  @dylans lol - agree on “whiny and annoying”. And recruiting. I guess I just figured if someone was a really good coach, I’d like to have him on our sidelines. But there are plenty of non whiny & annoying ones to go around!

  If I had to spend a year in student housing, practicing, and working out without playing; I know where I would go. As a matter of fact KU had me at student housing. To bad I’m too old, my eligibility has timed out, never mind my lack of talent…

  @Texas-Hawk-10 I hear what you are saying. Maker has muddied his own waters. But what we think doesn’t matter… it’s what Self thinks. I can think of some interesting ideas with Maker. Like how about a 1-3-1 defense? Maker in the middle and Chukwu down low.

  I don’t see any court related stuff happening from this. A loan filing made by Cliff’s mom became public, the NCAA notified KU, KU sat Cliff as advised by the NCAA, the NCAA investigated as best they could, they never got a hold of what they needed to because they don’t have the ability to subpoena. There’s nothing more the NCAA can do unless the actual loan documents become public and that’s not going to happen by legal means.

  SCORING LIKELY TO DECREASE WITH NEW SHOT CLOCK

  I think scoring will up up slightly this year. Taking 5 seconds off the clock isn’t going to change the offense teams run, just make them start earlier. This change means teams would have an extra 10-12 possessions at most so we’re talking maybe 5-6 points for a really slow, grinding Big 10 style game and maybe 1-2 points for a normal game.

  @jayballer54 About right. When he committed I think his hs coach or AAU coach said he would decide within a couple of weeks on whether to re-classify or not.

  The two biggest concerns I have for Kansas this year are the leadership issues that have plagued KU the past couple of seasons and can Diallo stay out of foul trouble enough to be the rim protector KU lacked last season. This is by far the most talented KU team since the 2010-11 team that lost to VCU and there is not a dominant team in college basketball.

  @jaybate-1.0 I’m curious. Who are the current ShoeCo’s ombudsmen that dictate college sports? Who replaced Sonny Vaccaro? George Raveling? World Wide Wes? There must be many of these guys out there laying down the law just like the mob still does in NYC. Why does Kansas remain an Adidas school? Come on, it can’t be because they save a few bucks on shoes. Found this tidbit on WWW’s Wiki page: "Wesley was also very visible in the months leading up to LeBron James’ defection from agent Aaron Goodwin. Goodwin, who signed James out of high school, had helped him earn a lucrative contract with Nike. James signed with Rose during the summer of 2005. John Calipari has been quoted as saying, “Wes is a goodwill ambassador to our program.” After Kentucky claimed the title over Kansas, Kentucky Wildcats star Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist climbed into the stands and shared a celebratory hug with Wesley, who was sitting in the Kentucky family section inside the Superdome.” There is no way WWW can put up a fight with Nike. He has to have some protection.

  @drgnslayr Banker Drysdale was always threatening to transfer Miss Hathaway to Moosejaw, Alaska. As a kid I always wanted to visit there and Beverly Hills to see the difference.

  I wonder if the Harrison twins have abandoned their relationship with John Lucas? He built them into the players they are today. Took them in when they were in the 8th grade and worked with them all the way through Kentucky. They were nothing but physical specimens back then. It is hard to believe they aren’t better than they appear to be. They’ve been coached up for so long. I just don’t see a high enough basketball IQ. When something gets thrown at them they panic instead of counter.

  These kids are required to watch a film EVERY time they go go an armature tournament starting when they are finishing middle school. They have coaches and counselors to help them in high school and college alike. Some of these kids aren’t the brightest of the bunch (parents as well) but there are knowledgable people all around them that can keep them informed and out of trouble. It keeps happening, and everybody looses but the scumbag.

  @wrwlumpy Young Nic certainly spewed the right stuff to his interviewer. I hope the kid shines; and that he helps us advance far enough into this summer tournament that our squad earns a wealth of July gametime exposure and experience. Nic has played three years and has earned recognition as one of a handful of top dogs in his league. Maybe his talent and particular patterns will open Bill’s eyes to something new for the Jayhawk Play Book.
