@Kcmatt7 I dont see KJ or Charlie hurting us much, Dedric will some depending on SDS's appeal.

@Woodrow Surprising figured he'd stay and be one of their man guys next year. Don't believe I've seen him on many draft boards.
@JAYHAWKFAN214 He will be if he graduates, he is supposedly on coarse to.
Jenkins is friends with DG I believe so I wouldn't be shocked to see him here. KJ's news is a little surprising from the stand point of him getting married this summer. I figured he'd be done with ball or stay. I guess he can be a grad transfer if he gets it done. I would also think that means Dedric is prob leaving as well.
I'm hearing from several outlets that Dixon is currently in talks with the bruins to become their next head coach. Kinda of surprising in many ways with TCU being his Alma mater and him never really getting his feet down with injuries. I think he's a good coach and it's a lost for the conference depending on if he actually goes and whom his replacement is, here is the espn link http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/26431639/sources-ucla-talks-tcu-dixon-job ā
Thoughts?
@Crimsonorblue22 My point exactly, dozen of people have told us this and my wife is a former teacher herself. But if they decide not to let us in, then there isn't much we can do. We have a doctors note and a family heath care advocate that are going to the next meeting to help. They all agree that going to an all day preschool will help him with development and is without question the best place for him. Now you see why I have little faith in people, any time in my life anyone has had the chance to screw me in some way, they have with no exceptions.
@Crimsonorblue22 They are only giving us a hard time at this point because they can. We have 2 small towns that make up one district that we currently live in. The next bigger town is its own district. We are being told because we live in that district we absolutely have to go there. The kicker is that there are 8 Kids within our block where we live that all go to the big district(grade school level). They tell us they just simply enrolled in the bigger district with no hoops to jump thru. Yes the highschool aged kids that have transferred have had to sit a semester fro sports. They are telling us living in one and going to another is not allowed, period. But it doesn't add up why we are the only family getting jazz for wanting more support for our kid.
@Crimsonorblue22 It's much them saying to us at this point "We don't want to deal with your kid, now GTFO". We can only fight so much before it worries me that we will win the battle then and I'll be worried for them to treat my kid poorly.
@Crimsonorblue22 What control does the school board have in my situation. Kid are allowed to switch districts in this area all the time for sports and they do it with no trouble. We would like my son to be at an all day preschool so he can get more assistance instead of 3 hours a day, 4 days a week. We have another meeting this month before our fate is sealed.
@Crimsonorblue22 Their making my kid disappear and the school board has had zero to do with at this point. You have too much faith in people friend.
@BShark My uncle has been a superintendent for 20 years, shit like that happens every where behind closed doors.
HAHA go home shockers.
WSU fans talking a ton of smack because their still playing lol. I ask them if anyone after the early 70s keeps track of NIT appearances or FFs.
@stoptheflop If we had Les Miles last season we go bowling IMO. I'm not sure we have the talent on both sides of the line to do that this season that's why I'm hoping for 4 wins. You have to have talent up front to win at this level, you really need to be able to go 2 deep and not drop off as well. It could be 2 or 3 years before we can get to that point.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I hope not but cant say that I remember much of his time at OSU and didnt really watch LSU.
@Kcmatt7 Shoot saying WTF 50 times a game would be an improvement from Beaty's clock management and play calls. No more lining up to go for on 4th and short to only call a timeout and punt. All while not even trying to draw them offsides.
@BShark Let's not go down that path, Damn it!!!
@HighEliteMajor I agree, that 2016 team really should've beat Nova and won the whole thing but Nova should've been a 1 seed not the 4th #2, they was ranked #1 late in the year. Still pisses me off that it wasn't a NC or FF game.
@HighEliteMajor remember having a better or more talented roster doesn't necessarily win games. Dook had a more talented roster than we did last year we just played better when it mattered and coach Self out coached K IMO. In regards in being preseason #1, I think that has happened at KU 3 times in history since the poll started. I believe that 06 team was unranked in the preseason and after getting spanked in Maui, a lot folks thought we were headed to the NIT. The 09 team was preseason ranked #24, 2012 was #13 so if you want to look at the preseason rankings as a tell tell, it doesn't support your cause much. We could argue about it all day because it is an opinion but I stand by my comment of not having the most talent most years.
@BShark I'd say 2013 is probably the last year we were "loaded" hard to consider a team with Landon Lucas starting to be uber talented (love LL but he likely wasn't a D1 caliber of player). I don't know that I've ever looked at a KU team and said this is hands down the most talented team in the country, maybe 07 or 08. Now we have had the talent and team to win titles but seldom the most talented team overall. It takes more than talent to win titles, coaching, experience, etc. Ask coach K lol, Duke was probably the most talented team in 2015, 2018 and 2019. UK has had the most talented team several times including 2011, 2012.
