I believe the KU basketball website ↗ is the more credible source and it says the 28th...

Well ya I made a mistake partially - was partially wrong - -but you too was partially wrong. - I made a mistake by saying it started on the 22nd - - you said the 28th.

I was talking about the 1st practice - -the 1st practice is what starts the official beginning of basketball , that's where it all starts the 1st practice. - that's where I was wrong - the 1st official practice starts on the 25th of September I made the mistake there and said it was the 22nd - -" LATE NIGHT " which is what you were referring to was which yes is on the 28th - -but that's not the official start to the season. - - the 25th is the official start. - - - we were both wrong. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Lagerald Vick: The Pool Is Closed • Jun 21, 2018 03:33 AM

Man it seems a lot of people have soured on Vick , after he said he was moving on --- didn't see them as sour when he was playing. - -The kid has a right to change his mind - this is one of the reasons they give choices of hiring an agent or not, so they have an option.

Again to me either way is ok. - - Yet if he comes back , I'll welcome him back with open arms instead of the Why the hell did Coach take him back. - We can use experience - -any experience - -- played a lot of games - experienced from the final four and two other years of NCAA tournament experience - -sure not saying he is a savior but dam - he can't hurt that much.

On the other hand - if he wants to go G league then no sour grapes from me - -hope nothing but the best for him and his kid or kids - either way is fine.- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

if and it is a big IF he comes back he will be on a very short leash or probationary status.

personally I don't care one way or another. - like you say IF then cool he might be able to help some - with some 3 pt shooting , BUT does he become a cancer to the rest of the team - -continuity? - --- - the only reason I even possibly sniff is just the wording of Self saying that he is STILL going to sit down with him and discuss options I just don't know - but yet my little well not little Jayhawk belly says - - - DON'T BE SURPRISED. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Dotson looks like the fastest guard Self has ever had at KU w/ the ball.

I think so , he is quick - - -really quick

FIBU U18 Self/Manning/Grimes • Jun 18, 2018 07:24 PM

@KUSTEVE Oh I agree. - -We may actually take a lump or two early. again I say MAYBE. - -not only because of the front court but as a overall of the team - -still some youth - gonna take an transition period from high school AAU ball to P-5 ball. Some of those moves you got away with in High School isn't gonna work here always an adjustment t a certain degree.

One of the reasons I was on Dotson's bandwagon so early last year was I love his speed the kid is a blurr at times and loves to go to the hole and contact if need be. - I know this might sound silly, but to me is just another freshman version of Frank - a bull dog type - needs to work on hias out side J but still. - just plain and simple I love what we got.

Then I think our secret weapon people might not be giving enough attention to - - not here I'm not saying that but outsiders? - is are you ready? - Who I think is going to jump up and bite some people in the ass? - - - McCormack that who. - -The kid is big and physical - sweet body classic 5 man loves to play the 5 loves being down low - -rugged - -watch - - mark my words I tell ya what - -by the middle , end of the season. I bet people know who David McCormack is by then. - Can you imagine him and Silvio the specimen Silvio is - -them two together - - HOLY BAT SHIT- - BATMAN - -look the hell out. - -good to see you back bud - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HighEliteMajor At this point we are at a he said - - they said. - Silvio guarding STILL saying he or Silvio. - -So until the whole process has been brought forward and this has been settled - -all we can go from is the he said they said - - accusations.

Until that time we go through the legal theory innocent until PROVEN guilty. - at this point we just don't know , we very easily might not know for years for this to play out. I don't know that Silvio or his guardian is innocent OR guilty - -no one knows - - we or Silvio guardian has the right to due process. We shall see. - -I'm sure hoping for the best but not holding my breath -- -but until we get closure - -he is innocent

@jayballer73 Got a real chance at Hurt.

I would recommend getting familiar with Julian Strawther (2020).

ya? - -pretty good player huh? - - think we got a legit shot?

Top 10 in his class, great talent. Called KU his dream school after the offer and he already has an Arizona offer and Duke/UK sniffing around. If KU presses hard and makes him a top priority chances seem good.

