@jayballer73 I’m glad they’re making an effort but I think if they show these pro clubs can’t contain the virus despite the caution they’ve tried to take it adds to the overwhelming proof that sending our snot nosed kids to school is a bad idea.
agree. We got these kids coming back to Campus from all over the Country and some outside the Country right , and who’s to say how many people have come in contact with others that might be carriers - remember a lot of these people don’t even realize they have COVID-19 cause their cases are so mild - -BAD IDEA
@kjayhawks said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:
Seen where both Cardinals and Marlins have players with COVID. Interesting why the MLB didn’t go with a double like the NBA. It’s also worrisome for how both CFB and the NFL will fair. If they can keep everyone in a bubble without actually having a double they may stand a chance. I’ve heard several of the MLB guys aren’t taking it seriously.
I’ve obviously become mad again about March madness being cancelled when the case numbers have sky rocketed since March. School is in the same boat with me, canceled for a few cases in my county. But now with hundreds they say let’s go back to school. Makes no sense logically.
Neighbor was telling me last night that THREE other teams now have players with the COVID- 19 , three more other then the Marlins, I still think this sports season when it’s all said is done will be screwed. - -Baseball just the start
Man this about makes me sick to my stomach, Dana found guilty of forcible rape while using a gun during this - boils down to this is a POS guy , and like others said if his name is in the ring of Honor - - -Honor ? screw that , this idiot has no Honor. Don’t need to have anyone trying to defend this sorry shit - he has already been found guilty could get 15 yrs to Life and to that I say - - -GOOD, hope it’s life, but it won’t be. She showed up to his house to talk about babysitting job. He thought she wouldn’t be able to make it through the trial, guess she had some kind of disability also/

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Possible some set back for the Chiefs:
Gonna be a weird season, if any! The new back should fill in nicely.
gonna be interesting how the Season plays out. Looks like it might very well be like baseball with no fans , or very limited.
I myself am still trying to come to terms with the Packers, as people know huge GB fan BUT with the way they are trying to screw Aaron around , almost a repeat of Jordy - -this case with Aaron they needed to draft receivers to help him out , so what they do - - they draft a QB , pretty much seals Aaron not finishing out his career with the Pack - - I just don’t get it-v - Aaron is another case where he wanted to finish as a Packer , he is 36 wants to play into his 40’s. - -He says he hold no ill will , understands it’s a business how they ever went 13-3 last year is beyond me , for sure going to be a hard year 0 0really challenges my dedication with the decisions they have made these last few years.
Glad I DO like KC fun to watch and explosive, so I also pull for them to win EXCEPT win they play GB So at least I’ll have at least a team that goes far again , but yes your right going to be very interesting year.
Now before some people stat talking about Mahomes on this , w all ready know all about how good he is. - -The thing is and was brought up on a couple of different stations today, that Damian Williams has opted to sit out this year because of the Covid
I think we all realize yes, KC is much more of the Air attack , but the fact remains how Solid Williams was last year more importantly in the playoffs - -was brought out that it will have SOME impact , opposing defenses are still going to have a hard time keeping KC under 30 plus a game but no one can deny he gonna be missed
Like they said though they can’t blame him , watching out for his family with this virus
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in K.J. Adams:
@jayballer73 Perry Ellis and Dedric Lawson could also dunk and nobody has ever called them an above the rim player. Players of Adams size who play mostly below the rim tend to be poor defenders due to a lack of athleticism and bad rebounders due to poor jumping abilities. Players with Adams profile at programs like KU have a history of struggling and not panning out as expected due to their physical limitations. Another difference between Adams and Ellis and Lawson is the Ellis and Lawson were both top 40 recruits while Adams is barely a top 100 program.
I also remember a lot of people giving me shit when I kept saying that Quentin Grimes was going to be a busy because of him being from an area that’s weak in HS basketball. The HS Adams attends is the top football program in Austin and a top 10 program in Texas having churned out a lot of NFL talent including two Super Bowl winning QB’s currently in the NFL in Drew Brees and Nick Foles, but Austin isn’t exactly known as a basketball hotbed so I also have serious doubts about the level kf competition he’s faced, especially without an AAU season this year to go against better players and improve.
