FBI...here we go • Oct 24, 2018 08:08 PM

@BShark OK, so bud - -now it seems like these guy's were found guilty right? - - just came on board and reading some comments. - -Sooo now my question is , we know that Coach Self is sitting Silvio -we know Coach said that until this was cleared up Coach will be holding Silvio out, Coach stated that they had been in contact/talking to the NCAA - -So my question now becomes:

They NOT the NCAA but these guys will be givin their sentence on like March 5th is what I thought I saw - - - So we sit Silvio till the NCAA is done with whatever now right? - -- So if it takes for them the entire season is done - - I mean Silvio sits until a decision is made I got that -- BUT - - - Could we red shirt Silvio this year while we wait OR does Silvio just transfer - -which that wouldn't make ANY sense - -still wouldn't be able to play - -OR - - does Silvio leave and try to start on working out individually and try to enter next years NBA draft - - - where do we go what does Silvio do from here? what do you all think? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Woodrow @jayballer73 A guilty verdict might insulate our people from criminal prosecution by the feds. But the government theory of the case, regardless of whether the jury buys it, has no effect whatsoever on the NCAA bringing any case it wants to.

Oh ok, see I get confused on which would help us the most. - -Thanks

FBI...here we go • Oct 24, 2018 01:13 PM

So sitting here thinking - - I know that's scary lol anyways in this FBI trial I'm thinking we would want a Guilty verdict brought back on this right? - - -This would be the better scenario for us then not guilty right? - -Cause guilty would indicate that the Universities would be the victim - - -that's what we need correct?

Who's calling the plays? • Oct 24, 2018 01:00 PM

@kjayhawks

Ya it sounds like the kid is in some trouble , sounds like he worked the woman over pretty good - -dragging her across the complex lot something like that with her screaming , kicking and such. I seen him last Saturday - well actually have seen him form a couple of games this year, pretty dam fast. Like you say though isn't gonna matter.

Our offense can't do squat and the defense will wear down from having to be on the field for 75% of the game- - sad

HEY HEY HEY -found out TCU starting QB Shawn Robinson is out for the season gonna have some kind of shoulder surgery - -has had this from sometime back he played last week but got replaced after the 3rd series - - Collins will be making his 1st start. - -This kid is not the starter? - -looked pretty good to me plus others - -now I'm not trying to wish bad luck or hoping they get injured but just saying.Then on top of that Kavantae Turpin has been suspended for Assault on his girlfriend and won't play - - -the guy is a stud - -so what all this means is - - we only get beat by 21 instead of 40 - - we have NO OFFENSE. - - Maybe the 50,000 empty seats can intimidate them enough we can kick a couple of field goals lol

You know just from reading what I've seen IF he holds a lot of stock in his own words , then I STILL think in the end JRE ends up here at KU. OK maybe some truth that Villanova makes that push or is - - yet as of this point still just 2 CB'S for them. I think the North Carolina talk has cooled some, although their fans are still bowing or trying to blow smoke up their own ass.

Their saying because of this FBI thing that there is NO WAY JRE can possibly end up at KU - - -saying FOR sure the NCAA is headed to Lawrence - -just no way he still comes here.

Yet I think like I said if JRE holds any truth to his words - -if he had ANY sincerity to them then he will be here bottom line.

I can't remember if it was 247 or Rivals caught up with him and talked about his recruitment and he was saying how cool it would be to play where his dad had played, that he knew how crazy the KU fans are thought that was cool. - - Talked about Mama going to KU I think - -talked about how neat it would be close enough he could be close to his friends and they would be able to come to some games. -To me - -if you add all these things up - -I spite of other things - -he still come to be a KU Jayhawk when it's all said and done.-- I have heard people - -again on the NC board they wer talking about how they were worried that in the end Mama would play to much of a role in this, I just think there are still to many factors in our favor -- I think JRE wants to make MaMa happy too. - -we shall see - - I don't see ANY FAT LADY warming her voice up - -hell I don't even see any fat lady in the building - - -- you got to believe my friends stay strong - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ya I had thought that this would take longer to play out.- - Now that the this is in the hands of the jury , we should know something soon. - I think it is going quicker then in some thought.
I think once this is over then I truly believe that the NCAA won't take long before they do whatever they are going to do -- OF anything , which I believe there will be SOMETHING - - but -I think NCAA people probably already gained a lot of information they would need right from this trial without researching for a lot more. - -I think this trial brought out a lot of what they would be looking for.

