@wissox I agree. Right about where I thought we would be. Actually exactly where I thought we would be. I thought we would have one loss but the only difference was I thought it would be turned around. - -I thought we would beat Indiana and lose to Duke, but I for sure will take where we are.

You are also right about trying and tempering our enthusiasm maybe just a little, like you said this was UNC -ASHVILLE, probably one of the weaker teams we have on the schedule for this year. As we all know or should know, Udoka will not be able to just have his way dunk, after dunk, after dunk as we get later into the year and play stiffer competition - - Like Baylor comes to mind, pretty long and tall - - Kentucky comes to mind, so he is going to have to continue and try to work and develop his little jump hook or some kind of offensive shot on top of his monster dunks. - - -BUT having said that, you can see he IS progressing, just keep working without fouling, and get his conditioning down and then - -LOOK OUT.

We also know that we are not going to have this huge of a rebounding advantage every game, unc-ashville was greatly outsized by us, so this is probably something that should of been expected on the boards. - - -BUT having said that, MAN I love LaGerald, I think he is going to end up being a really, really, good player, long, athletic, got some serious hops and can play multiple positions. Josh is really settling in, getting his comfort zone, makes some really sweet passes just an overall COMPLETE package - -does it all.

Overall was a great game, we are getting better, getting a little rest for our guards is huge, long season - - I think this is going to be a sweet season - -a long season - -BUT a very sweet season - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

well that was a nice scrimmage, good to give Frank a LITTLE rest. -- - 28 minutes tonight, hard to take away a lot from a game like this - -I mean let's be serious this was UNC- Ashville - - BUT still good to get our beast some playing time - -let's face it he is not going to be able to dunk every time later in the year when he plays quality big, but he is getting there. - -I really like LaGerald the guy can get to the boards, if he can get his three top start dropping did decent tonight ya just that much better for us. -- -Jackson settling in and looking good - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Udoka doing fine - -BUT we have to keep this real, big size advantage, later on won't be able to dunk every attempt - - BUT glad he getting PT - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity hey guess what? - - - ONE foul at the half - - -lordy lordy - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Welp here we go Udoka starting - - - - Neither Bragg or Lucas starting, let's see if this doesn't get them some motovation - - better play. Vick also starting - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Lulufulu ya, Baylor actually largest deficit was 22 and they won - -they gonna be salty,, Still runs through Lawrence and trust the phog, just got to get our big's to going. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY.

@HawkChamp NO, I didn't see his twitter, just doesn't look good right now - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Well have to say guy, this is the first time I have seen any footage of Wooten, and I know this is HI-LIGHT BUT still - - - got to say I think that caught my eye right off the bat is this kid has some serious hops. - - -Really like his ability to really get up - -specially on the defensive end - - had some serious serious blocks - -just nasty. like that.

The article says we are trying to make him a priority - - - would be a nice get put him in with Preston, the question I have what happens if Bragg comes back next year? -- then all of a sudden we have Bragg, Preston & Wooten all in the same position right? - - still would like to have him. - -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Looks like it's gonna be interesting the championship always has - -and until proven different will always run through Lawrence - -but like it or not - - Looks like Baylor has got a pretty salty ball club this year, down 22 to Louisville and comes back and wins, pretty sweet. - - Think it will be Baylor & then West Virginia, & Iowa State as our challengers this season, nothing given - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

then he needs to come here lol. " the best situation to have success right away" he wants to win wherever he goes - - -WELCOME TO KU Trevon - -your best decision - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark seems to me if I remember right it was actually a pretty close decision for him LAST year - - as of this point he is not ready, hope he doesn't make a huge mistake. - - I think he will get it turned around, just a slow start, hopefully pull out of this - - As for Landen people saying his foot, his foot. I've got a feeling it's more then his foot, something just not right, I think he is doubting himself right now, plus these kids read media comments, puts ALL that much more pressure on them just a repeat of last year for him people coming down on him already. Idunno where to go with him - -we need him hell not even so much for his offense but he isn't cutting it on the defensive end either. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Iowa State always complains about other places especially us in Allen - - they have some really idiot fans. - On the other hand Baylor looks pretty salty nice club. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity lol, that's just me - -- I'm a fretter - - I will fret for the entire group lo, have a great day - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KUSTEVE you silly lol - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hey my friends, Just wanted to take a minute this early morning and say - - -HAPPY THANKSGIVING. - - each and every one of you please be safe, and enjoy this day.

