This will pump you up for the first game against Canada two weeks from now.
@jaybate-1.0 I can see that it takes a whole lot more than what he's made to live comfortably in Lawrence.
Bill Self's salary buys this...
Sasha might find a Dacha like this in Lawrence with his Rubles...
We have officially arrived. While walking in the Sprint, introduce yourself to your buddy wearing a Bucket Shirt. Wear your shirt at the Phogg. Wear it with a cold beer in front of the TV.
@JayHawkFanToo $50,0500,005,00?:euro: :frog: :tired_face:
@RedRooster typo $5,500,000. Tax free, plus a free home and car.
He just didn't enjoy it anymore. He did make over $550,000,000 during his time in Russia.
I hope he moves back to Lawrence with his beautiful Kansas wife and helps the Big men for Coach. He was High Point man on his team that just won the Russian Championship for the fourth straight year.

The Big 12 has just turned into a track meet.
With Shaka and Prohm, the Big 12 just got a lot faster. Add West Virginia and a shorter clock in the mix and then hope that our Adidas can hold up.
@jaybate-1.0 I know, time is running out on me.
@jaybate-1::hand:
Good luck to Bragg,Vick and Moore in learning the high/low.
@Statmachine The second and third paragraphs are very telling. We are probably going to see a lot of minutes when Devonte will be on the point with Frank playing the Two. This means that until Brannen gets healthy, Svi and Wayne will share the Wing.
Hunter has put on some muscle this off season and his height and rebounding ability will be needed in his last season. When he came here he was called a "poor man's Withey." Maybe that will be because it took him an extra year to achieve those kinds of results
It begins tomorrow. No Boot camp? Are we in physical shape? How do you prepare a team with rookies that have never been through a college practice? Will there be morning fundamentals? Noon work on Offense and evening work on Defense.? Individual position workouts? Conditioning, Running, Slides, Weight lifting... all of this in just 3 weeks to prepare for Countries which have assembled their best All-Star teams. Winning a medal, any medal will be one of the hardest things having only three weeks of practice. The returning players will be spotlighted and the 5 star rookies will be put into the line up to do specific things they have just recently learned. For all of you that think Self doesn't let your favorite bench player get enough time so that he can beat out the player you don't seem to like, enjoy this summer, because Self has said he will use this tournament to let everybody play, Every Body.
Is there any correlation?
Horn won't talk to ISU. Murray State coach is the big rage for offense now days.
Jaybate mentioned that Perry could take an academic scholarship. What a cool way to help the team.
I'm thinking that Hunter can be an important part of the team this year. Big men are a precious commodity in Basketball. We are a college team and most of the speculators are sounding like Pro GM's cancelling contracts. I agree with HEM that Mick is the best of the rebounders in the triumvirate of Lucas and Traylor. Knowing Coach Self, the best five will be on the court, which means we will start the year with Lucas or Traylor in the starting five. Bragg and Traylor will sub for Ellis while Lucas and Mick will rotate with Diallo.
Look what Hudy posted today on Instagram...
The game has come a long way. Imagine if Naismith were still alive to watch the final MU-KU game.

Feel free to a .caption to this picture
Cole, the Freshman, outplayed Hansbrough.
WUG, Summer practice, Hudy, give Vick a big edge for picking up in understanding what will be required of him on both Offense and Defense. Bonding with his new buddies in Korea will help everyone. Let him room with Tyler like Wiggins did.
@DanR Only the basketball and the bucket lets you know who it is.
Paschall Chukwu -What does Coach know that we don't? What happens when a footer visits a campus that has no scholarships available?
Lets cut the nets down four times this year.
@blackmild3 You finally got it right.
Or Wednesday night.
Two very good Big 12 players were part of that defeat.
Here's how the team composed of All Stars did against the Canadians the last time they played in the WUG in Russia.

βThis is really difficult for our guys because weβre basically an all-star team that has to become a national team in a very short period of time,β U.S. head coach Bob McKillop said. βTo be able to take full advantage of the abilities we have to develop some habits and theyβre just not accustomed to their roles. So theyβre adapting to all different roles. But they emptied their tank.β
Sad day in Mudville. Cyclones, we too know how it feels to loose a coach.

@drgnslayr I can remember his first suspension when we blamed him for a loss. What 5th year starter at KU can you remember as being a bust? Withey, Young, Releford, Teahan, E.J., Morningstar? I agree that his highlights have been spectacular and then he'll get into early foul trouble and disappear. Things became tough for him when he started to become a force and then good Big 12 Coaches started to Scout him. I think he will change your's and HEM's mind this year. I also think Lucas will push the new big boys for playing time, not because he is better, but because he knows the offense and defensive scheme's better than the rookies.
@Crimsonorblue22 I don't know. There must be a lot of paperwork involved, NCAA grade sanctioning, Summer school enrollment and numerous other hurdles. Practice begins in 7 days. I speculate if all of this can be accomplished. I guess I was answering for him. Another one of my moments.
@Crimsonorblue22 I'm too old to have to live anything down. Yesterday was like that movie "Still Alice." I'm always walking into a room and forgetting why I went into it. Anyway, If Vick doesn't announce, blackmild33 will be the one who won't be able to live it down.
Now it's Monday. Make it happen!!!
I honestly thought today was Monday. Its like the doctor telling the patient, I'm sorry but you have Cancer and Alzheimer's. The patient said, "Well, at least I don't have Cancer."
So Today is the day that we find out if Vick goes to Korea with the team?
@RockChalkin/topic/2746
@HighEliteMajor It sounds like you don't want Jamari to play at all. Does he owe you money or something?
So, it's the end of the week. Is today the day we here from Mister Vick?
