i do

will someone give me a SOUND reason why Serbia more or less fouls intentionally with the score tied and like 12 seconds to go? the worst case they play straight up defense and we go into overtime. yes Wayne only makes one, BUT why would you foul with the score tied and you play D and its overtime? what am I missing? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

SORRY MEANT HEAR. LOL

ok guys, so whats the concensus? not knowing what Serbia has, looks like then been winning by abut a average of 22 per game, I think it will be close either way, wanting to think with my head and not my heart. that's why I say close either way, hopefully we can just keep doing what we've been doing, but this is a different horse. Sooo, what ya think? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Huge game with Serbia, lets hope the guys can come out and get after it , which I believe they will. The one thing I have liked is the way we have rebounded and controlled the glass, We dominated Brasil, and then just and yes I know, but we destroyed Chile. Good to see Nic break out a bit & frank able to knock down some outside shots, he had said his wrist had been pretty sore. We will probably need everyone in tune against Serbia can't wait We gotta keep things real, as we all know Chile must be pretty bad, been blown out in all their games, but still we won and won huge couldn't be prodder of the guys so far. Question they take the top 2 teams out of each pool so I would think we make the medal rounds right? lets hope we stay on our game, been very beneficial for the team GOOD UCK GYS. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I'm hoping Perry fifn't get hurt, he disappeared and never came back in after contact I think slightly after midway through the 3rd quarter, hit his knee and the I believe a time out or something and looked like he might have walked off with a slight limp, but not 100 % sure. All I know is he never came back in. he didn't play in the 4th I know for sure anybody know? Great game, Seldon play another great game, glad to see the bigs help out, Jamari & Mickelson both good game.ic had a horrible game , turnovers and fouls out but hey we won which is huge. International play is so physical should help us regular season well on to the next game. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

well I tell you what. got to say like how we fought through. holy crap Turkey was big, I'm not necessarily talking height but tall and body mass. The 6ft 11 player multiple times, obvious international ball just lowered his body backed in, backed I, dipping the shoulder and running over the KU man, Lucas and Jamari just the way international ball is I reckon.Glad to see Moore come around a little in the 2nd half, Wayne looked really good, Perry was nice, not as much in the 2nd but very solid, and Frank some steady play throughout, and bigger later in the 4th quarter. Got to say good start to the games, aas they were saying Turkey and Serbia were the stronger ones in our pool, good to get that 1st win. one obversation that I'm sure who knows anything though is we have got to get some kind of production out of our bigs, Landen, Mickelson, Jamari. Jamari did a few oher things but we are going to have to get something. BUT not getting down cause OUR GUYS won. GREAT for U.S.A GREAT FOR THE JAYHAWKS. on to Sunday ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans hey thanks dylans, correct me cause I guess I mistook something . I could of swore they said some of them was also on ESPN2 not tripping I have ESPNU but my brother is gonna miss out, he is HUGE KU fan iwould let him watch here but no way would he come over for the times of these games lmao, only one might be the July 8th versus Switzerland. they give any reason as to why they are not showing the Chile game? thanks so much bud ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 dam thanks bud. I wonder what happened? I could of swore they had said some on ESPN 2 also, but its no biggie I've got all of them but thanks for the info. i'll check it out ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

hey guys, was checking my TV schedule for the games, I got through the first 3 and have a question? OK I know the games are on ESPNU but was also my understanding or so I could of swore that some of these were going to be on ESPN OR ESPN 2 also., the thing is I've search my TV guide and I don't see any of the first 3 on ESPN OR ESPN2, anybody know? for myself I'm good but my brother doesn't get ESPNU and I know he is gonna be hot.So if anyone knows what games are coming on ESPN OR ESPN 2 please holler ok? Another thing is I scrolled ESPNU for our 3rd game which is Chile, and at the time the game is on, they are showing us playing Brazil again and then Turkey again so fill me in guys. I appreciate any and all help. really getting excited this is crazy. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY. my crimson and blue blood is bubbling lol

