  SlickRockJayhawk said: It’s all about poise, leadership, and accountability. All three SEVERELY lacking on the floor against Duke. No one said Mitch was a PG or 2 guard. And you CAN’T GET MORE SHOTS when you’re peeing down your leg and giving up 28 turnovers. Mitch is obviously not the best leader to ever wear the Jayhawk uniform, but this team lacks leadership, and from my viewpoint, Mitch is the only one that is capable of bringing those skills to the floor. When someone does bring that to the floor, it’s contagious to the rest of the team. This is about what Mitch wants. - -what Mitch feels like is best for him - - not fans. - -He is doing what the Coach’s feel is the best situations - - not ours. - -It’s ONE game - -it was the 1st game. - -Did you happen to see Michigan St/Kentucky ? - - also ugly. The world isn’t coming to an end. - - -Devon has almost if not the same amount of playing time leadership time in over a year as Mitch has for his College Career - -Devon started from day one - - - career minute average of 32.4 per game – your point guard is widely considered as the leader on the floor - -Devon for his career has logged 1,206 minutes - - -Mitch has totaled 1,032 minutes Devon been through the wars/battles also - -were fine , - -not worth ruining a redshirt year for one game - - - have to look at the BIGGER picture very easily need Mitch more next year then this. - He is doing what he also feels is best for the School as well as him. - -Mitch is Crimson & blue 1000 times over - love the kid, he just does what he feels will help KU the most - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  Azuibuke is a very unique player for a lot of reasons. The positives: He’s one of the strongest players at the D1 level in some time. He’s big, but not a statue, so he can outrun opposing bigs if they do not hustle He cannot be forced off his spot offensively. The negatives He does not handle the ball well, so anything more than a drop step dunk carries significant risk. He rebounds with “short arms” so he doesn’t get nearly as many rebounds as you would hope for someone with his size and strength For his speed and mobility, he does not have good lateral quickness, which makes him very vulnerable defensively away from the basket. There will be games where Azubuike will be outright dominant, 11-13 from the field, 25 points, 10 rebounds. There will be games where he’s solid, but has turnover issues. 5-7 from the field, 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 turnovers. And there will be games where he is a net negative because he isn’t getting the ball where he needs it - 2-4 from the field, 4 points, 4 rebounds, 6 turnovers, 5 fouls. The challenge is, you don’t know which of those lines you will get pregame. You would take either of the first two, despite the turnovers. It’s that last one that really scares you, but what can you do about that. You can’t really just bench a guy like Doke because he is such a matchup problem at the college level. But that last line is a killer, and we know its coming at some point.

  Remember when there were actually freshmen who were academically ineligible? All the kids today say athletes are bigger stronger and faster, so Im sure they think smarter too. It is obvious that the only thing that’s changed is how prevalent cheating is.

  @chriz At OSU, the whole place is the KU section. Watching on TV, it looks like no matter who they’re playing or what’s at stake there will be a maximum of about 3,000 Okies there for any given game. Must be a lot of good country western bars in Stillwater…

We appeal and appeals are usually done in 6 or so mos which would be before the 2021 tourney. Your concern about missing the 2021 tourney is a very real possibility. In fact, with the current NOA, it seems like a certainly. Also assuming we don’t go to court and a court doesn’t stay the sanctions pending litigation. KU will take it to court if the corrupt thing tries try to hammer us, and we would win. In all honesty, if it were to go to court, there is so much that can be brought up and so many cans of inadmissable worms to be opened, and while those cans may be inadmissable the court would see them none the less - a lose, lose for the NCAA.

  FarmerJayhawk said: The right is entering dangerous territory with the increasing bent toward blood and soil nationalism and populism. They’ve vastly overcorrected for the left’s embrace of identity politics by embracing it themselves. They should’ve remained the liberal, free market party instead of embracing this MAGA/trade war/restrictionism/white identity politics claptrap. Leaves us normal liberals kind of homeless. It is a good thing then that I am not a single issue voter, and instead look at our nation and world for what they are by using my mind instead of my heart and vote accordingly. I am a big picture kind of guy, understanding that every single issue is not only about today, but also tomorrow. I have a clear view of what I want our country to be in one hundred years, and present day sanctuary city Seattle is certainly not the model - squalor doesn’t work and isn’t good.

  FarmerJayhawk said: BShark said: @FarmerJayhawk to be clear I meant the having sex with your underlings part and not the nudes leak part. I don’t even remember the guy you referenced here. Exactly. To me it’s more a people like to check out photos of a hot 30something Member than a 70 year old dude. I do think if someone like Rep. Stefanik from NY (married to a KU grad) did the same thing the press would go thermonuclear over the GOP’s problem with morality. I don’t think the press is explicitly out for GOP blood. I think they unconsciously find center-right people weird and think any transgression among “the other” is news while the same acts by a center-left person is business as usual. It’s not malicious, just tribal. Sorry, it is entirely malicious.

  Schneider has had some key injuries that hurt the team the last few season but it’s hard to believe he will have a job next fall. I think long has been busy with the hiring of Miles and a new softball coach so he got a pass last season. I really hope they can find someone to at least compete. Even Hendrickson had her good years.

  @FarmerJayhawk Apparently Vernon Carey Jr. has problems being engaged and giving 100% effort all the time. I’d bet he’ll be better against Kansas, just because he’ll be more excited to play against us than he was to play Northwest Missouri St. Here’s the box score: https://goduke.com/documents/2019/10/26//Duke_NWMS_Box_Score.pdf I’m a little worried about De Sousa guarding Hurt if that match-up happens. I know Hurt was 0-3 from 3, but he was 8-16 from the field overall, and Kansas has a pretty long and depressing history of opponent’s big-men deciding to transform into Steph Curry when they play against us. I’m not sure Duke wants Tre Jones taking 15 shots a game. A few of the freshman are going to have to step up and handle the scoring load for Duke to be elite this season.

  Kcmatt7 said: BShark said: Dave isn’t going to rs because he isn’t a five year guy. Fact of the matter is we have 3 centers on d and Mitch is a center on offense. This. And Silvio is athletic enough to guard a stretch 4 if he is engaged. I personally think the reason we can’t guard the 3 is our system is just too help-oriented. It’s a Bill philosophy thing more than being incapable of doing it. Right on … our help has put us out of position. Our help has been geared to defend inside working out. Our help has not funneled shots to the 8-18 foot range. Our defense needs to be geared to defend two nearly co-equal threats — 1a dunk/layups, and 1b three pointer. We should encourage and help create two point jumpers for our opponents as the better alternative. We haven’t been able to guard the three because we have not had a defensive philosophy that treats deep outside threats — the three pointer — on par with dunks/layups.
