Hmmm , time to stir the pot. - -Anyone thinking this might bode well for us - - may be something about ready to break? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I definitely see this as a positive.
-
@BShark I said that alreadyš„“

-
@BShark forgot
-
Rj one I think

Oh, so never finding it now then HA.
-
@BShark so why would Silvio turn down a G league invite, no matter what? How do we know for sure he got an invite? Article in kc star. Also, looks like him and his guardian/whatever you call him are still on good terms.
-
He was absolutely invited. He was on previous lists of expected attendants. And well, yeah of course he is.
-
@BShark why wouldnāt he go? Hurt?
-
-
@nuleafjhawk Embiid and DeSousa from the West Coastā¦of Africa.
-
KU now the co-favorite with Memphis for RJ Hampton. Both 43% chance. All 5 āexpertsā today predicted him to go to Kansas.
-
@BShark your opinion?
-
Just a guess. Silvio doesnāt need the G League combine because overseas is the plan. For all we know he got a good offer.
-
@FarmerJayhawk makes sense, guess they heard bad news

While this makes a little sense and still doesnāt hurt him to go to the combine. One would assume his end goal is the NBA and he needs all the reps he can get in front of NBA personnel since they havenāt really seen him play. Live reps would do him some good.
Other possibilities are he injured something or that they are expecting good news on the appeal.
All in all it seems like a odd decision and from the quote I saw yesterday Self acted like it was a surprise to him as well.
-
Thought process is the risk:reward just isnāt there. Itās just G League interest and he can do much better overseas. If he plays well there NBA teams will notice.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Iām not understanding the risk reward reference ā whatās the harm of being at a G-League combine? It does seem like a very odd decision as @Woodrow referenced, barring something definitive (appeal granted, Euro contract) or an injury (which it seems would have been mentioned).
-
If Silvioās agent likes his current offers abroad, there is absolutely no reason to go risk those by going to the combine. He isnāt going to get drafted and the G-League would absolutely still offer him a roster spot.
Imagine he gets absolutely dominated at the combine scrimmage. Or he just absolutely cannot shoot that day. Just as quickly as contracts can get offered they can get rescinded.
-
I think we need to patch up some recruiting spots where we used to act a bit aloof. I would start at Sunshine Christian Academy, in Wichita. We could also improve our image in the Greater KC area. And then there is the AAU circuitā¦
We used to count on mostly just a few prep schoolsā¦ that isnāt feeding us enough players.

Sunrise and Mokan are NIKE.

That makes sense ā¦ I assume thus he doesnāt accept the offers because heās waiting on the NCAA. That would perhaps indicate no decision has been made there that we donāt know about.

@HighEliteMajor Exactly what @Kcmatt7 said

If I were Bill and KU, I would pressure the Hell out of Adidas to go and get Sunrise in the near future. That would be a huge, huge, huge get for us.

Yea tough go at the moment. Nike has itās pull. We got two MoKan guys in two years. Thatās pretty good all things considered.

Not opposed at all to getting a local funnel. Could move kids there and they would get a feel for what Kansas is like.

WSU is now UA and getting players from there.

I mean, good grief, whatās Adidas good for, shoes, equipment, and money?

To be fair, Sherfield isnāt that good at basketball.

If they arenāt at least walking the line on human trafficking, theyāre not doing their job.

Random thought. Does anyone but me want Silvio to come back and start at the 4 (even if itās not the best pure basketball play) just to take out all his frustration on rebounds and rims? Dude is staying in Lawrence because he wants no part of the G League and knows it may be his last few weeks here. If he gets reinstatedā¦ look out.
Between he and Doke, we might want to reinforce the rims at AFH. Those are some grown, angry dudes dunking on them.
-
@FarmerJayhawk me me me!
-
What if and hear me out on this: Bill plays him exclusively at the 5?
Yeah I know I laughed too.
-
@BShark then we wouldnāt get to see Silvio dunk so hard on Matt Hurt it ruins the game of basketball for him forever

Honestly will Hurt ever touch the paint? I guess MAYBE to draw charges for Ratzinger.

A great random thought indeed.
-
Oh I want Silvio back and starting at the 4.
Would it be fun to see us run and fun with 4 guards? Sure.
But Iām ready to see Bill do Bill things again with a full set of 4 athletic bigs.
We land RJ and get Silvio back and we have the most vintage Bill Self roster we will have seen in quite some time.
-
@Kcmatt7 Iād sure like to see another shooter! Iām afraid Dotson (
heās back) shouldnāt shoot more; his 3pt % is good, because heās selective. A shooter that can handle the ball. Tucker? Is a pure spot up shooter available?

Is a pure spot up shooter available?Unless we land Tucker, itās very likely we will struggle to shoot. So we might as well lean into putting out the best offensive rebounding lineup we can lol.

Really feels like this one is a lock, but Iām still a little bit worried.

But, how can I doubt Bill āEnter Sandmanā Self in the Springā¦

EVERYONE STAY CALM OKAY

KEVIN FLAHERTY@KFLAHERTY247 8M UNFORTUNATELY, KANSAS FANS HEARING SILVIO DE SOUSAāS TWEET WASNāT RELATED TO HIS APPEAL CASE, PER SOURCES WILL HAVE TO WAIT A BIT LONGER.
-
Iām with you on the hunger for Silvio to return. I think people would be in for a HUGE SURPRISE on just how much he has improved!
Iād like to also see him at the 5ā¦ when we go for a total speed lineup. His motor is unreal!
