  @Fightsongwriter I do lack confidence right now in Newman with the ball. I bet most everyone does. Driving and taking a bad shot that gets blocked, when an open player is waiting for the dish isn’t a turnover. But we lose a possession. He does seem surprisingly shaky with the ball. Choking on the press, where the turnover leads to an easy basket. Like the combo guard that ain’t totally a combo — meaning the PG part is lacking. With Newman, it’s all made worse by his ranking and our expectations of having a potential conference player of the year, or something just short of that. For me. I don’t see him contributing greatly to team success on the court yet. But man, we need him to flip the switch. As critical as anything right now.

  All our players have to do is learn a new mantra, and keep it and say it and feel it every single day from now until the beginning of April - “Today we are going to become better than we were yesterday!” Then… go make it happen! One goal. Nothing else. Go become better every day. We shouldn’t panic. We shouldn’t fail to see the wood for the trees. Momentum comes much easier when we keep it simple. Don’t make this overwhelming. Character is never tested without facing struggles. We should know who we are and we should take it day-to-day… getting better every day!

  I spoke with Zenger a couple of months ago… just before our first game. I asked him what he thought of this team. He told me, “WE are excited! Devonte is an original. A unique player.” He gave me a bit of an odd expression. I think “WE” meant himself and Bill. That short moment with Zenger has puzzled me all this time. I’ve been the guy who always felt like Devonte was capable of being everything Trae Young is showing the world now… but better. Experienced. I still think that. I remember when he stepped up in Norman against Buddy. I still think Devonte has just one more thing to conquer; himself. He needs to find a way to stay focused during games… with the right kind of focus. It really is a mystery watching him play. He still is a streaky player. Hot and cold shooting… hot and cold in a leadership role. Everyone loves Devonte. Players, fans, students. He’s extremely personable. He has that “people person” charm that can really help a team leader lead. I’ve come to not understand this part of what I am seeing, anymore than understanding Devonte’s streaky game. I really thought he was going to bring us a refreshing look different from Frank. And we have seen some of that. But many of the leadership aspects I expected from him are still missing. I expected he would be the most vocal/animated leader we have ever had in the Self era. I felt like Zenger’s coded message to me was about Devonte being a great leader for this team. This one area is the area that will turn this team around. Devonte is the key. For example… where was Vick in this last game? That should have been asked with 15 minutes left in the first half. And the one asking should have been Devonte. “Hey man… we need YOU! Come on!” Someone needs to step up and rally our troops. Someone needs to bring them together when they aren’t playing like a team. Getting a couple more post players wasn’t the answer for this loss. Anyone believing that Silvio and Billy will be our big remedy will be in for a shock. Our biggest weakness isn’t our post depth. Our biggest weakness is the ineffectiveness of our guard play. We can make any opposition’s offense look like Golden State! We aren’t controlling pace… nothing. You could see this last loss within the first 2 minutes of play. Maybe our guys are handcuffed by their own thoughts… more… FEARS about losing the streak! Look back at that Texas game. The only reason we won was because we couldn’t miss from trey. To shoot that well from trey an eek out a victory should have been a sign. I feel bad for Self. He must feel stumped on how to get these guys motivated. Maybe the problem isn’t motivation. Maybe the problem is just an execution problem. From my experience, defensive softness is an attitude problem. You can’t just make players hungry. I think our guys feel like they are stuffed with steak and shrimp. We need chemistry. We need synergy. We need life. We need optimism. We need hustle. We need team play. We need leadership. I’m not giving up on these guys. At any moment in this season the light bulb might come on. And if it does… we are going to go on a streak!

  @Gunman I wish he would do that, send these guys a message. I always told my team that effort was a must, all the time and if they didn’t bring that everyday they’d never play a minute for me. “I’d rather lose by 30 playing our tails off, than lose by 5 because we didn’t want it enough” - kjayhawks.

  @HighEliteMajor Sosinski HAS to start playing. So does everyone on the bench. They have to be sent in to zone and hard foul the middle 5 minutes of each half. If Self doesn’t do this, the top 7 guys will all wear so much lingerie they will each look like the Mummy by February 1.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 That’s a really good point. Can you imagine what a Josh Jackson, Andrew Wiggins - even Selby would have done in a program like OU’s ? Don’t get me wrong, I hate Oklahoma in all sports, just using that as an example because of Young, Hield and many others they’ve had - even Bigger Mouthfield in football - they do a much better marketing job on the big names that they land in their respective sports.

Not eating any crow with this team this year. We are on the same team here, Jayhawk fans. I’d love to be wrong but I’m just realistic and knew this year was going to be a tough one.

  @JayHawkFanToo KU late nineties. No summer school. I’m not 100% sure if he started on the me degree his freshman year or like most students he changes his major at least once. He Graduated in four years, but he didn’t play basketball for Bill Self either. I believe most people refer to them as four year degrees because that’s what it should take, but many less demanding degrees than engineering take more than 4 years due to course correction in a teenagers life. I’m glad you were so well prepared as an 18 year old to know how and what you wanted to do. I’m nearly 40 and still haven’t figured it out. Maybe someday…
