Wonder if ESPN will show the surgery live on all its networks? lol, so good. Ok, well I hope you’re right obviously. Let’s not bank on having him. Oh yeah, I agree. I’m very happy Dave is around. He’s as good a backup as we could ask for. Also why we need bodies in general. By my count we have 4 scholarships open: Losses: Cunliffe, Vick, Moore, Lawson, Lawson, Grimes Gains: McBride, Braun I don’t feel that good about going into the season with 9 dudes. Whether we start the season with more we always seem to end up with 8 or 9

  @BShark Can only hope there are any of those left. I think Dave is one but his development arc is different

  @approxinfinity The ball movement in ‘08 was phenomenal. It was a combination of ball movement and lockdown D that we haven’t seen since. I’m not sure if any of the stats correlate to ball movement, but to me that was the biggest difference.

  Can Silvio come back? Look how ESPN spins the Adidas signing by putting a player Adidas paid on the cover pic. Fair and unbiased reporting (should be blue)

  BeddieKU23 said: @jayballer73 Thanks for posting. Doke’s ability to play above the rim has a big impact on how the offense can operate. Dunks impact the game and can influence how a team responds on the other side as well. He’s the definition of an easy bucket getter. His size can defer drives to the hoops but it might also have the opposite impact as teams gameplan. You may see teams take even more perimeter shots against KU. Some games that will work for and against us. Hopefully we hear about Silvio soon. A 4 man can thrive in this offense beside Azubuike with the right skills. TJ Holyfield is perfect for this team Oh I agree for sure. - -We saw that against in the Villanova game. That’s a weakness for Udoka for sure , taking him out away from the basket. That within it’self is a bad spot for Udoka offensively and defensively. -I think that is a major point for him for his future in the NBA. - -The New NBA 5 is a 5 that can take it out in the open floor , and again that is not what he does - -that’s why I have my doubts about his future in the NBA. I sure hope we hear something positive for Silvio when it’s all said and done. - -that’s another reason it would of been really sweet if we could of landed Precious - -but looking like that’s not going to happen , or as you say Holyfield. I DO think we have a pretty good shot at Holyfield - -we shall see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  So the return of Azubuike stunts the development of David McCormack. We’ll get 4 years of Dave at least. Still need a PF even if De Sousa returns. TJ Holyfield with his ability to stretch the floor is ideal. Need at least 1 more perimeter player that can shoot. Tucker is the big fish to get and is the biggest need outside of a starting 4 man. Otherwise McBride is going to play a ton as a freshman. He may anyway and is a gifted scorer with the type of game this team needs. If Self picks up two perimeter players that means he doesn’t expect the freshman guards to contribute in a significant way. With Azubuike back you can’t start Garrett. I don’t care how many shots he puts up this summer again that jumper is broken. De Sousa and Azubuike would be the most athletic front court in the country. Not holding my breathe on that happening although its great to dream.

  @BigBad I am pretty confident that Grimes set a KU single season record for charges committed. Just speculating. Never seen anything like it. Low BB IQ was the culprit.

  It was self reported too. So let’s never report anything to the NCAA ever again. Agreed?

  @BShark meant to post this yesterday; the VT faithful are starting to feel less doom and gloomy about Mike Young’s hiring as he builds his staff. Most of their recruits (and players) appear to be staying committed now. Blackshear might even stay.

  I think Auriemma could handle the coaching part of the men’s game. The struggle would be the recruiting side of things. Getting guys to buy into listening to a “women’s coach” could be tough. Recruiting from that angle could be even tougher. That takes nothing away from what Auriemma has done in his career. He’s great. I just don’t know how the players would respond, or if he could get them to commit.

  @kjayhawks the tickets don’t bring that much. The high prices you are quoting are for good seats on the aftermarket. I didn’t want to drive to San Antonio or I could’ve watched the Jayhawks for $60 in 2008. The ncaa doesn’t see any of that money. They make their bank on the tv contract. I think they could make just as compelling tv by getting the best teams in the final four games and crowning a top 4 team as champ. Currently they bank on Cinderella’s, but the glass slipper causes stinky feet after a couple rounds of dancing.

  @chriz “Sending their kids wherever they think is best for them” is funny. Eighteen year old kids aren’t super great at simply doing what they are told because an adult thinks it’s best for them. But certainly parents play an important role in recruiting and they should share praise and blame for when things work out and when they don’t. As humans with brains and consciences they are capable just like the rest of us of making mistakes and letting money talk more than it should.
