@Texas-Hawk-10 Key word in your post is Willingly . I think he handlers/ trainers are buried in this up to the cheek bones, I don’t think we are hearing the entire thing
-
@Jhawk69 I mean that ACTUALLY does make sense, that a lot to ask coming off that injury
-
Something is still amiss. If it is a mild sprain - no tear - then with appropriate treatment (assume he is getting that!) and rest, it should be a handful of days to at most a week or two. Two weeks in and to already conclude he isn’t available for another week!? That would seem to be a day to day determination.
-
The detectives are on the case!
-
I wish I was optimistic about the DP situation. Something is off
-
I’ll be the eternal optimist!
-
@DCHawker Google seems to think hamstring strains require more time than that. Simply put, athletes need to wait until they are fully healed because the constant work required on every leg movement will likely reinjure it worse.

Anyone know any faith healers in Lawrence?

Got to watch a little Dybantsa yesterday, and man does he carry the ball A LOT! I’m glad I didn’t watch more than 10 minutes as I was busy but saw several clear carries. I’m sure we’ll notice it when we play them.

Ha, I sadly thought Council was doing the same at times! Funny. Didn’t they emphasize that call in recent years?

Super talented kid. We will have our hands full facing them. The way they play Self doesn’t have answers for

So maybe this ongoing drama deserves its’ own thread. I went to the best source for information, formerly twitter, now called X. And there’s entirely rational takes there of course. Protecting himself for the draft, will never play for KU, entitled kid, waste of money, first year we don’t make the dance since 89 coming up, Self should quit, well those are the actual rational takes I read there! Who knows, maybe some of you have those takes! I’ve always been a trusting person so when I hear tight hamstring I just take that as the gospel truth and fingers crossed we won’t have just a half of a season of someone who they call the next Kobe. I don’t know the young man so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. But, some may have more sinister takes. What do you think is going on?
Haha, X really is something else—so many “rational” takes that somehow make zero sense in context! I get the frustration. Sometimes it feels like people just throw out whatever hot take will get the most reactions.
I’m with you on giving the benefit of the doubt. A tight hamstring doesn’t need to be a national scandal, and the kid’s still adjusting to a higher level of play and expectations. Sure, it’s exciting to talk about the “next Kobe,” but let’s not forget they’re human too.
As for the more sinister takes… honestly, sometimes it’s just speculation mixed with wishful thinking. I wouldn’t read too much into it unless we get verified info. Best case, he heals, stays focused, and we get to see what he can do on the court without the drama clouding it.

@Layla welcome!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Of course I never notice it when our guys do it!
-

I think part of the issue is the staff doesn’t (and shouldn’t imo) get the benefit of the doubt when things like this are going on. There has been a lot of drama with Self teams. Fair or not. Hopefully DP plays again soon.
-
Just a few names to throw out as far as issues we’ve had. Guilty or not, fair or not, issues that came up that had impact on seasons.
Vick x 2, Josh Jackson, Carlton Bragg, Arterio Morris, Remy Martin, Billy Preston, Silvio DeSousa, Cliff Alexander, Cheick Diallo, Embiid back being “close”, Josh Shelby nagging injuries.
I get that other programs have similar issues and we just don’t see them because we aren’t following them that close. But it at least feels like we have dumb shit impact our seasons more often than it should.
-
@Kcmatt7 Agree. It sure does , seems like EVERY YEAR there is something. I’ve said before I would love just for ONE season just ONE it sure would be nice if we could go through a season with out: – Injuries- - - kids either in or alleged dealings with the law- ----- - or problems with the NCAA just one season at least that w didn’t have to deal with something hat didn’t effect our program. Geez

The DRAMA… it’s tiring. He’s a young man that lives for the game, not sit on the sidelines. He’ll be back.
If there is one part of this drama that might count… it’s that Jayhawk fans need to step up on his behalf and support him through this, and not become part of that negative attitude being spread on social media about his injury.
I’m going to go with the thoughts of one of my guru basketball sources… who told me KU hasn’t even seen anywhere near his capabilities yet because he was already nursing this situation when we started play this season.
And then there is the obvious… that he SHOULD protect his career! His career will be in the hundreds of millions, and we’ve all experienced watching talented players get hurt and never get back to their former play.
It’s friggin’ ridiculous for KU fans to give him any kind of negative vibe now.

Hmm. Alright i had my suspicions that you were ai before approving your post @Layla . Quick, say something that only a human would know about the human condition.

Here’s my answer… are burnt ends fattening? It’s mostly a source of protein and not carbs, except if it’s sweetened while smoking.

Probably not great for you, but wont make you fat. Confirmed human.

Yes, of course, @approxinfinity
The Human Condition (人間の條件, Ningen no jōken) is a trilogy of Japanese epic war drama films co-written and directed by Masaki Kobayashi, based on the novel of the same name by Junpei.
I hope that answers your question about the human condition.