Dam that would sure be nice -- -I thought I had heard that he pretty much had Duke written all over him though

Wouldn't that be sweet - -not sure how you feel probably good but just since I've seen him in these games I've come away even more impressed. Rebounds pretty decently - -had 3 blocks last night - - may not wow you - -not flashy - - just solid, really solid - and man he can drain the 3, shown that throughout these games. It can't do anything I don't think but help getting to play some time under Coach Self right now - -see how Coach handles game situations.

Coach has been playing Robinson-Earle and Hurt AND Grimes together at different times during these games and I think it's so he can see how they handle playing on the floor together and them be able to play with one another - -Now Coach would NEVER say he had done this intentionally , but don't kid yourself. - You don't win that many games gain that stature - -get voted into the Coach's hall of fame by being stupid lol. - He knows exactly what he is doing.

Again I say it can only help in the recruiting with him for Earle AND Hurt both being able to spend time and get to know one another better keeping fingers crossed

Youtube will broadcast the USA v. Canada game at 7:15 Central Saturday. Even without Massey, I look for team USA to breeze by Canada. The officiating should be more even since the Central/South American bias will be absent. I really like that Coach Self plays Grimes, Hurt and Earl together. These three already play like teammates; they look to pass to each other to help each other score. I hope both Hurt and Earl commit to KU. It's been fun watching them at such a young age.

I read where Maxey is expected to play for the US tonight. I agree with you but maybe not easily - bottom line is Canada has 3-4 pretty good players - BUT US is just so balanced with pretty good players I think the overall talent of 12 will be more then they can handle

2019 Recruiting • Jun 16, 2018 04:39 PM

Ya I was getting all excited as I was reading about some new names from 2020 thinking ok let's see what we got here. Jaden Springer said we had reached out to him - - -jacmyen Brakefield said we had reached out to him - - - -Brandon Boston said we had reached out to him - -& Jabri Abdur- Rahim -said we had reached out to him - - So I thought cool , so went and looked where their ranking was on 247 - - Brakefield - -is 15th - - -- Boston is 19th - - Rahim is 20th - - & Springer is 21st - -thing is we are nowhere really with any of them as a matter of fact none of these guys have us listed in their top 5 schools.

Springer is 100 % NC - - - -Brakefield is 100% Kentucky - - - Boston is 100 % Duke - - -& Rahim is 100 % Georgia. I realize the reason being is that right now their only predict might be one or two analysts making predicts so can't put ALOT of stock in it as it's way - - way early for 2020 but kind of burst my bubble a bit lol

On another note saw where we got a CB for Hurt from Dale Erin he made his CB at midnight this morning we are now sitting at 58% compared to others 17% - man I want him - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FIBU U18 Self/Manning/Grimes • Jun 16, 2018 02:22 AM

It sure can't hurt for hurt - ahhhhh lol - -I just kill myself sometimes lol - -see what I done? = =Hurt - - - -Hurt - -OH I'm to much lol. - -but anyways it certainly doesn't hurt the Matthew and Robinson Earle get a chance to play under him and get a 1st hand look at how the Coaches in certain game situations -sure would be sweet to be able to pull those two in

Plus it would just be off the charts if somehow - some wat Anthony ended up here, - but I also am not really considering that

FIBU U18 Self/Manning/Grimes • Jun 16, 2018 12:52 AM

Earle actually came up with key buckets in the 4th quarter - I think all 10 of his points were in the 4th. - -Grimes really solid game - led in Scoring - -led in rebounding, - -Hurt 15 points 3 blocks.

Anthony gets mauled and they call it an offensive foul lmao. Earle had some trouble playing D on their 7 footer but giving up like 4 inches did ok

Leave it to someone from the UK board. You really need to sit down for this one although he did say , that possibly some paranoid conspiracy-minded type might suspect Coach Self is running up these crazy ass victory margin to make Cal's failure last summer look even worse. - - -OMFG seriously? roflmao.

Ya that's exactly what coach Self is doing, that's his only train of thought for these games. - -Let me see if I can make Coach Cal look even worse for last summer lmao.