Yes I know we sometimes, hell maybe a lot of times have differences of views BUT I'm just here to say I enjoy each and everyone of you differences of opinions or not sometimes - - I still love this site, a lot of interesting topics

Just enjoy and again be safe - - crazy roads if your traveling, want to be sure to see you on the other side of this holiday. Chow down on that food, but yet not to much - - Again HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY JAYHAWK FRIENDS and as always ROCK CHALK BABY ALL DAY LONG. - - - - MAY GOD BLESS

@justanotherfan Cruised? - - -you did say Cruised?- - -dam that's what I thought you said lmao, but ok you run with that . Wonder if we were to ask Coach Self if he would of said that we cruised? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp don't say that TO LOUD. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well with the way Bragg has started this season, I would say that he will be back for his JR season, or let me say he should for sure come back, would be a huge mistake to declare . Hopefully Wooten will come I think he would be fine. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@stoptheflop I brought this up yesterday. People say that people who talk like myself believe the sky is falling, that they will come around. - - Will they? - - Maybe. - - -I know this, like you our big's aren't bringing it. When you have your STARTING big gets ONE shot in two games, - - -scores two points , and your other four combined big's only combine for 13 points in the two games AND our group commits TWENTY SIX fouls. and shoot six for fifthteen for the group - - twist it any way you want - - -that's NOT GOOD.

People say oh well the guards can carry us through, to which I say maybe, but as long as Frank and Josh and Devonte have to continue to play the minutes they are having to play, they ARE going to wear down, we have got to get them some rest. The reason they are having to play so many minutes in part is because the Big's are not getting it done - - Period. What has happened to Landen? You can tell he is digging himself a hole with Coach Self, - - not happy,, not happy at all. - - -Bragg? he almost looks scared, intimidated at times, But I have more faith that he will come around. - - -Actually I think Azubike is our best chance, yes VERY RAW but I think by conference season maybe our answer.

For people just to assume ya they will come around my response to that is - - -they better. If they keep playing like they are, then we have serious issues. We will come up against some teams that give us fits - -not only are they bad right now offensively but like was mentioned we are offering NO challenge defensively, no resistance at all , getting beat on the boards, , you not giving anything on the offensive side -- you doing nothing on the defensive end then WHY you out there? Again you can say what you want, good for you that's what it's about but I'm telling you without hearing people saying OH there are people who think the sky is falling - -in reality our big's at this point are a negative for this team - -they have a long ways to go. - You think Coach isn't really really ticked? - - ya ok you keep thinking that. - -Ya I know your gonna say oh Coach Self will get it turns around, ya your right more then likely - -just saying they have a LONG ways to go, right now and it is ugly we are getting next to nothing. coleby actually probably did the best of the group he was giving effort anyways

Thank goodness it is non-con and hopefully out big can get this turned around. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

well, so let's hear what's it going to take to get production out of our front court? As much as it pains me, we are not going to win the NCAA title if we don't get better point production from our front line. You just can't expect our guards to carry ALL the way through the Championship.

As mentioned last night multiple times by commentators I mean if you can't get better production then 10 points out of our 3 frontline guys Lucas, Bragg, Udoka -- were in trouble. The defense as we get deeper will adjust as we right now at this point have absolutely no inside threat.

Landen have to say there is no excuse - -coach has said as much - - -Bragg I mean I'm really baffled there, should be getting more - -- Udoka, I understand, he is very raw and I feel in time even by conference he is going to be a huge factor for us, BUT it just won't happen, as good as our guards are we have to have some kind of inside presence, make the other teams play us straight up and not cheat off our bigs.

Was a good game last night - - not great.we jumped out all over them right off the bat, and then I dunno it's like we became dis-interested or something - - -Coach couldn't of been happy, but it's non-con have time to get things straightened out - -got to improve our free throw shooting -- -rebounding got to get better- - - and get our to's reduced - -AND GET HELP from our big's - - - on to the next guy - -Georgia, gonna need to bring it - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I know not basketball BUT how's this for a name - - - we just got this commitment this morning in Football.

His name is - - -Hasan - - -DEFENSE - -yep that's right last name is DEFENSE lol - - -juco corner back from Kilgore, Texas - - - sorry guys had to post. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp You know and ya I'm sure it will happen, cause YES they are very good players they keep talking about how scary good they will be - - - -will they? - - more then likely yes - - -But come on now let's not put these guys in the hall of fame before they have played ONE minute of College basketball. Again hell ya they are good - -but college basketball is full of really good players.

Big difference from being able to take candy from a baby in high school to major college Basketball. That's why we have a Basketball Season - -other wise hell let's not even waste our time and have a Season - -WE all see how loaded they are, so let's just air ship the NC
AA trophy and call it good.

