  Its awesome when a recruit is unwavering towards KU. Its even better when they commit early too. It seems I become bigger fans of guys that visit and know this is where they want to be. Then cancel the rest of their visits and sign on the line. Oubre and Embiid are a few that did it that I can recall.

  Maybe we should have sent Cam Brady to tell them that High School Basket ball players are this Nations backbone! I guess HCBS would have had better luck recruiting Pilipino tilt a whirl operators!

  @Crimsonorblue22 “I’m guessing you didn’t know that the Jayhawk does live on old mcdonalds farm?” I guess I didn’t know. I’d think we would be able to recruit a lot more McDonald’s All-Americans since our Jayhawk lives on their farm.

  I’m glad for the shot clock change because it will make teams play offense instead of just tossing the ball around the perimeter and sitting on a lead. There is nothing more frustrating than watching a team milk the clock for the first 12-15 seconds of the shot clock before they even start running their offense. With the shot clock shortened, fewer coaches will do that. If your offense cannot consistently generate a decent look in 20 seconds or so, your offense probably isn’t a very good one.

  Ya, Tyrel left after 2011 with the MorrisHawks, too old now. His last KU game was VCU, one that he’d love to vindicate, I’m sure. We sure could have used another combo guard like Reed or Selby in our 2012 Tourney Run ending at the hands of KY. Connor Teahan was the 1st guard off the bench, and a frosh Naadir, along with bigs KYoung and Justin Wesley.

  @HighEliteMajor Not a ruse. It all appears to depend on how badly Nike and Adidas want him.

  First, I’ve been a gun owner from birth. My father already had my first gun picked out for me before I arrived home from the hospital. My father and his 4 brothers were all military. When my age sprouted I took the necessary gun safety course and then began my half century enjoyment of firearms, both for sport target and for hunting and sometimes for defense. Most of my friends are on the very far right. Most of them carry NRA cards. Most of them collect guns and ammo. I have a very warped sense of what gun ownership is about because all of these people around me respect the capabilities of guns, so they are responsible and not the types to go into a church and mow down those in prayer. If I ran into some bad folks aimed to do me harm, I’d love to have any of my friends getting my back. It would be a very short exchange and we would be fine. But I differ highly from most of my friends in what I believe. I do believe in the Constitution and the right to bear arms. But I draw the line when we discuss it as a “right” instead of a “privilege.” Owning firearms is a privilege. But some of my friends think even a serial killer has the right to bear arms. There is no way to be safe as long as our concept is that everyone has the right to buy such vicious tools to kill other people with. Obviously, as we see on the news every night… plenty of whack jobs are using firearms to kill innocent people every day. If the fight is about “rights” then why wouldn’t driving a vehicle be a “right?” It serves a bigger utility purpose than carrying a gun in the city. But yet we are able to maintain a bit of rational thinking on automobiles so we view them as a privilege… as it should be. My fear is that the NRA has had it their way for too long. We will reach that point at some time when something crazy happens, like 1000 kids get mowed down by a lunatic that had a careful plan… and then we will all lose ALL our firearm privileges. This country seems to like to do everything in extremes. I look at that lunatic, disturbed kid in South Carolina and I see someone who is part of the problem and will end up one day making me lose my firearms. I think we need to crack down on who has the privilege to own. It won’t solve all the problems, but there is no one step fix for this.

  @jaybate-1.0 They can’t really go after KU since they aren’t really going after UNC. Normally I would have the same concern concerning the NCAA “rule stack” we normally would endure, but that ACC “circle of protection” has us covered this once.

  @jayballer54 It is never a good time to have an injury but you have to agree that some are worse than others, right? As far as: "ts pretty hard NOT TO make the NCAA’S" Kentucky and Uconn, just to name two very recent top programs, disagree… Kentucky - Top ranked recruiting classes in the last 5 years. - 2012 National Champion, 2013 NO NCAA (loss to Bobby MO in the NIT], NCAA 2014 Title Game, 2015 Final Four. UConn - 2011, National Champion, 2013 2nd Round NCAA, 2013 NO NCAA, 2014 National Champions, 2015 No NCAA. Current consecutive appearances: Kansas 26 Duke 20 Michigan State 18 Gonzaga 17 Wisconsin 17 No other team has more than 10…Not so easy, is it?

  @jayballer54 That’s why Arizona is the favorite among non-jayhawk fans to land him. The U-19 is a huge opportunity for Miller to solidify his position with him. Has Jackson even been to KU?? Obviously its far from over with him, I think if he signs early its with Arizona and if drags to the spring we will have to fight off everyone else that may get involved with him.

  @Statmachine Got me thinking about the very reverend “Godfather of Soul” at the Triple Rock Baptist Church… “Brother… have you seen the light?!”
