Again I can't day it's a done deal for us - -I CAN'T say it's not a done deal for UNC - - won't surprise me either way at this point- - - -still same time table we will see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well decided to start a new thread on this Basketball Scandal- - It's about to get real. - -Starting off our Wonder innocent Big Blue from Kentucky is now in the picture surprise , surprise.

The article states: Dawkins E-Mails that was sent to his business partner Munish Sood he detailed payment plans for players from Arizona - - - - -Alabama- - -Cincinnati- - - -Kentucky - -Louisville- - -LSU - - -Miami- - - -Mississippi St - - - -Oregon- - - -USC- - - -And Xavier - --some of which were to begin in Sept 2017.

Dawkins listed 19 perspective players who were either in College: - -Alabama ( Collin Sexton ) - - - - -Mississippi St ( Lamar Peters ) - - - Oregon ( Troy Brown )- - - Arizona's ( Rawle Alkins )- - - - -Cincinnati ( Jacob Evans )- - - - - -Louisville ( Ray Spalding ) - - - -And ( VJ King )- - - - -Miami's ( Dewon Huell ) - - - - -LSU'S (Brandon Sampson ) - - - -USC ( De'Anthony ) - - - - -Xavier's (Trevon Bluiett ) - - -- And Kentucky's Jarred Vanderbilt )

Dawkins E-Mail included intricate payment for several of the playes and their families, and it revealed myriad people who might of had financial stakes in the potential NBA career. - - As part of the proposed deals Dawkins had apparently offered or was prepared to offer Employment with Lloyd inc to members of the family Coach's - - siblings - -cousins - -and other associates of the players.

To E-mail Dawkins planned to give Vanderbilt's family 30'000 travel expense to watch him play - - -plus his farther 29.000 signing bonus when he turned pro - - -his brother Jamal and dad also would be a part of deal and receive 25 %of our income on all sides proposed giving 100.000 line of credit and 25 % advance on marketing revenues if he was projected as a lottery pick. - -That part didn't happen a he hurt his foot and only played in 14 games.

Enos more likely is interested in being Les’s OC. Locksley, not Enos, calls plays at Bama. Enos is looking to get back after it. If the rumored names for assistants work out, it’s going to be a hell of a staff.

@jayballer73 Well, good for them. when they lose this year, I'll watch ESPN cry like babies.

Me too -- ESPN LOVE FEST with the ACC/SEC. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

well was just reading the picks on final four team pick 7 National Camp picks from 29 people - -a couple of strange picks in final four - -and ONE really strange pick to me anyways in Champ - Here they are

Final four picks -- there were 16 different teams with at least ONE final four picks lead by : KU ( with 24 out of the 29) - -followed by - - - -Kentucky with ( 19 ) - -- -Duke ( with 13 ) - - - - - -then Gonzaga ((with 12 ) - - then Tennessee ( with 10 ) - -

The surprises of picks on final 4 - - - Syracuse -- - -( with 7 ) - -are they that good ? - - -AUBURN ( with 1 ) - - -Seriously? - - -Davidson (with 1 ) - -Whaaa? - - Mississippi State ( with 1 ) - -where did that come from? -a surprise they didn't get more - - Villanova ( with 1 )

Ten as far as National picks :- - - - seems like the overwhelming pick is - - - - -Kentucky almost double anyone else -- Kentucky with ( 10 picks ) - - - - - - - Gonzaga - - - With (5 ) - - - -KU - -With ( 5 ) - -

The surprise - -Duke with ( only 2 ) - -and the biggest surprise pick to win it all -- Syracuse with ( 1 ) - -Are you kidding ) -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Cincinatti 3 Ohio State 2. Five minutes into the game.

What Channel?

Read where the QB Coach might have an interest , he was the Arkansas offensive Cordinator 2015-17- -His name is Dan Enos. - -He ran pro style under Enos coached Brandon Allen ( 2016 threw for 3,000 yds Brandon led the Nation in QB efficiency threw for 3,440 yards and 30 TD's in 2016. - -that's great but we don't have that Caliber of QB.

Was 4 Seasons at Michigan State as assistant Coach

Left Central Michigan wit a 26-36 record- -last loss to - - KU 24-10 and this is the Coach we would want? lol 3 6 win seasons - -went to 2 bowl appearances 1-1 I dunno - -think I would pas. ROCK CHALK ALLDAY LONG BABY

While we are on the subject of east coast bias (which extends far beyond ESPN), my prediction is that Duke will be #1 in the next poll, despite the fact that we won as well.

