@JayHawkFanToo Just because I don't share your opinion doesn't make me wrong
@JayHawkFanToo Open minded? --lol you wanna come at me about Open minded? - Again obviously you failed to read OR acknowledge the part where I said once again -IF it were possible that EVERY major league team would copy exactly the route that NY had done. - -read the entire context then respond ok?
You can bullshit all you want but if it were possible ALL teams would do exactly THE SAME don't even try to say different - -open YOUR mind
@wissox - - -lmao - - -have a great day and even better weekend lol
JayHawkFanToo said:
Successful? Perhaps. Considering the insane amount of money they make and spend based only on location, you could say they have underachieved.
LMAO - - -holy shit your are one funny person lmao - -underachieved? - -Underacheived? - -UNDERACHEIVED - -that has to be nominated for joke of the decade. - That's hardly even worth responding to - -but yet I will'
Like I said don't be a hater - - If you can seriously sit and say that NO other major league franchise would as you so sweetly put it " spend the insane amount of money " - that statement just absolutely reeks of jealously lol. - Come on man - wake up -Man I really can't believe you actually made that comment - -REALLY?
Don't be a hater just because they have that location - -not their problem - - They are VERY SUCESSFUL - - - - -VERY , VERY SUCESSFUL - thanks for mentioning. - -underachieved ?- - -26 world championships and under achieved? - remind me who is the next closest to them in Championships again? Total dominance .
So again try and sit there and tell me that IF it any -- any other team had the resources that they would not do exactly the same thing.- - I'd say your full of dog doo. - -You know - - I know - -Sister Sarah knows - - -Any and every team would do exactly the same thing , included people's so called beloved Royals - - Atlanta would - - St Louis would - -Pittsburg would - -Oakland would - - you name a team - -any team and they would do exactly the same - -- -don't hate because they have the location- - the have the money - mercy you need to rest after a statement like that - -you mut have been in the heat to long lol - - - It's ok - It's all good cause your a KU fan - - so it's all good

Is there REALLY a mystery recruit? - -or is it some people throwing out names and saying their a mystery recruit.

@jayballer73 To your response, this is crazy. Like with many things we hear that people do, it is simply unreal to consider the lack of foresight, thoughtfulness, and common sense.
Did Zenger know?
Did Zenger know? - - That's a really good question - -you know what I would almost be willing to bet we will never know

