Next season...
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 we are pretty much on the same wavelength here. It’s just you never know and it can be tough on kids when they aren’t getting the minutes they hoped for. Bill wanted Tristan to be good, gave him minutes early he just didn’t progress fast enough to be relied on late. I still like him a lot going forward.
-
@BShark so do you think 20-21 will be better than 21-22? Sr. Silvio vs Sr. McCormack So. Braun vs Jr. Braun Fr. Thompson vs So. Thompson Jr. Ochai vs Sr. Ochai. I don’t. I’d also hate for McCormack and Ochai to give up their senior year vs Silvio sacrificing his. (Like I said bummer about Mitch having two senior years wiped out under this scenario) But the way things are going KU will be eligible next season and have the postseason ban in two years. Total bummer.
Forgot about Garrett. Poor guy. Would’ve been a huge difference maker this season. I guess we will see who gets jobbed out of their last year at KU. The NCAA will continue their witch-hunt it’s just a matter of time.
-
I made a NCAA 2k8 (best college hoops game of all time, no debate there, and the good folks at operation sports update most rosters each season) roster with all of the recruits sans Jossell and Doke, Dot. Oh. My. Lord.
-
@dylans it will suck regardless of when it happens but if it will be just one year we probably would be better off taking it next year.
-
@BShark I agree it sucks. I hope KU can win, but I think the NCAA really wants a scapegoat so they can say they cleaned up the sport. Meanwhile it’s business as usual for Nike schools. Wish this could be resolved as quickly as the b-ball season went away!

“He’s good. He’s fast. He’s got the best hands of anybody on our team including Marcus (Garrett),” Self said recently of Harris. “He’s not a shooter but he’s a true point guard. He has vision. All our guys will love playing with Dajuan. He will not be a guy to get you 15 (points) a game,” Self added. “But he’s an excellent free throw shooter, excellent floater and layup shooter and I’m hoping will make wide open shots. I think he will be an impact player for us,” Self added.

Aaron Miles?

Maybe we are underestimating him?

Not me I expect him to be very good here
-
His highlight reels show a very creative player. The kid seems woke. Him, Braun and Garrett is a fantastically smart core of handlers.
-
If you all are aching for hoops (and really, who isn’t?) go back and watch the 2019 Peach Jam final. Kid was amazing.
-
He can’t shoot but he is a good player.

Pre-requisite for playing here

I think we could be better offensively next season but the chemistry and defense of this team may not be seen again for several years. I think each passing day I get angrier and angrier, this is as bad as a death in the family.

Agree with you on the defense. - -have to dis agree about a death in family buddy. - People have no idea what it’s like to have to put your little boy in a grave - can’t agree with you there not even close.
-
@jayballer73 in fairness he just said a death – any death – think a distant cousin.
-
I was thinking more along the lines of the dog died, for a comp. It’s nothing like losing people.
-
@jayballer73 I was thinking not so immediate family. Probably a bad comparison either way this sucks as bad as anything not death related.
-
How will we fill the stands next year after everyone dies of Coronavirus?
…at least that’s how folks are acting. It was normal here yesterday. Then the a group of a-holes from Texas figured out we aren’t all psycho here. So they came up and cleaned out all our stores of cleaning supplies and toilet paper. It doesn’t even give you the squirts.
️ The sheeple are ready for the slaughter all they need is a shepherd to take them there.
-
@dylans I highly doubt there is a mass that big of the people that we lose and obviously hope that’s not the case. There is just so much stuff out there and most of it is opinionated. I still wondering why we cancelled so much stuff besides people working and groves of folks at Walmart.

Not even close to a death in the family.
-
@kjayhawks Its crazy. I still haven’t heard one logical reason basketball could not be played without fans. One group of people that are already fully exposed to one another playing another group of people that are fully exposed. Groups of people that are already being quarantined with their group for the entire tournament and that quarantine could continue afterward.
Meanwhile airplanes with hundreds of people are breathing the same recirculated air and then end up in many different destinations. The subway with 1 million plus passengers a day rages on. Walmart has canceled order delivery so you have to go in the store and has stopped 24 hour service to get everyone in there at the same time. Makes sense to me.
It was cool to see Dana White provide a little live entertainment. The feeling of normalcy was nice.

