Ya she shattered the old 30 yr record she had a time of 32:09.2 - -the old record was 32:28.57 - -not even close.

I'm somewhat surprised no one mentioned KJ Lawson as a potential starter. He's a guy that everyone is kind of taking for granted right now.

Well after they made their picks on the starters , they did mention KJ as being a maybe - -I was kind of surprised myself , another guy that loves going to the boards , I think he averaged like 8 rebounds himself. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

No mystery here - - - Vick is not coming back to KU. - -His mom even said it was time for someone else to have their turn at KU , Don't know exactly what happened - -some say forced - - maybe , who knows - - there were times he just looked disinterested - -not motoviated - -so quite easily to see why his starting role left for awhile - there were games he just seem no where to be found.

Some have said he just wasn't interested in going to class anymore ready to start another chapter in his life . some of the beat writers connected to the KU sports programs said as much we don't know.- -One thing that IS pretty well known - -Vick is not coming back to KU. - Time to move on , nothing to see here

OFFICIAL: UDUNKA BACK FOR YEAR 3 (ish) • May 31, 2018 07:52 PM

while listening to the pod cast this morning with - - Benton Smith - - -Mat Tait - -And Tom Keegan they were talking about what Doke meant to KU by coming back.

They all said made KU for sure a legit title contender , talked about how every big man in the Big 12 dreamt the night before thinking I'm going to have to guard this guy lol.

Anyways during the podcast they all took a shot on who they thought possibly would be the starting 5. - -This was going on the assumption the Sivvio would be back and eligible.

Went like this not sure which ones but anyhow here is the starting line ups with 3 predictions : - - -Dotson , pg - - -- -Grimes ( 2 ) - - -Dedric Lawson ( 3 ) - - -Silvio ( 4 ) - - -& Doke ( 5 )

Next :- - - Dotson , pg- - - - Grimes ( 3 } - - -Dedric Lawson ( 4 )- - -Doke ( 5 ) - - & Moore ( 2 )

Next was :- - - - Dotson pg , - - Grimes ( 2 )- - - -Dedric Lawson ( 3 )- - -Doke ( 5 )- - -& Garrett ( 3 )

@BShark ya, kinda what I thought also

Draft Declarations Thread • May 31, 2018 07:36 PM

@justanotherfan I wondered too. - -I just read another article just a couple of minutes ago and a Veteran NBA assistant from the Eastern division said the biggest things Doke needed to work on wasn.t on the offensive end BUT the defensive end. He said with all the pick and rolls and switching off a big needed to be able to learn how to defend the smaller guy - - he gave an example of some big ending up guarding Steph Curry in the playoffs making him pass the ball off I just can't remember the big's name.

He was also talking about in the NBA how bigs need to be able to dribble - -pass and then shoot also - -the writer said the sooner people come to realize the reason Doke came back wasn't because of the offensive end - or lack of a jumper - the sooner people realizer that the better off they will be - -it's mostly on the defensive end.

Their were obviously things they would like to see improve like most obvious - -his free throw shooting - -but then also like becoming more like 10 rebound per game player - possibly improving protecting the rim going like from 60 blocks to 100 blocks -- the assistant said that there is a place for a person like Doke just had these things to work on - - interesting

@BeddieKU23 Sorry here , I understand your conversation is about Hall don't mean to intrude but your right but I also wonder now how serious we are recruiting Harvey any more? - I just kind of get a feel that we may have back off of him a bit. - Seems like he has slide a little in the rankings AND with his little ordeal that came to light not sure if coach Self really wants any questionable types if even in the slightest cases at this juncture. - Seems like the last 2-3 years we have had our share of limelight in the wrong way. - -Just kind of curious exactly how strongly we are really recruiting him at this point? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay body fat % 13.85

On the other hand I heard on the pod cast today about Doke - he was at 7.59 body fat. - They said for somebody his size to be under 8 % body fat was just insane.

They brought up some interesting points today on the pod cast they said for instance : KU is not going to have Doke , they are not going to try to develop a jumper from him during the year, they may work with him in practice but they don't want him trying to shoot jumpers during the game. Kind of makes sense at this point , they know where they want him at KU and that is down low close to the rim. - -They are quite happy with his production last year.- Again he can work on developing his jumper during practice so come that next level

They also said They think the NBA they will not expect him to develop a shot. - - - hmmmm interesting. - they said the NBA realizes OK this is what we are getting they won't expect him for his jumper - they will rely more on the occasional pick and roll - but they are not going to be looking for him to try and shoot jumpers over Jo Jo and guys like that - they aren't depending on him for a lot of offense as again they realize what they are getting in Doke. - Interesting thoughts.

