@BeddieKU23 Can’t wait to see him by Sophomore and Junior year as well…

Your right I fast tracked a few years thinking what a finished developed Dave will look like. With his drive and determination I have a feeling he’s going to be a fan favorite by his Sr night.

Garrett will suit up on Saturday but is a game-time decision on whether he’ll actually play. Looks like they could hold him out until Monday

@KUSTEVE 100% agree, It’s crazy at this point Arizona and Stumpy are even playing right now If they have a recording of him discussing a 100k for Ayton. But until something happens to these Nike schools that have better recruiting than us 9 of 10 years, it will be nothing short of a setup for logical folks. No way Dook signs the 3 best players in this past class and didn’t pay. If KU is paying for guys in the 40s thru the 100s most years then Dook, Arizona and UK’s consistent top 10 classes are BS and paid for.

@Kcmatt7 Well I have an Idea as to why the NCAA isn’t saying anything til april, MONEY. If some of these top programs are gonna get hammered, they don’t want the tournament numbers to suffer at this point. That to me is the interesting point, several top teams have players or former players on several lists that have been released. It would bad business for brackets not to include Kansas, Duke, UK and Arizona. Personally I think Arizona is trying to find the right fall guy by firing all these assistants. Whats crazy is it hasn’t hurt their recruiting as it appears that it hurt ours. Right now Arizona has the number 1 class for next year.

@mayjay Really good sentiments. Superbly written. We need more of that…even on this site. Thanks for sharing.

Not many opportunities to build confidence unearned on that schedule.

The Lawson boys dad can’t complain about KJs minutes today, tho he was a big factor in the loss. He played as much as Ochai, Lightfoot and David combined.

There is a reason KU didn’t really pursue the Weathers brothers.

@mayjay Have you ever seen Fran Fraschilla and @BShark in the same room?

Per Scott Chasen, Dotson is getting over being sick, so that would help explain last night’s performance from him.

@bskeet

Interesting thought.

Some kids thrive in the moment. Opportunity and motivation can go a long ways.

Silvio took a few games but he was another that given the opportunity seized it and ran with it last year.

I keep thinking back to when Self went and saw him play and offered him a scholarship. The way they talked about him is what we are seeing right now. I hope it continues, he’s becoming a favorite of mine already

Baylor is bad, they are 9-5.

Still not sure how this KU team beat MSU and Tenn.

Doke was just a horrible matchup for both teams. Especially MSU and Ward.

That’s probably the biggest thing KU is going to miss. There would have been a handful of games coming up where Doke held such an advantage that he would have changed the complexion of the game on his own. No question when Doke was engaged and having his way in the post everything else seemed to work itself out. Self mentioned Doke was sort of a security blanket and that’s true. Now KU is forced to see who can step up in his absence…

@HighEliteMajor Moore just running

@kjayhawks A medical redshirt should be a possibility if KU plays at least 30 games. Criteria include played in no more than 30% of a team’s games, and must have been injured with a season-ending injury in the first half of the season. He played in only 9. We have played 14, with 17 left, so we will have 31. At least. Unless something really really REALLY bad happens.

@BeddieKU23 He had a couple lazy passes that resulted in OU runouts.

Sorry I missed your comment about his passes. I counted 3 of them last night that were bonehead plays. Vick is who he is. I remember after one bad pass he canned a 3 on the next possession. He could definitely be less careless with the ball

@truehawk93 That team was too young to do much in that tournament though.

@betterfireE Dawson?

Here is a link to the trade which was royalty screwed up along the way. Oubre was the 6th man for the Wizards and had started a number of games and playing well and might be a starter for the Suns competing directly with Jackson who had several good games lately.

Oubre is a bargain at his current rookie contract of $3.2M while Rivers and Ariza are likely overpaid at $12.6M and $15M. Oubre has better stats than Ariza. Selden ended up not being traded after all and he is relatively inexpensive insurance at $1.5M. Mason is the lowest paid Kings player and at $1.3M he is inexpensive insurance when the only other PG on the team other than Fox is Ferrell and Fox has been somewhat injury prone. I can see McLemore being let go before Mason; he just does not play much and he has a $5.5M contract.

Weird to talk about athletes making millions as a bargain when the average fan struggles to make a mid 5 figure salary.
