Go Christian Garrett, make your 1st and last Start counts! RCJH!

I was wrong to occassionally visiting the other site and hope the bickering will stop.

I was wrong to think that all the 22K users here are real. And, to be told that most are Spambots.

I will be wrong later to think that we can’t win it all. Haha! RCJH!

Like this from Pat Forde:

Best Case: After a perfunctory punking of New Mexico State, the Jayhawks tell Wichita State, “Careful what you wish for.” Kansas beats down the uppity Shockers, putting them back in their place for the foreseeable future. In the Sweet 16, Bill Self’s hammer-it-in offense mauls Notre Dame inside to set up a date with Kentucky. Cocky after beating Kansas by 32 in November, the Wildcats aren’t ready for the challenge of a drastically improved team. Jayhawks don’t shoot 20 percent this time, battle admirably inside and Bill Self hands John Calipari another soul-crushing NCAA tournament defeat. Not finished there, Kansas marches into the Final Four and beats Wisconsin and Duke to win it all. Self signs 20-year contract extension and all underclassmen stay in school. Meanwhile, Iowa State loses early and Kim Anderson is still the coach at Missouri.

@wrwlumpy I may actually make the trip since I am on this part of the world. Anyway, it has been fun. It has been great to have all of you on this board to make this season memorable. There are many great basketball concepts and observations that will stick for years to come. I hope we will keep this place warm. Thank you all. RCJH!

I would like to take a moment here to thank the creator of this wonderful site and the posting culture that collectively fostered by the posters here. Just visited the other site on this same subject. OMG, all the bitter bickerings just turned me off. Cheers to Kubuckets!

Lost of a great KU alum. Once a Jayhawk always a Jayhawk.

@Crimsonorblue22 I am happy with the result but I don’t like the taste. We must take care of our own business!

I try to recall last year and compare to what we are at now. Last year, at 22-7, we lost Embiid and we have PG issue and also Wigs did not always bring his A game. This year, we “lost” Cliff at 22-6, we don’t have a PG issue, we have Ellis bringing his A games lately. Both years, Jamari is about the same, Seldon is not much an upgrade.

Therefore, position to position, I think we are better with Mason at 1 and better with Devonte as his backup. Don’t think Mason’s handle was better than Devonte now.

We still have Seldon at the 2. Slight upgrade.

At the 3, we have Oubre and Greene. Are they better than Wigs combined? This is a big question.

At the 4, we still have Ellis. A much improved Ellis.

Without Embiid and without Cliff, we have Jamari. Even at the 5.

So, looking at the above, I like the prospect of the current team better than the prospect of last year team as much was built around Embiid off late. I personally think we can do better than last year. RCJH!

@Crimsonorblue22 This is what troubles me. NCAA is not protecting its member schools. NCAA only punishes its member schools for something that they have no weapon against. It is ridiculous!

I guess ISU knew now how does it feel to be somebody else’s Super Bowl! And, we have plenty of such experience. If we get thru NMS and WSU get thru IND, it will be their Super Bowl in 2+ decades. Thank goodness we are used to seeing those hungry eyes and eager bodies! RCJH!

When i combed through the regular media, ESPN, SI, Rivals.com, even USAB.com, i was suprised why USA Men Basketball in WUG is not covered! On USAB.com, the Women’s Team making the Gold Medal round is on the front page.

Not sure why that is the case? Maybe it is the Jersey’s decision that resulted in this. Anyone has any idea?

In my opinion, I think if it is the “JerseyGate”, it should be on the Coaching Staff and not “penalize” the young Americans who have played so well for their country.

@Bosthawk Coleby will sit a year. Jamari and Hunter are fine, they will be gone when Coleby is eligible to play.

@Crimsonorblue22 I think he plays multiple hands. This kind of self reflection is good PR.

Well, I think he is directing to his 2016 targets in view of the mounting failure to stack his 2015 recruits. If he is able to stack again in 2016, I bet he will come up with a new name for the playing time sharing scheme (which is named Platoon this year).

Must say that the guy is good at what he is doing.

Hurt (KSU): Hey! Is that Embiid?

Ibeh (Texas): Nay. I played Embiid before. That is not him. He is in the League now. The guy is Thon. Coach Smart told me I have to play him smart because this guy is smarter than Smart.

Rico (BU): He is not Thon, he speaks a very foreign sounding language. Coach Drew told me he is over rated and he only Drew fouls. They call him Shake (Cheick).

McKay (ISU): Tell me about it, he Cheick (checks) me everywhere, I can’t Cheick (shake) him loose all day long. Coach Hoiberg told me that I have to “bypass” him. I don’t know what that means, maybe his operation got into him.

@ZIG Total agreement. In this site, we can relax and enjoy the Buckets Gurus’ takes on next year’s line up, potential, and what other pieces we need. I just love this site so much more. We always move on and forward! RCJH!

Wow! Bickerings going viral on the other site over a Great Signing! I just love KU Buckets! RCJH!

Congratulations to Ellis! RCJH!

@truehawk93 In the espn article mentioned he brought three schools to final four and two were vacated later.

What make them think the third one will be legit!

This is something I cannot understand. If what he does for UK now is to be found with fouls, such induction will be a joke.
