Tennessee new #1 tomorrow?

Wont be ku

That had an impact

Why did Grimes sit the last 10 minutes?

approxinfinity said:

@BeddieKU23 yeah pretty much. These guys keep talking about Doke. Is his absence really a factor here?

I don’t think so. It’s a lack of effort issue and missing shots.

Was that Vicks 1st attempt? He passed opportunities earlier.

He bricked a ten footer earlier

Pathetic

Pathetic effort on that rebound

Few good plays by Grimes and Charlie. Then we forgot

Yeah we suck so far

Lol at vick

Seton Hall Kentucky was a great game. Powell shot out of his mind. Washington looked like a legitimate nba talent and Johnson made some clutch shots including a half court one to end regulation to send it to OT. Oh and Kentucky lost. What a day

@Kcmatt7 Bank records of course only document what is deposited and withdrawn, not cash that is not deposited as we know. Hard to believe this dude put it in the bank. If I’m the investigator, bank records don’t mean much in this situation when looking for wrongdoing – meaning the absence of the transaction is of little value. Of course, bank records can hurt, too, if money was deposited. There it would be value, but not what you’re assuming. I guess my point is if there was no transaction(s), and investigator, that wouldn’t mean anything to me.

@BeddieKU23 We know this dude is a snake. My question is whether Silvio would just be flat ineligible. If not, give us a suspension. What other info is need. Heck, if I were KU, I’d ask the NCAA to assume he got the UA money and the $2500, and then tell me the suspension and conditions (payback or whatever) and be done with it. If he’s just determined ineligible in with those facts, then I’d want to know that too.

Maybe they have … that makes more sense to me. Coming up with the $22,500 could be the issue. I don’t know. I’d chip in a grand to help pay it back – but then I’d get a fraud charge, right? But only if the prosecutor deems it important enough to charge.

I tend to agree he’s a snake. I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt but I just have a hard time believing he couldn’t have settled this situation for Silvio already, or at least given information that would have helped the situation one way or the other. Which leads my mind down the rabbit hole in regards to the other player this Guardian is involved with, Bruno Fernando, a Soph at Maryland which ties that whole payment fiasco together in some way. The alleged 60k and 20k payback all tie this together. What if providing info for Silvio ends up costing Bruno his eligibility as well because of this guardian. So I wonder how much a role that plays here. Why give up both eggs in the pot if you can keep one payday alive. I honestly have no idea if I’m on the right path or not but that’s what crosses my mind in regards to this whole thing.

I think KU is in the appeal stage already and usually we don’t hear about anything regarding that until resolution is near or something pops up in the media that puts it out in the open. Maybe the NCAA is still looking for info/waiting for info/searching for info etc but enough time has passed that I think we are beyond that. Silvio has already sat 7 games and 2 exhibitions so at this point no matter the actual dollar amount he’s responsible or going to be held accountable for he’s getting close to losing half a season. At some point and maybe that’s already passed, Silvio will have de-facto missed more time then he should have without an official ruling. It would be nice to have closure here, for once.

Brutal. What a talent. I’ll reserve further judgement to see what details come out

Knowing Duke was crootin’ him hard too makes you wonder, would he have gotten that Rolls Royce house in the burbs next to Zion??? Confucius says YES

@justanotherfan

I’m almost positive after Benjamin refused to do a pre-game workout with his rookie QB one week was the final straw for him in Buffalo. I believe he was brought to Buffalo by someone who used to work in Carolina and was apart of the process that got Kelvin drafted in Carolina. I also believe that person was already fired in Buffalo which really left Kelvin on an island with the organization. He wasn’t motivated to be in Buffalo from the start however and some lingering knee issues have also kept him from being the player that he once was.

Motivation for Kelvin has always been an issue though. Jimbo Fisher had issues with him at FSU early in his career and it wasn’t until that breakout season with Winston did he realize his potential. Then he did the right thing going pro and capitalized on his momentum. Carolina was a good spot especially early then his ACL injury really messed with him. He lost his mom around that time and I think with Kelvin its been easy to fall off the wagon a bit. There was that one off-season he was criticized heavily for being out of shape. I hope KC can help him, he needs it or he might find himself out of the league

@mayjay

I find myself disinterested in fb recruiting a lot of times because there seems to be zero loyalty in this whole process. It’s a business, of course, and both sides recognize that fact. The resources that College Football coaches get for recruiting must be borderline insane. Having followed the fb recruiting scene for years as my favorite team (not KU) is always knee deep in crootin’ you see all highs and lows of a program daily, monthly, yearly. There are people who have jobs just reporting recruiting news, its big business.

