  @Crimsonorblue22 I try to get them to slip occasionally BUT mostly they give textbook answers to questions like that. I do get some things like the excitement about their new in house court, match ups between some of the guys but nothing mind blowing lol. I am don’t messaging them until next week now because I don’t want to keep them from being awesome!

  @drgnslayr Part of me can laugh at the above. Another part recalls the following. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas

  @Texas-Hawk-10 I lived in the Towers when they were still private and at the time they were consider very nice. I understand that after the remodel they were even nicer and much better than those in other schools. I am not surprised Perry did not have a problem with them. I understand that the new digs run about 10K per year…

  @jaybate-1.0 Speaking of Madonna and your “street angel Fluevogs,” word is that Sir Charles B. inherited a pair of “courtworthy Fluevogs” from another colorful former NBA all-star who was mentored by Madonna. Now Barkley can, without dropping pounds or ounces, dunk with the likes of Manute Bol. Winna winna, chicken dinna!

  @REHawk Way to go, Coach. Way to punch a hole in that cheek with a well placed tongue. Still and all, over thinking in thinking is always better than under thinking, because u can correct overthinking before you act. You discover you thought too much by definition by thinking too much. Under thinking always leads to acting without knowing you didn’t think enough to discover what you didn’t know you didn’t know. Of course in an ideal world we would neither think too much, nor too little, but just the right amount! Would that we thought in an ideal world.

  @Crimsonorblue22 I didn’t really ask if they liked doing the dancing and skits? I did ask one of the guys that took multiple visits if late night was a better experience than a visit alone during a game and he answered late night is by far better.

  The only player that KU’s lost out on so far that’s been frustrating was Ferguson. Lightfoot is supposed to commit next week, Bolden’s decision ahould be coming soon. KU hasn’t been considered a serious option for any of the other high profile recruits that have committed yet. That said, Jerrance Howard needs to go. He’s a liability for KU at this point and I think Self brought in Aaron Miles this year to groom him to replace Howard after this season. I know Miles has said he plans on trying to go back to international ball after this year, but Self can pay Miles more and while having one of KU’s all time PG’s who truly understands Self’s system teaching it to the current generation. And Miles doesn’t have an attempted cover up of a drug arrest on his record unlike Snacks.

  The article I posted from KUsports was quite critical of his attitude.

  “Chab” (Sir Charles Barkley) was the same height as Wayne, but played 20+ lbs heavier. He played the 4 and dominated. For Wayne, it is all about the “size of the fight in the dog.”

  I’m guessing they are limited on bringing in “lady guests?” What a pity…

  Having Aaron Miles on that bench will make us better, whatever he will be able to do for the team. He is the Kansas all-time assist leader, two time all big 12, two consecutive Final Fours. Have lunch with the guards every day.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 Typically I would agree with you, because most 9th men in college have zero NBA caliber skills. Brannen Greene is an exception because he has one NBA caliber skill. The uniqueness of his NBA caliber skill is that Greene has the ability not just to be an above average perimeter shooter in the NBA, but to be an elite level one. That matters. Darion Atkins (University of Virginia) never played more than 16 minutes a game until he was a senior. As a senior he averaged just 7.6 ppg and just 6 rpg. He’s currently getting a shot with the Knicks. He’s got the potential to be an elite level defender. NBA people are hoping he develops a solid shooting touch. He’s basically the opposite of BG, with NBA people hoping he can become a player similar to Draymond Greene as a multipositional defensive wiz and matchup nightmare. Greene is 6-7, athletic and a tremendous shooter. That will get him more than a passing glance from NBA people. Greene will get his chance. He may not capitalize on it, but he will get the chance.

  @jaybate-1.0 Does the line between the snake and the text represent the bench? Looks like you have Bragg, Vick and Svi pretty close to the line…
