The rain sweeping thru Kansas this afternoon is the tears of the rest of the B12. Enjoy your one year folks, we are coming back.
-
Silvio is the best.
-
YES! Biggest 2019 recruit?
-
@BShark
so happy
-
@BShark what do you think the lady from w Virginia would have decided? Hmmm
-
My favorite recent recruit, I was really hoping this would happen. I think he is going to be a legit stud next year.
-
Self is in Australia with his family so he might not even know yet!! Imagine he will be happy waking up to all of those texts.
-
Oh he knows

Hi, everyone! This is worth logging in for! I hope people show some appreciation for the administrators and staff who worked hard on this! Does this give Long some much-needed credibility with the faithful?
But I also wanted to wish all of you in the MW well as you go through all these storms. I hope you can all dodge the tornados. So scaryāI remember those days, but these seem worse. Stay safe.
Thanks to everyone for keeping up the spirit! See you in the fall which I think we all will anticipate with lots of excitement!

Matt Tait had a pretty good take on this - - pretty solid by Matt:
He said - -Worth noting , here in the wake of Silvioās news - -KU missed out on 2019 targets Matt Hurt & JRE BUT found a way to get Udoka and Silvio back for the 2019-20 Season. - - - Advantage - - - - KU - - -Experience and Proven Talent - -canāt really argue with that. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Great news.
Now we should hope that RJ and Wilson arenāt a package deal. Wilson wouldnāt jump here now, would he?
I believe Jalen said he was intrigued by the SF spot at KU. Given his scoring ability and size he would fit that spot in Selfs offense better then any guard coming back. I hope thatās what sells him to come here besides the fact his good friend is likely coming as well. Never hurts to have 2 recruits who have a connection.
-
Late to the party. F yeah!!!
-
@mayjay Thanks for weighing in. Itās good to read your words. We miss you and look forward to your return this Fall. Best wishes for a great summer

Have people been openly against Jeff Long? Iām sure not.
I think he and Self just needed an adjustment period as both are used to being THE BOSS. Itās great having a real AD again, imo.

No info we didnāt already know, but some nice remarks from KT
-
Great news, but wasnāt the timing curious on the NCAA announcement?
When an organization/company/politician wants to make a statement that draws the least media attention, theyāll announce it on a Fridayā¦especially on a Friday before a holiday weekend. Keeps too many folks from asking questions. (āHereās the verdictā¦now weāre outta here!ā)
-
@mayjay miss you! Have a great memorial weekend!
-
I never allowed myself to enjoy the thought of Silvio coming back. Iām glad that Jeff Long got a big win, our program got a big win, and most importantly, that Silvio got a big win. Now I can celebrate, and I am licking my chops thinking of what a front line of Silvio and Doke would do on the boards. Put a 6ā8" Jalen Wilson at the 3, and add an RJ Hampton along with a Dotson, and weāre going to be a complete matchup nightmare for other teams. I really think Silvio is athletic enough to play the 4, and I sure hope heās been practicing his jumper all this time. Weāre going to flat dominate teams on the boards.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
This is the equivalent of landing a Top 10 recruit. We are going to lead the country in rebounding next season.
-
How many of us thought we would have De Sousa and Doke for next season? Iām so happy right now.
-
Big 12 Championship. Silvio take over for Doke and has his best game.
-
@wrwlumpy glad this brought you out! Great day!
-
Can we forget the 4/1 now??
-
Honestly Iām just happy that SDS finally gets a chance to play. Young man definitely deserves it.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Iām really happy too, mostly for him.
-
@HighEliteMajor maybe Silvio can shoot the 3 now?
-
Yepp the post has to be a focus right?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 goosebumps all over!!!
-
Too early to start discussing how Silvo and Doke will coexist when theyāre on the floor at the same time? My hope is that Silvioās secretly developed a trey and the foot speed to guard on the perimeter.

It may not be the perfect 1-2 combo but Self will figure it out. Having 2 legitimate bigs to run offense through makes it easier for him to scheme and develop the team.
-
Weāll just keep getting rebounds until the ball goes through the hoop.
-
Iām absolutely shocked! Good for SIlvio.
-
@BeddieKU23 Itās also going to be real hard for our opponents to score at the rim.
-
Iām not worried because SILVIO! but the bigger question is how weāll guard the 3 with Silvio/Doke both out there.

Never! I think the answer is we donāt really know since he hasnāt played in over a year. I think itāll take some time for them to get going but I think theyāll be terrific. I also think theyāll be on the court together the minority of the time, especially if we get Wilson. Youāll see Silvio a lot at the 5 if Doke gets in foul trouble. The great thing is we can play every style.

@FarmerJayhawk if you donāt see them together where does that leave Big Dave?

A 10-12 MPG guy. But will vary pretty widely depending on matchup. I can see him being the main backup 5 or a non-factor depending on if we play a team that also plays big (Texas?) or small (ISU).
-
Turning those words around, any chance Big Dave leaves?

No way. Heād have to sit out anyway, and heās got a fantastic chance to start as a junior at Kansas, just like he would elsewhere.
-
Right, if he gets recruited over for next year then yes he should leave. In this instance itās just a case of guys returning. Guys that will be gone next year and the path should be clear.
