  Congrats to Perry, I cannot think of a more deserving individual. Nothing represents the spirit of “Student-Athlete” better than Perry does. KU has been fortunate that most players have been pretty decent students and individuals as well.

  @HawksWin, I don’t know whether to respond to you are not. You are kind of fading out on my screen.

  Often, we try to think what would Self say? Or what would Roy Williams do? In the case of Duke, it isn’t “what would Coach K say”, but rather: what would Coach K say…to the refs!

  @drgnslayr I believe that the Thon Maker “legend” suffered a serious blow at the Nike Hoops Summit last weekend as I mentioned a t the time. He showed he is really not ready for prime time and at this time, he is more of a project than an immediate impact player. First, if you are that good and want to compete against the best, why in the world do you attend school in Canada? I don’t have anything against Canada but let’s face it, other than a few…make that several, good players that have come south lately, it is really not a basketball hotbed. Second, is there a chance that there are issues with his grades? It is not uncommon for these private schools that cater to “athletes” to have academic issues. Like you said, the world has suddenly gone silent on Thon Maker.

  @JayHawkFanToo A little bit. He shouldn’t have said that on air, even if there’s truth to it it’s too touchy. Slaves often weren’t treated as people, but more like cattle. It’s terrible and I’m glad I didn’t have to live through that era. The modern world with very few slaves (outside of NIKE factories) is much better than it’s ever been in man’s history.

  Convincing him to stay one more year can be the difference between a Sweet 16 appearance and a Final Four run out. Wish he would have stayed! He would have had an amazing season next year. Pretty good scouting video. His biggest issue is going too much to the left. He’ll get hedged out of a lot of his scoring opportunities at the next level. He’ll have to learn to score with his right hand, dribble with his right hand, develop faster, better handles and compete with a crossover dribble. He really needed another year to develop some of this. Just hope he figures it out soon. He’s too good a player to not make it in the NBA.

  @BeddieKU23 In recruiting and until the commitment form is signed, it is all speculation…wouldn’t you agree? I have ZERO inside information on this issue so I am just wildly speculating, partly based on what I read and partly is just plain wishful thinking.

  @Crimsonorblue22 Yes their leading scorer Williams had a huge restriction list. I think he’ll end up at Michigan St where he wants to go. Izzo recruited him in HS. Crazy the restrictions he had, makes you wonder how bitter departments are handing these waivers out. I think Uthoff lost only a year of eligibility in the end since he had already red-shirted and sat one to begin with. His situation was really weird and I think Wisconsin basically gave him a free pass after it made ESPN and Bo had to be interviewed about it. But my impression was they lost 2 years.

  @stupidmichael You could certainly be right about the injury effecting his play/maybe even his defense. It certainly could have hurt his jump shot and confidence in shooting. I give you Selden from last year for reference though. Found out to have a bum knee, gets it corrected and is back to full contact within I think a month of so. Had the entire off-season and we hyped that a healthy Selden would perform much better. That certainly didn’t end up being the case. Now we have Greene who is going to miss the entire spring/summer games/practice/individual work on his game that he needed. If his recovery is quicker, the better if it takes him longer its questionable whether he will be any better than his Soph. year. I think its safe to say we need to find another wing or Perry may see a lot of time at the 3 depending on his summer transitioning to that spot.

  @jaybate-1.0 Interesting quote. Timely too, as this is the 150th anniv. of his death.