@mayjay

Mahomes is definitely the type of QB that can make his playmakers better. Kelvin enters into a system that he should be able to thrive in but he’s done a ton of damage to his reputation over the past few years and really hasn’t shown the type of play that will get him any significant snaps for the Chiefs. I hope this is the change he needed. It’s been brutal watching him spiral, especially as a fan of his. I have his Panthers Jersey hanging in the Man Cave

Let’s hope we get Dotson for 3 seasons at least… we have been spoiled lately with frank and Devonte

3 season’s would be great but we are going to be lucky to get more then 1.

Big fan of Benjamin from his College to early pro days. Getting this kid to stay motivated has always been an issue. He had one great year in College with Winston and went pro after. Besides two good years with Newton shadowed around an knee injury he hasn’t been the same since and absolutely resented being traded to Buffalo. If KC has some magic on motivation he’s a good weapon to have for Mahomes. Being in the playoffs should keep him occupied

@Kcmatt7

I agree that his guardian could clear some things up for Silvio. The more time that passes makes you think he hasn’t. And the only one suffering from this is the kid he’s supposed to be helping.

Sorry — but (sic) ‘escape-goat’?

Yes indeed

approxinfinity said:

I’m curious, is flipping commits a common acceptable practice in college football?

Unfortunately yes. It’s out of hand

Not surprised we are circling back to Achiuwa. Big fan of him, just wish he came without baggage (handler’s etc)

Great player. Heard he isn’t interested in college ball.

He could always pull a Ben Simmons but Self wouldn’t let that fly.

Gorilla72 said:

@BeddieKU23 - 247Sports shows us as “cool” interest. Dunno if that’s cool from KU or Enaruna…

They just entered the discussion for him so if KU can gain some traction that would change

jayballer73 said:

FarmerJayhawk said:

Enaruna is a legit possibility.

Who is - - -THAT? never heard of him

Top 100 SF, 6’8 very athletic Euro player that is finishing high school ball in the US. Very intriguing option. Could possibly be a small ball 4 if put on 20 pounds

Gonzaga played to their ceiling against Duke. I watched the game last night and it seemed they got a little tight late. Of course they are shorthanded right now and Washington made plays to get back in it.

Kcmatt7 said:

@BeddieKU23 Right. He probably got paid to go there. But once Shaka is out, I’d bet he’s fair game again.

Yeah and FSU went elsewhere after being out-bidded for him so if Shaka did get canned it would be interesting to see how that plays out as the incentives in play for him to still go to Texas would be hard to pass on, especially for others in his camp

Kcmatt7 said:

If I were betting now, the most likley 2019 player we land is still Kai Jones. After Shaka finally gets the overdue boot.

Knowing what I know about his situation I would disagree but crazier things have happened

@justanotherfan

Really good points and probably spot on about Grimes.

@JayHawkFanToo

I know Moore will make shots and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the best 3 point shooter on this team with the roster we have. He needs to start hitting them, especially the wide open one’s. I would like to see him look for teammates when he drives to the hoop as well. You see shades of freshman Frank in his decision making on those drives.

BShark said:

The big 12 suuuucks this yr.

Not so fast as Lee Corso says. I forgot K-St as well. I think with KU’s struggles/doke’s injury this team will be in a dogfight for the Big-12 Championship. I don’t think we have shown yet that we are capable of running away with anything. We’ll see if that changes in a month and the Nova/ASU games will tell us more about this teams identity and where its going moving forward

@Barney

I don’t recall any recruits being here the past week.

BeddieKU23 said:

The reality of Moore is, he’s the same guy he was at Cal. He’d be valuable in the rotation if he could hit open 3 point shots. So far his 3 ball looks about as good as Garrett’s. I believe there will be games that his spark plug offensive style will help us

I definitely thought he would be better than this from three.

He is a better shooter then he’s shown. I’ve just been surprised how badly he’s missed some of these shots. He has a lot of value in the rotation if he can make 35-40% from 3.

Charlies 3 point shooting form = Doke’s free throw form.

Ouch, but agree

BShark said:

Has Chuck seen a shot he doesn’t like?

Chuckie has watched Kobe video’s apparently

NCAA announced no penalties for any programs tied to FBI trial until after Final 4.