well guys, just wanted to say, to the team, good luck in the WUG'S. all that I personally ask for is you play hard, compete hard, do that and win lose as long as you represent, show up then coo. guys whether we win or lose, I feel we win, I just can't see any negatives, the experience that will be gained from these games, the chance for our guys to be able to practice and work together, the experience of playing against some very good talent, older players, all I ask is play with confidence you'll be fine, you do the best you can advance as far as you can then AWSOME. you get the the experience of a life time playing abroad, representing the U.S.A & KU. what more could a young man ask for, again I believe its a win win for us, the exposure the team will get, the practice time and being able to form that bond as a team and grow together So play hard, play safe, and enjoy my KU JAYHAWKS. I/WE will be here pullin for you day/night when ever it may be GOOD LUCK. ROCK, CHALK, ALL DAY LONG BABY

oh I know how the forum works and UH - - - - - -THANKS- - YA THATS IT LMAO

yes why wouldn't I mean it? you not know the answer either? if so tell me. evidentally no one knows. you really asking if I mean it? REALLY? SERIOUSLY? you making this out like its some kind of moronic question, pretty simple question either you know, or you don't, I don't. looking for the answer

well guys, what I took away from the game tonight. Is, at this very very early particular point is, looks as veterans going to be solid, BUT and again at this very early stage, the glaring problems is OUR BIGS, Hunter, Landen. still or at last not doing it, that's being able to finish. Lost count of how many point blank or 2 or 3 ft shots where they came up with nothing, now I do realize chances are more likely then not we have the answer for that, and that answer is Diallo. I fore see him steeping right into the line up, with Hunter and Landen backing him up. could be wrong, but we shall see. other observation, I feel the Freshman Bragg, & Vick with be contributors as the season progresses, going to go thru some growing pains give them some time with Hudy they be ok. I've got this feeling we are going to take a share of hits in these WUG'S like coach was saying that the CANADIAN coach, said we probably got put in one of the toughest brackets, would be huge if we can make it to the medal rounds, but even IF WE DO take the hit, its not like we are alone, the USA hasn't fared very well at all in these games. we shall see, hoping for the best, only time will tell. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

pretty simple my KU breathen, when THE HELL is the early signing period for basketball? been trying to find out, and no luck, need some help. I was thinking like middle of Oct, or 1st part of novemember like around the 11th of November. can someone help me please. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

dam kicked myself out, lol, but anyways I just don't get it, just don't see it I think he was drafted WAY to high. and then didn't stay around to see about Cliff but how do we feel about Kelly? drafted by Atlanta and instantly traded to Washington. you all like his shoes? lmao the boys seem to think he can help Washington, Paul may or may not be there anyways my thoughts I'm no expert just my thoughts. What you think?

Random NBA draft observations guys. 1 look out for Minnesota, I believe they are coming, and they are coming quickly, with our own Andrew Wiggins and now Towns? I feel they have got a very strong nucleus. 2 with the 76er's drafting Okafor, what does the future hold for our boy Jo, Jo? possible trade? with not knowing for sure IF he is going to be able to play this coming year with his setback? plus they have the other big that didn't get to play because of his injury what was his name again? 3rd. am I just a complete idiot or does anyone else feel Myles Turner got drafted way to high? I

Welp guys 1 down, and 1 to go. Got to say pretty interesting game, didn't get to be there in person, but caught myself getting caught up in the game. I think there is nothing but positives that can come from these exhibitions & WUG'S. as for tonight, got to say, a team is going to have ALOT of opportunity to score the ball. the 24 second shot clock is awesome, I love it, really helps speed the game, could see the scoring really go up. I realize we are going to have the 30 but I like it. I'm ok with the 4 -10 minute quarters, and starting fresh in each quarter for the fouls. these exhibitions are going to help for the WUG giving the players a feel for the rules and play before we head out to Korea. Frank was really good, Wayne was pretty good, Perry was Perry and I think Moore will help us, again I see nothing but positives out of this situation, unlimited practices, conditioning, and experience for the freshman. just my thoughts enjoyed tonight & looking forward to Friday. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

