    Darryn confirmed out again. At least we know in advance this time. I was offered a ticket to the game and won’t be going now.

    Stinks I was considering going my myself with how cheap tickets looked. This is starting to take a very interesting turn here. Self said he hasn’t practiced this week at all and is still tight. Is he just gonna play in the high profile games and sit the rest of the time? Two weeks in and the season seems F’d already

    I was already expecting this. I’m not down on DP or the coaches. People think whatever they want to think but the truth is he is a very valuable player and we should be cautious.

    I am yet to meet DP, but everything I know of him says he isn’t the type of guy who thinks he’s too good to play in any game. It’s not his style. He’s a competitor and legit guy.

    @drgnslayr lots of rumors flying around right now, which is normal when stuff like this happens. Hearing his team is saying it’s not worth it for him to play in these type of games.

    Who cares if he does sit in meaningless games? Lets be honest, we have a roster full of guys that want to play and can win games for us, more minutes for everyone else, great!

    We dont need things to look like a fairy tale, our goal is to win another championship!

    If he’s hurt, then sit.

    I think we’re all just showing concern with his odd ball level of hurt, and if it’s serious enough to keep him out awhile. Cramps aren’t normal to keep you out games. Hamstring tightness is somewhat normal, but add em up and there’s concern.

    Just watched the Self presser…he did say they don’t think it’s a long term concern. fingers crossed.

    We all should be concerned that the “star player” of the team making millions has only played 1 full game out of 5 (soon to be 6).

    There’s a lot more to say but frankly it’s not worth my time. I’ll root for the players that actually play. Hopefully he will be back soon.

    ya your right lots of rumors, go figure it’s KU . -being saif his camp/ his trainers oe whatevr might have telling Coach rgat they agreed for him to dome to KU play in the har games but wouldn’t take the chance of him playing in meaningless games,

    My question statement would be kinfa weird hadn’t anything before he came to KU about any kinda of problems dealing with cramps or leg issues- - --hmmmm. Watched him play several times before he committed, sure didn t’ miss anytime then again hmmmm

    @BeddieKU23 if we consider value entirely correlated to cost, then DP playing one our of six games feels very unsettling. On the other hand, maybe once the roster has been set and the season is rolling, maybe that is where the monetary valuation crosses the finish line, money was spent to assemble a recruiting class.

    • When one of the first dominoes to fall is the biggest, the others fall with it. That is value.
    • When he wins showcase games, that is value
    • of course when he wins tournament games that is value
    • when he represents Kansas as a succesful pro, that is value

    However, during the season, every player on this team should be evaluated for how much they contribute to this seasons success and maybe also our enjoyment as fans.

    I suggest we put the money out of our minds for a bit. Its there, but the more we the fans, players and staff can watch play and coach for the love of basketball, the better off we will be.

    Of course DP will protect the goods. His value is different from others who may burn brightest at KU, or may find tremendous growth here, or may bleed crimson and blue

    There is room for both kinds of players and value in both.

    Rock Chalk!

    I guess I’m wondering who makes the call on DP? Is this a medical issue that doctors cannot fix? Is it a medical issue that can be fixed but he would need surgery and done for most or all of the year? Is it a nagging injury that limiting his court time is all that can be done until he gets better or not? It’s serious enough to do without his developing along with the team meaning if he only plays in 20 games will there be chemistry problems? Right now it seems to be a day to day thing and he is so special it appears to be magnified.