So add all of these factors together along with doubts about a HS season happening and a not very athletic kid without much, if any, organized basketball activity potentially over a year is going to make me skeptical about what he’ll ever be at KU.
If you want to try and claim I’m always bagging on recruits to taking a dig like you did, then you might want to check history, because there’s plenty of recruits I’ve been high on that others weren’t.
I’ll go ahead and breakdown KU’s current roster right now you can comeback and see what I got right and wrong.
Marcus Garrett is going to be an NPOY candidate this year and a second round NBA pick. If Garrett could shoot, he’d already be in the NBA as a lottery pick. His defense alone is going to keep Garrett in the NBA for a long time and he’ll probably have a Pat Beverly type career.
Bryce Thompson is going to be a good, but not great 2/3 year player for KU. My comp for him is Wayne Selden. Thompson isn’t elite at anything specifically, just a solid all around player, but that lack of an it factor is what will hurt his NBA prospects.
Ocahi Agbaji is someone I’ve made pretty clear my feelings on and I’m nowhere near as high on Agbaji as others here are. Even playing on a top AAU team he didn’t get much attention from other P5 programs. I do believe he is the most naturally athletic player Self has ever had at KU, but he’s also one of the lowest skilled players as well and one of the lowest basketball IQ’s Self has had. He’ll be a 4 year player, and test off the charts in regards to physical abilities and maybe get picked up in the 2nd round based on potential, but I believe that’s all he’ll ever be is potential that spends a year or two in the NBA before headed overseas for the rest of his career.
Mitch Lightfoot is a future coach and honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a GA after this year. Mitch is one of the smartest players Self has had which is why he’s always maximized his time on the floor and why Self wanted Mitch on this team this year. He’s also a great leader and does the little things well like setting screens, knowing how help from the weakside defensively, and whatever is needed to help KU win. Mitch’s game is a perfect compliment to basically everyone who will be on the floor for KU because this is going to be a group that looks to drive the ball first and then kick out to an open 3. Mitch is going to be instrumental in making that happen.
Tyon Grant-Foster is one I’m less up on than others because I’m always naturally skeptical of JuCo’s in basketball. TGF is an above average athlete, but he falls into that Ochai, Jamari neighborhood of a good athlete, but lower skilled player. His shooting is a big concern as are his turnover numbers. He is a solid rebounder for his size which means he’s aggressive. I don’t think he’s a bad player, but I’m less optimistic about the immediate impact he’ll have than others are this upcoming season.
David McCormack is an upgraded Landen Lucas that can score more. He’s a guy we know effort is never going to be an issue with and is always looking to get better. He’s probably going to be 2nd or 3rd team Big 12 this year and a Big 12 POY candidate as a senior. I don’t see him getting drafted, but I can see him making an NBA roster based on his hard work and dedication to getting better.
Christian Braun is that guy we all hate when he’s on other teams. He is that annoying white kid who can go off for 5 or 6 made 3’s any night. Even if Braun doesn’t start this year, I think he should start over Agbaji personally, he’s going to play starter level minutes for his remaining 3 years at KU.
Tristan Enaruna is KU’s best NBA prospect to me. He’ll take all 4 years to develop like Svi, but he’ll be a very good player by his senior year. Being brought up in the Euro game, defense is probably always going to be his achilles heel, but he has the makings of being a Svi clone.
Jalen Wilson is another 4 year guy. Another Texas player with subpar athletic ability. I don’t see him ever becoming more than a role player and if he doesn’t develop a consistent shot, he’s someone I don’t see finishing his career at KU and probably ends up transferring to a mid major conference.
Silvio DeSousa is going to go down as the biggest what if player in Self’s tenure at KU. We saw flashes of what Silvio could be as a freshman, but the NCAA and the KSU incident have majorly derailed his development. Silvio is probably a top 3 rebounder under Self and is a phenomenal shot blocker, but is someone who needs a redshirt to focus on refining his game. If I were Self, I’d seriously consider redshirting Silvio this year honestly because I think Silvio would be best option at the 5 next year out of the realistic options Self has.
Dajuan Harris is someone I’ve struggled to get a solid read on. I don’t see him being ready this year to even be the back up for Garrett which is a little concerning since he’s probably taking over in 2021 for Garrett. He’s currently listed at 160 lbs. on KU’s most up-to-date basketball roster so durability is going to be a big concern with Harris until he can get into the 180 lb. range.
