CAN WE KEEP THE SUBJECT ON KU RECRUITING ANDNOTHING ELSE

Whew!!! You yelled that just in the nick of time. I was about to whip out a recipe for a killer German Chocolate Cake.

You’d drink too if you realized you just left KU for Wichita State !

Hope there’s not already another thread about this guy…

This guy is a BEAST. I am always comfortable when Frank and/or Devonte have the ball in their hands. I am always STOKED when Josh has it. What’s this guy gonna do next? One hand stuff from the free throw line? Crazy pass from the top of the key that no one else can make? Float in from halfcourt and finish with a two hand jam from Frank or Devonte? Make free throws in the clutch when everyone says he can’t shoot free throws? Block a shot? Play great defense?

This kid is amazing. Way better than…previous OAD’s and way, way, way better than what I expected at the beginning of the season.

I’d give up 3 years of football bowl eligibility to keep him here another 3 years.

I crack myself up.

I’ll go to early church and thank God that the sun came up. I could do it at home, but the church has really good music…

After church, I’ll go to late breakfast with my great brother in law and his incredible wife.

After that I’ll go visit my sister-in-law who has stage IV pancreatic and liver cancer.

Sometime tomorrow afternoon, I’ll call my 81 year old dad in Texas and see how he’s feeling after having a cancerous kidney removed on Monday.

Then I’ll call my two incredible kids in Kansas City and see how their week was.

I’ll prepare myself for the onslaught of BS at work on Monday. And you know what?

It won’t bother me one bit.

What made Frank (not even his season) is that he’s a Man. Not a punk. Does his job. Doesn’t complain when the calls go against him, doesn’t take credit when he puts the whole team on his shoulders (as he did many times in his career). He’s humble, determined (to the point of obsessed during the games), and smart. Can we PLEASE get the NCAA to allow him 3 or 4 more years of eligibility? If nothing else, just to be an example of what a college basketball player should be.

@Kip_McSmithers Going to Texas would give him the opportunity to lose to KU every year…

@drgnslayr I was talking with a friend this morning and said we’ve had this same conversation about a hundred players over the years.

Where are we going to find the next Aaron Miles? Jacque Vaughn? Danny Manning? Nick Collison? Raef LaFrentz? Sherron Collins? I mean this list could literally go on for hours.

But they do it. The coaches are out there constantly finding/making great talented kids who become Jayhawk legends. I am already stoked to see who the next one will be after Frank. (I wish he could stay another 4 years also!)

I think most people on here know how I feel about Josh Jackson - I think he is by far, without question the best OAD that we’ve ever had, and maybe ever will have. I love when he has the ball in his hands. But he will never in a million years occupy the space in my heart that Frank Mason or many, many other 4 year guys will have. Losing Frank is almost like a death in the family. I hope that doesn’t offend anyone who has recently lost a loved one, and i know i tend to exaggerate, but it’s kind of similar. There’s a grieving process to go through.

Hopefully the National Championship this year will relieve some of the grief.

Section 3, paragraph 9: If a review will remotely, in any way shape or form benefit the University of Kansas, either now or a 100 years from now it is strictly forbidden.

To stay up and actually watch the games. It sucks getting up at 4:00 am every day…

To not whine about Self when he doesn’t do the right thing, which means doing it my way.

To read ALL of @jaybate-1.0 's posts (resolutions are never easy)

To not do my happy dance at work any time K-State loses. (my boss and practically everyone else who works here are purple)

To tell my wife that I’m having an online affair so she doesn’t get mad that I spend all my time with YOU guys and gals.

This late in the season, Is there a fix for bad free throw shooting?

YES

I can go out in my driveway and shoot free throws RIGHT NOW and if i do it consistently I will improve. I could probably improve my FT % by 40% (or more) by shooting for two hours.

Although, it would help if i had a basketball goal in my driveway.

@rockchalkwyo Their little feelings are still hurted.

@wrwlumpy Generally speaking, KSU fans are too dumb to come up with something intelligent or funny, so they have to resort to the FU chant.

That’s one reason that I like Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan so much - they’re very funny without overt foul language. Anybody can get a laugh with a string of four letter words.

KSU gets a laugh by their play and their fan base.

@Crimsonorblue22 Yep! Give them something to talk about!

The Octagon of Dumb is more like a movie theater than a gym. A movie theater where they show really crappy, boring movies.

I hope we win 114 - 36 with the last play of the game being a 50’ lob to Doke for a two handed jam that shatters the backboard. Then Doke goes to the other end of the court and hangs on the rim.

@benshawks08 You may as well include every team in the whole NCAA Tournament - they ALL have the hardest bracket.

@benshawks08 Doke is a PRIME example of why players should stay four years. He has worked his butt off and made incredible strides in all facets of his game. He is adored by the whole Jayhawk nation.

My heart already breaks for Dotson. When he leaves next year he will be remembered fondly and held in high esteem, but I for one will always wonder how incredible he would have been by the time he was a senior.

I know I’m in the minority, but I don’t buy into the theory that they can’t wait until graduation to start cashing the big checks.

@Marco I kind of feel like Doke will dominate the tournament(s).

@StLJhawk ok,you know where I live so stop with all the Paradise (literally! ) talk. Lol.

I would have bet $1,000,000 at the beginning of the season that Doke would never shoot 7/8 from the FT line. Could not be happier for him.
