This list is a joke right?? Joel Berry FF MVP, back to back FFs and ACC regular season titles is at 19? wow. The Porter guy thats going to the black hole known as Fizzou is #2 and the tripping sensation Allen at #1. No Newman? Newman is my sleeper for B12 POY. Doke could easily be a lottery pick with a solid season next year as well. ESPN go home you’re drunk!!

Well when you can most of your good writers…

Am I the only one who doesn’t get the least bit excited for preseason polls especially ones in May? We are are Kansas, we are preseason top 10 just about every single season and they seldom predict who actually wins the NC anyway. Not to sound rude but I dont care about rankings outside of the one released in april after the games are done.

@nuleafjhawk Yeah man, no judgement on your views.
One more time though, I gotta poke at it. wink Mario Chalmers, went pro a year early, got his jersey hung. He will always be legendary at KU

@JhwkrRedLegs Actually not a bad idea. I’m not a football fan by any means but I’m actually intrigued by KC Chiefs in what they did this off season in the draft. I might actually follow them a bit more closely. doubt I’ll watch any games unless Mahomes appears to be the second coming of Brett Farve.

@AsadZ Thanks for the update. I always look for KU football news, but it’s hard to find this time of year.

The big drama will be if Lonzo gets passed up (initially) in the draft, going a bit later than expected. Daddy Ball will squirm. Lonzo will look his usual stone faced self.

Balls to the Wall. Accept whats coming, daddyB.

Frank, Jayhawk nation will always be here for you! Will always be pulling for you.

@Texas-Hawk-10 The Spurs are set at point guard … as news today that they may take a run a Chris Paul. Just information.

@JayHawkFanToo I’m pick Alonzo Trier for NPOY with Miles Bridges as his main competition.

Interview with Slater, the best in the business.

All I have to say is Adidas better come through with this one or its time to bail

Grimes talking about KU and Self. Positives…

We don’t need to discuss who will make the final list yet, but can you talk about the message of some of the bigger programs?

Sure. Coach Self called and said I’m a top priority and that he plays a lot of guards and sees me bringing in something different than the other guards, because of my size. He said their known now for their guards, but that I would be unique because of being able to play point guard at that size.

Was hopping on to post this.

I will also add he plans to cut his list to 5 within a few weeks. So it looks like he should be an early period signing.

@JayHawkFanToo Amen.

@drgnslayr I have a friend that is a couple of years older than me that was getting D1 looks back in his playing days. He says a lot goes on behind closed doors, escorts, cars and money. He ended up going to a junior college because he didn’t have the grades and said they gave him a car to come but it was basically done bye a booster’s friends friend type deal with no paper trail. I think Self stays within the rules most of the time but you know some of these guys getting paid. Its like the movie blue chips, if you ain’t paying these days you ain’t getting the top guys.

Yeah the big thing is he has been able to run this whole time. Better cardio/stamina so he can actually stay on the floor and give great effort.

@jayballer54 Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Congrats, Devonte!

@dylans

I’m not doubting they hate on him NOW.

I’m doubting they will hate on him when he is hanging Ws and championships for THEM.

@justanotherfan Nah, the way things work is we’ll play Mizzou when they have their best team since 2012 and we have our worst. Should have been kicking their a**es the last five seasons. Sure, we’ll play A&M and Nebraska and Colorado, but not MU. We just gave away five thumpings of our most hated rival. But we’ve enjoyed our pacifiers.

While Garret is projected to be a SG in college, he played PG in HS and from the tape I have sen of him, it appears he can play PG reasonably well. I can see him playing PG when Graham is resting, 8-10 mpg?

I hope so. If he can handle a secondary ball handling role that makes it easier to give Newman and Graham breathers.