OFFICIAL: UDUNKA BACK FOR YEAR 3 (ish) • May 30, 2018 07:56 PM

This is really good news. - Now if there turns out that some way DeSousa is eligible - - OMG look out it will be ugly for others. I think my focus now turns to who is our starting 3?

I'm kind of think this may shake out - -doesn't matter a lot were loaded in the front but - - -We have Doke as the starting 5 with McCormack backing him up. - - We have Dedric as our starting 4 - with their is some talk about Mitch being able to move out to his more comfortable spot as the back up at the 4. Now if DeSousa is some how cleared eligible then MAYBE? DeSousa backs Dedric at the 4? - -or could Silvio possibly - and I'm saying just possibly play the 3? - - if he is eligible going to be hard to keep him out of the starting lineup somewhere - maybe not from game 1 but I would think pretty soon. - -Thing is Silvio not going push Dedric out at the 4.

Then if Silvio is eligible then the perfect situation for Mitch would be to red shirt - but if they don't red shirt him and Silvio is eligible does Silvio become the back up at the 4 and then Mitch become the 3rd backup at the 5?

Then at the 3 which I think will happen is quite possibly KJ starts at the 3 and then possibly our boy from KC might back him ? - It is going to pose for some interesting decisions for Coach Self but nice decisions to have.

Then in the back Court we are going to have Grimes step right in at the 2 - and either Moore or Devon as our starting 1 I think MAYBE but I wouldn't wanna bet the farm on it but MAYBE Moore starts the 1st of the Season but I fully think it won't be long before Devon takes over - - and then we still have Garrett - - -and if it gets bad - -but yet I've heard he might get more minutes and that would be Cunliffe for some back up time. However it plays out - - WE ARE DEEP - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

another last minute. - - Has to announce tomorrow. - -I just kinda get a read nothing really to support it - -but I just get this feel he is staying in

Draft Declarations Thread • May 27, 2018 03:37 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Do you think he is 1st round NBA talent?

Draft Declarations Thread • May 27, 2018 12:33 PM

Well Doke now has like 3 days to decide whether he stays in or comes back. - - With him taking this long now after the combine to make the announcement I just think it's not looking good for the home team. Hope I'm wrong. Even if he comes back though I would still like to see him work and work hard in developing some kind of shot a liitle aways from the hoop not just the slam to help pull the defense out some from underneath. I think this year we are going to see when he catches down deep I think we are going to see a lot more double down on him to help out so he can't just drive the ball through like he did last year. The reason that I say that is as been mentioned is what we have heard our suspect outside shooting this year if we can't nock down the outside J from somebody or a couple of somebodies then other teams will be able to help om Doke more and force him to kick it back out - unlike last year.

On another note as anyone hear about Shammert from WSU - -de he hire an agent or did he say he was staying in the draft? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 Well Doke now has what 4 days to make a decision? - -He has till the 30th right?

BShark said:

Just doke back and I think it is fine. There will be growing pains though with only one returning guard.

ya gonna be young in the back court - going to be interesting, with WV getting Konate back - -we sure need Doke back

Just read an article talking about KU being # 1 for the upcoming year. You think this is a justified ranking? - -To me it doesn't bother me much either way. - -I'm not sure exactly what all they basing this on - -are they basing this on the possible assumption that Doke comes back? - - are they basing this on the train of Thought De souse will be Eligible? - -or both of these things?

To me I IF these guys don't return , I'm not so sure we are a justified # 1. - I mean true we are going to be good - - -very good - - - very good I mean we still have Dedric which will contend for Big 12 player of the year - We Have McCormack -We have KJ - - We still have Mitch for quality backup then there is Marcus - -- and then what I feel is loaded in the backcourt with depth -- one of those is Grimes whom I feel will be or is an absolute stud. We have Devon which I feel some STILL under estimate - I think this kid is going to prove himself even more to some here - he loves to attack the rim and is really quick - - Then you ad in the other on the roster Charlie -- -and Cunliffe will probably see a little more time - were gonna be deep - just not sure without Doke and or DeSousa if we are a # 1 team in the ln the land at this point.

Actually who cares? at this point it's just bragging rights , actually all through the season is pretty much for fans to thump their chests talk smack , it's the END of the season when we really should want that # 1 ranking obtain that AFTER the National title game other then that ehhhh. - - As I have mentioned before if you were to ask the players - -the Coaches - -what is the number 1 goal for a team and Coaches of a season - -what would make their season complete. - Being ranked # 1 throughout the season OR being THAT National # 1 TEAM after the title game. - You ask any team - any Coach what their goal is? - -Win the Title - -not so much being ranked # 1 during the year - -if they were to say that -some would say ya? - well you go ahead - you take your # 1 ranking through the season - -us? - -we will take the hardware.