What Else can Coach do? - -he is subbing in and out like hockey lines [ - -five at a time - -like playing 5 minute segments. - -he is playing all kinds of different combinations. Like the announcers say you can't expect the USA kids to quit playing - -quit trying. -- - the real question isn't that he is trying to run up the score - it's what else can he do? Also like the announcers say - it's not we have to have one kid put up 35-40 points. Against Puerto Rico our leading scorer had 20 ( Quentin ) - -Tonight our leading scorer had 20 - it's just balanced scoring - no show boating - no glares - just team Basketball.

So which is it - - do we play at 4 - -or do we play at 5 today?

Silvio • Jun 14, 2018 08:38 PM

Ok my friends , I know we have talked to some degree at Various times about Silvio just wanted to touch base, Bottom line do you think Silvio plays for us this year?

I just listened to the podcast and it just seems more and more like the possibility of him playing/ being eligible is seeming more likely. They have interview Coach Self the assistants and of Course his Guardian & then Silvio himself and they all say or seem to insinuate that they are going forward as if he will be eligible without retribution .

The hosts on the podcasts actually brought up some good points. They said that KU more likely then not knows that this is not going to be settled before the Season starts , saying it could be 1 yr - -2 yrs - - hell it could be even 3 yrs before this is settled , they said there are Sooooo many schools that are names or mentioned in this.

Their point being was this will the NCAA go back and make retro-active penalities/sanctions after this period of time? - -probably not - - like they said with as many schools that have been mentioned in some form or another the likely scenario that plays out will be - -listen we just do not have the time or means or man power to go through all these schools, like they said probably more likely will end up being OK now these are the rules a slap on the hand and move on from there- -they just don't have the time to look at all the schools involved and decide the penalities if any need applied.

Other interesting takes from the podcast. Saying they think people are really under estimating Charlie Moore , they feel he will be the starter pointed out his bull dog attitude willing to take on all challengers talking about how at the scrimmage he missed his first four shots then promptly went 10-11 and draining all those 3's

Another interesting thing brought out - -that this will be the 1st year in 12 years that KU will start a pg that has never played a single minute for KU

Something else on Silvio was talking about how we might very easily see him at some point see him starting - -possibly as motivation for Doke to improve his rebounding. Said Silvio is a better rebounder and they really want Doke to improve saying that for really as KU'S only big last year he should of had better rebounding numbers. - -Sayin that Silvio is a better all around player - - -more polished player , they brought up two games for Silvio on how hew stood out - in the Big 12 tourney against Oklahoma St and then the Duke game going against two NBA future players and how well he had done, so saying they might say to Doke like they have in the past put some fire in his gut ok you Sit - -Silvio your up - - pretty interesting. - They talked about how built Silviio is -already has a NBA body - -solid - - really solid of course we already knew that. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FIBU U18 Self/Manning/Grimes • Jun 13, 2018 02:55 PM

@BeddieKU23 They both play the same position? - are you absolute sure on that? - you could very easily be right it's just from what I've seen in these games is that Earle has been playing exclusive in the middle - - -at the 5 - while Hurt has been out on the floor. - At least the times when they have been on the floor together which has been quite a bit actually - -actually even when Hurt hasn't been in I've seen Earle playing the 5 but could quite possibly be wrong.
I bet Coach Self could make it work , That could be why I've been seeing what I've seen. Coach maybe showing them how they could play together at the same time. - -I don't know - All I know is I would love to have them both lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FIBU U18 Self/Manning/Grimes • Jun 13, 2018 01:51 PM

@BeddieKU23 I agree with you on Hurt. - -A friend and I were talking last night and I said to him cause he also talked about him not being the most athletic - -which is quite possibly true. However like I told him he is not a guy that is going to wow you , yet having said that he is just very solid pretty consistent. - -I like his outside J - has shown in these games that he can hit the three, rebounds the ball pretty well, seems to have pretty decent handle seen him leading the fast break a couple of times dribbling the ball down the floor even though that's not what we need from a big man lol.

