    • Frank continues to be Frank

      Ijust continue to like the guy more and more EVERY day. No matter Frank just continues to be the humble, modest and what seems to be a quiet mannered type of guy, BUT still just continues to get it done, I have to respect a guy like that, - -no ego problem and I don’t believe there ever will be.

      The latest example I’m talking about is Friday, at the Riley House/ Kansas Sampler. Frank was having an autograph session signing for the KU fans, and when 3:00 rolls around the people in charge break it off telling some that they would not be able to continue, Frank had other things, such as geting his license renewed before 5 - - Franks swings around and say he HAS time TO DO all, keeping everyone happy. - -No major thing BUT yet, still a humble, modest thing just like Frank - - - -Frank being Frank. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • Well guys, whats to say

      dam, what a game, whatcha goona say? I mean actually a pretty complete game - --total. We continue to play like this, gonna be a tough out for anybody against us PERIOD. Baylor allowing 40.4 fg % Ku today- - - 54%. Baylor allowing 31.1 3pt fg% for season Ku today- - - 58%. Baylor came in almost a plus 5 out reounding over us Ku today- - wins the boards, Baylor, leads nation in assists, today Baylor- -9,- - -Ku 19. Ku turnovers today- - 9, - - third game in a row single digit turnovers. Ku 19-23 free throw line. Complete game, Seems everybody played well. Bragg played well while he was in, Diallo I thought played well while he was in. Mickelson played really well, the whole team. If you really want to nit-pick the 1 thing you might complain about- - -getting beat off the dribble drive down the lane, still way to much penetration down the lane. but hey I’m happy. should be great game Monday night. and as always ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • RE: Jay Williams at half time, "Batman has no Robin."

      @wrwlumpy

      Man I tell you what. - -I know that Mitch by far is not the most talented, not the biggest BUT - - the kid has fire in his gut. - I mean just like the rebound and the put back with like a minute that was called goal tending was huge - -and the fire the edge he has - his whole reaction - the emotion -I love that from the kid.

      I might just be blind, maybe just totally me - but man does this kid try and always gives 100 % seems to me anyways - -he has made plays in some crucial times this year -giving it his all - I can tell just how much he loves to play -how he loves KU -these kind of kids - these are what I want to help our depth.

      Man if we could get him to red shirt - and I feel the redshirt just for bulk, because as been mentioned countless times with him playing out of position - I think believe it or not - -I think the kid has OVER achieved all things considered put some girth/bulk on him so he isn’t getting pushed around - pretty decent shot blocker - -ya give me some more of that. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • HUGE WIN

      guys I don’t know how you feel, but this was a HUGE win. I can not be any more proud of a group of guys as these guys. They played so tough. When the Russian guy threw in and that’s what it was, was a throw when that went in you had to wonder. Russia had all the momentum and even went up by one, and then at that point U.S.A/K.U. showed their toughness, loved it. Perry had a great game turned it on this game when we needed, really sweet , Wayne continued to be a beast. Kinda funny I had just said to myself- - ya I know talking to myself lmao, but had just said Wayne a disappeared for a bit in the 2nd half and what happens? Wayne drains a big 3. Frank like they said was an iron man, solid tired but solid. Hunter, & Landon played well just everyone overall did really good, showed toughness. Damm Russia was so big 7ft 3 and 7 ft 1 they looks athletic the team did seemed fairly quic looks like we did a better job defending the 3 in the 2nd half. SO, PROUD, SO SO PROUD I am willing to stand up and admit I didn’t think we would do this well, so let me have it guys I deserve it lol. I love these guys, I think we are on the brink of a really nice upcoming season. This team has done a lot more then a lot of all star teams that has went over just can’t say enough. ONE MORE TO GO. hope the guys can tuff it out play 1 more game and bring home the gold ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • RE: Hinrich, the dog

      YA for sure, our dogs/pets do become just like family - spoil to a point. I had a little min-pin name of Shadow she was so cute,

      Poor lil girl she jumped down off our couch and injured her spine and she lost the use of her back legs, she would just drag herself when she had to go do her chores we took her to the vet, he gave us some medication - she slowly recovered and I’ll be dang if she didn’t do it again.

      Doctor came in the room - looked at her from across the room an said YEP back injury - -put her down, didn’t even try. - We would allow them to do that She needed surgery unlike quite a few people - -hell maybe even here - -I’m just not in a position financially to have the surgery done.