You all know I'm being very Sarcastic but let's at least play it out. As we all know come NCAA tourney time there is a lot of things that go into play. - - Who's playing their best ball, Missed jumper Here, Missed Jumper there, Bad Call here, Bad Call there, one team just having a bad night. the other team having an exceptional night, It's a ONE game thing - - One bad night and your out - -whether during the season you were head and shoulders above the rest of the College Basketball teams or not
In a seven game series ya Duke probably wins 6-7 times - - but it is a ONE game series anyways let's play ot out and see - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ya I know, but I get really really tired of hearing Vitale suck up to the ACC, it's just wreaks. - The announcer talking about Rhode Island and of course gold ol Dicky V takes the opportunity to make the ingenious statement - - I'll tell you about Duke my friend - - Duke is ALWAYS going to get everyone's best shot - - -WTH, what the hell -- what kind of statement is that? - -I mean that's like saying you wanna know what? -- I think the sun is coming up tomorrow. - - But it's like any other school isn't going to get a teams best shot. - - If your any blue blood NOT just DUKE - -your gonna get their best shot. But it's not just that statement, it's he repeatedly says this crap about Duke - - or North Carolina over, and over, and over So come on out bring a friend should be a great Wedding. -- I know this, Dickie V is going to take DUKE best shot - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

somebody help me interrupt this - -- per Eric Bossi " Kansas basically running " do him" right now - - talking about Trae - - - what the hell is that surpose to mean?

Also love how Billy is throwing out on his twitter already encouraging KU fans saying you think we can get Trevon to come on board too? - -Doesn't hurt him and Billy are buddies Hopefully he is talking to Duval, I guess they had been talking some where along the line of possibly playing together - - we shall see - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Also have to say - - -DAMM proud of the guys, work every day in practice, have competed at times in multiple games this year, just haven't been able to compete for the full 4 quarters - -we have some pieces, our defense getting better have some pretty sweet players in spots Armstrong is a stud, Wise, Lee defense gonna get better we just need to improve the offense to help our defense stay off the filed longer, don't care how good your defense is, if your on the field 80% of the game they gonna wear down.

I think Carter doin adequate job at QB question is how will it carry into next year? - - I do feel he should probably go into next spring as him and our red shirt doing battle to see who wins the start -- I've heard rumors that Willis may be transferring out. Cozart not an option we ARE making progress - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I say C after the TCU game, I think Charlie already knows but they won't make it official till after the last game which will be Friday. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity taking the conference championship away from them in Volleyball - - -now beating them in football lol

@kjayhawks HELL YOU SHOULD OF BEEN HERE WITH ME, I WOULD OF SHARED A HANKY LOL - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

That last post should of been 1st time we have beat Texas in football since 1938 sorry - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

1 st time we have beat Texas in Football. I was watching the Longhorn network you should of heard them at half and then again after the game - - -OMG -- then did you see the Texas players on the field after the game - -throwing tantrums lie little kids lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@stoptheflop I'm glad some one else see's this GONZALEZ just fumbles to much scares the hell out of me, we can't have that - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

HELLLL YA - - so proud of this football team, they worked, & worked. showing a few signs of improvement and FINALLY today that work paid off. - -what a way for the Seniors to go out in their final game in Lawrence.

Happy for coach Beaty maybe people can back up just a lil, ya I know he still needs to release those offensive Co position -- - - -but still I'm so proud of them all. - -This dam Defense worked it's asss of today. Crawl before we can walk.

BUT WHAT A WEEK FOR KU SPORTS LET'S REVIEW: Monday we beat the # 1 team in College Basketball, Friday Coach Self becomes the winningest Basketball coach in Ku history for wins at Allen, This Morning Our Lady Jayhawks win at least a share of the Big Twelve championship in Volleyball and then this Afternoon we BEAT Texas in FOOT, BALL - - -YOU HEAR ME - - - FOOT BALL lmao, way to go guys. - - Ah yes life is good De- Throning Texas in Volley Ball AND Beating them in football both in the same week - -HELL YA - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 ya I saw he is visiting - - - - -not impressed. when he was playing in limited action against D-1 competition he TD- INT ratio NOT GOOD. ya he did ok in Juco - - - that was Juco, but hope he enjoys his visit.

I STILL say our future QB is red shirting this year, our dual threat QB, bottom line our QB spot is a mess, although Carter has done ok, maybe he could really help down the line - -just got to be or red shirt - -I have a vison lmao - -yes it's him

As far as a prediction? - - - YIKES afraid it's going to be ugly like 48-7, man we have some pieces on Defense -- Lee, Armstong, our other D-Lineman his name escapes me we have some nice receivers, some decent RB'S, there will come a day - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ya for sure, I'll be happy with either two as long as we can land one Duval - -or Young - -wait and se - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well we have went to a draw to end the 1st half with NC - -45 minutes down, NC - -7 shots on goal - - KU 5 shots on goal - - -NC 3 saves- - -And KU 2 saves - - good 1st half- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark understand now I know seeing aas how that he is all but a wrap to Kentucky -- BUT they are on Matt Coleman big time - - and have been for quite some time ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 Correct me if I'm wrong, but like you I'm not concerned really about Duke. The reason being from everything I've seen they were really focusing on two others either Quade Green OR Matt Coleman & with it looking more and more like Green will predict for Kentucky makes it look like duke will end up with Coleman. Could be wrong just the way I see it

