@BShark
Safe to assume he’s resetting the market
He’s a unique talent but it will have other parents/handlers delusional I’m sure.
as the recruiting early period is fast t approaching , I think the real question becomes - -does anyone think we are going to get any early commits ? been pretty dam quiet as far as solid.
Ya I know everyone says oh Peterson is a lock- -done deal–rapped up. --That’s good , but I also remember not that long ado DeAndre Ayton was a- --LOCK ,–forget about it it’s a done del - -then BAM I’m going to Arizona. -If Peterson is so locked into KU then why doesn’t he just go ahead right now and commit ? - -If he is so locked in- -why does he continue to take other visits - -OHIO St example ?
Who else do we deal really , really good about ?- -gonna be intrestin - -Heard from others that we now are starting to get left out of the conversation on Eric Reibe- -sounding more like U Conn - -were still in the Hunt but have faded -guess three teams basically - -U Conn – -Indiana - -And KU with us third -so are we landing anybody early ?
Lots of great reading. I’ve become even more convinced that Billy will be a huge key to where our season goes.
My gut on him… he is one of the most-competitive players we’ve had in years in the post.
He’s going to be a guy that develops in waves. He brings in great tools, just has to be able to apply it to the standards and speed of D1.
Should be extremely exciting! Probably best that the pressure is on him. Guys built at that level of competitiveness usually do best to be pushed with pressure. I’m thinking we will all be a bit nervous with his play, and then some time in Jan-Feb he will make a huge leap. Suddenly he “gets it” for some aspects of the game.
One thing he has to be careful with… he MUST multitask at a high level. Translated… that means… he can’t be in a game focusing on his scoring, setting screens or blocking shots so gives up putting his energy into rebounding.
@EdwordL Teams have done it successfully in last second FT situations trailing by 2 with one FT. KU did it successfully once in a late-season game sometime in 1975, I believe. But it is usually set up for someone besides the shooter (who should be blocked out) to get the carom. We had 6-10 Danny Knight, 6-10 Rick Suttle, and 6-9 Donnie von Moore in those years to get rebounds. A bit more size available than Preston and Lightfoot trying to grab an intentional miss of Doke’s.
@jayballer54 I’m sure i messed up the skin you’re using (in combo with the device / browser you use) with the tweaks I did. Reverted and all good for the time being. May revisit later
I still think Svi will earn back his starting spot. We are going to need the extra height he brings over Vick. Anyone else think it will be Doke, Preston, Svi, Newman and Graham starting on Oct. 31 against Pittsburg St.?
Doke must stay healthy and find his FT touch for us to go the distance. You can see he’s working on finding a FT form that works for him. In the second Ex. game he moved off-center at the FT line. So, he’s trying some things out. I hope he shoots about a million FTs in the next 3 months.
I sure like Marcus Garrett’s energy. He’ll be a great energy guy off the bench like Vick has been doing for us. RCJH
@stoptheflop Thank you buddy. I’m not sure what happened with my jayballer 54 , I can’t see any of the threads on there. But thanks muchly appreciated, just chilling waiting for the B-game at noon lol. thanks again - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG
@Lulufulu
I don’t recall anyone eating dog in Italy, unless there was a food shortage during a World War. But horse? Well, I don’t know the roots of it, but I recall it being served in some restaurants there.
That’s a clear sign that KSU doesn’t think they can do better than Weber. They are in a state of trying not to get worse rather than trying to get better. I don’t think they believe they can get better (or that they are willing to try to get better). They will be between 4th and 8th in the Big 12 as long as Weber is there. They won’t bottom out completely, but they won’t rise, either.
@Statmachine
Vick could have a great acting career in Hollywood playing homocidal maniacs with that stare!
Self likes characters.
Looks like he’s got one in Vick!
Note: I’m sure Vick is just mugging for the camera.
I’m looking for Vick to be a stellar player this season.
Wow, that’s insane, not that I’m mad at him - -but good golly 150,000,000 is ALOT of money, I can’t even begin to imagine that kind of money - -it’s just a number. - -Good for Wiggs. – -JAYHAWK FOR LIFE