      So we checked around found a refuge - -a no kill center especially for min pins - - like a foster home , they would take care of her, look out after her an possibly someone would adopt them, - -she was a very lucky lil girl, a family adopted her could afford to have the surgery, she is good to go now. - Lives out in the country on a 5 acre place - has a little partner to play with, they built some stairs she goes up and down on - -sleeps with them - great care for her. - I’m so glad - I am still hurt that there wasn’t anything WE could do to keep her, but at least she wasn’t but down

      Miss her terribly, sorry I got carried away about my little buddy This is about someone’s little partner sorry. - - Anyways bottom line I’m so sorry for the loss of your lil buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • RE: What's Wrong with this Picture?

      you know what? wouldn’t it be great to be able to change spots with Coach? I mean he could come switch spots in our house, let him sit in the recliner, kick back have his brew, or pop, or tea WHATEVER, and some chips have his snack, be able to kick back watch the game, be able to yell at the TV,& we be the coach? wouldn’t that be sweet? ummmm 2nd thought, you know what? I think I’ll stick with Coach Self, his play calling, his decision making, I mean I think I’ll go with the guy that ummmm I dunno- - that has won 11 straight conference championships, that is 195-9, hasn’t lost 10 games at home since he has been here, a coach that has won a national Championship for us, a Coach who’s teams have been in the top 25, and close to the very top of the top 25 since he has been here, and what I think I heard he is or right about like 361-79 a 82% winning pct in his coaching career? - - -umm ya, I think I will have a tendency to stick with him instead of myself or any of ya all’s as the coach, Ya Ya I know we all could be THAT coach right? sure looks like he has to be making some right decisions for him to have accomplished, what he has accomplished, I just got this feeling that he might, just might know just a little bit more about whats going on then we do, so I think I’ll just continue to sit here in my recliner, drink my juice and be able to chill and let the Coach,- -Coach we gonna be ok, our C5’s ARE GONNA BE FINE. Until Cheick, can come to the realization that he is not going to be able to block every single thing that comes to the basket, until Cheick comes to the realization that he has to stay on his feet and not leave them everytime there is a little head fake, until Cheik can stay on the floor without committing a fould like a foul every 2 minutes, exp ( fouls out in 10 minutes of playing time) then he will continue to get limited minutes, yes he looked better the amount of time he was in last night, more relaxed, but like others have said Jamari was getting it done, & I have no problem what so ever with Coach playing him the amount of time he did. Cheick will get there, but like so many others have said, he is raw very, very raw going to take time ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • RE: words of wisdom

      We or I assume we all have heard or know that Frank hasn’t been given much of a chance for the NBA. Well I was listening to a local sports radio broadcast today, and they were talking about Frank, and said they feel he will or should get his shot. - -They brought up a pretty good comparison, they said there is guy right now that’s doing a really good job as a back up point guard, that Frank is very comparable to, this one went undrafted - -name of Van Fleet from Wichita State, ya - -Fred, they said somebody like Frank has to be tough, must be able to knock down the outside shot, must be able to penetrate and they said ALL of which Frank does well, said eally no difference between him and Van-Fleet - - just hought they had some pretty good points. – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • RE: Border War to start back up??

      I think the ONLY reason Missery is popping their little weasel heads up is now is - -they think they have a chance to compete against us with their class they brought in -they aren’t concerned about anything doing with Charity - like I read from a fricken Mizzery post of Jayhawk Nation - -saying and I quote " wondering why the gayhawks still don’t want to play - -the last thing he remembers is the gayhawks bent over and getting it put to them still mad that they left the conference’

      These guys are relevant TO NOTHING - - they only hope they could pull this out - -that don’t give a damn about charity. - -They left the conference - it’s been our stance to have NOTHING to do with these pieces of crap - should always be that way you left - -stay gone. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • In reality - -pretty true statement.

      Read an article talking about how there was a team that could really challenge KU for their14th straight big 12 Championship, a team that wears red uniforms - -and actually yes they could.

      The team goes 5’11 - --6’6 - - 6’7 - -6-10 - -& 6’9 - all of these players have averages of least 9.5 or has had & one of them was at 19.9 & 9.9 reb.

      That team? - well they are – Charlie Moore - - Sam Cunliffe - - KJ Lawson - - Billy Preston - & Dedric Lawson. - -KU’S red team in practice.

      Coach said or it was said that KU faces beter competition in their practices than alot ot teams in the Nation.

      Devonte Graham says that Coach gets mad at them cause alot of times the Red team will be whupping their butt, but like Devonte says it’s not like we are playing a bunck of walk ons - these guys are Major D-1 players. - -very true fact.

