There is only ONE small itsy bitsy teeny weeny problem facing us with all these kids we talking about plucking away when these programs crash and burn. - - That being is we ourselves might be in the same boat as these other programs. - -These kids are not going to want to transfer from one school where it's happening and jumping right to ANOTHER school facing the same possibilities - the possibility of probation and being barred from the Tourney for a bit - -it all sounds good but I'm sure not getting all hyped about these other kids possibly coming from these other schools until we get cleared from any penalities. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@stoptheflop I agree, I wouldnt sleep on Carter Stanley, he had several good moments but the previous staff wouldnt let him play thru his mistakes like they did with Bender. I still think QB wasnt our main issue last year offensively, play calling and Oline hampered us IMO. @jayballer73 I'm as excited as I've been since 2009. May even attend my first spring game.
that's my budy -- let's see what we got - - I've been looking at possible dates I can make this year might try 2-3 games

@jayballer73 Who gets bumped off?
The first team was easy and obvious. Shayok, Brown, Culver, Wade and Lawson. Without a doubt all the guards there had a better season than Dotson.
Second team had Makai Mason and Desmond Bane who both had better seasons than Dotson.
sure not givin Dotson much credit there are ya buddy? - -I would of taken Dotson over Mason - -Mason hut to much - - Mason a scoring - -Dotson MUCH MUCH better overall player - -assisting - - rebounding - no doubt in my mind Dotson over Mason
This whole FBI sting thing - -NCAA corruption is just getting started - -this like they said could very easily change NCAA basketball - -before it's said and done this thing is going to reach near and far - -a lot of stones over turned - it will get REALLY - - - REALLY UGLY - a lot more schools to come - -just like we seeing hearing other schools being mentioned now and you wait there will be other BIG TIME SCHOOLS exposed - -far - - far from over. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Another good game for Dave yesterday with 12 points. He is growing up before our eyes
I agree. You can see his confidence growing - got a nice shot he can every now and then hit that jumper -- one thing he doesn't lack for sure is effort. - I'm sorry but still kind of have to laugh and it's just because he is so full of energy but when he out in the open floor defending - -boy those arms get to flying - -not trying to make fun but yet still I laugh hell don't ask me why lol. - - he gonna be a good 3-4 yr player for us - - could end up being a dominant player in time believe it or not. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Beyond a shadow of a doubt 100% for sure we can beat K-State AND Texas Tech. Like I stated here just yesterday I think people are just fooling themselves if they don't think this is going to be one of the most WIDE OPEN tournaments since the conception of the Big 12 - -flat out bottom line.
Does that mean we do it - - maybe not - but I'm not trippin - because we have a very legit shot -we have proven we can beat K-State - - we have proven we can beat Tech - -not sure why some are having such a hard time conceiving that we can't - again wide open - - any of these teams - -with the exception of WV & Oklahoma St has a shot at being very competitive this coming weekend - - and even those two COULD spring the upset.
Sure we are going to have to play well - but who the hell ain't gonna have to do that? - -There is just not enough separation between K-State - - - Texas Tech - - -Baylor - - KU - -and yes Iowa State - to just say that these guys will lose to those guys. - -I'm tellin ya the winner of that Iowa St/Baylor game could very easily beat K-State - -very easily - -if you catch Iowa State on a ay when they are hitting those J's - -they are very very athletic. -- The way Baylor pounds the boards - and at times - do look now but that could happen easily.
As far as us should we beat Texas - -people going off the game with us against them at their house - - -BAD IDEA. - -that was a night were everything went their way - - nothing our way - -somebody please remind how things played out against them at the phog? - -people seem to forget - -we take everyones best shot - -why? - - cause we are KU - -when we play at others house -- fan's player Coach's have THAT GAME marked - they beat us - -for a lot of fans some teams that makes their season. - normally 1/2 full arena's when we play - - it's full flowing out the exits - you see these fancy gadgits for the game only to be used for that game.
I'm not raising no dam we surrender flag for sure - -that's why we play the game - - play it out on the floor. - I am NOT scared of K-State - -ANYTHING BUT. -Tech playing away from Tech -- - - I'll take my chances -- thanks. - KU can play with anyone of these teams - - KU can beat anyone of these teams. -With Quentin showing signs of coming out of that slump - -with Dave showing signs -Let's play ball - roll it out see who has the chones - -Will we win? - -who knows? - -Can w win? - -HELL Ya we can - people already writing us off - - crazy - - - -the REAL question is - - can they beat us away from their house ? - K-State didn't - -Tech didn't - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Agree. Stanley doesn't move the needle with the guys we have already signed. He's an electric athlete but his all around games wouldn't upgrade the team next season. If Grimes does return that's huge if he continues on this improved play he's shown the last two games
nod, nod
He'd be a bench guy and I don't think he is going anywhere to come off the bench.
Agbaji being a total baller changed the need to recruit a wing imo. Dotson, Grimes, Garrett and Agbaji are all minute eaters assuming all are back next year.
And I'm beginning to think they all will be. - A lot of People ar starting to worry about Dotson. -- I just don't think my boy is going anywhere THIS YEAR - -Now next year - -I wouldn't be promising anything.
Even though Devon has had a really good year - -solid - there is things he could still improve on - -could always work on his outside J still some yet - -I dunno but just overall little things. - -Would be a very solid class for us next year if all these guys returned which I'm thinking more and more they will. - -If somehow - Doke WOULD come back - -we would be really Salty - with McCormack' - -development and gaining experience and a Senior Mitch and our Newcomer's

TCU probably just blew what little shot they had, missed a ft, then KSU missed and got the rebound on a jump ball.

While driving home tonight from Northern Wisconsin, about a 7 hour drive I was on my phone quite a bit reading. (my daughter was driving at the time) Here's another streak we're on. We have a streak going back to 2009 of being ranked in every poll. This is the 3rd longest streak in history, UCLA has the longest but we have the longest active streak. We'll have to stay ranked for 22 more polls to break their record. Not sure how many polls make up a season, but I'd guess we'd have to make it to the end of next season if there's 5 months in a season, 4 polls per month, plus a few more this week. Another pretty cool record to aim at.

@wissox Right, at this point if you can't beat this team thats as much pieced together as any I can remember at Kansas, when will you? There is a good chance we return everyone that's playing good minutes outside Dedric. We are setup pretty good for the next 2 or 3 seasons depending on whom stays and goes. If we can tie for the title this season, the streak realistically could reach 17 or 18 IMO. Obviously that's without any sanctions and with the way that looks 15 straight maybe be a short celebration if it even happens.
I'm starting to feel more and more that Grimes WILL come back for his Soph Season - -and my gut saying too Doke might very well come back also