Not concerned with Seton Hall or Baylor -- Not really that much of tradition true Blue bloods - -Now Arizona tell me more about them, how do they fit I don't know I'm tired of them already lol.
Also with Green predicting to or I feel he will tomorrow, I think this helps us some with Trae could be way off but maybe between the two - -hell I would take either one - -But Trevon would be REALLY SWEET. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 I do too. I can't see where it can do anything BUT HELP us hopefully with Trevon, let Billy do a little recruiting for us - - get his buddy to come along, would be a sweet group - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Matt Tait is reporting that Billy has already signed his LOI during the early signing period, that would be sweet - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@hawkmoon2020 Just posted off another thread I just read off another site -- Rayford young tweeted out - - - yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa Billy, Love it man, congrads young man, wish that held some insight behind that - - but I know just a tweet - - - I do think it can't hurt that Billy is friends with Duval - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I know for what it's worth just saying read off another sire - -that just a couple of minutes ago -- Rayford. Young just tweeted out - - - - yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa BILLY, Love it man, Congradulations young man. - -hmmmm. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 Well I dunno maybe not as a bizarre thought as what I thought at first. - - Been reading a little more and hearing from some that follow that all the talk is which makes sense that NO WAY will Greene and Young both end up at Kentucky. - -Soo which would leave us at between OU & KU just have to wait and see - Quade again I think is announcing tomorrow - -we shall see - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAY

@BShark hey thanks, can I ask where did you hear that? just wondering, I know from on here I had seen probably this weekend. - -I'm still even with every thing in question I hope we can get him to predict here - now him actually stepping foot here - -that's a different story - - let's just hope EVERYTHING pans out- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ok. I know this is probably out - - way out in left field, but at least it will get your Friday of to a chuckle. - Ok, the question is:

Is there ANY possible even the slightest - -teensy - - -weensy - - microscophic - - -snowball's chance in hell, that we would have any kind of a chance of a pot to pee in of possibly ,still having a chance of luring Trae Young to come play for KU?

Not sure WHY I'm even asking, maybe for the comedy I know, and NO I haven't touched my pipe and or been nipping at the bottle this morning lol, I know it looked really, really crazy even when I was typing. The only reason I even BEGAN to think about maybe, like in as maybe like getting hit by a truck, I thought well you know with what it's looking more and more like Quade Green might be landing at Kentucky - - -Then - - - - Possibly? I mean I think the longer he waits to decide, and he has said he isn't announcing till spring, well yes that pretty much leaves him with Oklahoma or KU - - If Quade does go to Kentucky I just can't see it - -I just can't, both going to Kentucky. So that means chances are he lands at Oklahoma - - BUT if he holds out till the spring to announce, has some more time to think about it - - -maybe somehow he comes in again on an in-official during the season here catches a game- - -I know he has been here several times in the past. I just think if he watches during the season again, assuming Greene does commit to UK which I think he will, I think he is going to announce his decision tomorrow night I read, - -watches our team - -the atmosphere and such -- -ehh, MAYBE? - - MAYBE? - - -hell I'm just blowin smoke up my own ass I know but hey doesn't hurt to dream.

Ok NOW all my site room buddies can suggest some good meds I could get on for delusional thinking or maybe a good physc hospital lol. - - -have a great day guys - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Our boys are doing us well.- - - -Just think If Jo Jo was playing more: - - - he is averaging 18 pts & 7.3 rebounds per game in 22 minutes of playing time right now - -but that wil go up

Then our other stud Wiggs - -averaging 26.6 pts & 3.9 rebounds - - looking really sweet
ROCK CHAL;K ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks ya agreed hope not. I think we have Iowa State Saturday right? then close out at Baylor. I think maybe a sprain hopefully not bad - - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks OOOPS, DID YOU SEE MY POST? - - -Kelsie Payne is hurt - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 OH ok thanks. I didn't know, I know he is really good from everything I had heard, would be huge get. Who knows if he steps foot here or not, sure would be nice- - -we shall see ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well our ladies won their match against West Virginia in 5. Payne must of got hurt I think an ankle, when I turned in she wasn't playing and didn't play at all.
The broadcaster said she had shoe off and ankle wrapped, hopefully not to bad. Three freshman played a lot do well. - - Hope Kelsie not to severe - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 got a question as I haven't really seen any tape of Duval but - -is there a possibility he compares to Mello Tremble from Maryland? - - better? worse serious I dunno, just asking? your right the whole recruiting is just off the charts - - - - -ROCK CHAL;K ALL DAY LONG BABY
