What the hells wrong with Vick and Cunliffe? Sam looks clueless, he acts like he just showed up to the picture and held up his fingers.
Vick looks like he's counting his fingers...he doesn't know if he's got 4 fingers or what, or maybe he forgot how many fingers to hold up during this picture.
Dang, LMAO
Romeo Langford reading material
Congrats guys on a great year, but a great 4 yr run in the classroom as well.
Enjoy and have fun

We've been short on depth all year.
Devonte plays almost 40 minutes per game.
Yet... we look a lot fresher than most of the teams we play.
How come?
A huge part of that surely must come from the efforts of Andrea Hudy. She is the training mom of all our guys and even travels with our team on the road.
Coach Self has mentioned a new strategy of carefully controlling our players' legs both on the court (practice) and off the court.
I'm willing to place a bet that Andrea has teamed up with Bill to coordinate this strategy of saving our guys' legs.
Can we really state that our Big 12 Conference Title #14 shouldn't be credited largely to the efforts of Andrea?
I don't think so!
So... here is a shout out to Andrea for everything she brings to our program! She deserves a ton of recognition (had to describe it in weight).
HUDY, HUDY, HUDY, HUDY
Miller's not coaching, but I'm confused at Emmert's latest comment. This gets more ridiculous by the article. Why would you launch a probe and then not look into or take some actions? Oh wait, it's about the money. Now we know what the F4 sponsors are doing right now.

Not happy it is Arizona but in some perverse way, I am delighted that Arizona and other programs are giving Yahoo, et. al. a big 'screw you'.
ohhhhhh...please remember all the recruits Zona signed at the final hour. I am very happy that his recruiting practices have been exposed.
Do you remember the bigs and pgs he took from KU?

ESPN's Mark Schlabach mentions on SportsCenter that Arizona told him that the program is standing by Sean Miller's statement in October claiming his innocence. - per UA message site.
Audacious and arrogance, WOW

Bridges will play today, the university and the NCAA have worked together for the last 24 hours and have deemed his situation not at risk potential retribution. That’s the fastest the NCAA has ever worked for a team not on the east and very interesting to say the least.
UK cleared Knox real quick too. :joy:
hahahahahahahahaha...this is a joke and why this is not going to be worth the time they spent finding this mess. They can't legally let MSU and Bridges off this easily. This simply means the KU findings prove to be a joke finding. They had to throw something out against KU.

Miller will not coach, no word on ayton yet
They have to bench him and at least show some type of actions against the allegations. But the damage is done, why not go ahead and play him?
Zach Smith, meet Silvio, and enjoy
Now the fallout begins. I hope this doesn't discourage Romeo Langford against KU and uses good judgement as he finalizes/ed his choice.

