  @Crimsonorblue22 We’ve played Kentucky in the Champions Classic in 2014-15 and 2017-18 since the B12/SEC Challenge started in 2013-14. We played Florida and Texas A&M in those two seasons. 2013-14 is the only year KU and Kentucky haven’t played when it’s been a possible match up and KU played Florida that season. My money would be on KU and Kentucky playing again this year in AFH since last season’s game was at Rupp.

  I’d like to see Marcus step up this year and LEAD our defense! He’s earned that respect from his teammates. He just needs to step from out of the shadows. A bit more self-confidence should do the trick. I’m pretty sure our coaches could work this concept into his psyche. The more we build his confidence, the more we see him contribute in all parts of his game. Might even help his jump shot fall at a higher rate. I remember, back in the day, being coached into a more confident shot. I was trained to tell myself “I’m gonna get this one!” every time I went up for a shot. It helped me immensely, especially because I was a poor shooter in the first place. I think it helped me stay more focused throughout the shot and I put everything into each and every shot. I bet it lifted me 10% on my shot. It’s a natural and easy technique to do. I bet Marcus could gain from doing this.

  Another huge area… school athletic programs are having solvency issues. We all think of how much money is in college sports. But the cost to run these programs is astronomical, especially if schools want a competitive program. Think about how many entities have a say in college sports… NCAA, Board of Regents, several areas within the university, state legislatures, federal government in several areas, municipal authorities… lots of watchful eyes, legislation, rules, redundant everything… and it all draws money from the program, directly and indirectly. All schools, including the blue bloods, can use a real boost in the financial arm. This will trickle down to the athletes beyond whatever royalties they can receive.

  @dylans I’m imagining Silvio and Doke being a huge spiritual lift from just getting out there and playing since neither were deciding factors in last year. And then there is David. His game is transforming daily and it’s hard to not jump on his inspirational bandwagon. Ochai… someone forgot to tell him he’s not supposed to be starting for a blue blood program! Devon… why didn’t he go cash in? He might not have been drafted but he would have doors open and would have drawn a paycheck. He’s got something to prove. Losing doesn’t settle well with him at all, and it’s refreshing to see that! Marcus… there will always be the critics thinking he doesn’t deserve many minutes and he will continue to prove them wrong. The new guys… who knows what they bring to this but they will be surrounded by a team full of guys who have a high desire to go prove something. I’m hopeful they all buy right in! We have a team full of guys who can (and will) spiritually lead this team. This will truly be a rare team!

  I used to love the Shlockers until greasy haired Cooter Brown and his lush wife took over. And then their wanna-be fanbase started running us down. Wanna-bes…

  KUSTEVE said: @Kcmatt7 I assumed Charlie would be better, and that Devon would be worse. Devon was much better than I could’ve dreamed of- never seen a freshman point guard come in from Day 1 and play like that. Look, I hate to say I told you so on both counts…wait I don’t hate to say it at all. :p

  @HighEliteMajor That’s what I was getting at with the age aspect. Older and wiser. I know there was a big difference for me between 18 and 23.

  BShark said: @HighEliteMajor I know I’m repeating myself here but… My favorite thing about the incoming recruiting class is zero handlers. Of course our top two post players are handler kids, but I wouldn’t mind seeing going away from it in the future. I also think it’s pretty fortunate we still have Silvio and Doke, but it is important to note that while high ranked neither was expected to be OAD. I think originally both were expected to be 2 years with the potential of staying longer. Obviously things worked out. I’d rather have Dot and Doke than any 5* presumed OAD that we might have instead. I think we are headed for 30+ wins this season. Well said. Unlike last season, I have a feeling about this team. Didn’t feel it last year.

  KUSTEVE said: @RockkChalkk Are we upset that Q is gone? My personal opinion is he wanted to get away from his angry coach. Frannie has a long history dating back to 2006 for complete melt downs. Last year, he chased down the refs, and cussed them out after a 20 point loss. https://heavy.com/sports/2019/03/fran-mccaffery-iowa-coach-suspension/ No doubt his son contracting cancer back in 2013/2014 caused their family a ton of stress and angst. That said, I think I can safely say that Fran McCaffery is the angriest, most emotionally out of control coach in college basketball. I’ll bet he’s a total pain in the ass to play for. The only time you hear about Iowa basketball is when he has one of his infamous emotional breakdowns. I don’t blame Moss a bit not wanting to be around that kind of energy all the time. Yes, you nailed it! We badger fans like to say he had a “frantrum”. He’s a fool and there’s a reason why Iowa hasn’t made the 2nd weekend since the last millenium.

  You always monitor and keep in touch with guys. Best case is you land a case like Joey Baker, a top 25 (I think?) kid who wanted to RS instead of go to high school another year.

  @KUSTEVE I hope I’m right too, Steve. He is very skilled and a fighter! Imagine him in about two years with weight and muscle… Gordon Hayward?