well just a tiny bit of information. just checked on 247 sports, and their latest crystal predictions. as of today 6-23, they are trending Terrance Ferguson which is they have him the nu 9 player in the class, they are trending KU 75%, SMU 12 %, Louisville 6%, & Okla St 6% and Alabama has now dropped off completely. then as of yesterday 6-22 they are trending Marquis Bolden KU 85%, and Baylor 15 %. they show schools of KU, Baylor, Conn, North Carol, Duke, SMU, Tex, Houston, Ill, Louis, and Kent, but the 4 that shows the best is: KU, Baylor, Conn, & North Carol. then as of 6-22 they are trending Josh Jackson, who they have as the nu 2 player in the class of 2016, they are trending KU 67 % and Ariz at 33% & they list KU, Ariz, & Louisville as it puts it as the 3 that ar the ones who's really involved or as they say warm, warmer. other schools they show as cool 1 which is Duke , but several others have shown interested but are not in the hunt at this point, some of those schools are Michigan, Michigan St, Oregon, Unlv, UCLA, Maryland, Texas A&M, Fla State, but again the only ones that are really in the chase that it shows at this point is KU , Ariz, & Louisville. and Duke right now is pretty much non factor, oh and ya They have Bolden as the nu 22 player in the class of 2016, so we shall see. 1 thing for sure and it has been this way since I've been checking Terrance is always been a huge KU lean and it just keeps getting larger lean every update I see but who knows. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 Thon was quoted as saying today from zagsblog.com he is staying in High School and then play look hard next year for a year. going to stay in High School for the upcoming season and then go about business in 2016, he he will play with his brother

@KUSTEVE a Game? a Game? so your settling? if Perry had been full speed, if Jo, Jo, would of been full speed I guaurantee it would of been more then a game. we have had a rash of injuries, no one has said that it didn't come at a good time. IS there such a thing as a good time for an injury? don't think so, no time is a good time for injuries, slows progress, development of the player. so consequentially to your believe ya, we have been cursed at very inopportune times with injuries. can you name another college where they have had a rash or sting of injuries such as these? NO. hope your not justifying making the NCAA'S trying to back not being cursed. its pretty hard NOT TO make the NCAA'S. I'm never thanking GOD for BG"s or Devonte injuries at any time rather its in the beginning, the middle or the end, if our teams wouldn't have encountered these untimely injuries you going to tell me we wouldn't of beat standard with Jo, Jo?

Holy crap. this is really crazy, sure seems like we are cursed with injuries over the past couple f years. we have had Jo,Jo right at the end of his season and thru the NCAA'S, Perry playing hurt at the end of last yr and in the NCAA'S, we have had Greene, now with his surgery during the off season, and now Devonte with his partial Quad, whz up? Bad signs, lets hope we get this little bogga -bug done with there is a pattern starting to develop and it isn't good. so is it just bad conditioning on the players part? or is it just freak accidents? or is it a combination of both? what ever it is sure hope the brakes get put on, Landon was banged up with back issues last year NOT GOOD. I'm probably wrong who knows, but I don't remember of any other colleges with as much injury, whether they are just not disclosing information to the public, or its not happening. at any rate ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans True, these are teams that have offered, BUT only little bit according to Jackson at this point anyways KU and Ariz are really the only 2 that he is having really strong interest he said in article that Duke just a little still think these are the 2 its going to come down to.

The thing is on Josh Jackson is he stated once again that he has no desire to play ball over sea's and that there is nothing holding him back in deciding when to commit I feel like he very possibly will commit in the EARLY period. I too feel like Fox will end up committing to Texas, 247 shows Texas with a pretty sizeable lead 69% to KU 23% and with the visits to Texas he has made, just feel Smart is sitting pretty well right now. Feel we have pretty solid chances at Ferguson & Jackson. If we can get Bolden would be a sweet class its just a wait and see but feel pretty good on those 2.

I think the 1 thing that might hurt us with him is that Miller is coaching the 19 Team which gives him an advantage, cuase he sees how Miller operates and is as a coach. We have been a heavy with him from a ,long ways back. Again he says he loves Coach Self and how we get out in the transition. I think really its going to take a huge push by Miller to lure him away from here, agree, its still some time for the early signing but tis is 1 kid I feel good chance he will sign in the early period. I think if he is as interested as what he acts , if we can get him for his official visit say for late night will be very good for us. taking into account ya, he has taken a visit to Arizona, and Miller is the coach for the 19 team is ya good for Miller but like the report says & they (247) updates on kids fairly often to see where the kids are at in the recruiting and then rate pct and still at this point we are still the only 2 that even has any pct with us at 75% and Arizona 25%. Not saying that won't change at some point but that's a pretty sizeable difference, but 17-18 yr old kids can change their minds as fast as you can change your underwear but just saying, I feel unless we just turn around and for some reason so NO interest then I feel pretty good. we shall see. having said that, does anyone know for sure when is the early signing period again? wasn't it towards the last of Nov or like Nov 11th probably way off, but does anyone know when that is again?