Oh I agree , I think the way they destroyed Kentucky - -they will be # 1.- it's ok the rankings at this time of year really doesn't matter other then for the fans to thump their chest - -it's later when it's more important - - ;et them have their's now - -we will take ours at the end of the year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DDAY LONG BABY

Texas Hawk 10 said:

Last night was Duke's A game and it was spectacular to watch. Their A game is the best A game in the country.

They also won't do that every night. I believe it was Bill Self that said most teams play their A game 4-5 times a season, D-F game 4-5 times a year, and the rest of the season is their B-C game.

For the most part, the Silvio situation won't impact KU on the court. The one team that not having Silvio is really going to hurt Kansas is if they play Duke in the NCAA tournament. Silvio would've allowed Self to play a line up of Doke, Silvio, and Dedric against Duke's front line.

That frontline match up would be sweet to see I bet. - -I think actually well for sure IF Silvio was available - I think we would have better frontline if that were to happen--- KU a lot of Height from them to go against - just more depth in Bigs. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Texas Hawk 10 said:

@jayballer73 Wofford is the type of team that would be a 13/14 seed in the NCAA tournament and could give someone trouble. Obviously KU shouldn't lose at home to them, but it also wouldn't be surprising if they kept it competitive for most of the night. It's one of those match ups people would be tempted to take Wofford to cover.

then they would be fools Hell I'll take their money if they want to throw it away. - -Mark it down right here right now KU wins this game anywhere from 10-15 points

Hope you don't think I'm trying to argue - - I just don't think they will hold up especially with us at home -- I understand what your saying but I have never felt any more comfortable about a game like this. - -We GOT THIS - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

Strongly disagree. Calipari is a bad offensive coach and it showed last night. He also had no answers to get UK coherent on defense. His line-up choice to start the 2nd half was a joke.

You can draw up all the X's and O's you want - -after you do that - -it's on the players, lack of focus--- execution - -;- 15 TO's - -that's not the Coach THAT'S the players lack of attention -- I know of at least twice where Kentucky players just flat as threw it right to Barrett for TO's and 2 points - Cal can't go out and execute things for them - -THEY have to do that -again just a plain and simple ASS WHUPPIN - nothing to be ashamed of - -- -well wait actually there is lmao -- but hey they won't be the only team that is going to take ass whuppin from Duke this year,

ACC play is a meat grinder, they will pick up some Ls there. Maybe only 2-3 but still. UNC, Virginia etc...

Not so sure , after seeing UNC play last night , I think UNC will be in real trouble against Duke

I wouldn't pick any team to beat Duke right now, but UNC will play them really tough at home.

Also, Wofford is a good team, they will make KU sweat too this year.

ehh O doubt that. for one UNC played them at their place -- for two - -we play them at the phog and if were a legit final 4 - -possible Champ - -you don't lose to teams like that- -especially at your place. we know the atmosphere the phog can put out , we get on a roll at home , we can blow them out. - -No way do they match our front line or our depth. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark I don't think it was the Coach- - I think they just got their ASS spanked by superior players. - -The have the most talented 3 players in the game -- -HANDS DOWN. -- when you get your ass spank by 34 and could of been worse if K hadn't pulled his starters with over 4 minutes to go - that was just a good old ass back behind the shed ass whupping. Even Coach Cal - -said their Coach was better -- they were just better - -can't agree they just flat got their ass beat plain and simple - -no excuses. Way to may turnovers - - plain BEAT DOWN - - I myself LOVED IT -- this was not on the Coach

@BShark Let's see If I'm not mistaken , yet if I'm right THIS will be the last year you will see a team like that - -doesn't the new rule if it has been approved - this will be the last year for something like Duke has this year - the new rule with the NBA and the College players being able to Go to the NBA - -if it is , you won't see players like these three play together ever again they will be in the NBA

I like the Dook worship by ESPN because it's always juicy when they get punked.

Who is gonna stop Williamson? -- please don't say Doke - -it would be just another case of Doke getting taken out in open space - - guy with a 45 inch vertical? - - holy crap space -anyone just happen to catch him leading the fast break and the bounce pass he made? - -umm ya. - -I mean come on now let's be honest.

