  “Chab” (Sir Charles Barkley) was the same height as Wayne, but played 20+ lbs heavier. He played the 4 and dominated. For Wayne, it is all about the “size of the fight in the dog.”

  I’m guessing they are limited on bringing in “lady guests?” What a pity…

  Having Aaron Miles on that bench will make us better, whatever he will be able to do for the team. He is the Kansas all-time assist leader, two time all big 12, two consecutive Final Fours. Have lunch with the guards every day.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 Typically I would agree with you, because most 9th men in college have zero NBA caliber skills. Brannen Greene is an exception because he has one NBA caliber skill. The uniqueness of his NBA caliber skill is that Greene has the ability not just to be an above average perimeter shooter in the NBA, but to be an elite level one. That matters. Darion Atkins (University of Virginia) never played more than 16 minutes a game until he was a senior. As a senior he averaged just 7.6 ppg and just 6 rpg. He’s currently getting a shot with the Knicks. He’s got the potential to be an elite level defender. NBA people are hoping he develops a solid shooting touch. He’s basically the opposite of BG, with NBA people hoping he can become a player similar to Draymond Greene as a multipositional defensive wiz and matchup nightmare. Greene is 6-7, athletic and a tremendous shooter. That will get him more than a passing glance from NBA people. Greene will get his chance. He may not capitalize on it, but he will get the chance.

  @jaybate-1.0 Does the line between the snake and the text represent the bench? Looks like you have Bragg, Vick and Svi pretty close to the line…

  @drgnslayr TV markets don’t matter without a conference network. While WVa may not be a recruiting hotbed itself, Western PA is which is just up the road and is a recruiting hotbed. If you go into Florida to add a team, you might as well add both UCF and USF. If you do that, I’d say split the divisions with rival schools in opposite divisions and do like the SEC does and have a designated cross-divisional game. One division could be Baylor, Texas, OU, Kansas, ISU, and USF and the other could be TCU, Tech, OSU, KSU, WVU, and UCF. Everybody gets a guaranteed game in Texas every year and a guaranteed game in Florida every 2 seasons while having a cross divisional game against a cross divisional rival guaranteed every year as well.

  @BeddieKU23 Sorry, we were both incorrect. Duke has 11 players on scholarship and 2 players that are not on scholarships this season that are likely getting one this season, like some players do at KU when scholarships ares available, They have two seniors leaving which will give them 4 available scholarships, assuming the two players go back to being non-scholarship players and they have 3 commits, so, unless someone else goes pro or transfers, they have only one scholarship available. KU on the other hand has 3 spots open…

  @wrwlumpy Nice! Man if Svi has improved that much he will be a part of this team I hadn’t really thought of contributing a whole lot. It’d be interesting to know if Selden was on this watch list a year ago. I’m still taking a show me approach to Wayne although his WUG did show us a lot.

  I almost wrote them off after the past month or so. They just didn’t have the magic that carried them through the summer. Suddenly, they went from being one of the best teams with runners in scoring position, to one of the worst. I think they are back to trying to regain their identity, and hopefully last night inspires them to do it! I’ve thought that Houston sort of reminds me of our Royals last year. Young, without experience but driven, focused and playing footloose with nothing to lose and everything to gain. I kind of think the Royals are tasting a bit of what Kansas basketball has to deal with. Now… the expectations are high so they perhaps play a bit stiff and defensive… just trying NOT to lose instead of trying to win. They definitely have become more conservative and they don’t put the pressure on other teams with their speed on the bases.

  @JayHawkFanToo Universities and ADs don’t operate the way they used to. It is ALL about money. It is run similar to a corporation. The real shock is in endowments. Why do universities need so much money? I know they need money to operate and to develop. But seriously… I’m not sure, but I think KU has assets over a $billion! Every year I get hit on and it feels like panhandling. I look at universities now the same way I look at big corporations. They suck in huge amounts of capital out of our economy and where does it go? When our economy fell in '07-'08… where was big corps? They were sitting on fat, fat equity, and most still are. Was it just “riding the storm?” And the ones that weren’t had their hands out looking for a gov bailout. Couldn’t they have played a bigger role in “stimulus” instead of having our gov go in more debt to stimulate the economy with a “stimulus package?”
