just happens Oregon played out their butt when we played and we couldn't hit any shot. - -Very frustrating. -- -Very , Very frustrating. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Question -- does anyone happen to know when they announce the Naismith POY tomorrow? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Lulufulu He makes it past tonight and I ACTUALLY don't think it will be that close. - -I JUST don't see Gonzaga being able to match up - think their is a lot of matchup problems for them - like 10-12 point for N Carolina. - - so let it be written -- so let it be done - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity I DUNNO I FIND IT really hard to root for Gonzaga - -Your right there really is NO ONE I want to win now. I just think N. Carolina if they match up will hand Gonzaga's A - - on a hat to them. - -S Carolina getting Gonzaga in foul trouble . - -Athletically I don't think Gonzaga"s big's stand a snowballs chance in hell against N Carolina's - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well that sucks - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If you were told to make a pick, who would you want out of the 4 left to win the Championship? - -I know this is the long shot of them all - -But I think I would have to pull for S Carolina. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I really do appreciate the correction- I was just simply saying that ya I knew that like stupid me lol. - -You said nothing wrong by any means I got my fingers typing faster then the ol brain could translate, your fine again I'm sorry If I came across the wrong way - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans True no way for sure are they better. - -In a 7 game series U Conn wins 6. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Blown Boy that sounds soooo familer, only my one boy wanted to draw in the dirt lmao. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 I remember coaching kids in a program called CAA. - - different ages 4th , 5th , and 6th -graders. - -coached both football and basketball. - -Got so much enjoyment out of that , the experiences, different happenings crazy. - -I remember had this one boy, he was something else, ha had to always keep track of the little guy for sure - -if he wasn't playing at the time it was the football you could almost always find him behind the bench playing in the dirt lmao, Come to realize he must have been figuring out - -THE NEXT PLAY lol, or it was classic to be in a time out talking about certain plays to run, and then have a boy speak up so proudly about a play he had made maybe from a quarter before lmao, kinda like ummm HUH lol.

Then of course I had some years had some really good teams, had a team where we hadn't been scored on all year, and it was like the next to last game of the year and we were just whooping the dog out of this team felt so bad, they were let'say umm not quite as good, and we were up I think like 62-0 - -and some of the parents of the other team were upset- -thought I was running up the score, thought I should be suspended, because of it - -BUT hey what could I do - -Hell I swapped my QB and my starting running backs for 3 of my offensive linemen and BAM the 1st time one of my offensive line touched the ball 80 yds and a TD, BUT you know what? - -I wouldn't trade those times for anything in the world - -special times. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr Well -depends on what color the Ribbon was lmao. - -If anything other then Blue for first, then you better pick up the slack lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans LOL, a little to late for this ol geezer to get any kind of degree lol - -well might major in how to get along with the wife lol - -wonder how much one of those costs lol. - -- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay ya it does sounds very uh complex to me, I guess that why I never made College lol, hell I don't even know what half of the degrees are good for little lone try to major in lol. - -My major if I were in college would of probably lasted 1 semester it would of been " advanced drinking and partying 101 sad yes I know but hey what can I say. Props to Frank - - that's why I probably ended up working for the State of Kansas as a drivers license examiner issuing license to all the lovely teens - -sorry guys lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 Thank you, this is greatly appreciated, so yes it sounds like it could be many, many things -good for Frank wish him nothing but greatness in his future, - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark No One deserves it more. The things he has done here just have to say WAY TO GO COACH. I know he wasn't satisified with how things turned out, BUT over the years I wouldn't trade him for anyone else , and yet still you have idiots calling to lead a charge of LET'S FIRE BILL CAMPAIGN - -people like this just show their ignorance, totally clueless, classless idiots who know NOTHING, other then sitting back in that over stuffed lazy boy each and every game day and putting their un defeated record on the line their 1 million and zero record, each and every game day with their probably cram of the crop the top of the class OL MILWAUKEE'S BEST BEER in one hand and their OVER SIZE HOAGIE in the other hand spewing out their un-believable knowledge of the game cussing at Bill, oh how ENVIOUS , I am of the multiple great multiple un-defeated arm chair basketball genius we have in our midst.

Ok I'm done be my typical smart ass all that is left to say is - -Great Job coach & as always ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Dam guys, have you ever heard the phrase "-FRAZIER GOES DOWN, FRAZIER GOES DOWN? " WELL - - - -" U CONN GOES DOW , U CONN GOES DOWN " Man ol Man what a BALLGAME U Conn losing last night in OT 66-64 - - -the streak comes to an end, incredible scene , can you imagine, the feeling that gal felt, hitting the game winning jumper with like 1 sec to go in OT.