Wasn't there an incident in the last couple years involving male cheerleaders posing so only three K's were visible on their KU shirts? Just like this, funny, real funny, the kind that builds a fine reputation.
YA - - love the reputation were starting to get - -don't you
@wissox hey it's ok - - -haters gonna hate - - -I ain't mad at ya. - -It's kind of like College Basketball , how so many despise Duke - -Kentucky , successful programs - people just get tired of seeing the same teams succeed year after year after year - it's ok - -but don't hate the player - -hate the game . - -I can understand why your upset -I mean with the way the umm White Sox play, ya - kind of makes for a long summer huh? - -now just giving yo a little hard time , just playing - so don't have a blowout - -people give me crap about the Yankees all the time - -I just keep pulling , rooting , for them while they keep on winning - -pretty simple.
Not the Yankees fault they play in a major market-- - -have huge revenue and deep pockets - - - -if all the other major league teams had the same luxury , they ALL would be doing the same thing - - spending that money to get the best players - -it is what it is plain and simple.
As far as ESPN - -psssssssssst ESPN how many here have told me shouldn't get so concerned about what ESPN has to say - -ESPN is a joke - -ESPN is that East Coast Biased crap again - just like with College Basketball and Duke - -same goes for baseball and NY - -and Boston -and then the other Coast and the Dodgers.
It's ok you have every right to be upset - -PO'D - - that's your right - -Me? - - I'll just stay put and keep rooting win - -lose - -otherwise - -always have been a Yankee - - -always will be a Yankee - -and we do what we do--just keep right on winning - - -26 World Championships and more on the way - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Exactly what the hell is going on in Lawrence anyways? - -holy crap. We don't need this kind of attention not only right now but anytime period. - Cheerleading hazing? - -any kind of hazing needs to STOP period end of story.
The events that has surrounded this athletic program the last 2-3 years is just sad. - -Now whether these events actually happened - - Right - -Wrong - -or otherwise - - it's got to stop. - -Like has been mentioned by others here it has gotten to a point where we almost have to go in and clean house in the athletic dept.-- It's these kind of things that will for sure kill the recruiting or have a major impact in recruiting for the only revenue profit making program for the school -the Basketball program. - -Without the basketball and the success of this where would our athletics be?
Again did this happen? - -maybe - -maybe not. -- possibly - - possibly not - -if it did -then something has to be done for sure , these women don't deserve this kind of crap -the school doesn't need this kind of negative representation. - Like one said are we coming to be another Baylor?
Plus whether people want to turn their heads - - look the other way and pretend NONE of these things are going on - - -time to wake up - - smell the Coffee - - IT IS going on - -and it's goin on here at our beloved University. - - and if you want to deny - -or say oh no - -no way will this happen - think again - I'm talking about if these types of things continue to happen like this whole FBI scandal - -this hazing thing - - the dorm where our players stay - - -Carlton Bragg -- Silvio - - LaGerald - - -Josh - - - I know sure quite possibly we don't know things probably never will - - then the Alexander thing with his mom and Money - -just the mere mention is not a good look for us. - -but these types of things if they continue if we can't get this stopped , could very easily be a determining reason Coach Self could finally say -you know what screw this , I'm done with all this , and resign - - -THIS could be the ONE reason he could pull stakes and move on and explore his NBA options - most like the San Antonio after Pops retires which isn't very far away.
Coach may just say he has had enough of all the NCAA bullshit -recruiting regulations - -- -allegations - - FBI probes - - eligibility issues - - -the wear and tears of recruiting . - -you think this sounds crazy? - - -YA OK you go ahead and keep right on thinking that -- I'm tellin ya if this crap doesn't straighten out it can happen - and happen easily -- He has always expressed at least some interest in exploring the NBA - -has at least talked a little bit - and I think as well as several other people feel that San Antonio is the ONE NBA team that he could very well leave for. - - it's not as crazy as some may think. - -Yet if people want to continue to close their eyes and deny you go right ahead Then if and when if happens - - -you ask what the hell happened? - - umm ya - -not so crazy after all huh? - - We have get these problems or accused problems fixed.
What's the solution if these are all true? - - Clean house?- - -Possibly - something has to be done. -- You tell me how we fix these things
@dylans The sixers actually blew this game I think - -they had it - -just costly turnovers - -bad shots at the wrong times - and let's be honest JO JO made his share- - I mean he IS NOT the guy you want shooting a 3 in a crucial stretch of the game - love the guy to death but he had plenty of TO's in this series.
Yet he by far was not the reason they lost this series. I think there was just at times some bad match ups. -Rozier - - -Horford - - & Tatum just killed them.
One thing I really have noticed while watching , JUMPIN - -GEE - - HOSSIE - -TOADS the NBA is SO DAM PHYSICAL. - I mean didn't matter either and both team just practically mauled who was trying to defend in certain situations. - Including JO Jo I mean this big guys get the ball lower a should just keep bowling the defender backwards closer until they got the position they wanted - -I mean just brutal big big difference between the physicality between College and the NBA

Good luck, my friend.
I hope you heal up well!
Thank you just taking a little longer. Some days I think it's progressing then others ehhh not so much. Yet I'm not special it's the same for everybody it just takes time to heal. My problem is I always want to rush the process , and consequently fully believe that's what happen for the 2nd surgery when I re-tore both the LCL & MCL - -just got to learn to be more patient lol. - not one of my stronger traits. - certainly appreciate your thoughts thanks a lot. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