well hey this posted on Zagsblog at like 1:11 central time. now I'm sure a lot of you have probably already read but, anyways Josh said that KU & Arizona were recruiting him the hardest, now I've heard we have been in the lead by quite a bit before. 247 sports has us at 75% and Arizona the other 25% , anyways he stated in this article on KU : KU has a great program, they have great programs year in, year out. loves BILL SELF, great coach, likes how we play, likes how athletic we are, and loves how we run in transition, and says feels that's the best part of his game. Fran Fraschilla states special player, great motor, major athleticism. says Jackson has been a demon on defense, at the U.S.A.trials. now I realize that is a quote unquote HI-LIGHT tape I get that, BUT this kid can flat out ball. great hops, pretty nice ball handling ability, pretty good moves, sweet shot, and pretty good passing ability. really nice hops, got some shot blocking ability. but as a 6ft 8 guard looks nice. we that's just me, but feel we are in pretty decent shape with him. he reiterated, he has NO intentions of playing oversea's and says not waiting to decide not waiting on anything to decide, which makes me think he is ONE who will not drag his out. we shall see. KU, ARIZ main p;ayers has offers from Louisvile, Fla State, Michigan, North Carolina, and a little bit of interest from Duke rated nu 2 in the land by 247, have seen nu 1 off other sites. we shall see.

you know I don't know about any others of you, but man I've noticed what seems to be quite a fast developing trend. I mean over the past years its been there but, it seems like this year seems to me anyways this has spread like wildfire. That is college players pulling out of their programs and transferring out to another school. I Saw yesterday, another player that's transferring from Penn State, whats going on? Are these kids rushing into a initial decision when they commit or what? Just seems that they are really are not thinking their decisions through very well if they turn around and transfer so quickly. Is it me? maybe a couple of these players that are taking longer to decide maybe aren't so bad after all. I would lots rather see a kid take his time, commit late, real late if that's what's needed to make the RIGHT decision or not, even if that decision is not to come to the best College in the land of College Basketball LOL, then to make a quick ill advised one and regret that decision later and end up transferring out, because he rushed that decision. I doubt i'll get my feed back on this, but I was just curious, and wanted to express my opinion, is it just me? Am I that far off base? or maybe not, what you think?. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

guys, man I was watching ESPN the other night, and saw scrolling across the bottom of the screen you know the blips? they was talking NORTH CAROLINA. again not claiming to be the brightest light in the house BUT, it looks like to me Roy and the NORTH CAROLINA is in some SERIOUS doo-doo. now I could be wrong but they were showing the allegations that the NCAA had delivered against N. C. and there was 1 in there that covered of like a 9 year period and wong doings, and then I MIGHT be wrong but thought it also said somewhere along the line where N.C. had not cooperated with the NCAA if that's the case with all the things alleged they could be in some serious trouble, anybody know a little more for sure? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 agree 100%. there is no way the leader of the team, your leading scorer would give up his scholi, and WHY SHOUD HE? lets face it we are done and I'm fine with that, we have had a very solid recruiting class, 3 incoming recruits really solid, plus the transfer, its just time to focus on next year, I too believe probably Paschal will end up at Mich St or Virginia. yes true would of been nice but its not the end of the world, we will be fine, my question why we so anxious to boot a Jayhawk that's already here kick him out. SERIOUSLY? plenty big men out of nexts year class of 2016 available, concentrate on them. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

guess we don't have to worry now, since he announced. but good question on Chukwu, someone stated. walkon would give up scholi, ummmmmmmmmmmmm am I that blind? don't really think a walk on can give up a scholarship can they? that's why they are walk on- - - -they don't have a scholarship t give up, I now think we ARE DONE. don't really see Paschal coming now for sure.