      Coach Self says they had a scrimmage a 10 minute scrimmage and the red team hung 34 puts on the starters in the 10 minute scrimmage- Coach says they could of easily scored over a 100 in a regular 40 mintes contest. - Self says not un common at all for them to score 25 in a 10 minute running clock, so ya they get some pretty good scrimmages against these guys. - Like Devonte says for sure makes them better offensive and defensive wise. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • Touchy Situation/ Thoughts

      Well let’s see, I feel the need to choose my words wisely about what I feel the need to say here. For if I do not it will leave the door open for an easy target for SOME to yet attack - yet again. So:

      Let me say, I have many, many, friends, been to I’m a very laid back, easy going, funny individual, easy to get along with, was always known kind of as a class clown, the cut up, I like to joke, have fun forget being the serious, all the time. - -I know Soo? Just saying that’s all.

      Guys & gals let me say I love this site & I have no beef or complaints - - -for the most part. I came here checked it out, found it to be very interesting, and found people very well informed, that was willing to share their views, this is why I wanted to also join in. Yet there are a few that I have butted heads with , yet name me places, scenario’s where that doesn’t happen ANYWHERE you go in life? Yet there have been some that seem like that it has become their mission to take a personal attack on me or any threads that I post.

      I did not come to this site to cause trouble, I came here to have fun, enjoy and inner act with fellow individuals that have a passion for sports, for the University of Kansas.

      Multiple , Multiple times when I have posted some have felt the need to take the time to bring to my attention my grammer, spelling, punctuation, format of my threads, SOME have felt the need to attack me by making comments of or about my passion for KU, there is some here that instead of just commenting on the post just see an opening an opportunity to launch another personal verbal attack trying to make me look like an idiot. I have people who like to correct slang YA/ instead of yes - - Dam - - -in different forms of language that’s just wonderful. – Once again I didn’t realize this was English 101. If there is slang from me it’s because that’s exactly how I meant it to be used.

      Yet when I come back at these few individuals, what do I hear? - -I hear OH well if you don’t like this then find a different site, get the hell out. - - -Or I hear well some have tried BUT they are losing their patience with you - - Or Calm down or - - OR " Google It " - - -Once again I know I actually am a very laid back an easy going person, BUT I won’t let someone just personally attack me or just flat out be a smart ass, and try to make me out to be a rebel or idiot. I’m going to speak back, I’m going to give you MY opinion on your attack to me. - -Like one said people have tried to get along but their patience is running out - -Well that door swings both ways My patience is also running out. You see I didn’t come here to have some say " Google It " hell I came to inner act, with others, - -I came here to mingle, enjoy the companionship of fellow KU fans. - -I did NOT come here to get blasted for my opinion of things or get personally attacked BY SOME every time I post.

      It actually kind of stuns me really, depresses me the actions of some. - -I thought that those kind of days would get left in High School, I would of thought maybe we would of matured a little more by now. But I guess for some this is how you get your rocks of. I get attacked about my passion for KU - people saying oh yet ANOTHER thread about how your such a complete huge KU fan - - I get criticized when I state or truly trying to find out about KU other sports programs another attack just being a smart ass - -again simple solution you don’t care for my thread - -pass on, don’t bother, don’t feel the need to respond - -seems pretty simple. Yet they would rather launch yet again, coming across like I’m an idiot, --ass or whatever else any of you may feel the need to imply.

      Yes I DO have a passion for KU -Yes I am very loyal to ALL sports as it pertains to KU, YES maybe I am to much I can become very heated, when someone talks crap on Ku, considering I have not spent one single day - -hour - -minute as a student or grad student at KU - -I will not apologize for my passion of KU, and I won’t sit back and just let some one talk smack to me for my passion about KU. – You say oh another about how I’m such a huge KYU fan? - - Dam straight another, and there will be many, many, many more - -get over it. Plus if I wanted to Google something I would of never come here in the first place, I want inner action with people, not Google.

      I know most of you will think or say - well you don’t like how things are then just leave - -but sorry to say that’s not happening. Shouldn’t have to. For the most part most everybody in here is awesome, great insight on the recruiting, the players, and just the overall game of basketball it’self I am so grateful of the information you put out this is why I really enjoy this room BUT for some I really think things for you will never change it’s just sad. When I 1st came in here, I didn’t realize you had to fill out a personal bio, stating your level of education, personality traits, and so on and so on. – Once again I never claimed to be the quickest - - the smartest, correct with my grammer, but I know even with the mistakes I have made for the most part you have been able to understand as to what I was trying to get across - -you just felt THAT NEED to let me know I was wrong with things, to that I have to say thank you soooo much, it must be awesome to be perfect. or most of you once again, thank you for the conversation, the knowledge, that you have helped me, well not just me but have brought to the room I really do appreciate it, and will continue to do so . Now I know there will be a few that feel the need to come back and blast away and attack- -that’s fine go ahead, I would expect anything less from you, whatever makes your day, but to everyone anyways have a great day and like always even though some don’t seem to like it I will contine to end with ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

      Ok guys wasn’t really sure where to put this but put it here, feel free to move if you think this is in the wrong spot. Putting here case kind of Political but yet kind of sports related also.