@HighEliteMajor Yes, I'm saying its harder to win a title at KU. KU hasn't had a top 5 starting line up all the years Self has been here close but no way 2006, 2009, 2012, 2018 or (maybe if we had everyone) 2019. Roy is a prime example of it being harder or maybe its dumb luck. KU doesn't get a fraction of the media coverage or get as near the top recruits that the ACC powers do.
@wissox I was listening to a radio show this morning and they were talking about how to judge a coach. They were talking about much the tournament was a blunder and the best team doesn't win it all that often and I agree. I thought it was 2 years running but its actually 3 that coach K has had the best class in basketball and hasn't even made a FF in that time. I always thought you don't have to have title to be considered the best of all time as a player but I think you need at least one to be considered the best coach. But how can we judge them accurately? It may not be possible, Wooden is the best in my mind because he turned UCLA into a power house from scratch. I believe they had all of 2 division titles in their history before he showed up and Haven't been relevant but about 7 years since his departure 40 some odd years ago. How can judge Self vs K or Roy? Roy has more titles but couldn't win as many games or any at Kansas while Self has. Coach K was average at Army posting a record barely over .500 before Dook and he was prob gonna get fired if they didn't do anything in 86. They were already considered a basketball school before K got there, they won 3 straight ACC titles and made the title game once in the 3 years leading up him. Obviously Self inherited a program here that had when to back to back final fours. Self has the best win percentage and conference titles of bunch . I agree that the ACC is better most years but Self also has a top 10 SOS year after year and doesn't get the recruits that either of the other 2. It maybe an impossible question to answer at this point.
@HighEliteMajor Roy and Bill are the ones in that bracket IMO.
Interesting stat I just read on Dook, Barrett who tried to be the hero is 0-9 in the last 2 minutes of the 3 games they lost with Zion in the line up. Zion has one shot attempt in those games. All other players have 3 shots combine, there it is @approxinfinity , proof of shit coaching. They have refused to call Zion for offensive fouls all year, give the guy the ball and tell him to go to the hole and they prob win that game or he's at the line to do so.
@dylans 4 top 10 recruits the last 2 years, Lost in Maui, lost in the E8 the last 2 years. The only thing they can claim is the ACC title from this season. hahaha
@approxinfinity Haha I don't think he is that's why I put arguably lol, that's just what people claim.
@HighEliteMajor couldnt agree more my friend, very well said. Taxation is theft, if I didnt pay taxes on literally everything, my wife could just stay home.
@dylans we are a different with a healthy doke and good vick no question.
I didn't have an issue with Hill, the other guys acted like Duke was up 20 the whole game and seemed to be cheering them on fairly hard. Oddly enough I enjoy Bilas and Jay Williams, I think they call it as it is. I cant stand Greenberg or Fran. Overall the tournament commentors are light years above ESPNs IMO.
@dylans shades of what could've been for us as a healthy team.
@wissox overall the refs weren't terrible, Dook shot 13 fts to MSUs 6. Zion got away with a couple pushes in the back and a few charges as per usual. But as I said earlier damn tough to play a half with a guy as physical as Zion with only 3 team fouls.
It wouldn't have been a contest had Dook played thru Zion more. The past 3 chances they had, he didnt touch it. When you have a guy the refs refuse to call offensive fouls on and is that big/talented. Just give it to him and take it to the rack. They never played thru him enough IMO all year. Dedric got touches nearly every trip for us this year because that all we had. If Zion was in the same boat he may have been a 30 and 15 a night guy.
And of coarse right below the final score on ESPN is "take aways from Duke loss to MSU" lmao cant make this shit up.
@BShark Yep KU should've been a 3 and WSU a 5. WSU also bad way more experience and we was down Alexander.
@BShark I was saying in general not necessarily this season. But yes I agree
People want to give KU jazz for choking. This dook team may get 4 guys in the lottery this summer and has arguably the best coach ever.
Yes!! And all of those no calls hurt Dook. They would've had a chance if they didnt need to foul 3 times.
A lot arm on that last MSU shot, damn tough to play a half of basketball with only 3 fouls with how much Zion bodies folks on both sides
Zion fouls the hell outta everyone on the offensive glass.
Dook as been uber lucky the last 2 times out, I think they lose a close one or win by 20 no in between.
If I was a UK fan, I'd be pissed. They obviously paid those refs good good money.
UK in the bonus with nearly 13 minutes to go in regulation, Auburn 55 seconds to go in OT finally gets there.
Anyone ever seen a coach get 2 warnings without a T for being on the floor? Officials setting records for UK today.
@BShark yep the refs favor us supposedly but we never get the friendly touch fouls and dont get to repeatedly hit shooters on the arm with no calls.
this Auburn uk game maybe the worst officiated game I've seen in several years.
Looks like the the refs ain't gonna let UK lose this one.
@stoptheflop the offensive line is the area we need the most improvement IMO.
@dylans it's okay we still love you lol