@Texas-Hawk-10 why is Vick dragging his feet? like I stated earlier, first it was surpose to be the middle to the end of the week last week, THEN it was going to be yesterday, Now your saying sometime today. he has to know by now if he is re-classifying or not, so why is he holding back? some people justified the signing of coleby because they said chukwu was dragging his feet and hadn't committed to Ku. bottom line is Coleby visited and committed before Paschal was even scheduled to visit, you can't be down on a kid and not saying you, but you can't truly expect a kid to commit to a school before he steps foot on campus. the ONLY thing that I could possibly think of the reason for offering coleby was maybe coach self had a feeling our chances of landing paschal were not good. that was my thought before, but since have found out with Paschal still going to make the visit makes me believe there is something else. HAS TO BE., and like others have said makes me believe Vick is staying in the class of 2016, he might be thinking stay put and see how much higher he gets rated, develop more and could de-commit to us period. has signed nothing binding. I fully believe coach self has talked to Paschal and re-assured him you wanna come, there is a spot here not to worry. again if not then WHY? he knows what he wants. classify or not.

I think, if indeed coach Self HAS possibly told Vick to hold off on his decision, which maybe he has since we've heard nothing, maybe he wants him to hold off until after Paschal has made his visit. I feel if Paschal wants to come like has been stated, then we should offer and keep Vick where e is now, take the chance on him re-considering his choice next year, stay in 2016. we will have a much bigger need for interior players next year with the departures of Perry, Jamari, Hunter, and more then likely Cheick, then we will at the shooting guard, so if we have the chance for Paschal I say take him and let Vick stay at 2016

kinda curious, about Vick. the word was originally he was going to announce about re-classifying the middle to the end of last week as if he was re-classifying to 2015 or going to stay put until 2016. Then we heard he was going to announce yesterday, and we got nothing. Have heard say maybe Coach Self has to him to stay put until we find out about Paschal, even the we got the commit from the Mississippi transfer wanting to possibly keep a place open for Paschal if he still wanted to come to KU. Soo, has anyone heard anything else heard anything about the situation?

exactly, we do not need another 6ft 9 player unless he is a stud. this kid IS NOT a stud like you say think its just a body. very very meager stats at Ole Miss like 5.4 scoring and 4.b rebounding and 29 blocks. the question would be WHY? why even have him on campus for a visit? seems like it would be a wasted scholarship. I think w would much rather take Paschal or even the Williams kid at least he had better numbers, better rim protector

saw update on Paschal. Now has visits to KU, Neb, Virginia, & Mich St. my only problem is, I read where he was surposed to be on Campus at KU the 1st week of June, now I read where it says he is visiting Nebraska Jun 1st and 2nd. hope we can land him, would be nice get.

just read article that was posted like half hour ago ( 9:15 ) p.m. Sunday night, stating LeGerald will decide this week if he is going to re-classify or stay in the class of 2016, said decision could come mid to late week or him to announce. Sure everyone thinks, its a done deal he will re-classify to 2015, and probably will but just relaying info that was just posted, had a really good weekend so it says pretty sure but still will feel more at ease when he comes out and says its 2015. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

definitely couldn't agree more, there is nothing but huge benefits for him to come here

1.Chukwu 2. no mushrooms, or toad stools, 3 the twilight series and 4. yes a title in the next 5 years.

well read this morning that Paschal has 2 visits scheduled so far. KU the 1st weekend in June and Nebraska. yes I fully realize that is only one other school at this point, and there will be more, but if this is the kind of competitors we will face for him, which I'm sure there will end up being a few other big boys calling him possibly, but I would have to like our chances. all he needs to do is look at how big men have developed at Ku, we have one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in the game, he just needs to look at Jo, Jo, and Jeff and others, look at the new living conditions, look at our campus, and then THE FANS oh yes THE FANS. if not the top then right at the top for love of our players, and I've been in Allen multiple occasions and the place is a zoo you WILL NOT beat this atmosphere in college basketball period. plus the fact obviously yes he sits next year but after that year practing against Perry, Jamari, Hunter, Landon and with Cheick can't do anything but obviously help the guy, and then the following year the spot is his no doubt , then you add the chance but yet not sure if he is another that could practice before the WUG but have to lke our chances. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

