@dylans AMMMMM, You bad bad bad. -- lol

Well I know that Ochai Agbaji is signing his LOI tonight so looks like he is sticking around. Has anyone heard anything from the other three's camps about when they are signing their LOI - or if they might be possibly be re-considering? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Do we really need to hear what his decision is? - Now before last night would of been more interesting- -but after these developments maybe not so much -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

That's kind of like right here in Kansas. - Down in Wichita the have the Arkansas river that runs through there. - Here in Kansas people in Wichita and surrounding areas - -call it kind of like the AR - - KANSAS - then they have the little AR-KANSAS - but man if you go to the state - -definetly ARKANSAS River - either way you pronounce it somebody gonna be hot lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans NO you mean Young-ins mouths lmao - - Y'ALL need to get it right lmao

@Statmachine Hope Y'All -s doing okie-dok - down in that there Lone Star state. - -Never have understood that phrase - that mean you only have ONE measly LONE STAR lol. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BigBad Well in one aspect of it they already are being paid. - - How? - by getting that full ride schlorship , now fully understand that this is renewable every year as it can be taken but ya their paid that way. Think if it hasn't already in place that they do receive a small amount for living expense - could be totally off but thought I had heard that some where - but was being tossed around about the possibility of getting more - Different ways of getting quote unquote being paid

@BShark THANK YOU ! ! ! ! !

@mayjay The games would be stripped of would only be the games he played in and not all tourney money would be foreited

@approxinfinity Clown is putting it mildly. - he is an absolute joke. - The indictment says the University is a Victim - nobody knew about this going on - The University - -The Coach Or Staff is not connected with this in anyway - Now Silvio guardian? - different story - and I'm not so sure about Silvio not knowing anything about this - hope I'm wrong - I'm afraid we have seen the last of Silvio on the floor and that sucks

As everyone knows I do my trolling other boards but NOT TODAY I don't even begin to want to check UK fan boards - -they like Parrish assuming a lot - an hoping - HATERS HATE- people like him just sit back and wait like a Vulture for anything bad at KU to happen. - as do the UK idiots

@KUSTEVE Ya your right we didn't. - I need to talk to Coach about that - -I love me some strippers lmao - I mean JUMPIN - - GEE - -HOSSA - -FATS - I bet Granny would be really mad though. - -sorry bud - poor timing on trying to put some humor on this - but if I don't I sit and think and try and over analyze this and just get super P- - - - - - so I went to my happy place - - thus - -Strippers lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay lmao - - I'm not laughing at you here buddy - I'm laughing with you , I'm sure it's a whole different ball game.

It's just like many , many years ago when I was in boot camp our TI -that's what the Air Force calls the instructors instead of DI"S - -anyways he was breaking the different regions of the country and how we talked. - Like the Eastern and their accent - - -The South and yours lol - -and then when he got to the Midwest - he said we all had this drawl -I thought whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? - then he promptly did his imitation of each area - so ya I feel at. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Statmachine You don't happen to be from the South do ya? - - Y'ALL? lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Statmachine You don't see me crying about Romeo or any other OAD'S. - -They are doing what they feel is best for them , it's THEIR life - it's their decision whether to play one or more then one. - -I enjoy them or while their here - would I like to see them stay longer? - -hell ya. - Am I gonna add a new vocabulary about them creating new words/phrases about them for leaving? - -Hell no. - -Again with OAD'S we know that's what they are when they come. - Why would anybody want to berate them curse them degrade them because of that when at the end of that year they did exactly what we knew they was going to do.

There are some here that lack comprehension about these teenage kids. - Tell me what is any major talented kid playing sports whether it's Basketball - - Baseball Football - what is their ultimate goal? - -They all have the same goals playing professionally right? - so you tell me even though they are OAD'S in Basketball should these kids stick around for four years to appease some selfish fans? - -or follow their dream to play what they love and get paid while doing it as soon as they can? - Some people feel like these kids OWE us something - these kids don't owe us jack squat -so no and not say your accusing me - but just saying I'm NOT one of those that that cry. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABUY

@mayjay Whoaaaaaaa? - -was that a threat I read? - -uh oh - -time to lock the doors lol. - that was a little to much I think in all seriousness right? Damm man, maybe you just need to let this thing with him go man - move to next thread ya know? - keep posting your ok - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Statmachine Oh ya - -well your just a little stir stick lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Maybe we can get a contract for our shoe's wear the " BIG BALLER BRAND ROFLMAO " - just kidding. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark ya well sounded pretty logical to umm LOTS - not just jayballer 73 lmao. - But we know you didn't give that a thought right? - - Sure you didn't it's ok. - go ahead cast those stones lmao. still ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY.