As great as the Yankees have been through out the History. They'll never be the Royals.
Just ribbing ya. The Yankees are to Baseball as apples are to apple pie. Yes your Yankees are smoking hot.
Ya your right - -they NEVER will be the Royals - -thank GOD lol - - -right back at ya. - - In all seriousness I remember when the Royals and Yankees used to have some classic battles
well my life long team is doing well. - -As you know and as some so kindly like to ride me on them - -anyways main while back at the ranch The Yankees doing quite nicely thank you for asking lol. - - 25-10 tied with Boston going into tonight. I'm just really wondering actually how they are doing it with so many batting under 200 - or barely above 200.
Pitching been good - -not dominant - - -Although we did juat get through holding the Astro's scoreless for 23 innings. -- that and DD has been outstanding. But Gardner is hitting 198 - - -Stanton like 225 and our Catcher hitting around 200 - - plus a couple more - guess I shpuldn't be complaining though - -long season
OK JO JO it's game time - - -boys better bring it, the Boston fans gonna be ridin you hard JO JO for the scuffles - -time to do this
@BeddieKU23 I certainly understand where your coming from for sure. - -My biggest problem I think is that people throwing out names mostly for the two spot - - I understand yes we could use the two a outside shooter for sure but it's gotten to the point with that spot our 2 - that it sure seems at this point that some are just suggesting anybody for a 2 we lost on Romeo - -we lost Cremo . - -Yes quite possibly our 3pt shooting will fall from previous years , but in these recent previous years we have been towards the top of the nation in 3 pt fg pct - - so ya we will tail off , but I feel that it's not as bad as some try and make it out to be. As to where we need to get just about anyone who can shoot from time to time decently from there just to say we filled the outside need. - That's the point it's getting to - there are a lot of other factors that goes into the player then just hitting the outside J. - If he can't play defense worth a crap - -what good is he - - if he is a below average ball handler is it worth the scholarship? - everything he is giving us on the offensive end - he is giving back on the defensive end.
Understand the concern about IF Doke and Silvio do not return - -in Reality I think Doke comes back - -Silvio - -not so much dang it -- I could possibly see us maybe like you say trying to possibly get another Big because of that -I think it's going to work okay- - but if we do go Big - just not Bassey from everything I've heard right?

@jayballer73 is your knee healed?
Still in a Brace -been 8 weeks , but they say it may be something that I just have to wear all the time. - -Doctor told me they found most of the damage behind my knee cap - the cap still having a tendency to float - - so they having me wear the brace to help stabilize , have my days you know, thanks for asking. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
See here we go . - -it's like WELP missed that guy BUT yet-- oh , oh, wait how about THIS guy. - This crap is insane , another person I read on taking about how the recruit pool shriveling up. - AGAIN it's coming across like sounding like we jut looking for a warm body -that is just nuts.
We ARE NOT DESPERATE - -come on man , I mean we miss Romeo , - well then ok I finally say well I guess if people think Cremo can really help - ya ok maybe then - -decent numbers decent shooter - -NOW we miss on him and it's like next man up. - -no it shouldn't be next man up.
Some people almost act like the sky is going to fall if we don't use this 13th scholarship - to me that's just whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Hell give me the scholarship , people act like we going straight to hell if we don't use it. - - Again if you can't find some one that truly can really benefit you then HOLD IT and please don't come back with the same line well Coach Self doesn't like to hold . - If that's truly the case then it's time Coach Bill change his approach on that just like he has learned to adapt to the 4 out and 1 in - -times change - -things change - - circumstances change
We hve missed on players we were after now - -we have had a very good recruiting year - we don't get the last body - - -OH WELL move on to the 2019 class and be done with it - -we are going to be fine - -sure we might struggle some from the outside but no one can say 100% beyond a shadow of doubt that's going to be the case. - -I just think there are some that's putting way to much in to this 13th scholarship being used
Read this morning where Grimes is going to be there with him. - You would have to think this could do nothing but be a positive spin for Coach Self with these kids , just like I'm sure it did for K. Having additional time with Grimes , and getting the chance to work with some targets he is looking at , having that time to watch them work and them getting to know Coach better hope it helps. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
You know I love JO JO. - - tell you what he is a stir stick though lol , always instigating , you know for sure he will be the fan favorite in Bean town for the next game lol. -Quite the talker. Got into it a little bit with Marcus good to see BOTH former KU guys doing well.
Now having said that again I'm all for JO JO but I think Marcus response pretty well said it all. - -Straight to the point. - At the time 3-0. as Much as I like JO JO'S - -antics- plays to the fans - I think in a series like this-he needs maybe a little less smack - -and just let his game do his talking for him , let those others talk that - -I don't really think Boston has any ONE that can check him - JO J0 just do your thing man.
I do think it was pretty funny how Rozier tried to mix it up - -JO JO says to bad he is to short to reach my face lol. Bottom line I think all last night did was to extend the inevitable - no way Philly beats Boston 4 games in a row
Was watching some more on this Cremo kid. - -Looks like has a lot of catch and shoot - capable at times looks like of knocking down deep 3 - -distance.- Was stated he has like a little Jeff Boschee in him. - - Not a great defender , if he wants a lot of minutes that's gonna have to change. Not how good he is a getting his own shot , seen possible couple of times maybe create - -but looks to me a lot more catch and shoot. - - if he commits here - we shall see.
@BShark Let's see - -is this Moore comparable in size to the Nick Moore? Right from SMU that played with us when we was representing the USA? - they are both about the same size weren't they?
@BShark just me I've just though Devon would always start - -never felt Moore would start - - maybe I'm the crazy one