just not a good comparison - -were talking about basketball compared to Family, but it’s all good - -no harm no foul
-
@dylans that is exactly my point in this whole ordeal. We are gonna keep the athletes most of which are pro safe and celebrities but the average people are supposed to go on as normal with working, etc. I personally would’ve put it in the players hands. Scan all the teams and coaches selected before they are cleared to play and then play in an empty arena. When look at the stuff that NCAA tournament has been played around, stuff like multiple years of polio outbreaks that killed 10 of thousands of children to teams having several players away fighting in wars. It’s a little odd at this point but I’m glad I don’t have to make the decision but probably wouldn’t have cancelled it.
-
Heck of a lot easier to cancel basketball games than an entire industry. We saw an official get it, and possibly spread it to players. What if those players become infected, spread to other players, and go home to be with their families and infect them? It wasn’t safe to hold the tournament, as much as it sucks for players and fans. Just not worth the risk.
-
@FarmerJayhawk the trouble is that they are saying that 40% of the population is infected and probably doesn’t even know it. Some people are wondering if they did have in January. We had a sickness at work that sounds like Coronavirus and we were all tested for flu, strep and pneumonia but all were negative. But we all were tired and coughing for 3 weeks. It’s just crazy right now with how little actual info there is.

Yeah this is a pretty weird virus. You guys might have had it…might not… we need more info in general about it.
-
Turns out the tests haven’t been 100% reliable either. There’s on-going work to improve that, but it contributes to the confusion and controversy over numbers and rates…

I don’t think anyone’s saying that’s absolutely going to happen. It’s all based on projections, and some of those are from the data we had weeks ago and a scenario where we did nothing.
I agree there’s significant uncertainty, which makes caution all the more prudent.
-
@kjayhawks I was sick in January for a week straight, and now i’m wondering if it was covid… joint pain, coughing, but no fever.
-
@Eric-san yep same story with us, coughing, tired and sore, but no fever.
-
Well here is another thing with the virus. - -It has been said that some even a lot of people will have such a mild case, say they go in and get tested - they said that the test will come back negative ! ! ! - -and yet they ARE infected , just such a mild case it doesn’t show, so their infected and can go out and spread the virus thinking they tested negative , what the hell do they do - - - they have to be tested a 2nd time ?
-
@jayballer73 yup. see above comment about tests. It is what it is. Nothing is perfect, and these have a ways to improve.
-
Lol thought everyone could use a laugh.

This year, Kansas played its final game of the 2019-20 season on March 7, 2020. It was a 66-62 victory at Texas Tech.
It’s now March 15 – just 8 days later – and I feel something is missing. Seems like a feeling I haven’t felt for a long long time.
So I did a little research: When was the last time KU finished its season on or before March 7?
Even in 88-89, when we were banned from the NCAA tournament, we still competed in the Big Eight tourney on March 10, 1989.
You have to go back to March 2, 1982 when the 1981-82 season ended in a loss to KState in the first round of the Big Eight tournament.
HARDER QUESTION: When did we end the season with a WIN on or before March 7?
Back a bit farther to the 1975-76 season when we finished with a victory at Oklahoma on March 6, 1976.
I was in 5th grade. The planet had about 4.1 billion people. Billboard’s number one song was “Love Machine” by The Miracles. Median US income was $12,690.
-
@dylans I love Carlin, his skit on politics is spot on.
-
The NCAA was saying they didn’t have kits to test players, families etc. That’s one of the reasons I’m seeing
-
@jayballer73 said in Next season...:
what the hell do they do - - - they have to be tested a 2nd time
That is why most effective quarantines for this require 2 consecutive negative test 24 hrs or more apart to be released. They didn’t do that when the US hastily flew the passengers back from Japan who had been aboard the Diamond Princess. That resulted in some who later were revealed to be positive being on the plane.

Ok more humor for you. True story - My friend, who works in Philadelphia at a paper plant that makes toilet paper for a major brand (Scott’s I think), says when he returned to work on Monday the bathrooms had no paper.
-
Educators, free to use this as a nice example of a run-on sentence. It’s probably three well written sentences in one.
-
@dylans lol that’s fantastic.

@kjayhawks “I think we could be better offensively next season”
I just wish we could find a guy that shoots about 75% from the field…
-
@nuleafjhawk doke like?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Nah - 75% from THREE !! Lol
-
@nuleafjhawk Man…uh…Woman - I am totally flustered by the whole NCAA Tournament Cancellation thang - I was about 98% sure the trophy was ours this year. Would have loved to have watched the run.
-
@nuleafjhawk so bad you r talking to yourself! You able to go to work?