Oh ya guess you didn't feel like to answer the important question that I ask huh? - like in the end run how is this going to effect us - Penalities? - De-Commits? - -Ya I'll say it again even if the University has no wrong doing in this - -This kind of pub is just what Indiana ordered for the Romeo recruitment. - -Couldn't have come at a better time for them. - That's ok though if it does - -were still gonna be fine. - We were fine before Romeo- and he now doesn't come- we still be fine - ok ready - -GO - -throw those stones lmao

OK guys so now you get to see my real stupidity .- so bare with me as I ask these questions. - -First I believe whether we are guilty of ANYTHING of not and it says that the University is a victim here not a defendant - but I do think this whole scenario if he hadn't already decided I and some others I've talked too says they feel this here will be just enough to steer Romeo away from committing here. - I think he is now out or we are now out of the picture for him I'm afraid.

Now my questions: - -Guys do you think this will have any effect on our other 4 commits ? - will they ask for a release? - or will they stick with us? - I'm just asking. - -Have we seen the last of Silvio now?

Bottom line my friends where do we end up at the end of the day with this is done? - Any penalities? - I mean we all know for sure it was Josh - -but KU ( the University was not involved there at all - -that was between Gatto and Apples right? - we had NOTHING our hands was not in that kettle right? - -someone help me out - what happens to us? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hello everyone!! I'm new in here my buddy Gerry pointed me in this direction excited to talk Kansas Jayhawk basketball with other smart fans

This is my ol Buddy- - he loves KU basketball out of California - hope you all welcome him aboard. - -Told him have really good discussions here and a lot of knowledgible people. - Told him this was a great room - lots of topics. - Welcome buddy I think you like it here. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 I wouldn't doubt that - I don't think I'll lose any sleep on it. - -ROCKCHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Just curious - how many here think that we are still seriously looking that strongly at Chandler Lawson? I myself think we have backed off. - -Maybe a combination of things - -with Penny now being at Memphis plus on top of that is Chandler really that much of an necessity now? - Would he fit? with what we will have I think he would be on of the guys that would really have to battle for playing time - What ya think? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 And yet I'd be willing to bet if you were to check the fan boards I'd bet they are just beating the hell out of their chests not even considering about the transfers now and once again proclaiming how sure that this coming year the title for sure is their's WHY? - Cause their Kentucky don't you know lmao

@BShark YIPPEE lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Guess we will see - -but whoever starts sure glad it's a situation for us to be in - with depth unlike this year when we were struggling to have enough players and having to worry about injuries/fouls and such. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay Well saying this with tongue in cheek here so please don't take this in the wrong fashion at all just me trying to keep light hearted - -just wanting to say that I'm sure glad to see that there are OTHERS that get into some what of a some what heated discussion - I was really becoming paranoid that I was the only rebel here lol. - good to see that there are others that have minor spats/squabbles - my statement here is in all in good fun so don't take any of this the wrong way - just me being a but like normal lol.

I will say one thing and I'm not all up on all of the different things and such but all I know is - - - what is the dream of every single wide eyed kid that comes to College and participates in the game? - -It's to help improve and develop his skill with the help of the staff, every kids lifetime goal is to Reach the NBA - that's their dream - their goal - and like you said they look at it as a potential profession - they don't really come here to appease us, that's not their responsibility -I mean sure they all want to be a favorite of the fan but the bottom line - their main objective goal is the NBA - not the fan - I don't blame them - enjoy them while their here - wish they did get more - some or more financial assistance while in school - I understand they have a full paid ride but their is other financial responsibilities while in school - I dunno you all know more then me but anyways - You stay to your guns your logic on this - Again just glad I'm not the only one that gets the pot boiling here at times - -love your pots/threads for sure.- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr ummmm probably not -- -not today lol

Just looking at the projected depth chart for the 2019 season:

• PG: Dotson - Jacobs - moore
• SG: Grimes/Top Recruit SG - Agbaji
• SF - Garrett - KJ
• PF - KJ - Hurt - JRE - Mitch
• C - De Sousa - Big Dave

I actually think that works PT wise as long as Hurt is ok getting his 25 minutes coming off of the bench. I am worried about the Lawson clan getting pissed if KJ doesn't start. Of course, that could all be solved if SDS is leaving early. I would love to know who the staff thinks is here after next season.

