Maybe he could play for KU again. How’s that NIL budget looking? lol
Apparently teams are recruiting the G league guys and somehow signing them. Spoiler alert Izzo is not happy about it. -

He looks like a work in progress… needing to improve lateral pursuit. This is where we get into possible trouble if our calling card becomes athleticism extending on both sides of the ball. On defense, if he’s the weak link we can waste the efforts of 4 athletic defenders because of one slow guy. I say that, but I’m also reading he has a good sense of the game and has good skills finishing at the rim (not just dunking). We need to see more of him to understand his potential. I don’t want to be the one prejudging his potential.

I think that he was playing. As I tend to do, from time to time.
Thank you for noticing my tongue stuck in my cheek!
Yeah, that’s a problem, occasionally.
The way I understand it, that two-way contract means he’ll be bouncing back and forth between Miami and their G-League team in Sioux Falls.
Better beef up that wardrobe Marcus !
Vice had a really good show about the NCAA that was on this morning. They could make it a series and have 11 seasons and not capture half of the messed up things they have done to kids over the years.

Any word on who will RS?
Way too early to say for sure, but what I can say is take Cuffe to the bank. Beyond that I really don’t know. And won’t for awhile.
Cuffe was a 4-star right? His game is that undeveloped? Serious question, not trying to be a smartass. I realize though that we are bigtime deep.
Yeah, he only played two real years of HS ball. Reclassified and 20-21 was basically canceled in NJ. Needs time.
The more I think about it, the more I think KU and the other pending schools should join together and sue in federal court to enjoin the IARP and NCAA from proceeding. The “independent” forum has publicly admitted it cannot do its job and wants to be just another tool of the enforcement arm. This was experimental, and the schools consented based on guarantees of an unbiased investigation and decision.
Even the military learned long ago that a court system has no credibility when the court is controlled by the prosecutor.
@Marco said in Self Has Covid:
You did good with this post, keep up the good work
Thx. The product of hours and hours of dealing with this frustration!
Not going to Spain anymore. Spain was put on the “Do Not Travel” list by the State Department due to a spike in Covid cases among people under 23. That sucks for Harris because Larry Brown was originally supposed to be the head coach for the team too.
@BigBad not even the same universe, let alone ballbark $ wise. But yes, high schools are factories and or farm systems too. However, they are minors. Once a kid is of age and someone is making millions off of him or her, that adult deserves to make a few bucks too.

Always love seeing these and passing along to others who enjoy KU past History memories love it. This is the top 10 guys who scored the most in a single game over the last 10 seasons. This runs from 2011/12 through 2020/21 : Don’t ask me why Perry’s name came out like it did lol. - tried fixing still came out the same - - Ooops

Big time ballers, Big time games. - -Devonte & Ben leading the way with two games each. Surprised with LaGerald - didn’t remember that one. - Some really good players have past through and been really lucky to see them do their thing. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
The Lagerald Vick game was Louisiana, not Louisville.
my bad buddy. bad at abbv’s - -thought that was high for a game from him against someone like Louisville
The one thing that I would recommend for any player or athlete? Keep your grades in check, and take advantage of your opportunities… But later, when it is time, go back and get your degree.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I wasn’t referring to U.S. history, which I know more than my share of. I am talking about free people having the ability to make money, any money.
I think that our starting 5 would be: Remy, Braun, Obaji, Wilson, Dave
Key Subs for Guards: Yesufu, Jalen Coleman, Harris - Bigs: Lightfoot, KJ, Cam
What is the role of other players?
Any redshirt candidates?
Who will be most disappointed with PT?