Gethro Muscadin is a player that’s going to need all 5 years to maximize his potential at KU. I think he can eventually develop into something similar to fellow Haitian Skal Labissiere except being able to rebound. He definitely needs to add bulk because so he doesn’t get bullied. He’s also still relatively new to basketball from what I can tell so he’s definitely a work in progress, but I’m just not expecting much of anything his first 2-3 years here.
Latrell Jossell along with Jalen Wilson is someone I don’t see finishing his career at KU. Jossell probably has this season to prove something in practice to convince the staff to not recruit over him, but he’s even smaller than Harris so durability again becomes a major concern because his body doesn’t look like it can handle much past 170-75 lbs. without taking a hit on quickness.
very nice - - I think I’ll STILL have a tendency to lean just a wee bit more towards trusting the KU Coaching staff in evaulation of a player then umm I dunno - - - you. Not saying your not an excellent evaulator of talent it’s just I feel more comfortable in men that do this for a living and on top of that - -they seem to make pretty good money at doing just that, and I think now I could be wrong but I think MAYBE - - just MAYBE have had pretty good success with offering these types of kids/ Yet thanks for your opinions always love varying opinions , what makes the world go round. Can’t agree on everything. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@approxinfinity said in K.J. Adams:
@jayballer73 there have been several guys here who never dunked in HS, ex Julian Wright, Mario Chalmers. Granted Mario wasn’t 6’7.
I haven’t watched the kids highlights yet.
ta I know. - -Was Frank Mason an above the rim player ? - -Was Devonte Graham an above the rim player ? - -I know different position, BUT still really good players. - -Is McCormack an above the rim player ? - -What about Christian Braun ? - -above the rim ? just a couple , could go on - -and from high-lite That I have seen umm yes - - Adams CAN play above the rim , just depends on the Situation. - just because he isn’t doing eye popping flush all the time doesn’t mean he can’t play above the rim…
Scout report says he has a very servicable Jumper - -is Jalen Wilson above the rim player ? - the answer would be - -no more then KJ. Some people jut want to automatically start tearing a kids play up right from the get go - -gets pretty old. KJ A dams is going to be a very solid 4 year player for KU - we can’t land nothing but one and dones we can’t land the Monster rim eating studs all the time. - -What we can do is just like Coach is doing finding solid 3-4 year players that may need some work but still very very solid players - -don’t get me wrong this isn’t directed at you - really not directed at anyone in particular - - just saying - -I think I trust Coach & we & KJ Adams are going to be just fine
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in K.J. Adams:
@jayballer73 Adams being a below the rim player is an issue because it’s a sign of lack of athleticism. At his current size of 6-7 and about 200 lbs., he’s probably going to be a wing and an unathletic wing doesn’t typically do too well in Self’s system.
How many times did Perry Ellis and Dedric Lawson get their shots blocked because they were below the rim players?
So while the premise that a dunk and lay up are worth the same is accurate, someone who is a below the rim player is much more likely to have their shot blocked than an above the rim player which does affect a player’s ability to score.
If you can’t grasp how being a below the rim player is a major concern for a player, then I don’t know what to tell you.
I’m not that concerned, I’ve seen plenty of the so called below the rim players do just fine. I mean it’s obvious that Coach thinks he is worth the Scoli - - I think I’d rather trust Coach’s judgement - -He has a solid jumper he is gonna be just fine. , so you really don’t need to tell me anything
Above the rim - - - Below the rim - -last time I heard - -read- -or saw --still has the same value in scoring , at the end of the day it’s still 2 points. Who would of Thunk it ?