Just my thoughts on this: - -I think Silvo is in for three years - -we are going to see a difference of night and day from this past year to this coming year for sure with him , I think your going to see him a lot more fluid loose - -better rim protector - better scorer, this past year he was still learning the system. When I seen them off on their way to San Antonio he walked past and this kid is a man - chiseled but I just think he will still be her tone his game for two more years yet.

Quentin is only going to be her for the year -absolute stud - -man some of his passing skills is crazy, and from the way they were talking Sunday the NBA People love him - decent shot from the outside - pure baller - Truly feel he is for sure a OAD

I think KJ would start over Garrett - -with Garrett continuing to play sufficient role in the back court but yet not start - unless he gets his shot to start to drop a lot more - lock down defender which is always a good spot to be in with Coach.

Have talked with some others and they seem to agree. I think the sleeper in this group and I think in the end we may have stole one here is Agbaji - I think this kid is going to surprise some people - his stock is just started to jump off the charts - really starting to come into his own. - I think the KU fans are going to really be surprised and really like this kid when it's all said and done

@BShark You would think that would have to be a big bonus for him on top of any others that might be there just like your friend and mind at Kentucky had lol

@Kcmatt7 Me too - - Quade is GONE - I think100%

@BeddieKU23 Good points. Like I said I REALLY don't have anything to back my thoughts really other then just this certain feel , I actually think like you mentioned that OL Roy might be more of a factor also with him then Duke on this one - and I know he is one of our top targets hope it turns out for us. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Maybe - but West and Harris are different position players then Bender aren't they?

@BShark Just really would be a huge mistake if he declared right now , yet we are talking about an 18 yr old- - he has so much work to do. Still there would be some NBA team willing to take that chance of his size alone probably - -he is Sooooo not reaqdy. --

I realize I'm probably in a minority and I sure hope I'm wrong but the thing is with this one Hurt , I just get this weird feeling we won't end up landing him. I mean I really don't have much if anything really to back it up , I mean KU is sounding like we are doing all the right things with him - really on him hard and everything it's just for some reason I just don't get that feel like I have with some others from the past such as Grimes & Dotson - even when Dotson's recruitment became a hot thing/rumor saying oh look out for Florida - through that I still though Dotson was ours.

With Hurt I'm just getting that opposite feeling for some reason - -might come down to the end but I think two things with him - -He either just ends up wanting to stay in State to strongly and play for Minnesota -or as like what has just been mentioned with the New addition at Memphis and the connection he has with Hurt and his dad - may land in Memphis. - -Yet I don't think so , - -my gut feel right now tells me - -he stays home , like I said nothing really solid as to why - just gut feeling , same feeling as like when a woman knows she is pregnant lol I reckon - hope I'm wrong - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 @jayballer73 They also added Derek Culver who is immediately better than him.

I didn't realize Culver was at WV. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 hmmmm, Bender? - -he was getting some quality minutes interesting.

If Konate returns he wasn't going to start. I think the other forward spot is full too. Writing on the Wall...

You feel Konate returns?

@BeddieKU23 I think it's a pretty good bet Brunson will declare also. Nothing left for him to prove/gain at the College level. Played very big roles in two NCAA Championships - - John Wooden POY ya, think for sure he will declare

@BeddieKU23 hmmmm, Bender? - -he was getting some quality minutes interesting.

@Kcmatt7 there is no way I think Izzo should retain his job. - you talk about a big time cover up/scandal - -this smells big time he should resign immediately - his is just total BS - time after time with these programs. - You can't get me to believe he knows NOTHING on anything? - -come on - I was born at night but I wasn't born last night. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Has Wendall Carter declared yet?

