  Funny quote from Hayes…something like…he’s an old guy and all of that yelling and screaming wears you out. Maybe that’s why I’m so tired…;)

  Seems how I don’t follow ku football it’s an easy choice for me. And because my whole sports season revolves around the basketball team it would never get old cutting down the Nets in april

  @JayHawkFanToo I have seen that Howard wants a trade. Unfortunately, his age and injuries have robbed him of his bounce, as @Makeshift has pointed out. In addition, the Rockets offense is much better when based around Harden’s skillset than when it is revolving around Howard. Howard probably can’t carry a league average offense at this point in his career because he can’t dominate with athleticism on that end. Howard is probably a 16 and 12 guy at this point in an ideal situation. Houston isn’t ideal for him, but he could do a lot worse before he does better. He could average 19-10 for a non-contender if he’s interested in that. Just depends on what he wants at this point in his career.

  @jayballer54 If you were referring to my post, I did not say that, I quoted and properly credited Jeff Goodman of ESPN for the comment.

  @jaybate-1.0 I’ve never questioned Bragg’s attitude. I think he brings a great, positive attitude to the game. He has a solid skill set and potential upside, too. He is just a bit raw. He needs to take a page from the BG development book… lower his center of gravity. HS ball just isn’t competitive enough to require guys bending knees, widening stances and challenge each other by ability to properly leverage their weight and strength. He isn’t going to take 3 years to learn that like BG has taken. Bragg came to Kansas, mentally an open book, a sponge to fill with knowledge. No concept of “fools gold” ideas that a good perimeter shot will trump having to master the rest of the game…

  @drgnslayr It was a typical fluff piece w/o in depth analysis. I posted it because this was a big change by Self, who always seems to get blamed for being stubborn and inflexible. I would speculate having such good ball handlers penetrating the lane opens up our 3 point shooting when defenses collapse on our guards.

  @JayHawkFanToo I remember some fans became pretty hyped with Teahan and the possibility that he could shoot the lights out.

  @globaljaybird We need some payback motivation with SDState for their beatdown of our wimpy Hawks of several years ago.

  @blackmild33 Yes, it looks like one guy switched his pick from KU to Duke…I believe that he had originally picked Alabama for Bolden before switching to KU a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully it is just an isolated hunch and not inside info.

  @JhawkAlum Glad to hear it. It made me laugh out loud, when I thought of it, so I had to post it.

  @BeddieKU23 I think the thing that hurt OU the most after Blake was the fact that he had such drama with Willie Warren, Tiny Gallon and Mason-Griffin. After that year (i think 2008 or 2009) Oklahoma wasn’t as appealing to recruits. They had 3 McD’s AA and had a losing record.

  @RockChalkinTexas Totally inexperienced team. Koenig and Hayes are proving they thrive better with a supporting cast and are not carrying the load by themselves. Basically they have Hayes, Koenig and Happ who are legitimate starters and that’s it. All of the Bo streaks are going to end this season I’m afraid, no dance, no 4th or better in the Big1G, etc. It’s tough to complain too much, but makes me wonder what the future will be like.