Totally agree with Earle. - -We just flat plain and simple can not afford to let a recruit of this type t get away from us right in our own back yard. I really - - really like him seems like he really likes hitting the glass - -he to me is a type of dirty work player scrapping for everything and gets quite a bit. I WANT HIM - - hope we land both. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FIBU U18 Self/Manning/Grimes • Jun 13, 2018 12:24 AM

Well just some random thoughts after watching our USA team pretty much man handle Puerto Rico tonight 115-71.

!st : thing is , I like Matthew Hurt before these games , now after watching these first three games? - - Man I want this kid , would be really sweet to land him , 12 points again tonight , ya not staggering but when you think we don't need a single dominant player in these games. Such balance on this USA team. Hurt has a nice 3 pt shot , can block some shots - -rebounds. I'm just really impressed more now then I was before. - - I had been hearing we are in the lead for him - - - Then I read of the UK Board that said one insider said that KU was in the lead but they thought UK was going to be KU's biggest challenge. Right now hurt says that Duke - - -Kentucky - - UCLA - --N Carolina - - KU - - Memphis - - Indiana - - Louisville- - - & Minnesota were the one's recruiting him the hardest. - - - Wants to be able to cut list down to 8-10 by the end of the summer. - -Hoping to be able to make a decision by November, gonna take his 5 official visits. - -Then while I was watching the game from a person that was in a group discussion they said they has heard that Indiana was in the lead for him - -I call BS on that one.

2nd: - - Robinson Earle has been looking pretty good. - - like 13 points and 10 rebounds today. Again with him being in state I feel we got to land this kid , pretty solid had a couple of monster flushes tonight , really goes to the boards - kind of that dirty work player , hustles like his looks. - -Here again have heard that we were pretty solid with him and then yet I heard even think it was here possibly that N Carolina had made a really big push for him and now was in a pretty solid position for him. - -I think we need to land this kid in our own back yard.

3rd: - -Quentin Grimes - -has look pretty good driving the ball pretty steady on the defensive end BUT the thing is this youngin has got some work to do shooting the ball from distance. - -I've watched all 3 games and he needs lots of repetition shooting from the outside. We really need him to be able to hit the J on a fairly consistant basis. - -Hasn't looked real good. - - Not bad , but could for sure improve - -needs to take these summer months and work on that part of his game - -we gonna need that from him - -help keep the defense from other teams honest.

Bottom line is guys -- man I sure hope we land these two - - Hurt - -Earle - I know their pretty high priority these are the types we really need to land - -can't lose out on. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FIBU U18 Self/Manning/Grimes • Jun 12, 2018 01:49 AM

Not really much you can say about a game like this to night, it was actually pretty sad , mercy those poor kids. - -Even Robinson Earle 13 rebounds not sure how much stock you can put into that - yet still pretty balanced scoring- - lot of lay ups - - -lot of Dunks , Hurt didn't look to bad tonight again hit some three's - -missed some too but has shown for sure that he can hit the 3. - -Puerto Rico tomorrow just not sure of time

Really sad ya , ya , ya, I know save it I already know there are some here asking the million dollar question - or making their comments " YES " I trolled the Kentucky boards today - -WHY? - because I can - -that's why - - anyways just like I thought and verified - they all crying about Self and saying such things as OH love how Self has his recruits on the team - - Hurt - - Earle - & the Grimes , then they follow up by saying wish Coach Cal could do things like that , but were talking Self. - -it's borderline historical. - what people don't understand is that Coach Self was only 1/12th of choosing the team there was a 12 man board - - NOT just Coach Self

Him and Anthony are the best players in this game and it's not close.

ya one your thinking about is my buddy that was the one sayin he wasn't really impressed

I understand Garret has been working hard on his outside shooting and I would not be surprised to see him shoot on the mid to upper 30s which would be a nice bonus.

was listening to the podcast off the shiver and I think they said that his AAu guy or not for sure who put was having Garrett shooting 1000 jumpers a day and talking about how much repetition that would make for from now till the start of practices ought to make improvement