      Let me say LaVar Ball has to be the most idiotic , moronic person I’ve ever heard/read about. I guess Last night in an interview with ESPN - he was at it again. Like the article I rea said everybody knows how BOTH Trump and Ball Both make outrageous statements to ensure they remain in the media spotlight. Ball likes to as to generate more attention .

      We all know that Trump made a off the cuff statement saying I wonder if the UCLA players will thank me for my involvement helping get their release? - -Trump received the thank you he deserved from each UCLA player last Wednesday during the players 1st public comment. - -THAT should of ended Trump’s involvement UNTIL - - -LAVAR ran his mouth again.

      When asked about Trump’s involvement about helping LaVar said - - -WHO? - - What was he over there for - -Don’t tell me nothing, EVERYONE wants to seem like he helped me out.

      It ain’t that BIG OF DEAL" Really " ? it’s not ? - -LaVar says like I told Li Angelo they try to make a big deal out of nothing. I’m from LA , I’ve seen a lot worse happen then a guy taking some glasses.

      The article says his audacious comments will no doubt increase his public stature and awareness of the Big Baller brand, but his defiant stance can only hurt his son. Not only is LaVar extending the incident , he could also be goading the UCLA admin into sending a message that this WAS a big deal by handing LiAngelo and his teammates a longer suspension.

      My son has built up enough character that one bad decision doesn’t define him. Now if you go back and say when he was 12 years old he was shoplifting and stealing cars and going wild, then that’s a different thing.

      LaVar was set to hold a news Conference in China the day after the arrest until counsel persuaded him to stand down. The lawyer were undoubtedly were afraid Ball would make an outlandish statement that would rile the Chinese authorities into making an example of the three players instead of showing lenience. The comments Ball made Friday Night are proof they were right not to trust him. Put a mic in front of LaVar and consequences be damned, he will always say what he thinks will garner the most attention.

      Now may take after reading all of this - - I don’t care if you Love Trump - - Hate Trump - - - Like Trump - -or just no opinion about Trump. - - -LaVar Ball is just a complete -Dum ASS.

      he says " It ain’t that Big of deal about China " - -Buddy you are soft - - real fricken soft. - for one - -these kids were in a foreign Country, to play Basketball, they were there representing the University of UCLA -their dumm ass decisions to decide OH well let’s just go and rip these glasses off from high end stores here in China, these stores have security camera’s thicker then ticks on a dogs back Their idiot decision to pull this stunt not only reflects on them, but their teammates , their school AND United States.

      LaVar Ball pops off and says " I’m from LA " - to which I say AND? - -your point? - -that makes you special? - that makes your kid exempt? - that means unless your from LA you ain’t squat? - what about the other kids backgrounds? - -umm say like NY – Chicago - -Detroit? you all big an d bad.

      Your idiot response - -saying Everyone wants to seem like he helped me out - -referring to Trump - -umm here is a news flash - - he DID help you out idiot , whether how big or small your not telling me that Trump talking to the Chinese authorities didn’t help you, - - get the hell out of here with that crap.

      You say if LiAngelo would of been shoplifting and stealing cars at the age of 12 - then it would of been different? - -Last time I checked I don’t give a fliipin frick whether your shoplifting - -stealing cars or whatever doesn’t matter if your 10 - - 12 - -15 - 20 - - 30 who gives a damn - your BREAKING THE LAW IDIOT I’m sure if you were to ask any local law enforcement they would pretty much agree with that.

      You don’t want to give Trump any credit for helping - maybe he should of let your boy sit in prison over in China for those 10 yrs, how you would of liked that? - They don’t play in these Countries this is serious to them - Your boy got very lucky. I wonder if Trump didn’t get involved and LaVar ran his mouth and the Chinese would of carried out the sentence - wonder what the other kids would of thought about LaVar running his mouth. - I WAS A BIG DEAL , you mean to tell me Li Angelo didn’t have money to buy these glasses? - -Please.

      Random NBA draft observations guys. 1 look out for Minnesota, I believe they are coming, and they are coming quickly, with our own Andrew Wiggins and now Towns? I feel they have got a very strong nucleus. 2 with the 76er’s drafting Okafor, what does the future hold for our boy Jo, Jo? possible trade? with not knowing for sure IF he is going to be able to play this coming year with his setback? plus they have the other big that didn’t get to play because of his injury what was his name again? 3rd. am I just a complete idiot or does anyone else feel Myles Turner got drafted way to high?

