  @Texas-Hawk-10 u Your post is accurate and well articulated. I would however offer two observations: Our sheer number of available post players will help mitigate any propensity for foul trouble that Diallo might have. And while it would be ideal to have him on the court as much as possible…any minutes are better than we are getting right now-even… if it is just 7-10 minutes per game of free-for-all at a frantic pace. Until he learns better. Secondly, the perception of a shot blocker can also be a strength. That perception can alter shots or cause the dribble driver to retreat or pass the ball out of traffic. I would contend that Joel and Withey altered / prevented far more shots than they ever blocked and they didn’t even have to draw contact to do it. Just having that wingspan on the court will benefit us…especially if he has a bit of a reputation as an enforcer because of his aggressiveness. I just hope we get the chance to see him prove us right or wrong!

  @SoftballDad2011 Diallo did not retain legal counsel, his guardian did.

  On the MU situation, most of what was thought to be "systemic’ racism was either isolated incident or completely untrue/hoax. Sad that the admin folded so quickly.

  @jaybate-1.0 I wondered if this was legal, seems like w/ncaa nothing is above them. The article did say the programs would be ok going forward, made me wonder what changed.

  @JayHawkFanToo "HC Self values loyalty highly and probably feels he owes Perry to get it him at least partially prepared for the next level and this is the reason why he will see time at the 3. " This has possibilities of helping us recruit. Because… the basketball world perceives Kansas as a school to go to if you want to help Kansas… Kentucky is a school to go to if you want to help yourself. Yeah… off come the crimson-blue glasses. If you listen to Calipari talk it is all about his goal of seeing how many players he can put in the league. Part of that is getting the player to play at the position he has his best shot at in the league. I think we have 19 guys in the league, second only to Kentucky at something like 21. Big difference here… most or all of those Kentucky players were highly ranked out of HS and should have made it to the pros even if they sat out a year. Whereas… pull out Wigs and JoJo, and maybe X… our guys weren’t at that same level coming out of HS. Big difference. However… “perception is king” and that is why Kentucky is always loaded.

  @HighEliteMajor Calipari beat Self with a much more talented team; the Uni-brow alone would have made any decent team a top 5 team and last season, not only UK had more talent but also had played a number of games against top competition before meeting a green KU team…lets see how it turns out this season when Calipari still has more talent but the KU team is not nearly as green as last season’s team. BTW, Self beat Williams with an equally or lesser talented team than UNC.

  @rocketdog Heard Self speak today and he was asked about Diallo. He did everything he could to stay positive and also not slam the NCAA. But he shared his frustration about the amount of time it has taken. This all goes back to April. Evidently, they contacted Kansas in the summer and asked them to provide more information which they did quickly.

  @BeddieKU23 I think Bragg and Mickelson can be better than Traylor and Tarik. Provided Wayne’s ankle is almost healed, he needs to wrap that up tight and come out to play tomorrow. BUT, Coach Self needs to run offense for him specifically so he doesnt come out flat and look bored.

  @BeddieKU23 exactly , your spot on only the one that knows for sure is THE PLAYER theirself, and half the time I’m not even sure they know until they wake up one morning and like a light goes off and they say hmmmmmmm, think I"ll announce today. you know the one thing I Can’t stand buddy? I can’t stand the way these kids have turned this recruiting process into a circus. You know what I mean? you know, calling for these huge press conferences in front of national media, ESPN and such, having a table with all these dam hats lined up, or hidden under the table, what happened to the days they decided called the coach and the Coach announced it to the media after he got the commit? Dam I’m getting old lol, well the hell is Rodger Bohensthil, or Roger Morningstar, or Tommy Kivisto, or Rick Suttle, or the Knight brothers when you need them lmao, now I AM showing my age lol, ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  Seeing as the college semester is 2/3rds of the way over why don’t they just look at his friggin current grades to see if he’s a worthy college student? Unless he’s taking Advanced Game Boy, Principals of Fast Food, Science of Worldstar Hiphop Fights, and Grammar of Instagram, it seems like this ought to be a good way to prove his merits as a one year rent a player.