Now it's just a matter of what the verdict comes back as for them to pretty much decide what THEIR gonna do, - I'm feeling more that we won't be hit THAT hard. -- kind of agree about Silvio - might be a few more then what you think possibly - -not sure 100% - -we shall see - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Found this interesting , not sure how much of this has already been mentioned but. - Read an article talking about the names of Coach's that Long has been following on Twitter. They are:

Head Coach's , - - - - Dave Clawson ( Wake Forest ) - - - - - - Dave Doeren, ( NC State )- - - - - - Jim Harbaugh ( Michigan )- - - - - - Lane Kiffen ( Florida Atlantic )- - - - - - Seth Littrell ( North Texas )- - - - - - Then they talk about another pretty solid Coach one that hadn't been thought of or mentioned they said and that was - - - - Jeff Tedford ( Fresno State ) -- AD Long has been following him also.

Then a Couple of ass't Coach's- - - - Jim Leavitt ( Oregon's def Cordinator )- - - - - - & then Chip Long ( Norte Dame )

So again don't know how many of these have been talked about but just throwing these guys out for what it's worth - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I actually agree. I think KSU is getting way too much pub from there crazy easy Elite 8 run. If anything, they finish 2nd because the rest of the league is weak. But they were clearly just the 4th best team last year. KU, TTU, and WVU swept them last season. They played a crazy easy non-con schedule and still lost double-digit games.

If I were to bet money on it, they lose double digit games again. Bruce has had double digit loss seasons in 14 of 20 years. He's lost double digit games 5 consecutive years, and 11 of the last 12 years.

Don't be fooled.
Tsjts

I don't have a problem with them being a top 25 team BUT 12? -- 12 ? - - - Not buying it - -I'd be selling that for sure. You mention you could see them losing double digits this year? - - I could see that - -yet I can't say their non con is overly tough to say the least. -- Let"s look: - - -They have Denver ( W ) ---Leigh ( W ) - --Georgia St ( W )-- USM Golden Eagles ( W )- - Vanderbilt ( if this were at Vanderbilt no question L ) but at Cow palace I'd Still have to say ? ) - - -George Mason ( W ) again if it was there then I would say ? ) - - - - Then we have the road all I see is 3 games non-con - - Marquette ( L 100 % L ) -- - UTEP - ( ? -could go either way ) - - - Tulsa -( W )

Then conference - - West Virginia @ WV - -- ( L ) - - -Iowa State @ Iowa State -- ( L ) - -- Texas Tech @ Tech - - ( Thinking very probable L ) - --- -KU @ KU - - ( L ) ------- -TCU --@ TCU - - ( L ) - - so just a 1st glance I'm seeing pretty probable -- so right there I feel for sure 6 losses another possible 2 - -Then that's not counting any possibly Big12games at home that they could lose - -which could very easily be KU -- & WV. - - So ya agree they very easily could lose double digits - - Again they gonna have to prove to me - -- - -they got what it takes again THIS year , I'm just think last year they pulled it out their ass - - I'm not buying it. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG

KSU lost to Loyola last year in the tourney who has a 95 year old nun playing for them! They're garbage! They're silo tech. They couldn't beat the Haskell JV team, heck they probably couldn't beat the Topeka Y.

Actually @jayballer73 I gots to go with the rest of the brethren here and disagree. KSU is gonna be a nice team this year. They return a lot of experience. I'm looking forward to those games. They should be fun.

Hey it's ok man -- everyone has a right to an opinion - -just don't have to agree. - -I stick with mine - -again I'm just not seeing it I just think they has a wonder year the perfect scenario for them last year.

I think well pretty much know if K-State played Kentucky again same squads as last year even WITH WADE Kentucky would win 4-5 from them - yet I ain't hatin for people who think they are legit it's all good. - -Everyone is entitled, yet my closing statement is - - - NOPE - - NOPE - -NOPE lol. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark I agree JRE is a very good player for sure and really want him BUT I just never really considered him as a OAD - - do you believe that he is? - -maybe I'm missing something. I have looked at him as probably 2 even possibly 3 but more like 2.

