@KUSTEVE And as nutty as Billy’s mom appears you’d think she would have zero issues blaming Self and KU.

• One and Done

• World Wide Wes - Zero investigations

• Shoe Companies running rampant

Perfect Storm

I’m honestly ready for REAL student athletes again. Let the “studs” go pro out of high school. If they are not drafted I DON’T CARE! Go to Europe or join the real world. Guys will argue they should get reinstated. No way. You do that and the next market is agents who will sign kids they know wont make the NBA right out of high school then herd them to colleges with who they have relationships. So replace the current shoe companies with slime ball agents.

Preston’s eligibility was in question at Kansas first because of a car mishap. The car was a Dodge Charger that the defense said belonged to Preston’s late grandmother. Kansas accepted the car situation but was pressing Preston’s mother about if she received money elsewhere. — Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander)

That is good news and they obviously didnt believe her.

@BigBad Compliance probably doesn’t even take a look at it unless something happens

So if a basketball playing freshman shows up in a brand new Mercedes Benz does it get “looked at”?

If Preston doesn’t wreck the car does he play?

Depth ALWAYS works itself out. There will be 2 or 3 guys that either: 1. are careless with the ball and make stupid turnovers 2. get blown by on defense or miss box outs 3. take bad shots. This will mean a short leash and a seat next to coach Self. I dont care how “deep” we seem to be, there always seem to be short leash guys with Coach Self.

I would hardly call this bunch a Final 4 lock with so many new pieces. A lot of pre-season hype/expectations include Silvio being apart of that. This team may/probably will start two freshman in the backcourt which has its own set of growing pains. I think the sum of all of KU’s parts are better then the field but without Silvio its a big dent to the post depth Self was going to have.

Missing DeSousa and having Doke/lawson with McCormack/Lightfoot coming off the bench is still a pretty good 4 man front court rotation.

i agree about the Final 4 not being a lock.

I’m in Ohio and I went to the Champions classic last time it was in Indy. This year the prices look INSANE!

I would NEVER have drafted Wiggins as high as he was. He has ZERO hands and that is a natural ability. Guys dont develop(in college or not) good hands later in their athletic lives. Heck coach Self was quoted in practice saying “softest hands in America”. I dont care how athletic you are if your hands cant keep up with your body you will never be an elite level NBA guy. Obviously this is nitpicking because Wiggins is a good/very good pro. He just will never justify a #1 overall pick.

In politics people demonize “the 1%”, in basketball people want entire systems changed to accommodate the 1%.
