  He would have been even MORE of a freak if he had stayed in college four years. I mean, who does that ?

  @HighEliteMajor I think you are seeing Garrett as an individual piece and not a piece of the team. Individually, he has been solid. But being the best defender when the other 4 are porous really has no value. So essentially, this team has to outscore the other team. Garrett providing no offense hurts this team more than his good defense helps it.

  @dylans The delays after self-reporting are sometimes due, it seems to me, to lack of transparency from the families and others receiving or getting payoffs. OTH, maybe KU has a major cloud obscuring everything questionable that occurs. It took how long for the JJ facts to come out? The dorm crime is still unresolved. The 'Stache has mysteriously disappeared. Carlton’s pipe took awhile. We didn’t even know about Vick:s freshman year problem until last year. It seemed to take forever and a private lawyer for the facts to come out about about Cliff and, IIRC, Diallo. Selby’s family friend, Ben’s trip–lots of investigations, sometimes a several game sanction, but not a lot of clarifying reports.

  Kcmatt7 said: Well I hope he can help. I’m worried that he will be so far behind that he might not be any better than Mitch. But if he is a quick learner, and the upperclassmen utilize that gym in the dorm to run through the playbook with him whenever they can, there is definitely some upside. I agree that he could be no better than Lightfoot. But he will help enormously simply because he is another body that is actually a basketball player. KU needs at least a three man rotation inside to let KU’s bigs play aggressively for 40 minutes in a 4-1 set, go with two bigs for short stretches as MUs require, and help us bridge through inevitable injuries and flu.

  @HawkChamp True story, but an ivy leaguer (I think?) Whitman and Coleby don’t exactly make me salivate over how great we’d be if they were playing.

  We certainly suck right now. Why sugar coat things. Arizona St didn’t make anything they normally wouldn’t. If anyone has seen them play this is how Hurley has instructed his team to play now. Their guards are seniors and they know how to make people pay for any little mistake. They shoot freely and from any distance. Looked a ton better then what we have been clouting as the best perimeter in the country. Having more bodies will help depth and maybe bring this team together. Those are wishful thoughts.

  It’s a rebuild year. We’re going to take some lumps along the way. At least we aren’t as bad as Wisconsin.

  Malik Newman? Nope. Easy answer. We got spread out, sped up, carved up and served by a quick and confident team that took our best shot in the beginning and then issued out a good old fashioned butt whipping. We lost the game. We are not full strength and hopefully we can get it together. This is the reason I enjoy the hell out of every win. Losing sucks, but it’s not the end of the world. Their guards got in the paint, attacked the basket and made layups. Our guards got in the paint for pull up jumpers. Great lesson learned and plenty of game tape to review. We will be okay. We always are! Malik Newman needs and deserves our support.

  It has also been fun as it is reminding me of some of my own life experiences and bringing back good memories: Watching the “Durant Show” from the last seat in the house in March 2007. Being able to see the Iowa St. Vs Kansas game at bar on a beach in Ixtapa in 2005 (that was the only game I was able to watch in 2005). Here is an excerpt that I read a few times because I enjoyed the imagery: "Jeremy Case: that summer it was all about getting better against each other. I think we were going so hard against each other that it caused a little tension. There were a lot of arguments, a lot of fights. The most memorable one was with Russ and Darnell. Sherron Collins: We were playing pickup and Darnell and Russ were arguing about recruiting rankings. They were going back and forth about who was rated higher coming out of high school. It was getting heated, then D-Block started making fun of Russ. He said he wasn’t a true New Yorker, that he was from the suburbs. That pissed Russ off. Jeremy Case: Russ found a line on the court and told Darnell, “C’mon…cross the line right here. I dare you to cross it.” So Darnell crossed the line and swung at Russ. He missed, and then Russ swung back and caught him right in the jaw. Darnell stumbled back a little and then we broke it up. I think Russ got the best of him. Tyrell Reed: Darnell didn’t go to the floor, but Russ definitely staggered him. Russ started running around (celebrating) and pickup was done."

  @drgnslayr Fumble? Shucks, our king of fumble transferred last summer to Arizona State. His fumbling was not at floor level, but rather in the rafters, up above the 7’ mark. (Though I write this with a sense of mirth, I do feel bad for that kid. I hope to see him lift his life together and step back into the path of stardom somewhere soon. Another Jayhawk “what might have been.” I am pulling for him.)

  HighEliteMajor said: I’m going with @Dylans on this one. I personally LOVE Bill Self’s new demeanor. It was apparent last season too. You know why? Do you all want to know why? Three pointers. He’s accepted the devil. It’s calming. So no need to flop around like a newly hooked Mackerel. He still blisters guys a new one, but the gyrations during the action are much more limited. It’s really terrific in my opinion. I like three pointers, too. By the way, the WU coach said they were trying to stop Graham. Meaning, anyone beats them except him. Just saw that. I like it too. Self is not stupid. His being a bit of an ogre was impacting recruiting.

  Damn, between Oklahoma making 9 three pointers in the 1st half - -11 USC turnovers and Trae Young scoring 20 in the 1st half - -don’t think I’m going to like this kid very much. - Fortunely I think he is a OAD. - very legit. - -USC lucky they only down 12 at the half. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