I don’t give a tinkers ass if he is above the rim type player or not. - he can flush it - - he can lay it up - - he can finger roll it in - -he can tip the dam thing in - -as long as that round object goes through the rim & the result is two points - - - -I’m good with that. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayhawks2010 said in 2021 Recruiting:
Is Micwaber etienne an option still? I know we offered and he’s a top 50ish center? That year we will have a jr braun, wilson, Enruna, ochai. Maybe Thomson or tgf if they return. A very good McCormick. Clemence will be an impact freshman. So I think we will be fine! Key is we need a good point guard. Hickman is key. You land him the class still has 2 top 50 players both addressing our need a power forward and a top pg. With 2022 hopefully adding top 50 level shooting guard talent in Grady dick. It’s annoying Baylor stole a recruit we should always get, but the league needs to be strong. That helps us prepare for a championship run, and gives us more credit when we win it. Baylor’s biggest advantage next year is that we may not have fans in the stadium next year, which takes away our home court advantage
Looking at recruiting and seein Baylor mentioned quite a bit with players – them and Tech - -league is getting stronger
Well been pretty bored today and did a little scoping out from Rivals and found some things kind of interesting ang yet some confusing to a degree. One thing I noticed between rivals and 247 is that the two sites vary in they’re ranking of players - -some quite a bit.
Found some names - -some has been mentioned & a few that I haven’t heard. Here are some and difference on rankings : - One Big one that hadn’t heard mentioned and looks like he interested is:
Kajani Wright 6’9 PF out of LA California – ( 10 - -247 )- -( # 9 rivals )
Lee Dot - -heard this name before 6’10 Center out of Addison Texas- - ( # 12- -247- - ( 15 rivals )
Brice Griggs 6’'1 PG out of San Diego - – ( # 22 --247 ) - - -( # 27 rivals )
Dylan Andrews 6’4 PG out of LA California- - - ( # 25 - -247 )- - ( # 30 rivals )
Vince Iwuchukwu 6’ 10 Center out of San Antonio Tx - - ( # 34- -247 )
Tre White Another name heard before ( # 47- -247 )- - ( #39 rivals )
Rylan Griffin 6’5 SG out of Richardson Texas ( # 53- -247 )
Colin Smith 6’7 SF out of Dallas Texas- - ( # 74- -247 - - ( # 57 rivals ) quite a difference
Joseph Pinion 6’6 SF out of Morrillon Ark- - ( # 105- -247- - ( # 89 rivals ) another big difference
Some names I found. Looks like we are still hitting big boys one way or another , these guys either listed KU as one of their top 5 Schools at the present , so either they’re interest in us or Our interest in them or both. - we were listed for 10 out of the top 53 rated players for one reason or another in the class of 2022 - - there are others they listed but we have mentioned - - -Grady Dick , for one - -gonna be interesting just passing some names along , you may have heard of these guys - - or not - -anyways - -some one’s to keep an eye on. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Recruiting seems not great atm, fortunate to land Clemence. Need to just get the NCAA crap done with. Doesn’t seem like we have a shot at any elite 5s, but at least we will have SR Dave hopefully.
Hard to land top talent when there aren’t a lot of immediate minutes available, especially when none of the underclassmen are surefire early departure candidates.
A 2021-22 starting 5 of Harris, Thompson, Agbaji, TGF/Clemence, and Dave seems like a solid bet.
If Self and staff feel like Gethro can contribute in 2021, then the front court is the lowest priority. At this point, all attention should be on the back court for 2021 because that’s where KU looks like they’re going to be hurting the most right now in 2021 without much depth, particularly at the 2 spot.

Sallis is rumored to be a legit 6’5 now, so he and Bryce could both play multiple spots, where Hickman and Harris are true PG’s.
FWIW - - Hickman and Bates are both showing favorable for KU at THIS POINT this Brown bullshit smells big time

Matthew Cleveland will announce Tuesday. Imagine FSU won this one.
Jordan Riley will announce Friday. Imagine either St John’s or Uconn based on location. Damn what an athlete that one is
Not a single pick in for Riley on Rivals or 24/7. Don’t think it’s KU given the lack of any smoke.
Thought we were in pretty good shape with him ?

@jayballer73 it’s everywhere. here in Virginia we have a governor’s order to wear them in public but my neighbors still routinely comingle and under 6 feet without masks. The worst problem is that their kids hang out constantly without masks. I wish people would understand that their children too have to make sacrifices. This is a nurse, a football coach and a police officer. Once the virus hits one of them it will roll through them all. They also all quietly think that they’ve already had it. I hope for everyone’s sake that they are right. Really unhappy with people using their kids as an excuse to be irresponsible. Weak.
agree, but the thing is it has been proven you can get the virus more then once
really tired of hearing some people and I’m not meaning here but in person and though others - really sick and tired of hearing people bitch and whine and moan about having to wear masks.