But it makes for good conversation - Like I said if we are # 1 it's cool - -if not - -it's fine too - I know this we will for sure be top 5 I'm good with that. anyways these people have given us the # 1 preseason ranking : ESPN.com - -- -CBS Sports- - - USA Today - - -Sporting News - - - Sports Illustrated - - -& NBC Sports - -like I said I wonder what they are basing their thoughts on?

Dok • May 22, 2018 04:28 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Some very good points , not much I can add to that , I too just believe that in Doke's case I think it might be hard at anytime for him in the NBA. - -I just think the NEW NBA - & style of play just doesn't fit him. - -Oh ya I'm sure someone will end up taking that chance and I hope they do.But I just think at best he will be another journeyman and very limited playing time - his foot speed and lack of outside game just makes him a bad fit.

As far as Silvio like I say I think you have brought up some pretty good points - -All I can do is hope. - -If someway we get Doke AND Desousa back and eligible - - - -LOOK OUT - - -game on

@ReggieKansas they might not have a choice with the Pac 12 crumbling like is being reported

@JayHawkFanToo Like I said isn't any akin off my - - - - but the Pac 12 sure sounds like is in some trouble, - -and the Big 12 is far far from solid ground it'self - I can't count how many times people have talked about the Bid 12 dissolving - -and KU going to the Big 10 - - like the title says I'm just passing conversation.

Very true , however IF and I say again IF the big 12 were to expand - we could still add Arizona and Arizona State and have a true round robin - -thing is though you would have to reduce your non con

Doke said in the Star he’d probably be back without a first round guarantee. I like that a lot.

This really couldn't be put anymore plainly for Doke. - - The article from the star also said : An NBA Scout said they also had concerns about Azubuike's conditioning.

" The scout said I just don't know if someone like him is needed anymore, " The Scout said he's in the wrong era. - if that doesn't tell Doke at the minimum he needs to come back to College and try to work even harder to have any kind of shot. - I just don't know if he will ever be in the NBA - -maybe oversea's - -but NBA - just not sure

2019 Recruiting • May 18, 2018 12:57 AM

People still seem to think that we have some strange mystery recruit for this year. - -After Coach Self has come out and said that chances are very good that we hold on to the last scholarship - -I'm not getting it.

As I've said before and will say again I guess and Coach Self just recently said it would have to be a perfect fit at this point. This guy there is no way in hell he would be a perfect fit for this years class - -I have stated multiple times unless he could really be beneficial and not just a body to occupy the last spot - -then WE DO NOT NEED THEM.

Why would we try and have a player at the 5 spot no less where he is even a lesser of a need then a 2 or 3 - with a non ranking by ANY of the services how could that even begin to be beneficial? - - that's just insane - agai n we don't and at this point hoping we don't waste it and this guy beyond a doubt would be a total waste considering it being the last available.

Coach Self again said he has no problem holding onto the scholarship especially seeing as we have no Seniors for next year and we could very easily need for next year - -but yet some feel sold there is this mystery recruit

@drgnslayr I guess if they were to be added the conference teams would have to shorten their non con by two then right - to be able to have the 2 game round robin - I agree with you. --I just don't think the Big 12 can stay like it is , or we for sure are gone in a very short future

Draft Declarations Thread • May 17, 2018 04:13 PM

And yet when asked by the players who they would rather have trust on the floor more steady - they all in /unison said - - LUCAS - -hmmmmmm

Ok. just read this off the shiver. - - - A thread was brought up about the possibility of the big 12 reaching out making contact getting in with Arizona & Arizona State about possibly them joining the Big twelve - establishing ground work before these new TV contracts come up. Then a couple of people mentioned about possibly throwing WV a bone and asking Cincinnati again - -the reply to that part was for the most part was - - -Screw WV - -some others talked about seeing if possibly Colorado might want to consider coming back with Arizona and Arizona St

Now this is or alot of this was even mentioned was that I guess more talk about the Pac twelve and their problems and sounding like more of continuence of them falling apart - -their football programs and theirlack of representation in the football playoffs and such, I guess I think it was if I remember right Pat Forde that wrote an article about the big 12 cuddling up to Arizona & Arizona state because of this and again before the new TV contracts and such and be ahead of others if and when this happens.

Ya I know and they know that the Big 12 decided against expansion a little back - and chances are very good that this will never come to light , BUT like I said it's a slow time for the KU roundballer fans right now and maybe some conversation pro's - - - con's - -they are taking a survey where you can vote on it on the article on shiver right now and presently like 10 minutes ago it was running 81% in favor of adding compared to 11% not in favor 4% not sure 2% - in favor of adding Arizona but not Arizona State & 2 % in favor of adding Arizona St but not Arizona.

