@jayballer73 @Texas-Hawk-10 I know you guys were mentioning it on instinct but it seems there is smoke picking up for Jalen Wilson indeed potentially ending up back at Michigan. Certainly something to keep an eye on. Michigan people are confident.

I’ll be more nervous if Howard actually schedules a visit with him. As of now it’s really just KU and UNC involved really seriously.

My bad buddy, went and checked again - -no I can't see where he has anything set with them - - -YET - -it is the N Carolina visit that I mistook it for - he is visiting them the 3rd-5th of June,

Kind of funny Michigan fans seem to think they have a leg up on Ku & UNC because of the playing time Jalen where he said he wasn't coming to a school to sit. - -that's where they think they have the leg up - figuring he will get more time at Michigan then of the either Schools. - -Sorry I'm not seeing that at KU -- I think he steps right in and starts here. -- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

From what I've read Howard DOES have a visit scheduled with him. - I believe it is on the 5th after he gets back from N Carolina.

@jayballer73 Yeah. You get it. ✊

It’s scary as hell in that moment, but to cower in fear over every warning or super cell is dumb as it gets - such a waste of energy.

Storm chasers are a huge pain in the keister. Those jerks tend to park in the middle of the road making travel dangerous.

I live in tornado alley you don’t have to chase them, just spend more time outside than inside during the spring/summer, you’ll see one eventually.

Any additional signings- Wilson and Walker would fit in with this team's makeup. Walker I've seen can be a bit feisty but that's something Self can work with. Wilson seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

Your right , Kyree can be feisty at times - -but the kind of feisty he has I want. - -I love his edge , it's ok you good - let them know it , you got game - -you can back your game - -then hell ya , let them know this is YOUR COURT. - I think we could use someone who has some edge. I don't know how many times I have watch KU games - -a player for us makes a really huge play late in the game critical point and they do what they do and then just turn around and jog back to the other end - -places like that where they SHOULD be a little Demonstrative - let the opposing team/ - the fans - -let them know - -YA I DID THAT - NOW WHAT? -I DID THAT - edge never hurt anyone little cockiness to them as long as you can back it up. - - -GET SOME

If Q had demanded to play pg, wouldn't he have the same opportunity with us that he would've had anywhere else in his junior year after DD left? I wonder if Q's drama is why DD waited so long to announce... maybe there was some friction there...maybe DD didn't like Q saying the line about only seeing half his game...hmmmm....vewwy interesting...

I think you very well easily hit things on the head. - I think behind the scenes I think Devon and Quentin may of very well had friction who knows? - we will never know but I've thought that myself , at times this past year I had seen what I thought that it just felt like some chemistry was missing - maybe to much individualism - But it's time to move on - -Better days. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Have a very very hard time buying into Bill showing Grimes the door when he welcomed Vick back who was quadruple the headache.

I don't think Coach showed him the door in any way - - shape - -or form. - -I think this is all Quentin and his goofy camp. - - there wiping his nose , and telling him -- it's Ok - were gonna take our ball and go home -- these kids don't play nice.

I just think it was purely a case of where he just didn't fit, had one really great game , and then got his head full of who knows what - a lot of mis-information , maybe he was thinking it was to easy -a lot of him hearing he was better then he is - -I don't buy coach showing him the door period. - This was ALL MOMMY AND DADDY

@jayballer73 i knew for a fact that Q was buh bye, but then I let my guard down, and read a soapy article about Q and his struggles, and got to thinking he would come back.Of course, I felt like DD was gone, gone, gone. So, the thought of him transferring didn't seem right, or even plausible with DD gone. But then DD pulls out, and a minute later, Q transfers. My question is...if DD had stayed in the draft, would Q be transferring? Could you imagine a Q/Marcus backcourt?

I was wondering about if Devon DID stay put - -Q come back so he could play the point - -But I don't know seems like a lot of , what is the word I'm looking for - -maybe just to much friction with all parties concerned - could of been a cancer in the end. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Bosthawk So you think Q is going to commit to staying in college for 2 more years? I don't see that happening at all. Could it be possible? Maybe a 1% or less chance he transfers...

I dunno the longer this goes today - the more nervous I get , makes me think this is a lot harder of a decision for him to make - -& that's not good.- - He wouldn't be the type of kid as to where he doesn't make an announcement and just automatically stay in the draft would he without telling us anything? - -I sure wouldn't think that is the case - -but man after the way this year has gone - anything is possible I think.

Another thing , seen the post about how in the last 24-48 hours there has more talk in the Grimes camp about him seriously coming back to KU - - he hasn't made any announcement either. - -

Question - -now just hear me out on this , you don't suppose do you - you don't possibly think that maybe - - JUST MAYBE he is holding out - -waiting to see or not IF Devon stays in the draft or not do you? - -MAYBE - - MAYBE he just waiting to see - If Devon sticks in the draft - -Quentin wants to come back and run PG - - MAYBE ?
