@wissox I was referring to your post 4 days ago RE: is Bill Self a dirty coach?
I suppose I could have misinterpreted your intensions. It just read to me initially like you were calling him out for being corrupt or dirty.
Its all good man. I get protective of my boys. Its probly not wise of me to believe that KU will always have a halo over their heads.
@HighEliteMajor Those are very valid questions HEM. I appreciate that.
We should all know on this site, as long life KU fans, that Bill Self is highly intelligent, has been in the game for a very long time, under the tutelage of next level coaches and mentors and he is not naïve. Of course he knows there are payments to student atheletes.
I have no way of knowing, however, if Coach Self knew about the alleged payments to Josh or to Silvio or to Billy.
But, I sincerely believe that Coach Self is a man of high integrity and he would not willingly let something like that slide and risk damaging his own or the programs.
@BShark You call yourself a KU fan and yet here you are saying Bill Self is “dirty” and/or corrupt.
Coach Self has been a boy scout since he started coaching. Does he pay players? I seriously doubt it. If he did, why dont we have a mega stack of OAD 5 star players every season like UK and Duke? Hmm?
You and @wissox say he is dirty.
I say PROVE IT or GTFO.
No room on this website for haters.
quick question for everyone. What was SVI’s percentages at KU as a freshman?
I seem to remember he had troubles at the start.
Im confident that Marcus can improve enough in this off season to keep defenders from sagging or helping off him.
He’s no SVI and im not claiming he will be either. But, to my untrained eye, his shot doesn’t look terrible, it just doesn’t go in. If the kid really puts up 2500 shots a day or more. Yah he should see some marked improvement.
PS. im not sold on Doke being gone. He isn’t on any draft boards that Ive seen and neither Tait or Newell or Keegan seem to think he’s gone. Silvio?? Not so sure about him yet. I hope he can stay. We’ll need him but we still should have a deep enough front court without him next season
@jaybate-1.0 Doke’s coming back Jaybate. Everyone knows he isn’t ready yet. He’s just doing this to gather info on what he needs to improve upon kind of like SVI did last season. Doke needs to work on his rebounding, work on his outside shot and free throw shooting and Im probly missing somethings that he needs to tighten up on. I dunno. but hes not ready for the pros yet.
@Statmachine machine made a great point about Silvio that I didn’t consider. Basically if Self thought he would have been ineligible then he would have had him declare for the draft by now. Personally Im not sold on Silvio coming back either but we shall see. And, Garrett. I really think that this summer he works like mad on his shot from deep and from FT. He will get much better. I’ll bet on it.
@BShark Im just hopeful. I mean, hes not ready yet. He needs another year at KU. Hes not even listed as a second round pick RN is he?
@BShark Any possibility we can give one of our walk ons a Schollie?
Didn’t we just get a walkon commit from someone like yesterday?
Hey there Jayhawks fans. Long off season ahead of us and Im wishing we had a chance to see our boys play this summer somewhere.
Anyhow, thought Id chime in. Everyone seems to think its a foregone conclusion that Silvio is gone. Im not convinced until I hear otherwise. Either way, I think we are fine without him. Doke IS coming back and we have McCormack and Mitch
I was worried about not getting Langford but we will be fine there too. Garrett with a year under his belt and a whole summer to work on his shot and his strength is more desirable to me.
We are going to be Deeeeeeep next season. forgettaboutit.
I just hope that Coach Self uses that depth and doesn’t trim the bench to 2 or 3 deep when we can easily go 5 deep
