We or I assume we all have heard or know that Frank hasn't been given much of a chance for the NBA. Well I was listening to a local sports radio broadcast today, and they were talking about Frank, and said they feel he will or should get his shot. - -They brought up a pretty good comparison, they said there is guy right now that's doing a really good job as a back up point guard, that Frank is very comparable to, this one went undrafted - -name of Van Fleet from Wichita State, ya - -Fred, they said somebody like Frank has to be tough, must be able to knock down the outside shot, must be able to penetrate and they said ALL of which Frank does well, said eally no difference between him and Van-Fleet - - just hought they had some pretty good points. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo WOAAAAAA, how did we move up my friend, we haven't added anymore after bing rank 9th - -whaaa happened lol. -- Like said it won't stay that way & you know I would be perfectly happy right now if we finished anywhere from 10-20 in the Nation, would still kick any other recruiting class I can remember for anytime, would kick any other right square in the butt, we say it won't last BUT wouldn't it be AWSOME and also funny as hel for other schools if we could keep that. Just think we add any other top recruits, might have a shot of staying maybe in the top 10 - -that would be AWSOME - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well story even though back in the early 70's when that was me - -you really didn't have a lot of left hand pitchers, which was a bonus for me, got to go to Cincinnati's farm system after a tryout at Butler County, went to the farm system- -but just didn't work out couldn't get over the hump, I guess I was looking for a quick hit - -the quick trip up and that just doesn't happen, and of course you didn't make near the money then as you do know, frustration set in and I dunno still frustrating.
A lot going on, getting married trying to settle into that - frustrated over not achieving where I wanted to be, - -I remember going back to my old high school watching a football game, and ran across my old Base ball or one of my old Coaches and he asks , says can I ask you a question - -so I say sure, and he says WHY didn't you try a little longer maybe harder to hit your goal, make THAT major -- and I couldn't really give a solid answer, and he says well I know this he says I've seen a lot of players, coached a lot of pitchers - -and I've NEVER seen a pitcher be able to throw a curve like you make makes your break, - -and then your velocity was sweet, and it was great to get the compliment - but yet just brought back the frustration ya know lol -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

He for sure WILL NOT be playing in a packed house all the time at OU , there are times there seems to look half empty , and there are times when even more full the atmosphere just doesn't begin to compare with ours. There are times -a lot of times you could almost hear a pin drop in there. It's not like when Chew Kennedy and the gang was there.
Oklahoma is young really really young, unless maybe he wants to be a part of their movement , seems like I heard someone say they thought OU had their PG of the future - -MCClusky? - - is that right - -I don't know, is he their PG
Man you brought up some excellent points, although as far as the backlash from local fans - -I think he will still face that, I know I read off their board people talking about him and them asking if he wanted the same reaction another player got for leaving the state -- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Man I'm telling you, there are some KU fans that just REALLY chap my ass. This crap getting really old. Now let me preface this so NO ONE in here has kittens or anything BUT I was just talking to my brother and what he told me, makes me want to take a bat to some peoples heads.
He said that on one of his KU boards he didn't say what one it was, that the KU fans was really giving Frank the crap because of him putting his finger to his lips to say like to the K- State fans quiet at the end of the game. They said that Frank was being did-respectual to the K-State students and fans. agging them on. - -Now like what I am going to say - hate what I'm going to say - -let me say, I don't care but to these kinds of actions let me say - - -
BULLSHIT. These kinds of fans are the let me grease you up, how far can we see if we can bury our nose up one anothers you know what. A - - kissing, fair weather fans. If your going to get on Frank for what you think is dis-respecting the K-Straight crows - you remember President Nixon's favorite high School, then you and I have serious issues .All I have to say is, after what they were chanting all through the game, I had friends that went and the crowd in one of their tidy little chants Hey Frank - go - -F - - - you. so, your telling me that's ok for them to agg Frank during the game, but in the end when it comes time for Frank to have his turn -- it's called Karma - -be very careful it doesn't come back and bite you in your ass, but when it's HIS turn, he is being dis-respectful - -hmmmmm? - - -whaaaaaa? - - SERIOUS? did he insult any family members?- -did he get personal about any family? was he foul mouthed? - -Did he make any kind of innapporiate sexual gesture? - -NOPE, he put his finger to his mouth for them to sssssssshhhhhhhh. - -THATS IT. - but yet we have KU fans from other boards riding his ass about being Disrespectful, give me a break - -Salty? hell yes a little Salty - -I love it- -a little attitude. - did he do back flips on your floor? - - -NOPE simply ssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh. - -For those fans I say HIT THE ROAD and step the hell back up off these KU kids - -they haven't don't squat but return the jest - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