Hate to mess up Duke in any way shape or form.

I’d love to pile on Duke but this has much more to do with Kansas. We are fortunate what could be a banner season won’t be impacted until its over, at least

@Kcmatt7

I definitely agree we need a big, not just any, one that can start at minimum. We need multiple bigs really because I can’t imagine Silvio gets to play here anymore. Unless we somehow gain traction with a top 2019 recruit hopefully there are some graduate transfers worth getting in the spring.

And we better pray to every basketball god Dotson sticks around after this year because the way he’s playing he’s going to have a tough decision by seasons end.

TCU has Fisher & Noi back. They got a road win at SMU last night and I’d be surprised if they don’t look like a Top 25 team going into conference play. Iowa St, Tech, TCU will be the 3 that can challenge KU this year. OU looks improved as well and probably is better then Texas at this point.

@Kcmatt7

Bamba landed at Texas because of his relationship formed with Shaka. It does happen.

Look at Duke’s recruiting edge with K coaching NBA superstars from time to time.

The FBI impact has killed any advantage Self could have gained from coaching USA ball this past summer. I highly doubt JRE goes to Nova without the trial. Hurt will go elsewhere as well because of this.

Update on Matthew Hurt. He took his visit to Kentucky.

Where do you go from here? I’m going to take an official visit to UNC, not this weekend but the weekend after for UNC vs Gonzaga which is the 15th of December. Then I’m going to take an official visit to Duke in January for the Duke vs Virginia game, whichever weekend that is and then I’m going to visit Kansas in February I think.

Feb 2nd vs Texas Tech or Feb 16 vs West Virginia fit his February visit talk.

What do you say about the perception that Kansas is out in front for you? Most people are saying that because I played for Self at USA in June but I mean I don’t have a leader right now, everyone has the same chance so I would put them overtop of anybody, people can think whatever they want but everyone has the same chance right now.

Sounds just like JRE, doesn’t want to be tied to KU…

approxinfinity said:

Actually I just looked at Duke’s non con and its much better than years past. High ceiling, low floor. 4 teams that are creampuffs, but 4 in top 13. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/schedule/_/id/150

Good point.

Another convenient scheduling tool I noticed. After their game against Texas Tech on the 20th, they have 16 days off until ACC conference play opens…

Doke is in a boot and on crutches. Didnt tear anything according to coach T.

That probably means there isn’t any movement on Silvio’s eligibility until after the season is over as well. He certainly doesn’t deserve that fate

NCAA announced no penalties for any programs tied to FBI trial until after Final 4.

@BShark

Better fit and can actually shoot. I still think we need Garrett’s D on wings

BShark said:

@BeddieKU23 Spacing helps the entire team. With Doke it enables him to be one on one or potentially unguarded in the post. Also lets him seal off a guy more easily for a dunk. With Dedric it just gives him so much more room to use his crafty moves.

I think the answer for this team is playing 4 guards. Garrett can bang defensively in the post just fine tbh. Play Jay Wright ball. The shooting will still be an issue, but this would help a lot.

Will Self do it is a very fair question though. Like @Kcmatt7 said Bill gets tempted to play stone age hoops when he can. I still think a 3 out 2 in game could be okay, but you can’t have so many plodding bigs for defensive reasons. You need to be able to guard the perimeter. Dedric plus Doke is just too much sloth on D. You also really still need more shooting threats 1-4. It’s really tough to play two bigs when you only have one guard that can shoot worth a crap.

Garrett could be a solution or just a band-aid fix. He played well last night but it was Wofford. We’ll see how he matches up against other teams. I think KJ has started to become comfortable within this team and I think he’s the guy that should see a bump in his minutes. If we are looking for someone who has great chemistry to put next to Dedric its KJ. Them two just know where each other is, sort of the bond I was hoping Dedric/Doke would have but they clearly don’t have.

The 4 guard lineup as I mentioned to HEM is still in the DNA of this team. It’s probably a good thing with Doke out a while and Silvio in the pen

Oregon’s violations and penalties. 🙄

This was the equivalent of putting Altman in timeout for 5 minutes and taking away his tv privileges for 10

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Dedric is averaging 19.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and has a 27.2 efficiency rating. He’s only shooting 46% from the field and 9.1% from 3. If he gets his shooting percentage up, he’ll probably win national player of the year.

Don’t you know they gave it to Zion already because he can dunk really high. Like really high