Doesn’t look good for the 76ers future if they can’t beet the Celtics this year. The Celtics return Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward next season. If Philly wants to compete they better sign another superstar.
Like Lebron? - -have heard some rumblings possibly
@BShark I just have a feeling that that possibly this Eliott kid may see a few more minutes possibly then normal walk on do you?

Stock piling PGs for @jayballer73
LOL - - -good lookin out lol. - -just what we need ANOTHER point guard LOL
@BShark from what I read today sounds like Michigan is a pretty heavy leader right now. Was suppose to be meeting with him - haven't offered yet but it's coming - - -just kind of sounds like he is pretty heavy on Michigan
JO . JO doing his part I mean like Saturday he had a 20 - plus point game--- & like right at 20 if not more in rebounds - -averaging close to 20 for the series in scoring - -just needs more help.
Rozier has just been killing the sixers in the series. In quite honesty just a bad matchup with him it looks like - -Then Tatum been doing a number - - hell as far as that goes Horford even doing damage. - - I think the boys season is done
@BShark wouldn't surprise me - -looks like he has the tools , continue to develop - -looks like has the makings of some game. - -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Sorry guys I'm getting old - - - really old lol. - -The kid I thought BShark was talking about isn't 7"2 - got him confused with the kid that MayJay was talking about in the title - - - no wonder I was questioning the height lol
Sorry just some other things I noticed and failed to mention. - - -Nice crossover - - got some shake and bake - - fakes , continuation play - -I sit back and watch and think -kids like this - - at this age just shouldn't be able to do some of these things - -not as well as this anyways = =AND is a lefty - - something about a left handed shooter I think for some reason a little harder to defend against a lefty -ok I'm done - - -For now lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
You know it's really pretty remarkable how some kids are developing these days. I mean this kid with continued work/routine if he wants to stay after it seriously I think we could agree just very well might turn out to be a really sought after kid.
I mean you watch this clip , he already seems to have decent ball handling skills , can attack the hole - -looks like he can finish through some contact - - - -can shoot outside , - - - you can see where he has a couple decent moves already - -nice little fade away - - - --makes blocks -pretty much a complete player. - -It's all about how serious about the game - -if he is willing to put the work into it - -I mean he has right now - -but will need to just continue - -and if he does? - - -YA I would agree with you for sure - for sure someone to keep an eye on- The one thing I am kind of curious about though is he really 7'2? - - -- I'm not sure about that , kinda wonder - doesn't really TOWER over the other boys as much for surposed to be that height. - -Could be - -but might have to see more to believe he is 7"2 but could be . - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Near misses with the Joplin tornado and Carl Junction a few years earlier. Joplin looked like it had been carpet bombed.
Boy do I remember that disaster - -not directly involved with that one but sure do remember
@dylans Well I live in Topeka now - -have for quite awhile - went through the big F-5 that almost wiped Topeka off the map - -had went into Topeka to et medicine for our niece - -was in White Lakes Mall and this huge Tornado coming over Bernett's Mound - -the myth was the mound would deflect any tornado - -ummm not this one - - Reporter was trying to describe it - -tell people to take cover. He was saying this thin is huge - -it's really ugly and then said - - the hell with this I'm getting the hell out of here lol. We were in the mall , they were telling everybody to get out that this was not an official Tornado shelter -they couldn't take responsibility. - -Said we were welcome to stay - but at our own risk
Then I was in another F-5 in the Andover Tornado - - not a pretty site.
well . well . here we are going thru spring and into summer here in Kansas. - Not sure I've told everyone how happy I am in the spring in Kansas lol, right here in The heartland of Tornado Alley.
Up until here yesterday was the longest we had went with a single Tornado - -Yesterday we had 12 - -and today/tonight we are right in the bulls eye right here in Topeka and the Kansas City area being in the biggest threat- -they said very well could be worse then yesterday - large wedge Tornados - - yippee I can hardly wait. -I can hardly wait. - -I've been through 2 - -F-5's that's enough for me and then multiple others
With that being said I'm busy trying to find that dam dog Toto - -the tin man - -& yes Dorthy so we can find those dam Ruby Red slippers and get the hell out of here.- - Tornado Alley crazy my friends. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