JayBate, he came up a week or so ago. the article about him visiting on weekend was in Jayhawk slant. today, I've been following it see where its at with him

well just saw where Kobie announced his intentions of weekend visit. sooooooooooooooooo, question is, which one commits to KU? Kobie Eubanks, or LeGerald Vick? LeGerald still has to qualify acedamically to reclassify, personally I believe I would rather see Kobie, but feel either way will fill in quite nicely with Wayne, just a gut feeling, bu a strong gut feeling one of the 2 is coming to KU

read just today, although had seen earlier that we are still very active on LeGerald Vick a 6ft 5 shooting guard, was stated probably the most polished shooting guard in the class of 2015, was stated very explosive, get to the rim, with ability to shoot well from the primentor, slasher, and a good mud range jumper. was noted that he is down to Kentucky and Kansas with Kansas State a dark horse, good chance he might visit KU this weekend. Then I saw today that we was in on Kobee, Eubanks, where there is a good chance of visit also this weekend out of fort Lauderdale Fla, former Baylor commit, says he will take visits to KU, Alabama, and West Virginia, then we are still on the Mack kid the former VCU commit, but he is visiting TEXAS this weekend, wouldn't be surprised if he committed to Smart- - - -AGAIN. have a feeling we will end up with one of these three to go along with Seldon, good quality 3 or 4 year players.

well certainly hold your breath for Brown. just finished reading an article off 247 sports, and he was giving BIG praise to Michigan & Kentucky. he talks about how he has so much family in Michigan, how his Uncle went to Michigan and his Mom, talked about how Berlein developed players you get what I'm sayin. he talked about maybe staying 2 years in college, talking about for what he wants to get accomplished its going to take 2 yrs at least. he said he knows there is people sayin he is ready but doesn't know yet,Then on top of that was really high on Kentucky to you can read the article on 247 sports.

dam my post got all screwed up loo, but I too also agree I think our chances got ALOT better with the commitment from Diallo. come on down Jaylen Brown, and yes its been stated we are Very much involved a serious contender on mack. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

some of the recruiting experts or basketball should I say said that some of these programs going to be down this year, unlike last year, teams like Kentucky, Ariz, Duke, Wisc makes good for KU. you put our experience Ellis, Seldon, Mason, Graham, and such along with our two new maybe more should be interesting

WHOOP WHOOP WHOOOP HUGE GET, man this makes me so happy. gonna go do my happy dance lmao

shouldn't make any difference whether Ingram was to sign or not. 2 totally different positions, Diallo is a 5, Ingram is not

ya it was just on zags blog to either Tuesday or Wednsday

I sure hope people aren't wetting themselves cause Brandon was wearing a Kansas shirt to school Friday. that means nothing, a lot of these recruits do such tatics as this to try to throw people off and keep it some big secret, just another way of getting discussion, speculation. its DONE he is going to Duke. losing him is not near as meaningful as if we lose out on Diallo. Brandon is a hell of a player, don't get me wrong would love it IF he did come, but just don't see it, just to hard to pull him out of in state when all 3 major schools there are after him, and close to home. its not lie the situation we are in at the 5 spot we have Svi, and I think a lot of people will be surprised on Svi's play nex year think you'll see a lot of difference, plus Brennan will be back, and I think he will be fine by season's time, just don't get worked up about Ingram, sorry just not happening its all DUKE. if I'm wrong then more then happy to admit I was wrong, but have felt like its Duke for along time now, time to move forward ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

man, I have to say, I think I've never seen so many good responses to a post as to this one. a lot of good points, and too say we need to lock him down, like has been pointed out thing is we can't REALLY get a lot done until November at the earliest. great posts, great replies, that's why I love this board. we get him we still need more bigs a has been pointed out we will be losing a lot, Ellis,Mickelson, and if we happen to get Diallo, will be losing him also, good to see Coach is visiting and what he has been here twice already and a life long Ku fan? Now like I have said w have GOT TO CLOSE the deal. I will say that I like the high profile guys, but like has been said seems like they are dragging things out, love the attention. example? 2016 already, Malik Monk has come out and said he wants to really wait late and then make his announcement a huge thing on TV not quite sure how that sits with me. seems like its all about me me me look at me, nothing about team. anyways lets get this guy GO HAWKS
