Here's Clipper Cole and the New Laker Point Guard. Get use to the Red Carpet. Make sure you keep your tooth in when you meet Olivia.

ROYALS vs Cleveland game 2 • Jul 29, 2015 12:24 PM

JoJo White and Kirk should be there.

@drgnslayr

@jaybate-1.0 "disputatious!" I definitely need to use that tomorrow.

@HighEliteMajor Didn't know he had done that.

I GUESS DEVONTE IS WELL? • Jul 25, 2015 11:14 PM

This showed up in my Bleacher Report notification.

@HighEliteMajor Self said that he asked him about being dealt a bad hand and Cliff said, " Coach that' s what you told me" Self related that story to the press.

@JayHawkFanToo "and his subsequent comments about the program left a sour taste in the mouth of most fans"

He was echoing Self's words.

I'd like to watch a practice to see if Sheick can rebound and pass it to the Czech so that next year in the NBA they'll both be able to cash a big check. Can Sheik check the Czech?

Frank Mason going Pro • Jul 23, 2015 09:28 PM

Forget Fox, lock up Mr. Eudora.

In my mind, Frank has surpassed Sherron in this category. I can't think of anyone else besides Frank to run this play.

Since the days of Sherron, our last 15 second ISO play has been a four corner clear out for The best driver and dish artist. In the Double overtime championship game it was used at the end of the game and in the first overtime. The play is very simple and very beautiful with unlimited number of options directed by Frank. At the end of the first overtime Frank does what Sherron used to do most of the time and take it to the rack to score.

Stefan Pot of Serbia should be first team instead of the German.

Perry Ellis • Jul 22, 2015 03:25 PM

We have seen him off the court as one of the best all-time representatives of the school. He is an intellect and a caring person. Last year before his injury, he was tearing up the League and was easily going to be Player of the year. He had a drive he had never had before. He no longer gets down on himself and continues to shoot. After his one handed fast break dunk last year, he even smiled and we all saw how much he enjoys playing the game. I forget the game, but he was being mauled by some slower guy, a whistle was called and Perry got in his face, he didn't say anything, but he went on to humiliate the guy.

Unfortunately, his new beard doesn't make him look tougher, it just makes him look like a farmer named Ezekiel from the Amish community in the next county.

Early Predictions for KU NonConf 2015-16 • Jul 22, 2015 03:16 PM

@konkeyDong -Best post this year. Much better than the Tea Party rants. Pure basketball post. Others are offering their insights rather than attacking anything you have printed. Precise and knowledgeable. Again, excellent job.

A BANNER HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS? • Jul 14, 2015 10:45 PM

A BANNER HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS? • Jul 14, 2015 10:43 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Instead of team, I probably should have said "University." I didn't mean to imply that he played for Frank McGuire in 1957.

Self's Priority At WUG • Jul 14, 2015 10:39 PM

Serbia had better guards than Frank and Devonte will face this year. Huggy will still have his press but after last year's last second loss at WV and Lucas's block at the Field House, these Jayhawks will be smiling if someone wants to press. I've seen more outlet passes during these 8 games than we had the entire season. Hudy should have a medal after playing Russia and Germany back to back. Even the NCAA tournament gives you a day off between games.

A BANNER HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS? • Jul 14, 2015 06:44 PM

I look at this as the REVENGE OF WILT. The coach for Germany was a Tar Heel from the same team that beat Wilt's Jayhawks in three overtimes. This time the Jayhawks won and it only took them 2 overtimes.

A BANNER HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS? • Jul 14, 2015 01:00 PM

Every time something like this has happened http://cjonline.com/sports/hawkzone/2015-07-13/ku-basketball-team-be-welcomed-home-wednesday-after-world-university, ↗ it usually meant that a banner was going to be hung in the rafters. When we lost to Kentucky in the National Championship we hung a final four banner. We have won so many Conference Championships that we just list the year, other wise we would have to make the banners smaller. Other teams put up a banner if they make it to NCAA tournament (K State). Thousands of people will show up to welcome them home. BUT! This was a win for the USA. We had to cover up our name and sew USA over KANSAS. We should have been USA to start with but KU + Nic and Julian won the World Games. Should or should we not commemorate this somehow on the ceiling of Allen Field House. 7 Jayhawks won a Gold Medal at the Olympics. The remembrance was on the back of the USA Jerseys we wore in Korea. ,Suggestions?

The beginning of the End? • Jul 13, 2015 07:30 PM

@HighEliteMajor I think that the new clock has turned Self into a coach that knows that players who can create their own shot will be the ones on the court. That being said, Greene would be the one that will have to put in the work to get the minutes. Bad Ball will have to be the offense of the past. It worked last year because nothing else did. By the way, It must have done your heart good to see that no one was yanked for shooting a three and that we were taking those threes at the end of the game. I agree with you that they should not have gone to Perry in the 4th Quarter when he had nothing left, but Perry should have dished more because of his exhaustion. There is no time to try and get the ball to the third side for the high/low unless we hurry to get the ball across half court. Stay happy this year.

The Smiling photo of the team with Mason checking to see if it was real gold is fantastic. My new screen saver. Who is the young girl on the podium with them? Devonte has a medal! Good. Self with his arm around Tyler with huge smiles. A Father/Son moment for the ages.

Bragg and Vick - Welcome to the team.

Hunter and Landon - Welcome to the team.

Frank Mason - I would not trade him for any other NCAA Guard in the country.

Wayne Selden - Welcome to the NBA.

Perry Ellis - Thank you for playing your heart out, even though you are double and tripled teamed on every play. You reached deep to help get the gold, even when your shot wasn't falling and no air left in your lungs. You will still be our leading scorer this year.

Jamari - Thank you for subbing during crunch time when you do what you do best in guarding the outside big men.

Nic and Julian - Thank you for leaving your two great coaches to become Jayhawks. We could not have won this without either of you.

Tyler and Evan - Thank you for coming in and playing more minutes than you've played in a long time and allowing Frank, Wayne and Perry to sit for the fourth quarter against the Swiss.

Bill Self - Thank you for being the best coach in the country for your ability to adjust on the fly and create an incredible bonding experience for these young men.

Snacks - Thank you for playing the piano.
