    Nothing good has come from having that car so far; second game he will miss because of it. Now KU is REALLY thin inside with Doke and Lightfoot.

    7 scholarship players tonight. Sigh.

    I think we are in real trouble now tonight for sure - -another Bragg/ alexander repeat - -never seen this coming from Preston - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAY



  • Does “clearer financial picture” = how did he get that car?

    Lol exactly. He said it was his car but obviously it wasn’t.



  • KU might legit be rolling 7 deep until Cunliffe can go. Then hopefully add Silvio.



  • Wtf man, we don’t need a repeat of last year, head out ass boys. This just sounds fishy, is it someone else’s car?? Or was he intoxicated??



  • Gotta be kidding, this is unbelievable.



  • Nice to see nothing changes. Duke still is a bunch of flopping losers, the announcers still are all Duke homers, and our bonehead premiere big will be ruled ineligible. Bring it on!



  • Come join us on kubuckets.slack.com for the game guys



  • @BShark I was thinking maybe he had a new Porsche, but had come to campus driving a 2003 Kia.



  • @Blown

    Doing fine. I cut the cable and not miss it at all. I signed up for Sling and giving it a try, I will try YouTube TV next that appears to be a better deal but you need Chromecast that does not have a remote and you have to use your cell phone, a tablet or computer to control it, I like Roku better but not yet supported on YouTube TV, hopefully soon.

    Is this speculation or is info out there?



  • Wow…unbelievable.

    Wow…unbelievable.

    Actually…it’s all too believable… :p



  • Duke just got away with a flagrant; I guess the check to the refs cleared.🤑



  • @JayHawkFanToo I’ve been happy with sling, it is behind by about 10 seconds but if you have decent internet it works great for a fraction of the cost.

    I was asking whether the wording by Self about financial concerns, coupled with not playing Preston, meant they were wondering about how he purchased the car (why keep him out unless to avoid playing a potentially ineligible player?). The illustration was just one of several conceivable scenarios that could be a hint if true.

    All speculation, no info.



  • @kjayhawks

    So far so good but YouTube TV has a lot more sports channels, recorder with unlimited storage and allows 3 simultaneous streams; if not for the lack of support for Roku it would be a no brainer.



  • @BShark I saw where the car may be connected with Scott Pollard? - -so then the question arises well several questions arise - did Pollard give him a car? - that would if true would fall under impermissible benefits right? - Which would cause him being ineligible or dam who knows really screws the team.

    Kentucky going to eat us alive on the boards Doke be in so much foul trouble - this could be ugly. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    That’s a running joke…

  • Maybe he didn’t have insurance



  • @jayballer54 It goes back to some crap on a Missouri forum where they “had proof” that someone had a car from Scot Pollard. I don’t remember the player anymore as this was many years ago.



  • @JayHawkFanToo me, too. cut the cable right after the Oregon game.



  • @Crimsonorblue22 Lack of insurance should not make him ineligible unless it is considered a conduct violation of team rules (disciplinary, not anticipatory eligibility, suspension by HCBS).



  • @JayHawkFanToo what does the YouTube tv cost??



  • Maybe Self will hold tryouts? I’m a little concerned especially if De Sousa isn’t cleared at the semester.



  • kjayhawks said:

    He almost has to now. This really sucks. As of now the suspension is indefinite.



  • Strike 2 on our prize freshman power forward. Bill Self is not messing around trying to baby this kid. If this car thing is not resolved quickly in Preston’s favor the kid might get an extension at the plate for a possible strike 3; but his batting time looks to be running short. The words Personal Responsibility loom ominously. Step up, Mitch Lightfoot! Make the very most and best of this golden opportunity to grow and shine!



  • @BShark we do have a couple of football players that were solid BB playersx in high school to think about.



  • @kjayhawks All hands on deck.

    Wow, just think about how excited they would be going from – well, you know, whatever adjective suits your fancy – to a championship caliber team!



  • BShark said:

    Well I mentioned earlier that Gurley had talked about Self and Calipari being man to man coaches but that Ku might play some zone to stay out of foul trouble. – I think that KU playing zone now is almost a given. - I think this is the only kind of chance we have to even try and stay with UK on the boards and help keep Doke out of foul trouble.

    I’ve watched Uk’S first two games and other then Diallo I haven’t really seen guys that can drain the 3 on a consistent basis maybe enough to pull us out of the zone. - I almost bet you going to see a lot of zone I would think. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @kjayhawks There’s a walk on TE that played JuCo ball and averaged 19 and 10 I think. The kid is 6-7, 260 so he could some game day depth in the paint for Self if needed.



  • Could self possibly have more integrity for sitting him? And could Billy possibly be more of an imbecile? What a colossal dunce. I love our coach for doing what is right no matter what. I hope Doke beats the living sh*t out of Preston after the game.

    Ya they was talking about him earlier in the month - -had an article on him - Coach better have some try outs for sure - -we need a big body to at least spell Doke from foul trouble. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer54 Almost have to run some zone d tonight. Kentucky is not a great shooting team either so maybe it works.



  • @jayballer54 @BShark garret is laughing his way all the way to the scorers table…cuz he gets to check in for more PT since his fellow freshman is AWOL again.

I hope Doke beats the living sh*t out of Preston after the game. Thing is Coach really didn’t have a choice BUT to sit him. - - I agree with you but from what I am hearing and understanding KU wants to get a better financial status on how Billy got the car? - - who’s Car was it? - can’t take a chance and play him and then find out because of this he was ineligible that would not be good,

    I’m so sick and tired of these kids not manning up. they have to realize that it’s not just effecting him - -it’s effecting the team - -man grow up. - -A single car accident - was he Drunk? or other what caused this single car accident I mean Damm. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer54 That is why I want Doke to kick the crap out of him. Selfish pre madonna

    YES exactly, that’s what I mentioned just a couple of minutes ago. - Diallo is the only one that I’ve seen so far that can possibly hit that shot consistently - the others here and there, I bet we see a lot of Zone. - -We have to to try and stay on the Boards - -help to keep Doke out of trouble - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Diallo is a terrible shooter it kept him out of last year’s draft. However anyone can get hot so who knows.



  • @kjayhawks

    $35, a real good deal



  • It appears that Billy drives a Dodge Charger. So, at least a believable vehicle? Hopefully this crap gets sorted soon but I’m not hopeful given that it shouldn’t take long to see who owns a vehicle…



  • @BShark Now to top off this Nighmare - - -Looks like we get to listen to Dickie V all fricken game - -my night is complete - -dam. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer54 Nightmare now is how we are playing…



  • @DCHawker it’s like we forgot how to pass and shoot. Looks like a friggin middle school. So undisciplined.

    We really needed Billy this year. That would really, really hurt. So sick of stuff happening that keeps us from having a full roster. Fortunately, wehave a good chance at de sousa



  • KU shooting 34.2% from the field and 26.7% from 3. Amazing tha KU is ahead shooting this poorly; had the shot close to their average and is a double digit game.



  • If you tuned in at halftime and listened to the announcers, you would think KU was losing by 20.



  • @HawkChamp Awful shot selection - esp. Graham and Newman.



  • This acts like they’ve never been coached the basics. Enough to make you pull your hair out. How atrocious