The same team that U Conn beat by 60 last year, crowd going beserk , and why not David just slew Goliath. an 111 game winning streak, hadn't been beaten in 4 years. This is something that that girl will never forget, will be able to tell one of those stories how he team beat the Jewel of Women's College basketball , All I can say/do is give all the props for achieving to what seem the un-achievable . - -What a seen, classy interview by the U Conn coach, but would you expect anything else ?- - - Congradulations ladies. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ok here we go question time & before someone says " goggle it " - - -I already did so that's that. My question is & what I am looking for an answer to is - -Can someone please break it down for me for an old dirt farmer with a simple mind: So in simple terms when a player - -such as Frank is - when his major is Liberal arts and Science - -I plain simple English what kind of work field does that break down to? - -What is it would he be doing? - -Just curious? - -Simple easy feedback Please - -I'm not trying to be smart a- - I don't know , would like to know , out of curiousity -what do people like this, what is the job field they are in - -goggled it and it was really detailed, to detailed for me - - -looking for something short and sweet - -Thanks everyone - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 seen this too, I'm not sure if it was just the reporter or he mentioned I think it was the reporter, he listed Kansas but also some others saying that Makai was looking for a place where he could get his hands on the ball immediately - well here we are, I think he would be a nice catch - -again shaping up - -ALOT of players opening up - -again for the spring signing - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Well that sounds favorable - -hopefully anyways. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@justanotherfan Very good view, very well put - -unlike myself lol I sometimes can't get what I want to say to come out the way I would like, and that in turn makes people think that I'm trying to insult them or be little them which is not the case and I'm not saying this is the case in this scenario but bottom line very valid point s I reckon is all I need to say here. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Not trying to say it is better at all. Just saying they took the opportunity that was at hand and succeeded, for sure it's not better, but I'm not going to over look the accomplishment they achieved. I have no doubt Jamie will once he has his players in the next couple of years will for sure turn this program into a much better program. - -In just the first year with none or limited players of his own -I think Fisher is his but what he did with that programs deserves props I for one am happy for him - -Again it's for the best for the conference - -we sure the hell don't want to be thrown into the same pot as WSU. It's already been said in our league it's KU and a bunch of wanna be. - -People making statements that no wonder we have won 13 straight years - -we have no competition, - -People saying that's another reason we have such little success in the NCAA'S

Until we have better quality, teams representing doing better in the NCAA'S we will continue to get these kind of statements from people - -TCU is getting better Jamie was a hell of a catch for them, not for sure just how strong they will challenge KU in the next couple of years BUT they will challenge the upper crust for sure in the next couple of years ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans So what you think? - -You think we have a legit shot for him? - -Would you want him? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So my friends, let me ask you this - -Just how much of a legit contender for Shakur are we? - -We for sure could use him correct? - -I see posted he was ranked # 1 - -is this for Juco in Kansas OR in the Nation? -I think before this is all said and done this season I think we are going to end up with yet 2-3 more players and I feel we may be surprises just exactly how well we turn out. - - Seems to be even yet at this point there are actually quite a few quality players whether high School route, Post Grad or just regular transfers, going to be very interesting how this all turns out. - - I think just like always we are going to be just fine. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Dang my friend , Looks like Texas Tech did a really good job with these Juco's can't do anything but help their program for sure, This league is getting to be very competitive , It's getting to the point that there is no gimme's any longer. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Ya I hear ya, You know for me anyways these shoe company getting this involved which in turn has an effect on how a recruitment may turn out. - - I think there has gotten to be so many factors anymore with the recruitments of these guys Seems to many outside factors playing into recruitment anymore - -it's all about money in one sort or another. - 100% correct Totally Crazy times. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wrwlumpy My point exactly, they are going to be very competitive, the more years Jamie is there and he gets HIS PLAYERS in the program they gonna be fine.. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans AND the only team left standing from the big 12 - -the only team that won a postseason title, come on man let's be real, I'll pull for EVERY TEAM from our conference come post season, like I said over and over this just makes our conference look that much stronger - -The biggest reason they didn't make the NCAA is because of getting beat up within the conference - -out of conference sure didn't do anything to hurt them. I'm not going to come on and sound like I'm jealous I*'m going to give credit where credit is due. - They ha a good year - - good for them and they will only get better with Dixon there. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Ya me neither. I just think you know - -that's just totally beyond logic, I mean that's just taking the game way to far - - I mean ya I get wrapped up, maybe to much has almost got me in trouble- BUT to threatened someone's life? - - -Come on let's be real. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 very true, I hear what your saying. I will say that during his interview at the McDonalds the question was brought up about the whol over sea's scenario - -he seemed pretty adamant saying NO he was not saying he had things to take care of here that over sea's was not an option I dunno, but sounded pretty convincing that was not part of the equation. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

YA, so very true- - -ha boy do I know about the way a divorcee was kind of looked at, but now it seems almost TO easy for a divorce, just seems a lot of times couple argue and the 1st thought crosses the kids minds - -the hell with this I'll just get a divorce. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 Ya I kind of thought the same. My sister and I were just talking and I was talking about his love for his son and how you could just tell his boy was his life, and she happen to ask - -I said I wasn't sure or not, not I too had just never heard anything mentioned - - just curious that's all. - Didn't see any lady there on Senior night but one never knows. - -Thanks for the feed back. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@REHawk Totally agree I'm glad they won the NIT, any win in post season does nothing but help the Conference. -We had these people talking smack about how KU lost to TCU & yet TCU turns around and wins the tourney, goes to show the team that didn't make the tourney is still pretty salty -- - tough conference. This is Jamie Dixon, I said I thought he was a great hire that he would great at things for TCU

For this being Jamie's 1st year and be able to get to the NIT and WIN the NIT in his 1st year is pretty good, the 1st post season success in the schools history. In time when Jamie gets more of his own recruits they can very easily become a factor along with the likes of West Virginia, Baylor, & Iowa State - - this league only continues to get tougher - -Yet the cream is always at the top - - KU - -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Guys I have a question & I seriously don't know so let me asked is Frank Married? -- My sister was asking, I said I'm not sure we was talking about how you could tell he loved his son to death - -just curious, haven't ever heard anything mentioned - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