I for sure would be just as happy with Zeke.- -- -In all seriousness if Coach could only see talent that is right under his nose he would have a STAR studded player on his roster. - -All he has to do is call me - I think I have a couple of years of eligibility left to use. - I would ROCK the house roflmao -- rock chalk all day long baby

@BShark

All the prospects know exactly how recruiting works so I don’t believe the current situation will scare them away. Actually, they probably know more about who is getting paid and who is doing the paying than the coaching staffs do.

I have to agree with you to a point anyways - -these guys probably do know how things work BUT the only thing I belive is that when it is a tight race in the recruiting battle that things such as what is going on right now MIGHT be just enough to lure them away from us to another school. Exp - - JRE/Villanova/N Carolina.

We all know that these other schools will be and are using this as a major recruiting tool talking really negative about us with this- -we have seen it happen. All you have to do is look at the Langford recruitment - -which took a turn for the karma route with daddy talking his shit and - - Surprise look who's name gets brought up even in the slightest of ways. Daddy making remarks as he did if I remember right, can't remember exactly what he said but he was talking trash on the KU program and then BAM - -just afraid when it's a tight call things like this are not good - that's why I believe it very well could cause them to go the other way. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

NBA Starts Tonight • Oct 21, 2018 01:54 PM

Well our boys had pretty solid night last night in their games , with Jo Jo leading the way of course. They had the following:

Jo Jo - - -32 points - - -10 rebounds - - & 3-5 from the 3 point line I would say pretty solid.

Marcus -- - - - 16 points - - -6 rebounds - - - -& 2-5 - - from the 3 point line

Wiggins -- - -- 19 points ---- - -3 rebounds -- - -& 2-4 from the 3 point line

Here is one thing , I have read and heard that some feel Wiggins has been a bust in the NBA. They were discussing this when they were also talking about a player - -can't remember his name that wa either holding out that played for Minnesota or he was wanted to be traded - - was wanting more money I believe. Anyways there were some that said they believed Wiggins was a bust but that Minnesota would not trade him , they were talking about him in this discussion.

So I guess my question is do you think Wiggins is a bust? - - I'm not sure if I would call him a bust but - - - -I do feel that he maybe hasn't played quite up to his hype - - - -I just think he ought to be able to rebound a little better - -and even score a little better I dunno what you all think?

Your exactly right his bull headiness is incredible - - Bender 17-40 with a pick--that's not cutting it. - -Thing is AFTER this year don't be surprised at all if Pooka doesn't transfer I'm tellin ya hide and watch. Beaty is the OC again now, you tell me WHY the hell when you have 1st and goal from the 3 you come out and THROW the ball on the 1st two downs of that series? Especially when Herbert and Pooka had some sweet runs. - -Someone please tell me why on our opening drive WHY after Pooka takes the 1st play from scrimmage runs for a 1st down or gets like 7-8 yards WHY does he not touch the ball again in that series? - -Mainwhile back at the ranch bender starts his awesome display of throwing by rattling off 7 straight incompletions.

@kjayhawks the defense played solid. -- I mean what do you expect when they keep giving the ball to the offense and we get NOTHING.

Our defense had 5 possible to's they got 2 back and our Defense recovered 3 -leading the nation with 22. - -the question is what has our offense done with those opportunities - -not squat I feel bad for the defense - Bender is sorry - -sorry.

The defense gives the ball to the offense inside the Tech 10 - -Bender Int. - - The defense take it away gives the offense the ball at the Tech 3 - - 1st and goal and can't get 3 yards - -3 points -- Tech takes over at the KU 36 - -comes away with zero points - -Defense gets a couple of sacks - -they don't deserve this. - -I mean hell when Tech runs at least 80 plays because our sorry offense you can't keep putting the Defense in bad position time after time they gonna tire out I mean come on Holy Crap But yet watch OL PEYTON will be out starting again - -a fricking joke

I don't give a dam. - -When your so called starting QB is 7-21 for 48 yards in a half? -this guy is sad - -spelt with a Capital S - and the incompletions weren't even close - all the back shoulder passes didn't have a chance. - All I keep hearing is how he is out of sync - off . If you have a QB that can't do any better then that --luck y he hasn't had a couple of these things picked off. - - you mean to tell me Kendricks or Carter can't do better then that- --don't waste your breathe cause I call BULL SHIT.