@nuleafjhawk In one aspect I'm like you in a way - like where you have more respect and love for the four year player - Me ? - I have more respect for a kid when say like he is this highly touted OAD - -and let's say Romeo as an example although I'm not saying this is Romeo - just using as an example - where I lose a little respect for this kind of a player is - -well like Romeo - -oh he is waiting to see what Vick and Newman are going to do. - -Well my thought on this is -- if your as good as your being touted - -as people say you are - -having Vick here or Newman here shouldn't mater. If your shying away cause of the possibility of them being here and it effecting your minutes. - -If your as good as you say you are, if your as good as people have said you are then them being here shouldn't matter just come and settle it on the floor with Vick/Newman TAKE those minutes. - -when people say your waiting to see what they are gonna do leaves the impression that your scared of the competition afraid you might not get those minutes - if your that good - then sit them down - show why you have that ranking. -That's just me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@justanotherfan Very good points - just wanted to see a little more - -looking forward to next weekend as I agree maybe more structure. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo No - -not all taking to seriously - if I were it would be a lot worse, - -Some resemblance of basketball would be nice though

@BShark Ya I'm thinking so to hopefully anyways. - - So what's your take? - -Am I just totally off on my thinking or what? - I mean these games for me anyways have just gotten really to a point of being very hard to watch - You can't really take anything about a kid away from these games

@JayHawkFanToo Very True cause there are periods where you will see no movement for months - thing is people tend to think well there isn't any change looks like this guy - -that guy still solid with whoever , when actually might not be the case. Unless you have one of these guys make a NEW prediction the CB is going to remain the same. - Like you say it's a matter I feel that sometimes these guys just get a little lazy. - -Although with Slater picking Indiana has me a little concerned - he usually is pretty spot on

@BShark umm kind of slow I'm sorry buddy. So you mean that maybe someone in his camp has leaked that he is going to Indiana? - - I'm sorry kind of slow today lol

@BShark OMG - -this stuff is just getting totally out of hand

I've got to say after watching the McDonald's game last week and the Jordan Brand yesterday, and then watching these last year - - not even why they have these anymore. They have slowly but surely digressed to nothing more then rag tag with the risk of injury. - Luckily for Romeo yesterday he wasn't hurt worse then he was, took a pretty good elbow.

But Romeo's situation isn't even what I'm talking about here. - -There really is no set offenses run here - - - holy crap very little defense, if you ask these guys about defense in these games they would have to go to the dictionary and look the word up to see what it meant.

Basically all these games have become is simple o the offensive end pass and cut - -give and go roll to the hole - -nothing more then a lot of one on one. It ends up being whoever is lucky enough to have the ball in their hands then they have a chance to do their thing. Sure Quentin look pretty good in his opportunities made some really sweet passes, showed some ability to hit the jumper - -but for the most part more often then not numerous times there were player that just jogged back didn't even make it to mid court on the defensive end,

I mean let's be serious here Emmit Williams - -sure he is good player, but 22-23 from the filed? -He was one that they pointed out about classic cherry pick - -I mean who here in their right mind is going to say that in a real game that he is going to make 22-23 with 21 of those being jams passing the ball to himself off the back board - how many think he will get out of all his attempts in a real game he will get 21 dunks? - he is good but far from that good. - I would think he would kind of keep in mind that he might want to put an asterisk for the most points breaking LeBrons - - LeBron even at that age - - Emmit - -which would you rather have at this age?

Makes these games really hard to watch. - Then on top of that the commentators for these games just ramble kind of the route of Bill Walton. Turned on hoping that possibly that I might see some resemblance of a game instead I got to watch 40 minutes of street ball. - Personally I just feel these games have almost gotten to the point of a joke. - -what are these kids gaining that is going to help them in their College Career's? It's certainly not playing against elite defense - -cause there isn't any being played in these games.

Now maybe at next weeks Nike Hoop Summit maybe better cause I think they are actually competing for a roster spot on the team this summer here aren't they? - Maybe not. - I personally think they just need to put an end to these things - -that's not ball. - - I mean when your highlight for the entire game is when you have guys going one on one seeing which one is going to out do the other while the other four members from each team stand off to the side tha's what this has become? - - -NO THANKS -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark - -misdirection? - -how so?

Ya, well the commentators make a person wonder. - They say it's just going to come down where it's going to be the best fit for Romeo. They talk about it's been Indiana Crazy on Romeo - like with Damon Bailey 0 0and that Vanderbilt and Indiana had been considered the favorites but how you couldn't ignore a team with the Coach like Self.

They did say however with Grimes in the fold - -Dotson - - Moore and such if that might play into account wondering if Romeo would be able to come in and play like he wanted to be able to play. - They don't make it sound encouraging as I'd like - -MAYBE he does end up in Indiana , the way they insinuate with coming out and saying - sounds like they just don't think it would be a fit for Romeo & KU