    • Frontline

      well, so let’s hear what’s it going to take to get production out of our front court? As much as it pains me, we are not going to win the NCAA title if we don’t get better point production from our front line. You just can’t expect our guards to carry ALL the way through the Championship.

      As mentioned last night multiple times by commentators I mean if you can’t get better production then 10 points out of our 3 frontline guys Lucas, Bragg, Udoka – were in trouble. The defense as we get deeper will adjust as we right now at this point have absolutely no inside threat.

      Landen have to say there is no excuse - -coach has said as much - - -Bragg I mean I’m really baffled there, should be getting more - – Udoka, I understand, he is very raw and I feel in time even by conference he is going to be a huge factor for us, BUT it just won’t happen, as good as our guards are we have to have some kind of inside presence, make the other teams play us straight up and not cheat off our bigs.

      Was a good game last night - - not great.we jumped out all over them right off the bat, and then I dunno it’s like we became dis-interested or something - - -Coach couldn’t of been happy, but it’s non-con have time to get things straightened out - -got to improve our free throw shooting – -rebounding got to get better- - - and get our to’s reduced - -AND GET HELP from our big’s - - - on to the next guy - -Georgia, gonna need to bring it - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • RE: Reality check from the land of Trust in Bill Self

      Found this kind of interesting. - - It was said, Yes Bill Self is 2-5 in the elite 8 - -that means we as in KU has made the elite 8 50% of the time since Coach Self has been here, Also said that they bet chances are all but a few of the 351 other Coaches would rally like to be in this position. - -Hmmmmm., this from a Coach that is getting questioned for making adjustments.

      Also read: Self has lost twice in the 1st round: - -Bucknell - - - & Bradley.- - Three times in the 2nd round: - - Northern Iowa - - -Stanford - - -& Wichita State. - - -Twice in the Sweet Sixteen- - Michigan State & Michigan. Five times in the elite 8: - - Georgia Tech - - UCLA - - VCU - - Villanova - - & Oregon - -Once in the Title - -Kentucky. Well hmmm, let’s see is it because Self didn’t make adjustments OR was it that on this particular night that the other team might of just been better? - - A lot of things go into a win. - -BUT let’s look at this another way.

      Bill Self is 12-2 in the 1st round - - - -Bill Self is 9-3 in the 2nd round - - -Bill self is 7-2 in the sweet sixteen - - -bill self is yes 2-5 in the elite 8 - - But Bill Self is 2-0 in the Semi’s - - -&- - -1-1 in the Title game.- - - -He is 33-13 in the NCAA tourney games - - let me say that again - - Bill Self is 33-13 in the NCAA tourney games - - that is a 71 .7 winning %- - - now I’m kind of curious - -I wonder for a guy that can’t or won’t make ajustments I wonder about ALL these other games - Coach didn’t make adjustments at any point in any other all these other games? - -Kind of odd, so ONLY in the elite 8 games he won’t make adjustments? - -I find that kind of odd. - -In all these other games even the ones he has won in the NCAA that he made no adjustments in any of them things tha t make you go hummmm.

      Only two other coaches have been to more elite 8’s then Coach- – Calipari with 9 - -three of those with Memphis - - -Williams with 8. - - One other thought - -you do realize that since 1979 ONLY 25% of the # 1 seeds have made it to the final 4 – Let me say that again. Since 1979 - -only 25 % of the # 1 seeds have made it to the final 4 - - -25 % - - hmmmm. - -Wonder why they didn’t make it any more then that? -was it because their coach couldn’t/wouldn’t make adjustments? - -OR maybe just maybe - -the shots just wasn’t falling -maybe it was just that the other team was just a little better on that particular night? - -Someone please tell me if we were to play a best out of 7 against Oregon who you think would take that series? - you know - -I know - -would it be because we are truly the better team? Anything can happen in a one game scenario - - such as shoots just not falling, not being in proper defensive position, not getting that key rebound - -So in this 7 game series that we know we would win - -Coach Self not making any adjustments OR are we hitting those same shots, better defensive position, getting key rebounds? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • I know but yet guys

      Hey, hope everyone is well, as we continue to slug thru this awful dead time of summer guys. Hope at least you all doing well got to have our gang stay strong and healthy. I’m doin pretty well, the wife not so much, came close to losing her and she is only 49, ya I like them younger or they like older hell I dunno but I’m hoping she is on the way back now.