To follow up on this a little more, just now read an article from 247 sports which stated:
The Big 12 stated that it will withhold 25% of future revenue from Baylor pending a review of the institutional governance of the inner collegiate athletics programs.. Basically that boils down to, the Baylor athletics was give a 30 million dollar share of the league revenue this year minus the 25% equals out to being penalized they said like 7.5 million.
The report says the bottom line is - - -in reality the Big 12 conference made merely the illusion of action.
In simple terms the Big 12 is withholding revenue from Baylor until a 3rd party review ensures that Baylor has made the necessary changes.
The Big 12 & NCAA have done NOTHING tangible to this point, leaving Baylor in charge of it's own discipline., Article says more should be done. Once they feel it has been satisified, and the sanctions are lifted, they can be lifted quickly, the money that was being withheld will be given back to Baylor as it is just being held in Escrow.
Man how's that for punishment for the crap that's going on there? - -absolutely zero pretty much. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@JayHawkFanToo I think he probably played to much for a medical , but wouldn't swear to that Isn't a certain percentage of the games before they can't qualify ? - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 I'm thinking that with him being out for the majority of this year, I fully myself believe that we will STILL have him for a full two yrs more, I mean he wasn't developed, not even close. Now with the set back he has had I feel this has still set his timetable if that's what it was, it has set it back to still two years, cause I'm sure he hasn't been able to do ANYTHING. - -I feel we will have him for his Soph & JR yrs. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@drgnslayr I was curious, I didn't realize he had broke any thing - -did he? -- I too thought or was under the assumption it was torn ligaments, which actually is worse yet isn't it? - - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@KansasComet Probably very true. That's the thing they were talking about on ESPN, they said the AAU coaches - -the high School coaches not to happy with the Ball brothers, but they also mentioned how the Balls were so good on the floor, but if you tried to talk to them OFF the floor how quiet and almost timid they are. - -Dad does all the talking for them, -- there you have it - -the influence, - -they guy was ask what he thought dad would think about how his son's are looked at about no defense - -the reporters response? - - Oh I'm sure the dad doesn't care - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@ralster indeed it does, you know trying to keep things in perspective- -here we hear quite a bit, about our situation and people from across the conference and nation, I've been on other boards and people calling KU thugs and oh how KU will cover it up and pay victims off , and ya, da, ya da you know? - When you put this in perspective and NO not trying to justify ANY of it by any means because whatever thing did happen -- there is no justifying for any of it - -BUT compared to the problems Baylor is having the things listed above plus the Gang rapes, and the 52 rapes period over the 4 yr period is like day and night.

Well, this whole Baylor escapade just continues. To think about how people jumped ALL over the things which surposedly happened/did happen at McCarthy , while not trying to justify anything that did/might of happened , but this Baylor thing is unbelievable.
Brandon Washington , the Strength & conditioning Coach was arrested Saturday for encounter of a prostitute , at a Hotel. This is just the latest of things the football program has been involved/accused in.
According to reports Baylor provided information , that former Coach Art Briles and former athletic director of situations and tried cover up of various infractions. things that have taken place include: - Players doing drugs, Players selling drugs , Pulling a Gun on another student , assaulting another student, Was aware of these situations and never pursued proper disciplinary procedure. McCaw instead of reporting things kept it in house and went to Briles instead.
Briles and McCaw allegedly discussed gang rape of five football players instead of following procedure. This crap is UGLY, - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