This is an order that has been put in place by the Governor and another thing people trying to make this political - -this is not a political thing - IT’S A DAM VIRUS enough of the petty bullshit. , this is an order mandated by our Governor who is trying her best to protect people and Children from this virus. - -People who have that crap attitude - -GREAT then YOU get it - -get it like the kid that thought it was a hoax and told the nurse when on his death bed saying I think I made a mistake.
Read of WIBW news day before yesterday , that Kansas as per Capita right now, - leads the Nation for new cases of COVID-19 - -so for the size of our State we have more new Cases of the Virus then any other State -and people don’t want to do whatever they can to try and protect themselves or others against this - - -what kind of bullshit is that ?
Sure these masks are an incovience , sure they are a nuisance but tell you what I’d much rather put up with a little incovience - - nuisance then come down sick with this crap - -may not prevent it , but sure isn’t going to hurt to try and protect against what I can.
Really sick of whinny ass people , crying about these masks. Just like a Clerk told my wife today , telling my wife because of her Condition being on oxygen 24/7 if she wanted to she could go to her specialist and tell them how she has hard time breathing while using the mask , and the wife could go anywhere and not have to wear the mask as long as she had that note exempting her. - - Yet my wife STILL wears a mask - -Why ? because she feels that’s her responsibility to do to try and do her pat for this. - -So if SHE can wear a mask when she really wouldn’t have to and then here sniffling little whinny ass bitches crying about having to - - - umm no take that crap somewhere else just wear the dam mask again it’s not JUST ABOUT YOU. - it’s about your Wife , your Husband , your Brother , your Sister , your Mom , your Dad , your Son , your Daughter , your Neighbors , your best friend - -you have more people’s life at stake then just yours step up and act your got a pair and do your part
Just saw off ESPN that some kid didn’t catch his name - -he was the MVP in that FIBL or I know thats not quite right probably but you get the jest - -anyways he committed to BAYLOR as if they aren’t loaded enough - -if Butler comes back and the other one - - - LOOK OUT
Had to come back and edit - - my mistake guys and apologize , this kid will be in they[re 2021 class not this year
Well starting to see some domino and think it’s just a start I realize some of these are smaller conferences BUT the Big East is Canceling fall sports , I think I say the MEAC was either canceling or delaying , the MAC was delaying, it was scrolling across the bottom of the screen hard to keep up a couple other conferences I think 1 was Canceling the other delaying till October - -we knew this was coming
The NCAA has said it is going to have to have A LOT better returns/results as far as return dates with the virus they were Basketball on that - looks kinda grimm
@kjayhawks said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:
I think this is a good call at this point, see where we are at in a month and address it then. Obviously it would be insane to think young kids are going to social distance and wear masks all day.
I had read where they were working on or are going to try when they do open that any child 6th grade and above wear masks - -under 6th they are not required. Voidance of lockers , stagger how many kids are in the halls at the same time - - stagger lunches - -and sanitize hands every hour - -I think it’s a good call too

Well, Governor Kelly just had her news conference and said she is making a executive order that goes into effect Monday - - - Schools will be delayed in opening at least till after Labor day weekend. & then after that the Schools will have mandates in the order.
They will have to see after that. - - -The White house yesterday they said declared Kansas a RED Zone - -we had 875 new cases over the weekend and 11 deaths. - - Part of being a Red Zone is COVID-19 with a positive rate of over 10 % - -Dr Norman is very dissapointed about how people reacted when restrictions was lifted. - -Hey said they knew we would spike after the 4th of July weekend but NOT this high - -we are not having sports this fall watch. - - - -this effects K-12 hold on to your butts
Subject to SBoE approval. Will be interesting to see how they vote.
think she was ask about legislators being able to overturn and her reply was they would only be able to review and not over turn. Think this stems from the 1st time , they overturned her decision and she went through court to uphold her decision- -I’m not real clear on that though I know this though if we are being declared a Red Zone - -thats not good
The legislature can repeal her authority to do this in its entirety if they really want to. Under current law, the Board of Education has the power to overturn the order. From what I could tell I think the Board was pretty much behind her as they were at the Conference - -I am not 100 % on this - -but you could see this coming
yet this time round I don’t think that’s going to happen.