      My thread is about Mitch, I’m sorry I have posted/ made comments before, but guys I really think when it’s all said and done, this kid will surprise. - Was reading a story today about him and Udoka taking a leadership role this season for Whitman and Preston early. They gave a perfect example, talking about how Jack missed an in-contested jump hook in an early drill - - -lunged at the ball kind of slammed it disgusted with himself and headed back to the end of the line. - - -Mitch didn’t accept that took over and told Whitman to FINISH THE DRILL/PLAY. - - Whitman finished with a layup was stated but he still FINISHED.

      The thing is my friends THAT’S what I’m talkin about, this kid seems to have a aggressive approach, everything about him, the kid just flat out goes out to help/do whatever needed. - -This was a minor thing but yet Mitch took over, took that leadership responsibility, they talk about Whitman and Preston looking at Mitch and Azubuike for leadership early on,

      Everything I have seen and read about Mitch maybe I’m just total delusional but man this kid, the time he DID have on the floor last year, he was giving 110% hustled out his butt, had some key plays, blocked some shots, like another poster stated on different site said for him being 6’8 which actually is kind of short for a PF Mitch had his fair share of blocked shots. - -Diving on the floor, rebounding, again as we all know he was a liability on defense some due to his lack of bulk BUT I feel this kid has the desire - - -the aggressiveness, - - -and leadership - -and heart to really help, he doesn’t lack in confidence I feel given some time this kid is going to be a good 4 year player for us - -these are the kids we need to help fill the roster, I’m not saying we need 13 of these types but I’m tellin ya - you don’t ever have to question about the kids heart and love about being a KU Jayhawk.

      One finishing side bar, Coach Self made mention that Billy Preston is probably as good as anybody we have had at the 4 spot physically since Coach has been here, that says something right there. - - -Stay safe my friends - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • Last night observations

      Well we are officially underway. - -A few of my observations from last night. - As we all are fully aware of it’s really kind of hard to get a good take on the guys from games like this , however with that being said:

      First I think Billy Preston has a really good chance to become a beast, looks to me like he is a physical specimen, has a chance to do some really good things, I think his biggest problem at the beginning anyways is being able to stay out of foul trouble. As that’s going to be the issue with ALL our big men that we do have.

      Another thing that I saw last night was, and by no means was he needed last night BUT in order for us to reach our maximum potential this season we can not have Devonte have any of these " Where is he nights " - Devonte was non exsistant, I full believe he was quite content with just more or less passing the ball off stepping back and letting all the others get involved and or doing their thing. I fully understand but even last night I think he should of been a little more in touch he was just to laid back last night. - -Again I think for us to succeed Devonte is going to need to be a 14-15 ppg player through the season, he needs to bring his game - -every game whether it’s actually needed or not , cause for the most part he is going to be needed game in game out.

      Next call me crazy but I’m just a Mitch Lightfoot fan - - I realize he is never going to be a major thing , but he battles - -he competes has the heart of a Lion. For sure just a spot player, but that can be Big. - With our front line so thin we are going to need minutes, last night while he played - -he tried - a couple of blocked shots a few points and a couple of rebounds - -that’s ok we don’t need huge point production from him -we need him to come in a spell Preston and Doke when in foul trouble , the thing for him he needs to stay away from that damn 3 pt attempted shooting not happening.

      Doke? - - we can’t gauge Doke from last nights game.- - I will say he needs work - - - seems looks still raw, the key is potential. - -Makes me really wonder what his future really is in the NBA. - -That’s not a knock- -BUT just plain and simple questions raised, The NBA is leaning more to smaller fluid player - -Doke seems to be one of the fewer pure bigs, question is in the flow of the NBA will he be able to keep up with the pace? -He needs work on his shots and conditioning - - Another thing man what’s it going to take to be able to get him to improve on his Ft shooting? - -It is going to be ugly, there is going to be times where anytime he gets open pretty much as been mentioned they going to hack instead of giving up the pts - he has got to work work work - -Gurly was saying last night he should be shooting 500 ft every day to work on it.

      Overall as a team- we looked good at times - -we looked sloppy for sometimes but it was really the 1st outing In reality. -just some thoughts - – next - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • Sam I am

      Well, just got through watching some very interesting video’s about Sam Cunliffe. - Have to say I was impressed. Gave some insight about Sam - -and there is three of them each one about 30 minutes long.