At least with either one of those guys they would at least have to respect the run more --with Bender he doesn't know how to run and these teams just laugh when he is in. - Can't run - -can't throw the ball worth a dam

The Defense has played well enough no way should this be the score at half. -they have given the offense ample opportunity , Beaty doesn't give a shit - -he is gone anyways. - Defense gives them the ball 1st and Goal at the 3 and we have to settle for a filed goal - -we turn it over inside the 5 there is 14 points right there. - -Then like they said on one of the legit drives Tech had - it wasn't that the defender wasn't in the right place it was a guy who is 6'1 --going against a 6'6 guy he just reached over him - great positioning just height. We have caused 3 to opportunities - -and we got 2 0f them - -this is not on the defense- -it our offense SUCKS if you wanna call it an offense

1) I think Self was probably pretty upfront with Long during the hiring process. Remember Self sought out Long for the AD job and met with him. I don't think this totally blindsided Long. Also Long was the AD at Arkansas. You don't think he knows the name of the game?? He was in charge of a SEC football team for crying out loud!

2) I was just talking to some people today that this has to be annoying / frustrating for Self and I absolutely think it could change his career path. I am still not convinced he is a NBA guy, but he has always said he doesn't want to coach forever I would think this ups the timeline on his retirement date.

Agree on the first one. Hope you are wrong about the 2nd but I could see it.

@jayballer73 Not sure what article you are talking about? I went to kusports and checked Tait's articles and didn't see this particular one. Checked his twitter as well. If you could post a link for me, that would be great.

sorry my friend I STILL haven't figured out how to share links. I know you all have tried to help me but I guess I'm just thick doesn't sink in , but gald you found it anyways. - So what DID YOU think about it - -I mean he does raise some valid points guy

your words about changing Coach Self's career is just what I was addressing and upping the timeline Matt Tait has a pretty solid piece on this check it out - -I have to agree with you - -only the thing I might differ on is he has mentioned about how he might would like to try and give the NBA a shot. - Like you say I think it just might change the timing of his timeline to what degree - -we just don't know

Read somewhere where a former NCAA guy that dealt with rules said actually doesn't think that in the end KU will get a whole lot handed to them. He said with as many big time schools 15-20 that is in this mess, he just doesn't think that the NCAA will do a lot- bottom line is do they REALLY wanna mess with what makes money for them? - If they were to penalize all these schools the NCAA tourney would take a major hit -it's just a dam mess

FBI...here we go • Oct 18, 2018 08:13 PM

Guys I know some of you -- a lot of you might not agree on this , and that's ok but I've thought about this and Matt Tait made some good points about this. He thoughts were and I've wondered on this at times but I'm kind of worried and whether you agree or not - whether you like it or not - -it is a possibility , I think if your a realist and look at it objectively you have to at least say it's always a possibility.

That is ,with this FBI/Basketball scandal just makes you wonder like Matt said does this increase the chance of Coach Self making decision to leave to experiment with the pro game - and or retirement?

Looking at it this way: - Coach Self has not denied that he might like to dabble into Coaching in the NBA. - there has always been SOME talk about when Coach Pop from the Spurs decides to hang it up - -THAT might be the one NBA team that Coach Self would have some serious interest in. he has some connections there , look at it this way we know recruiting gets really tiring - - -Coach has even talked about things such as that. - - - If you look at it like with the Scandal , the tireless recruiting just all the Bs you put up with the rules and recruitment this scandal just might be enough for him to just say the heck with it. - -Check out Matt's article in the LJW pretty good piece - -at least I think , think he makes a valid argument. He also said Coach Self has mentioned he doesn't really wanna Coach late in his 60's - Matt talks about he has pretty much ALREADY obtained what a lot of College Coach's inspire to have: - - He has won a National title , -He is already in the Hall of fame , he for sure isn't hurting for money - -just read the article guys - -I can't really put it like Matt did - just makes some solid points.

Ya sure Nobody want's it to happen - but like it or not - it IS a possibility - -maybe not immediately but just may have pushed up the time table on things - -check it out.

I wouldn't recommend teaching 8th graders in your condition. I have Coronary Artery Disease (medical term for blocked arteries) and wonder if a bunch of inner city 8th graders will do me in!

ya good luck with those those are the ultimate. - They did a scan of my corrated arties in my neck came back pretty good - -forgot to mention that they told me I also have a heart mermur and that I have some blood flowing the wrong way into my heart but said nothing serious - -lmao - -also another issue is I have severe narrowing of the spine and say that it is closing on my spinal cord but say it may never close completely or ever do any damage. - -ultimate worst case scenario - - deading of the nerves which as we all know that would not be good