Bleacher Report is saying Jackson’s mom was getting significant amounts of money from UA and Adidas.
About 2/3 of the down.
Thoughts?
I think these 'agents' are a bunch of aspiring wanna bees that sent out emails to look good. They threw around JJ's name and even his mom, but she accepted nothing from the agents, nor did she claim anything with Adidas. As some have said, she works the AAU circuit and was the mother of a top recruit. She didn't play their game, but their 'emails' are empty. They went no where. Unless they can produce some proof of payment, she didn't accept squat.
It sounds like they made up the emails in question. It sounds like she didn't play their game. Now, these emails are simply emails. I'd like to see if they have anything with her responding, or accepting any offers from the agent or even Adidas.
They claimed to advance $1700 before JJ signed with KU. But I never saw a balance of $1000 for the alleged $2700. They even mentioned in their emails that she was working the AAU and that some other figure was involved. But that Adidas was "taking good care of her." She denies having anything to do with Adidas.
She denies even knowing the agent making the claims. She does know Christian from the AAU circuit, but did nothing with them. This sounds like a dead end and unless they can prove Apples accepted anything, check or money order, draft; They don't have squat. She knows that world and doubt she would jeopardize her son's career.
That turf toe type injury is bothersome, and horrible to play through as Beard kept saying during his interview. He won't hurt it, but can play through it. Which lends to Evans' dedication on the court.
I almost forgot, Beard was an assistant to Huggy. Whoa Nellie
TT loses in Motown.
@wissox Maybe they'll issue ankle monitors?
BIG TIME, MAJORLY SCREWED...He can't sweat his way out of this coaches box.
Yeah, we need to get focused on the game. I'm sure they will make this mess a point of interest at some point during interviews. I hope if Holly Rowe is on the floor, she refrains from asking Self any questions about this crap.
Self has commented all he knows and frankly, nothing on KU at this time. If the whole Apples $2700 thing is all they've got, it's moot.
Why doesn't Yahoo find out about Bagley. He's like Waldo. Where is Marvin Bagley? Inquiring minds want to know. Now all we need is the National Enquirer and Jerry Springer interviewing the agents, with the coaches. We'd have an all out knock down drag out show.
How about BAD BOYS OF THE NCAA..."Bad boys, bad boys...whatcha gonna do when they come for you, bad boys bad boys..."
(
We know what Sean Miller does when they come for him after offering players $100,000 to play for Zona.
(
Speaking of the tourney. Can you imagine what tv sponsors are doing right now?
I have a problem keeping a straight face when I read Yahoo and Federal documents in the same sentence. Seriously, when did Yahoo become a credible legal watch dog?
@mayjay Let players fabricate what they will. The truth will come out in an investigation. You can't make this crap up on the fly. This is a nasty mess. As a bball fan, I'm saddened.
Report: FBI Wiretaps Show Sean Miller Discussed $100k Payment for Ayton's Commitment
Sean Miller is a tool. No wonder we missed on Ayton. We didn't offer him $100,000. This is absolutely unacceptable. This is the type of crap that needs the death penalty, loss of scholarships, and loss of coaching position.
I think this presents a Clear and Present Danger to NCAA basketball...this just about sums it up...
Here's what should be done.
Who had violations?
What were the extents of those violations?
How old were the violations?
Were the violations discovered and reported by the respected programs?
Also, how many players and over what amount of time should be reviewed in the investigations? Was it directly related to a program? Before signing? Or after they left the program?
What amounts were accepted? Unfortunately if it was over $200, it's a violation.
I don't understand why the FBI doesn't take it up with these greedy azz agents only. But like Pitino, I find it hard to believe these head coaches don't know about these issues. I think the majority DO.
I am surprised that Izzo failed to catch Bridges, but I don't want my objectivity clouded by my 'respect' for him as a coach. But if this is the only recruit, with Izzo, I could see some type of allowance.
Mark Emmert ordered this investigation, it wouldn't surprise me if the NCAA says, thank you and turns a blind eye. I think this was an objective exercise for the NCAA. I do believe the coaches involved and the agents should be charged with criminal activity.
Don't punish the kids.
haha...Roy says he 'ain't' worried at all. Dook says nothing here.
Then KU has NOTHING.
Oh...Hey Coach K, what happened to Bagley. Naw, no impermissible issues at Dook, smh.
The really sad reality is these vultures circle these players and their families, knowing they need money.
That's a kick azz shredder. Where can I get one.
@BShark Columbia, Misery is all that is in Misery.
So I read a little further and they found Apple Jones, JJ's mom, took a whopping $2,700. This was due to the car damage incident as a result of the little trouble maker and her daddy that went after Vick and Josh. Wow...This was all known, and Josh did some sitting if I remember correctly. Also, I thought there was a payback of that money. I wish they would dig deeper rather than going on what is already known.
This is getting ludicrous and ridiculous all at the same, and laughable.
I guarantee you if this is as bad as it appears, the NCAA will handle this diplomatically for the sake of the game. This is long overdue, but it appears the OTHER programs had current and just recent players on the list, ie. dook, uk, usc, unc, ncst, scarolina, wsu (Marcia)?....
It seems some KU board rats are slightly intrigued by the possibility of KU being 'indicted.' I wonder why Wiggins has been SO SO SO quiet. I don't hear much from him. Also we recruited and signed our current or incoming class the old fashioned way. It seems we earned them. I think we are seeing a little more clearly why Billy P and his mom made their choice. I have a bad feeling she accepted money and that car had something to do with it. But thankfully he never played and violated any rules.
Has KU dodged the proverbial bullet?
KU is the only team that was willing to keep players out with any smoke. How in the hell can KU even be mentioned after the players we have sat out each season. This is a joke. It's a witch hunt and the so-called list is simply a way to show that all major programs were investigated. It does NOT surprise me at all that KU was in fact investigated, makes absolute perfect sense. So it appears that past players that graduated received money? Unless they can name recruiting violations and that KU knowingly allowed a player to play, this shouldn't be a problem.
All the blue bloods were investigated, but only investigated, or audited. Let's see if they find something in the mess KU's compliance dept already investigated. Why do you all think Billy P never played? There was smoke and we never played him. They have jack on KU. Pat Forde is an idiot because he actually defeated his own theory by naming all the players that were mentioned. They were all investigated and the NCAA even cleared them, IF they played.
Also, if KU was HOT, they would've dropped the hammer already.
In a great position to win illusive #14
Huggins deserves this and his arrogance blinds him. Also, he will defend his style of play fouls be damned. Sad...I used to respect him
I have one last post tonight...

