  I see that Andrew Jones one of the top unsigned guards is not considering KU anymore after this weekend’s games, one in which included playing against De’Aaron Fox which he was stellar in defeat. That was the one guard recruit I thought we could sneak in and get in the spring, tons of upside for this guy but we are no longer an option.

  @ralster "The Jayhawks’ 123-points versus Chaminade were most points in a game by a KU team in the 13-year Bill Self era and sixth most points in school history. In addition, KU’s two-game total of 215 points (123 vs. Chaminade; 92 vs. UCLA) were most points in consecutive games in the Self era. " ~ from KUSports.com That sure doesn’t sound like us at the end of last year… I hope we can finally give BAD BALL a burial… far, far away from Naismith’s resting place. “Noted coach Bill Self: “I think this is by far one of the better shooting teams we’ve had (51.3 percent overall through five games; 46.8 from three). That doesn’t mean we’re always going to make shots. I think we can score points in a hurry. I think we can run bad offense and come away with points. A lot of years we haven’t been able to do that.”” ~ from KUSports.com I wonder what Bill would think if he was a NBA coach? 1/2 the offense comes from “bad offense” in his book… guys just taking it on their own and finishing, etc. And then doing it over and over again until the defense figures out how to stop it. Winning is first… a beauty contest on offense… a distant second.

  Throwing gasoline on the fire. Conference championships are fine, and KU’s run or dominance over the Big 12 is great. Yet in the same breath KU’s dominance over the Big 12 has down graded it as a weak basketball conference. Have we not heard the arguments? Well if KU was in the Big 10, ACC, SEC, or Pac they wouldn’t have won so many conference championships. Look I’m fine with the streak and the dominance KU and coach has shown in the regular season. Yet what I do have a problem with is everybody given Coach a free pass when it comes to the big tournament and his failures. It’s like saying hey coach we’ll give you a free pass if you lose in the second round every year just as long as you win the conference championship. Bottom line ask yourself this 20 years from know will Espn be doing 20/20’s on KU’s conference success or that UK is making it the final 4 every year? Who will be considered the most dominating program? The program that wins their conference championship every year, or the team that makes it the final 4 every year. Sorry guys and gals but UK’s loss in the NIT is fading very fast. They are giving the benefit of the doubt and ranked in the top five every year before their stud class ever hits the floor. Also I maybe mistaken but it seems to me they are in the final four every year. Basketball fans aren’t going to remember how KU dominated the Big 12. Yet I’m pretty sure they all going to remember how UK dominated college basketball. Yet here in Jayhawk nation the big tournament is all luck?

  @BeddieKU2 Well rivals has Wendall Carter , the 6ft 10 Power forward from Georgia as it’s nu 1 player in the class & ESPN has DeAndre Ayton as their nu 1 Duval is nu 4 in the ESPN and he doesn’t even list Ku in his rivals listing as a school of interest. I think also we need Porter but it really really early, But I do know Trae likeKU a lot, has been to the last 2 KU late nights and is wanting to make another visit, so that sounds good just have to wait and see. Chaundee, is 73rd in Rivals., Preston is 6th in both services, but I know it will all work out. Just curious to how it all works, kids interest in school, schools interest in the kid, who is giving the information to the sites ya know?

  @ralster Agreed. I like and I appreciate Traylor’s efforts. I don’t think he will ever become a double-double machine that Bragg can be for this team. Not at this point in his career anyway.

  @ParisHawk The amount of the penalty is not the same as the amount of the violation. As I understand, the penalty is based on the type and severity of the violation and…believe it or not…varies by sport. I agree that the NCAA is apparently not the sharpest tool on the shed but they are not dummies either; they would not assess a penalty unless they have pretty convincing proof of the infraction. If the fines seem disproportionate as related to the offense, then the ADs need to change the guidelines the NCAA is required to follow. Zenger should make it his mission in life instead of screwing Jayhawk fans and having games blacked out,

  I for one really hopes that Coach doesn’t shrink the lineup this year. I believe it is a crazy strength of this team to put multiple players in the game at anytime. Why not. All these kids play hard. Why not give them some minutes and give key players a chance to catch their breath. Besides if our bench players can hang while the studs are resting? Why not. With Diallo coming into the mix KU has more big men than any program in the country. I say lets play them all. KU is deep at every position. I say lets play them all. Why not just overwhelm teams with out talent and depth?

  @drgnslayr Bill Self & the University of Kansas definitely raised the flag for the guys in limbo. The 2AA also tried to avert notice of their supreme flippin failure of this case by issuing a 6 game suspension on a dollar-two-ninety-eight improper benefit recipient when they stated all along the issues were academic over whatever schools he attended in the past. Oliver Duck (wrong first letter) punctuated rather definitively the complete travesty & ineptitude that was forced on Chieck & Self displayed this fiasco for national attention & all to behold. The word folly begins with the correct letter but comes no where close in the adequate description of this failure by the 2 AA. That account would be X rated & certainly not permissible on this board.

  @wissoxfan83 Well, i suppose it depends on what you like when you watch basketball. A former fan of NBA ball myself many years ago, i find the NBA stunningly boring to watch now. Lots of one on one plays by aurguably really good players, no real defense, and endless close to meaningless regular season games. Who cares when a player dunks as he flys by 2 or thre guys who dont try to stop him. Im sure there are tons of people on this site who could better articulate why the National Boring Association is inferior to d1 college ball despite the fact that nba players are incredibly talented.