KU offered 2019 PG Tre Mann from Florida. Top 40 player.
Let me ask you this buddy. - With KU offering to him , just confuses me a little - -I mean are they think Devon is a OAD? - - PLUS we still have Moore a s a PG on the roster. - That's not even talking about Moore being the start pg - just on the roster.-- Seems to me that and this is what I'm asking you cause it seems or looks like to me they are Recruiting over Markese. - -Unless they fully believe Dotson is a OAD your gonna have - - Dotson -- -Moore - - -Jacobs - -and then they offered this guy? - -kind of looks like to me they are over recruiting this spot unless they pushing someone out
@BeddieKU23 Maybe we need to get one established - -and soon lol
@BeddieKU23 OH LORD - -WHY? - WHY are we messing with somebody like this? - - JUMPIN - - -GEE - -HOSSIE - - TOADS --what the hell is going on, surely we can do better then go after recruits such as this

It looks really bad, I see no other way around that. Should have known better to expect recruiting tactics to completely change. We have to get away from these kids with eligibility issues
Thank you.-- EXACTLY my feeling. - -seems like these last three four years - -always something.Would be nice to be able to have at least one peaceful recruiting season.
@BeddieKU23 Boy I sure don't know about Bassey. - -Good player but flags , flags , flags , - -exactly what is the poison that is surrounding this guy? - Is that people are just speculating of bad things because of the Worm at Western Kentucky? - or is it something else? - -I he has legit concerns then we need to Run and Run as fast as we can run. - we need to put a stop to these iffy players. Coach must think they will be o with him. - -Big flag is you don't really see any of the other blue bloods really recruiting him
@HighEliteMajor See But I wouldn't understand the sanctions part though. - - Any sanctions that landed on KU would more likely then not wouldn't be enforced till AFTER Romeo's one year cameo appearance was over with - so why should he worry about any sanctions? - I don't know.
Like I said before though we were fine before Romeo - -and were fine today and tomorrow and next year not like the only upper tier player we have missed on and won't be the last. - It's gonna be ok I think. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
