  @dylans said in Through The Fart...: Elmarko hahahaha. Dude just lost his starting job to Furphy. Harris is fine he just needs to pick up the tempo imho. He allows the defense to get set up when he slowly walks the ball up the court, every time. I just wish he could push the pace more to put pressure on the defense, but maybe he doesn’t have the energy to play 38 minutes and there is no good backup option. Dejuan is playing slow because 3 of the 5 starters are playing 35+ mpg since the first couple of games and Hunter is playing 30+ mpg. That’s why Dejuan is playing slow. We don’t have enough depth to give anyone but Hunter a break during games so playing slow is how Dejuan, KJ, and McCullar get their quick breathers.

  @mayjay said in Easy Listen KU Podcast with /Drew Gooden: @jayballer67 said in Easy Listen KU Podcast with /Drew Gooden: I had NO IDEA they got any kind of money being on a full athletic ride. The NCAA relaxed their rules before NIL to allow schools to provide “full cost of attendance” because kids on full scholarship had no additional money to pay for housing during holiday breaks (if dorms were closed) or to travel home, let alone reasonable spending money for when school cafeterias were closed. KU probably had less problems than schools without secial athlete housing. Still, $397 for a school year ain’t much. As I recall, it was an attempt to forestall the clamor to allow kids to earn whatever they could. Obviously, too little flexibility by NCAA, and too late. I am sure our three-headed board of experts in this stuff can give a more accurate rendition! ya I agree with you, I thought 392 dollars -Wow that isn’t anything to live on. Sure they are on a full ride athletic wise but otherwise it was peanuts. I mean sure we are talking like they said what - -1990’s things have come a long ways but man - -just really surprised me. -I really enjoyed listening to Drew and his life time experiences and how ell he still connected as they put it - -the brotherhood of KU

  Thanks for that. Great to see Frank and Perry (and Wayne and …). That may be the only footage I’ve ever seen of Bragg playing.

  I’m happy that Kevin is shooting and making his free throws with 78 made at a very nice 83.9% rate. This is 50 more makes than Hunter or KJ. Since Kevin came back to raise his draft stock, I guess, one thing the NBA tracks and values is percentage of finishes at the rim and it seems to me Kevin has an opportunity to get more “and ones” than he is getting now. No one is tougher than Kevin and he sacrifices himself every game but if he would complete say for comparisons sake two more at the rim makes and hit the free throw that adds two more points and would up his conference leading scoring average to 22.1 and get him even closer to first team AA status.

  @benshawks08 golf was an extreme love/hate relationship for me. When I first started, I was on fire. I mean really very good. I played every single day for two years. Then the smarter I got, the more I learned, the worse I played. At the end of my golf career I was so smart I could throw my clubs further than I could hit the ball.

  @BeddieKU23 said in A look ahead to Conference Play: The conference might be a bit down overall from a talent perspective but collectively the league has won nearly 77% of their games to date (and that’s including 5-8 West Virginia) so it’s clearly going to be difficult to win this conference once again. There’s a bottom to the league in West Virginia, Oklahoma St & UCF but KU has to play all 3 of them on the road so none of them will be easy on paper. I think there’s 3 or 4 more that aren’t that good but have good records until the meat of conference play exposes their weaknesses. This league will have at minimum 6 NCAA bids, possibly 10 or 11 depending on how it goes. It’s still crazy 10 would be the max. The Big 12 has 10 teams in the top 50 of the NET rankings right now. With conference play starting, there won’t be many radical changes up or down.

  @drgnslayr agree he would struggle at the next level. I dont know if UConns big isnt quick footed but that game there were a couple possessions where it seemed like Hunters feet were faster and he recovered from challenging a shot to get the rebound quickly. I wonder if there is an effort or conditioning component to his footspeed that can still be unlocked.

  Joliet is a tough little town. I was talking to someone who taught there and attended there and he said his little bro is just as good. Of course the greatest Chicago movie started in Joliet, The Blues Brothers. I will be driving to church this morning past the drawbridge, the church where Jake saw the light and the ballroom, now called the Southshore Cultural Center.

  Keep points that the FSU attorneys are focusing on and going to file - -Breach of Contract , Unenforceable withdrawal penalties , Violation of public policy , Restraint of Trade. FSU saying not so much filing this for the GOR but filing because of the issues they have has concerning Actions of leadership over the last 10 years and the future 13 , Arguing GOR of the ACC withdrawal fees violate Anti Trust Law in Florida. - -and question the ridiculous increase from 21 million GOR 10 years ago to 572 Million GOR now.

  lol @approxinfinity I though AZ lost and Oklahoma took a big jump in the poles. Then I remembered polls don’t come out until Monday. I’m excited to have Arizona basketball in league. They are the only newcomer I’m pumped about. The rest don’t do much for me regardless of ranking. - I had grandparents that were UofA fans before they passed, so that’s why they rank - it’s personal not national relevance.

  @BShark said in Hunter Done Hunting For a While: @kjayhawks said in Hunter Done Hunting For a While: It’s like the guy that created a fake football recruit a few years ago and got him rated in the top 100. Half of the crap the news shows is word of mouth. Very few are actually on the scene investigating such. “If you watch the news, you are misinformed. If you don’t you are uninformed. Which is better?” -Denzel Washington. Yep. It’s really embarrassing for WIBW though imo. They are supposed to be a news outlet. CONTACT KU BEFORE RUNNING THAT TO VERIFY. IT IS NOT HARD. verify before running with a story! You’ll be left in the dust (they’ll claim) and there is no repercussions so here we are.