Boy if Silvio can keep playing like this....
Self just uncaged the beast, and he's hungry.
Ok, who says TT goes down against WVU?
I DO
John Travolta says it best about KU's play tonight...

I've tried to follow Romeo's recruiting news. The latest is most think IU is out. I thought that a LONG time ago. They are just now realizing that if he was going to choose IU, he would have done so. I agree. He's not going to IU.
Now it's down to Vandy and KU. He wants to play for good players. Well, Vandy has two good frosh players coming in and that's good, but they aren't proven and neither is their coach...Drew? At any rate, Romeo wants to WIN championships. I don't understand why the "experts" were so hell bent on him going to IU and Vandy. The kid will come in and play with Dotson, Grimes, Garrett, DeSousa, and Big Dave. We have a HOF coach, and we are right behind our 14th consecutive conference championship.
Now, will someone tell me, please...why would he go to Vandy?
Consider the source. He's not worth your finger strength. Fran knows sucking. Now why isn't he coaching? Oh...right, he is a big time bball analyst.
DOJO...haha Doke and Josh
I think Svi just asked Holly for something to eat, and from the look on her face, the position of the hand doesn't look to favorable for Svi. Walk away from the table Svi, walk away.
Let's pretend and say this didn't happen. That 1 seed again, geesh.
You know what? I would never wish a player hurt at all, and I wish Evans nothing but the best, REALLY.
However, we've been playing without our highly touted 5-star McDs AA all year. I know KU doesn't struggle as much with Billy P. I think you see what this TT team can do without Evans. Let's see if they are capable of playing without their star player.
To me, the mark of a good team is how they do without their star player. It's a bit of an orange and apple to compare Evans and Preston. My point isn't position, but a player that makes a difference. If they were to lose one of their bigs inside, Odiase or the other big fella, I often wonder how they would do.
So my master plan is almost complete. I had us taking WVU and TT going down in Wacko.
I have TT losing in Motown.
TT has OSU in Stillwater...the POKIES should be tough.
TT has KU in Lubbock.
They end with TCU in Lubbock. I'd like to see TCU win for good measure.
My realistic hope is that KU wins against OU, TT, and UT. The OSU game shouldn't be an issue.
OR
KU wins against OU, UT, and OSU. The TT game won't be an issue.
I prefer KU wins out 4-0.
100 ? Whoa...We should know after the first 10:00 how this game is going to end.
If KU gets hot early, we very well may hang the century mark.
However, you know it's a long night if there are clinkers, aka, BRICKS
I'd like to see if Self will play Young straight up, mix-up, or speed him up...
I'd like to see some box in 1, maybe some zone, and some man...If that Manek gets hot or James decides to show, it's going to be a challenge. We may get some diamond in 2.
Manek is a poor man's Wade. I'd put Meeotch on him. Laten is a lot like Sagaba. I'd like to see Doke play smart disciplined D and shut him down.
Bottom line: If OU's long ball isn't falling tonight folks, KU will have a good night. I hope KU drives it down OU's throat all night long. They need to go all Lionel Richie...Naismith Drive through Massachusetts Street...
The board will have to let me know how many times Vitale mentions dook and coach k during his gab session. I don't plan to listen to him gush about dook.
There are 40 mins in game and I will estimate at least once a minute. I can't imagine sitting next to him during a game. I would have to stab myself in the ear.
Here is how I feel when listening to Dickie V.