I thought we played really well especially the 1st half , then I watched the Duke -UK game and thought DAMMM -those 3 freshman. - -Truthfully - -it would not surprise me if they took over the # 1 ranking next week with their total dominance of the # 2 team who also had the # 2 ranked recruiting class , they just dominated UK in every phase of the game from start to finish. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox I read the thread after the game also, and noticed all of those comments, too. But I admit I myself was shouting at Vitale for the constant rah rah for ND football during live action!

There might have been a time when Vitale was good, but we are talking 15+ years ago. He's lost it. Frequently wanders to irrelevant topics.

you may not like Vitale , i'm not crazy about him either - - BUT - -I will still take him over Walton - - OMG -- - -you talk about irrelevant topics - -holy crap he talks about 90% of the time talking about anything and everything OTHER then the game - -he has hit the pipe one to many times - -time for him to put the pipe down and slowly back away- he is just horrible. - Could you imagine Walton AND Vitale doing a game together. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Likely the last hurrah for both coaches, certainly for Beaty, but looks more and more like it will be for Snyder as well.

very much so. - -Just was reading from the message boards , there is ALOT and I mean ALOT of their fans saying it's time to go. - -Had to laugh at one post, the poster said - -Well if KU is focusing on Les Miles then w need to focus on Saban lol

Well , had to do my little search on game day - see what the opposition fans was having to say. - -It's always interesting to see what the fans are saying.

So with that being said some things that can stat your day with a little chuckle: - -I'll save what I thought was the best one for last.

Boosters will probably be in the locker room handing out Cash if KU is leading at the half. - - - - Any sanctions from Dollar Bills unethical behavior will be assessed to K-State - - - -and here is the best negative I have seen so anyways what I thought and it was - - -Just curious to see if Self will be Coaching - - - -roflmao -- - Whaaaa? - -myself thought was just funny as hell lol - -I got some giggles out of that one anyways.

No this was one of some the positive things said - - KU probably has the best roster in College basketball - - - -Quite a few are actually quoting that KU will win comfortably - -I mean like 13-18 points - -this from MSU fans - -I don't see that. Some saying they might hang with us for the half then w pull away - -comments like how deep we are in the frontline - saying they think we have very talented tall backcourt. - -just passing along. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

These Champions classic's are always close for the most part , hope we play well -Show. - - -Our last two have been really close 65-61 over Kentucky and then 77-75 - -over Duke - -hate those close games when we win , much rather be like 8-9 point wins so I could relax some what instead of sitting on the edge of the recliner OR getting up and walking out of the room on a last possession cause I can't bear to watch when we up one with the other team with the ball or us down one in the final seconds with the ball. - -I hate those this old ticker can't take it lmao. - Can't have those with my new pacemaker lol- -maybe I need to call Coach Self and let him know lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@FarmerJayhawk I highly doubt they fire Snyder before the KU game, it maybe a similar deal as to Beatys where he announces he’s retiring at the end of the season. I’m also not here any of this chatter from some KSU guys ik. Will be interesting to see what happens.

No , I agree -- I don't think that would ever happen. Gives Snyder that chance and the K-State fan base one last time for Snyder to best KU. - You know with the situation going on there that pace will be insane. Their players will be all jacked up to win against instate rival for Snyder for sure. - Now if this to played at KU I think we would have a lot better chance. Not saying we don't have a chance but just not as good. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks That for sure is almost 100 from what I've heard--- there are some that want all the of them gone are all gone - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Check the kid that was just offered by Hull. Lowell Narcisse. He was an LSU commit when Miles was still there. Les liked him a lot, but when Les was fired LSU moved on, and he ended up in JUCO.

wait buddy how long has Les been removed from LSU ? -so this kid would have any eligibility left? - -Tony is recruiting him? -didn't get to see on video on him

Les was at LSU in 2016. That kid is just a FR, has 3 years left.

@BShark Supposedly Littrels agent was in Methattan last week. Also heard that he is waiting on Riley @ OU to make the NFL jump in the next few years before going elsewhere. I still question if KSU has the guts to stand up to Snyder. There is always a ton of rumors floating around on boards this time of year, its tough to know what all is fact and fiction.

They will cave. - - Snyder want s Sean to take over his spot- - -this is part of the reason things are crumbling- -Bill's being so bull headed - -quite frankly - -today's football has past him by.

Here again him refusing to change - he is still back in the days of Osborne - -wanting to run Literally run like 3 runs and a cloud of dust - he is not keeping up with todays football - has a lot of fans upset
