  @Crimsonorblue22 I suppose it is also only unfair to alert recruits that Coach Cal is reputedly leaving Kentucky and let them draw their own conclusions about what happens when Cal leaves a program without knowing about what happened. Ah, I wish I were young again and could go to University of Tulsa and get a cyber spying degree with a major in psy-ops and then role out as an embedded KU asset working for some outfit like ESPN. It would be fun to trade spins with other respected embeds in the sports media. Spreading dis-information is so neo-neocon chic! Howling! (Note: this post and the thread it is attached to is a joke. It is only a joke. If it were real, board rats would be advised to tune their radios, and iWatches, to an emergency broadcast channel, where the ghost of Steve Jobs would appear in a black turtle neck and blue jeans in front of an Orwellian backdrop and tell us all exactly what to do before the private oligarchy can figure out how to preempt it.)

  @drgnslayr That is pathetic. Some taxpayer should have punctured his tires on a regular basis. I am so fed up with free loaders who won’t pull their own weight and then work the system -I found a year ago I have a relative doing this. I had a number of talks with them about it and finally lost it. I told them if you keep being part of the problem and instead of the solution we won’t have contact anymore.

  @Statmachine From what I read, I’d be happy just to fill one of those scholarships with these guys and then hope for a late catch… something Self is probably the best in the country at doing.

  As I understand it this family friend insults the boys mother and they get pissed. If they just go at him one at a time I would be fine with it. One on one fights happened now and then in our crowd to our mid 20’s. The problem is a patten of problems. And this time they ganged up on one guy-and to his credit he was trying to get away from them. . Add celebrity and money. Here comes the cops and robbers, er lawyers. (Ps-if someone here is a lawyer no malice-just humor.)

  @nuleafjhawk I’m okay with us totally staying out of the OAD market. But Self isn’t. I’m saying we need to snit or get off the pot! (420?) Seriously… we need to decide what our identity is and then fit that identity. We’ll never be a lasting, consistent OAD school if we stay with Adidas. And that is fine unless we sit on 3 scholarships in June without a big man.

  @HawksWin I really don’t know. He has tremendous potential. But things happen fast today. You’ve got to be ready to be jumped by OADs the way Svi almost jumped Brannen. You have to be ready to hang around for another season, when the dump trucks come. Guys at UK will see daylight that seemed buried last season. Svi might have to wait a season if a hyper class were signed. There is just more volatility in talent flow than before.

  My prediction of the hour…KU with the lead on Diallo and Duke with the lead on Ingram…but it could change in the next 15 minutes. I understand that Ingram will announce in 1 week from today.

  @justanotherfan I have to respectfully disagree with you. Ollie is well respected in the NBA as a player because of his work ethic not necessarily because of his ability since he was mostly a role player that averaged 3.8 ppg and 15 mpg over his career. However, his only coaching experience is 2 years as an assistant under Calhoun and 3 as head coach with 1 (very successful) trip to the NCAA with Calhoun’s players) and the next year (last season) he made it only to the 1st round of the NIT. Not really an impressive coaching background. Bruce Weber came within a whisker of winning the NCAA with Self’s players and had a much better record than Ollie and he is not even sniffing the NBA anytime soon; he might even be out of a job at KSU soon. Remember Mike Davis? He made it to the NCAA Title game in his second seasons as HC at Indiana (with Bob Knight’s players) and after that it was all downhill with UAB next and now coaching at Texas Southern of the Southwestern Athletic Conference… a long ways from the bright lights of Indiana and the Big 10. Scott Brooks has finished 5th, 4th, 1st, 1st,1st, 1st and 2nd in the North West division which for a super-small market team with a lot less resources than a big market team is really, really good. He is already third in the franchise history in wins behind only legends Lenny Wilkens and George Karl. I have a couple of friend in OKC that are big fans and what I hear from them is that he is well liked and respected by fans. Last season was a disaster with injuries and they went through 21 players…if Durant had played 30 games instead of 27, they are most likely in the playoffs. When you look at all coached in the NBA history with 400 or more games, Scott Brooks is #8 all time in winning %…this pretty darn good. The only other coaches with a better winning % are: Phil Jackson 0.704 Billy Cunningham 0.698 Gregg Popovich .685 K. C. Jones .674 Red Auerbach -.662 Pat Riley 0.636 Erik Spoelstra 0.629 Scott Brooks 0.620 Anyway, that is my story and I am sticking to it

  We had glimpses last season of how well this team can play when firing on all cylinders, and with the extra year of experience…and it hey can find consistency, I believe we will see improvement across the board. I have a sneaky feeling that Greene will be a really pleasant surprise.

  @brooksmd Actually, it had been a long, long time since any coach defeated the Jayhawks 2 out of 3 trips to Manhattan. I know those home contests vs. KU were like the Super Bowl to Weber and his purple priders, but the guy did pull off the two victories…and against a fella who had just cause to send him to his own mock funeral. Those 2 wins are probably saving his job, as we write.

  I will be attending quite a few LSU games next year because of these exciting newcomers. Unfortunately for LSU, they had two double double machines Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey who decided to leave early and potentially not even get drafted. LSU is not going to be that successful next year in my opinion because of their coach and lack of a big man in the middle. The kid who signed today, Sampson, was a teammate of Jerrell Martins, the double double guy who left. They go to this little charter school here in Baton Rouge and the competition isn’t really that great for them here.