      The 1st one called: Sam I am ( the process )- - very well done - -very well done. - Shows the training he goes through, his everyday regiment - -workouts and such. I know some here don’t think he will amount to much - -I’m not here to say either he will -or he won’t BUT I tell you this kid is a worker - -really dedicated. - -His dad you can tell really worked him. Dad’s name is Mike love a couple of his quotes - his dad says to Sam " - Don’t fall in love with the mirror, Fall in love with the process " - Through these video’s you can tell Sam is really dedicated to becoming better every day. - Shows his workouts - -his trainer Jeff Harris - this guy knows his stuff I’m telling you. mercy the things they go through. - -

      After watching these I’m withholding judgement see how he turns out. - Is he a stud on the floor maybe no mega stud - BUT think he will for sure help. Kid is very family oriented -Respects GOD, really good sense of humor - -just seems like a very personable kid. - Not going to just automatically say he isn’t much. - The kid has some skills that’s for sure as shown in these. - Think I’ll just sit back and see how it shakes out for him. - Love his confidence - he says "You got to think your filthy - - to be filthy, - you have to work to be filthy nothing is given "

      Episode 2 - Seattle Mode isn’t as much about his on the court, but just more about him - -his family and Friends and trainer Jeff still very interesting watch. - -Again very family oriented - has 8 little sisters - -and his Mom - -the kid for sure loves his mom Michelle - and his mom - - sorry but - -all I can say umm WOW lol.

      Then Sam I am Episode 3 - - The transition more back to the court and workout regiment working with Jeff. - -lots of work. After watching these just make me realize I need to sit back give him some time to shake off the rust of being out for the transfer, I just think in the end run - this kid is going to surprise some people - -endless worker - seems like a really great kid.

      You get the chance I would highly recommend watching the Video or all 3 of them - -I did, called - Sam I am off you tube - -but for sure you need to watch the 1st one you won’t be sorry, just watching all the things he goes through with his training - -takes a lot of work very impressed. - -the 1st one is Sam I am ( the Process ) just check it out when you have time sometime I’m glad I did. - I think we got a good one here in more ways then one. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • His name is Mitch.

      Well Mitch stood up last night didn’t he? Without Mitch we would not of won that game last night. - - Mitch had 9 points - - - 7 rebounds - - Drew a Charge - - - Made a 3 - -& 6 blocks. - I would call that quite the night for a kid of his stature. On top of that, most of this was during a very critical stretch of the game.

      Now does this mean Mitch is some stud or is her going to repeat tonight’s performance the next time he steps on the floor? - - Possibly not - -probably not. - - Does this mean Mitch should get more minutes? - -No , not necessarily , not at all. What this does say is , and Coach said this days before this game and I think this just says what Coach said - -what this does do is, that even when Billy & Silvio get cleared - -IF they ever do , what this shows is that even when these guys are cleared that quite likely Mitch’s minutes are not going to just magically dwindle - -Mitch will still get minute , and deservedly so.

      Mitch is not some super stud elite athlete , what Mitch is though is one of those type of guys like we hear about that brings his lunch pail with him to the floor every night. - He may not and is not pretty most the time when he is on the floor a lot of times now will he muddle it up our next time out - - get beat on defense - -make silly turnovers at times? - - possibly - -probably. Thing is how is that different from ANY other player on this team? - - Every single one has looked ugly at times - -really ugly. - - - Does this change anything on Mitch’s future like for next year, we don’t know , cause I’m sure that won’t be discussed to next year or off season - -I’m referring to him possibly red shirting. - -Would it still be more beneficial for Mitch to red shirt next season? - - Hell ya, because lie people have stated we are going to be much deeper and NEXT year his minutes quite likely will be less - -give him next year with Hudy get some girth/bulk , he will be a very decent role player with plenty of moments for us just like tonight on the floor.

      The big thing I’m driving at is there are SOME that think Mitch shouldn’t be at Ku isn’t good enough - that he should be at a mid major - umm no he shouldn’t Mitch is right where he should be. Again Coach offered him for a reason Coach seen things and evaluated things that there is no way we know what he see’s in Mitch. - All I know is what coach said and that is he isn’t sure that if and when Billy and De Sousa get cleared that doesn’t mean Mitch’s minutes going to be cut. - -Mitch is a overall’s and work shirt type of player - -not a suit and tie type of player. - - -The one thing that surprises me though When I look at Mitch and ya just curious to what you think - -when I look at Mitch I would of NEVER thought that Mitch would be a shot blocker like he is - -does he you?