For me myself I voted in favor - - mainly a lot because I would like us to return to the natural Big 12 and I really do not want to see the Big 12 dissolve . - but it would kill me if it didn't happen - which again I fully realize this won't but hey might make for some past time conversation - what you think ?

@jayballer73 I hope Mitch can become as competent as Landon was. But I also know no matter how much talent you have 1-4 if Lucas is your starting center you aren’t going to the final four.

Yes very true - -Landen was a decent big nothing flashy but solid - still like you say that just isn't getting you to a final four

Draft Declarations Thread • May 15, 2018 03:01 PM

@dylans While I agree some that Landen never jumped that high , I do find it interesting that for all the comments made about Landen the stats show he really didn't do that bad at all - -pretty good actually.

Rebounding is not all about how high you can jump , a lot more to it then that - and Landen was good at that - -jumping - - - but more importantly a key is positioning - work ethic, foot movement - - blocking out

If you take Udoka where he played the season - -his averaged 2.4 OR per game - - -4.6 DR per game 7.0 TRB -being supposedly 7 ft - which Coach Self said he wasn't BUT

Now if you look at Landen where he had 2 full seasons - his JR & Sr years: -- -he averaged 2.3 OR his Jr yr - -& 3.0 his SR yr - - - - - he averaged 4.5 DR hid JR yr - - - - 5.3 his SR yr

Landen finished very nicely in his two full season JR & Sr years 2 seasons in the top 10 offensive rebounding in the big 12 - - - - - 2 seasons top 10 defensive rebounding & 2 seasons in top 10 total rebounding in the big 12

in Total rebounding in 16-17 his Sr year in big 12 he accounted for 17.9% of the rebounds good for 2nd in the big 12
" " "- - - - - -for his career Landen accounted for 18.4 % of the rebounds good for 6th in the big 12

in Offensive rebounding in 16-17 his SR yr in big 12 he accounted for 13.8 % of the rebounds good for 3rd in the big 12
" " " for his career Landen accounted for 13.8 % of the rebounds good for 8th in the big 12

In Defensive Rebounding in 16-17 his SR yr in the big 12 he accounted for 21.8 % of the rebounds good for 3rd in the big 12
" - " " for his career Landen accounted for 22.4 % of the rebounds good for 8 th in the big 12

In offensive rebounds for his career Landen collected 248 good for 15th in the big 12( - playing part time Fr & Soph} - so not shabby
with two season in the top 10 in offensive rebounding

In defensive rebounding for his career Landen collected 454 good for 17th in the big 12 - - ( still top 20 in the league for his career )
with two seasons in the top 10 in defensive rebounding

In total rebounds in his career he had two top 10 seasons his JR & Sr seasons - - - -You put all this together with on top of the fact when Coach Self asked the players who they wanted on the floor with them and they all said Landen - -Landen had a pretty good career jumping as high or not

Hmmm , now here is a surprise , couldn't swear to it - but almost sounds like what I've been saying about this for some time now to some people.

Don't Bank on KU filling that 13th spot , so says Coach Self. The potential for him to keep the 13th scholarship in his pocket is a good possibility. When asked about it he said - - -Oh, Yeah he said about hanging on to the 13th scholarship now her is why which makes perfect sense to me

Especially because we won't have any Seniors next year. - -Sooooo - - -they need this Scholarship NEXT year -as he is saying not sure just how amny we will have available

Then he pretty much is saying what I've been trying to tell people - not word for word but same theory. Coach Self said that there were very few high major prospects if any that remain available - - -And we could go with what we got ( - hmmmmmm wonder where I heard that before ) He said there is no problem with that.

Then he said They have np plans just to do it to be doing it - -( Again I pretty much said why the hell would you want to just throw out a scholi just to fill the roster. - -If he as Coach said he - -unless they could find that right fit - very unlikely at this point - it is insane to hand out the last one to just fill the roster with a body unled they can be beneficial.

He said sure they could use it but with even the few that's left that we would be in the starting blocks with those guys -and with him going to Coach everything gonna be put on hold

So bottom line - -huh -- could it be? - -Coach hanging on to that 13 th - -without the sky falling and him saying we will be fine if he does? - Not sure people keep saying Coach Self isn't that type of Coach - -and yet - -here he is talking about the very strong possibility of that being what exactly happens.

Just like I kept saying would much rather for him to hang on to it - -and now Coach pretty much for sure saying the same exact thing. = So just like him changing with the times and playing 4 out -- one in - - Changing with the game - - Just could be changing his belief about using Scholarships , the sky is not falling. --- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
