Okay… call me a cynic… but it sure looks like KU went to efforts to block out the lower part of the chairs so we can’t see which guys are standing on tiptoes. Perhaps part of the known “gotcha” concerning “KU inches.”
Zoom in on the photo and look down at the bottom of the chairs.
@jaybate-1.0 - please, file this in your ongoing investigation of ShoeCos… you never know, but perhaps they “advise” their schools.
-
@drgnslayr you thinketh to much! KU does not care.

USA TODAY POLL HAS US RANKED 5TH

Question: Why does Bill Self look so relaxed and happy in this picture?
Answer: He is flanked by 4 seniors and three of them are going to play big minutes.

Nice glean.
And hypothesis.
Hopefully an investigative sports journalist will investigate “advise” one day.
There would likely be a email trail of it.
-
@drgnslayr My eyes tell me that no one is standing on tippy toes. Look at the reflections on the floor. Because it is so shiny, you can clearly see the reflection of each player. Nothing there. Sorry man.

I’m sure you are right!
-
Does our Diallo situation hurt us in early polls?
-
Bragg looks the tallest of them all.
-
Where are the manners with these guys?
One lady and they make HER stand!!!
-
Not bad. 3 Big 12 teams in the top 8 and 5 in the top 23…still the toughest conference from top to bottom.
-
Manning getting big minutes?
-
Not sure what you are referring to here.
I wrote three of four would get big minutes.
I thought it would be mastering the obvious to mention Evan was not likely to be one of the three.
-
The emoji at th end of my post should have been your clue. I was just trying to spare you from having @HighEliteMajor beatch-slap you for suggesting big minutes for Jamari.

Kansas Again! Jayhawks Picked To Win 12th Straight Title
October 15, 2015
As has been the case each of the last four years, Kansas is the preseason choice to win the Big 12 men’s basketball regular season championship. The Jayhawks were a unanimous selection and are the favorite for the 14th time in conference history overall.
KU will have four starters back from a squad that recorded its 10th consecutive season with 25 or more victories. Senior Perry Ellis will lead the squad after being the only player in the conference in the top 10 in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage. The Jayhawks will be looking to earn their 27th straight NCAA bid - which would match North Carolina (1975-2001) for the all-time tournament record.
Oklahoma, which has finished second in the league in back-to-back seasons, was picked second and also has four starters back. The Sooners will be led by reigning Big 12 Player of the Year Buddy Hield, who topped the conference in scoring in 2014-15 and ranks 15th all-time at OU with 1,366 points. Iowa State, winner of the last two Big 12 postseason crowns, was chosen third and earned the other first-place vote. The Cyclones also return four starters and will be led by new head coach Steve Prohm.
Texas and Baylor were next at fourth and fifth. The Longhorns and new coach Shaka Smart also have four starters returning. The Bears will be led by All-Big 12 First Team choice Rico Gathers along with Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year Taurean Prince. West Virginia placed sixth in the poll after leading the nation in steals a year ago.
Oklahoma State was seventh, while K-State, TCU and Texas Tech rounded out the preseason rankings. Since the Big 12 began competing as a 10-team league in 2011-12, every team picked eighth in the preseason poll has gone on to earn a NCAA bid (four consecutive seasons).
The Big 12 was the No. 1 conference in the nation in the RPI a year ago and returns four of five All-Big 12 First Team selections for the first time in league history. Six of the top nine Big 12 scorers from 2014-15 will play again this season after nine of 10 teams were ranked or received votes in the top 25 a year ago.
The Big 12 will hold its preseason media day on Tuesday, October 20 at Sprint Center in Kansas City - site of the 2016 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship. Live coverage will be available at Big12Sports.com.

Think of my response as doing the same for you.

If you say so…:)

@Crimsonorblue22 Vick has hair that is approaching Kevin Young status.
Lucas is 6’10…Looks like Bragg is too. We know Svi is legit 6’8. Diallo looks every bit of 6’9.
-
-
Vick’s hair reminds me of a young Little Richard.
-
Having Aaron Miles on that bench will make us better, whatever he will be able to do for the team. He is the Kansas all-time assist leader, two time all big 12, two consecutive Final Fours.
Have lunch with the guards every day.
