FBI...here we go

Meanwhile in Arizona: https://tucson.com/sports/arizonawildcats/basketball/board-of-regents-will-meet-thursday-to-discuss-arizona-wildcats/article_9d22c948-dc8f-11e8-9ba8-0faacc4e98c7.html

Nothing to see here but PR duty
-
I’d bet they conclude that he is too expensive to fire.
-
No way they fire him with that recruiting class coming in. I agree with @BeddieKU23 this is nothing but a PR move.
-
Oh they won’t fire him, I just think their board of regents meeting is hilarious.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t a meeting at all, just an announcement that a meeting will take place with fluff and peanut butter

I’ll take Silvio being done over losing even more from NCAA in some future ruling. Hopefully this is the end. However it’s going to hurt recruiting for a season or two. Self and company need to go the prep school route and grab some more Masons and Devonte types.
I have a very strong feeling your gonna get your wish. - I just think really strong that Silvio has touched the KU floor for the last time as a player.
However on the recruiting front - -this class of 2019 yes it’s looking like it, However the following year I’m not that sure. All you have to do is look at Arizona/Louisville . - -They got hammered when this 1st came out from a recruiting standpoint. - Louisville - lost all their recruits and Lost Pitino . Old stumpy took a major hit too , sure they kept Ayton- -that while ordeal O think is still up in the air–yet to come - -but BOTH have came back this year the 2nd year and both have had really GOOD recruiting yrs for 19.- -No reason to believe KU won’t do the same thing. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If we don’t find another big, I think we probably need to look at taking a transfer or two.
maybe a stud Juco

Don’t underestimate the Ivory Tower folks.

@jayballer73 I’ll buy you a beer if KU signs a JUCO basketball player, not happening.
-
@BeddieKU23 @BShark I am shocked at both of you in thinking the Regents meeting is useless. They are getting together to collect their shares of the rest of the money that has not been accounted for.

I knew I forgot the most important part of this. I’ll do better next time

Not saying it WOULD HAPPEN I said COULD it happen. - -really not a whole hell lot of difference between a post grad transfer-OR A REALLY good Juco stud. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I think there is actually. I can’t think of a JUCO player that has had a huge impact for a good team recently. Self hasn’t went that route in a long time.

@BShark I remember a pretty good Juco player -not even from a really good program that just gave KU fits. - -Juco from Iowa State had some really big games against us - can’t remember his name but did quite well I think
-
@jayballer73 Donovan Jackson maybe? He was okay.
Shakur Juiston ended up being a total stud for UNLV, but he is definitely an exception. When I look at even the top 10 JUCO prospects any given year, most end up doing next to nothing in D1. It’s a real crap shoot.
-
@BShark No buddy it wasn’t him-- this guy was like I think if I remember right it was like 2-3-possibly 4 years ago - - like maybe a hght range around 6-6 - -6-5 maybe - could really stroke it from the outside when he was hot - could even play inside - just can’t remember

Can’t think of a player that fits this description that was a JUCO. Ejim, Kane, Nader and Burton were all HS guys. Well, they all transferred to ISU, but they were HS to another D1 college to ISU. Except for Ejim, he was HS to ISU.

I know UNLV isn’t considered a good team but Juiston is a really good Juco.

Donovan Jackson?

No dam can’t remember his name - -I hate that lol

Dustin Hogue?

Dam I looked it up - -and admit I THINK I was wrong. - 'I’m now thinking after looking at previous rosters. this name just stuck out
. It was Deonte Burton like 6’4 - -240 lbs. but he wasn’t a Juco - -played at Marquette then Iowa state. - -If I remember right - -he was just a very solid guy that could stroke it and even play tough at times inside. - he stroked us pretty good a couple of times I think - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Correct, he was not a JUCO.

lol, ALSO correct he spanked us some times to lmao

After a while… this all starts to sound like the 9/11 and moon landing conspiracy stuff.
The basketball world can’t even accurately predict where star recruits will go after the recruits narrow it down to 2 or 3 schools.
This stuff starts hurting my brain so I focus on our season ahead.
-
@drgnslayr It’s game Day! Who cares about HS basketball today? Not me!
-
Or how about those Shockers! Edging out a home win against a D2 school!
-
@drgnslayr I am soooo ready for the regular season to begin - -soo dam boring , finally getting here - - recruiting for next year is bumming me out - - this dam FBI thing is bumming me out - - - -Duke – Kentucky - - bumming me out - - and Jay wright? - - Villanova? - -at this point can just plain kiss my a - - - - - SOOOO with that being said – let me ask you this -Are you READY - -for some KU BASKETBALL? - - you know what I’m trying to say? - I’m trying to go kina like the theme for like they - -Are you ready for some football - -A Sunday Night football lol - - ya like that.
So let’s do this. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

They are in for a world of hurt. – long season , old Marsha won’t be looking so good now. - -their little run is about to come crashing down - -lmao - -
Now like Larry the Cable Guy says - - I don’t care who you are that right there is some funny shit - -I don’t care who you are lmao – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
This is most assuredly a rebuilding year for GREGGGGGGGGGGG. They had a million kids leave after last year. They need better class spacing. But a couple of their FR will be good in time. Wouldn’t shock me if next year they are fighting for an NCAAT bid.
-
If the Board of Regents has done its due diligence, they have already done an evaluation of the program and have had a bean counter study the pros, cons and cost of keeping versus firing Miller. In the end, it comes down to money.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I would not be so sure that this will come down to money. Integrity continues to mean something, though to a lesser extent than some may prefer. If he’s a liar and a cheat, I think that combo will be lethal to his career at AZ. I tend to think you can get by just being a cheat, but if you lie about it, that’s a huge consideration.

Hey man…we got some basketball coming up. In the nearly famous words of Juan Ibarra…" Mr. Comer, are you eggg-cited?"

Guy knows where all the bodies are buried. Exhibit A of the underlings of College Basketball
-
Jordan Hamilton, Avery Bradley, Corey Joseph, Tristian Thompson, LaMarcus Aldridge, Damion James, DJ Augustine, etc.
Nike tried to gift the man a NC.
At least a dozen Top 50 recruits sent his way between 2006-2010. Add in a few guys ranked right at 100 who panned out, and Rick Barnes still didn’t get a single of those absolutely stacked teams to a FF. TJ Ford carried him to his one and only. No wonder Nike soured on him and cut him off in 2013. Ten solid years of players gift wrapped and nothing to show for it.
-
@Kcmatt7 Nailed it. Looks like Shaka could crash and burn in similar fashion.
-
I agree. Texas has had as many or more NBA caliber players than KU during Barnes tenure and nothing much to show for it. Even Smart has continued to get top players and has done even worse; I bet UT fans are wishing Barnes never left.

Nike still pumping kids to them as we’ve talked about. Allen/Bamba the most recent outliers there
-
@BeddieKU23 Yep. Texas is a big brand. It’s kind of remarkable they haven’t been more of a threat to KU for league titles.
-
Texas has always been, is and always be a football school first and every other sport a distant second.
-
My point is they have had players. If they had a better coach in that time frame maybe they take the league a few times…
-
The FBI gave the NCAA permission to start investigating schools tied to the FBI trial. Resolution for Silvio on the horizon? Penalties for KU?
Hold my beer, check back in April
