Yet another interesting note: of the 7 teams the Royals played in the postseasons of 14-15, only Houston is not in last, or next to last, place in their divisions.

@DoubleDD

I am pretty sure Wade will be available.

@Statmachine

The Wolves have 4 quality starters in Rubio as PG, Wiggins as SG, Buttler at SF and Anthony Towns at Center; Dieng at PF is a step down. They also have a number of young backups with good potential. They are one quality player away from being a credible contender.

The Sixers have put together a nice collection of young talent with a lot of upside…if only they can stay healthy…

@jaybate-1.0 Coach doesn’t recruit over his players for the most part. He did recruit Doke to start last year over LL, and that process was well on its way before Doke got hurt. We had no minutes to give any top flight guard- can you imagine the team turmoil if he had brought in a player that sent DG to the bench? Mutiny on the Bounty time because the team loves DG. Our big miss was Jarrett Allen. Now, putting aside Allen’s bad haircut and lamb chops, the guy would’ve been nails down low. But Allen wanted guaranteed minutes, and Bill makes his guys earn it. Several of us have openly called for Coach to recruit over a few of our “energy” guys, and he’ll recruit top 30 talent, but he’ll still play the old nag over the top 30 talent. He trusts them more.

"we have elite eight talent. Not sure we have final four talent (I guess that’s what I mean by elite). "

We don’t even have elite 8 talent. The only reason we get that far is Self. Cal would be out the first round and never win an SEC title with our guys.

@KUSTEVE

Agree, 5 stars. It was a fortunate situation for KU where he had somewhat limited exposure and the KU staff had a great relationship with his HS coach. Smart to lock him down early.

Read today where KU had offered 2020 pg Adam Miller 6’3 from Peoria Illinois. Said KU and Illinois were going to be fighting for him over the next 2 yrs lol. - - - - -Rock Chalk All Day Long Baby

Nothing new here. Seems they are insinuating that the Suns said something to Josh to change his mind… But just smoke.

@Crimsonorblue22 thanks for the reminder.

@Crimsonorblue22 Was pretty funny, good thing his career doesn’t depend on baseball lmao - - - -rock chalk all day long baby

@Lulufulu Ahh, heading back before bball season. Yeah, lets do it! I’ have a brother in Charlottesville that I never see enough of, so I’ll see if I can find a time he’s available to get together and then piggy back off that trip. Direct message me and we’ll go from there.

@brooksmd You guys are awful tough on them folks… but it’s true that extended stay criteria can really rake in the coins in “methzurrie”.

KU is an elite program. So sad some fans think the men players should be perfect. OH GOD if they aren’t then they are cursed for life. Hey we fans know. So Players if you do wrong at KU just give up. Quit? You have no chance. Because some of our KU fans know. Don’t fight it, just accept it. They are experts on what is acceptable and not acceptable.

So making a sales pitch to high school women looking for a college basketball career. Come to KU. No really. As some our fans believe that you can come do what ever you want without punishment. You can spit in a persons face. Slam a drink in someone’s face. Hell punch a man in his face and your Golden. If a KU man so much gets angry at any of these actions. Then he has the problem and shows a lack of character of a good law abiding citizen.

So come ladies and play basketball and abuse KU men. Our fans will back your actions.

I’m not sure letting go of Dorsey over Reid is such a no brainer. I like Reid, but to win in the NFL you have to draft. Since Dorsey had arrived the Chiefs talent level has risen. So much they could even win without a great QB.

Reid is a tireless worker, yet I’m not sure he should be calling the shots in the draft. Which I think the releasing of Dorsey does.

10 to 1 I bet the Packers jump on Dorsey. There’s a reason they were upset when he left them for the Chiefs.

Sadly I think the Chiefs took a step backwards with this release of Dorsey.

Man I hope I’m wrong. I love me some Chiefs Football.

Any team with Frank Mason is a team of mine.

As of now, my all-time favorite HEM quote!

I wish him luck, but today’s NBA isn’t built for a guy like Landen. Congrats to him for landing the invite.

There’s a video on the KU basketball Facebook page introducing the new guys and it includes their position and it had Marcus Garrett listed as a point guard. That should be a big sign of what SeIf’s intentions with Garrett are.

It won’t impact Texas because the NCAA can’t afford to give up 3 of their 10 Final Four sites.

@Kcmatt7

Great point. They wouldn’t have thought twice about canceling on a player, but when it happened to them, it has to be a story? Lighten up Ainge, it’s a business remember?