      Summary? - -I’m just trying to say that Mitch is not as bad as some want to make him out to be , like insinuating he shouldn’t see the floor - - I’m not saying he should get increased playing time , BUT when we get Billy & De Sousa - -Mitch still gonna get minutes. - -He will be that guy that gives breaks in case of foul trouble to Billy - - Silvio - - Doke or just to give them a break for a few minutes that’s all. - -Now you can twist this around in any shape or form you want - color it however you want , but the bottom line is if it weren’t for mitch last night our butts would of been toast, it was him that came up HUGE in a very critical time of the game - coach was talking him up glowing about him in his post game pretty simple. - -Good game and hoping to see more. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Even though feel chances with Zion are very slim - -it was sooooooo, sweet to see him school Ball on more then one occasion. One trip down the floor Ball was guarding him - -well I’ll use that term very loosely and Zion left him holding his strap finished with a monster flush, Another time Ball’s lazy pass - -Zion steals and flush. Man I love anything making the Ball clan look stupid and Zion did EXACTLY that, Where ever Williamson lands that School is getting a stud. - -Williamson took on THREE defenders one time and finished plus one - -just crazy. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • taking notice

      well here to say, really taking notice we are at least getting visits from higher profile players with this staff. Granted it may be just a courtesy visit but still at least their coming. a 5 star running back visited or is visiting out of California najee davis I believe is his name, again yes its just a visit, but I just feel maybe this current group of coaches are attracting at least some how getting these players enough attention to come visit and that CAN’T BE A BAD THING you have to see that as a step in the right direction before you wouldn’t dream of seeing such a thing with past staff there has been multiple players coming in to look this off season hopefully he can get us headed in the right direction GO HAWKS

    • RE: your take/input - -curious?

      @mayjay Boy that is a good question, haven’t really given that a whole lot of thought, something for the ol guy to ponder on this afternoon - - dam now you got me trying to think & it hurts lol. - - Over rated? hmmm.

      You know funny you brought up the Yankee’s reference - -seeing as how I’m a HUGE Yankees fan - -always have been - -always will be - -BUT used to live in a very small rural town in south Central Kansas, about 15 miles north east of Wichita, the town was named Benton. About half way between Wichita and El Dorado - - anyways used to live right across the street from and elderly man who actually play professional; ball - - never really made it big in the majors but - -was in that same time frame with Babe and Gehrig - - his name was Ralph Wyngarner not sure if that how the last name was spelled but - - - he had a room in his house that was really special.

      Ralph use to play for the team called I believe Red stockings or something like that - -he actually if you can believe it or not won the pinch hitter of the year in the minor leagues it was crazy. He had pic of all the big time players, had his old mitt, his old uniform,. used to hang out with Phil R, Pee Wee Reese, Gehrig, Ruth told me stories, I could listen to him for hours - -look at all the memorabilia.

      His wife would always tell me get Ralph to tell you about some of the times they would go out crazy - -as you know the Babe was quite the partier. Ralph had one of the very last balls the Babe actually personally autographed. Ralph’s wife Ruth was at the game one time during Babe’s last days and had a ball she wanted him to autograph, - -Ralph told her not to bother him - -bug him about that or with that, that he wasn’t feeling good - -The Babe ask Ralph bother me about what? - -He says oh she wanted to see if you would autograph this ball AND he did - - I can still remember that room just filled with treasure, and photo’s and stories. - - Sorry got carried away - -got off track - -ahh the good old days - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • RE: Ok so lets see if new recruiting thread

      Well I’m thinking I might have found the answer to our problem with the lack of a big man depth.

      After long consideration and discussing it over with the family - -I’ve decided I am going to enroll at KU and play for KU.

      I can post them up with the best - I’m 6 ft and have the bulk 205 lbs only had 3 back surgeries and 2 knee surgeries, I know I could make it up and down the floor at least twice a game, I definitely can finish a play flushing as long as I have a sturdy step ladder and get Mitch to hold it for me - -planning on talking to Coach I’m sure he will offer, BUT on ONE condition - I have to have proof I will start lmao - -what ya think guys? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    • NFL Draft

      Guys now don’t hammer me BUT was watching the NFL Draft and Joe Mixon was drafted by Cincinnati. As we ALL know Joe Mixon is a guy that busted the woman in the face his freshman year and broke 4 bones in her face. Now that was in 2014 , he was suspended the entire year , had to take anger management classes and the civil suit has been settled.

      SO, my question is - - WHY did ESPN feel it necessary to show the film from 2014 of Joe Mixon hitting this woman? - -DAMM right he was wrong , and he got everything he deserved maybe needed more BUT why does this station feel the need to show that on his draft night? some thing that happened three years ago and he has dealt with?

      I’m not trying to justify his actions by ANY MEANS - -but I just don’t get ESPN judgement. - -I mean all they saying OH Cincinnati going to have to deal with this now, Joe is going have to answer to the media. – -I wouldn’t - -I wouldn’t answer shit. - -I made the mistake , I paid for the mistake - -they have settled the case So why you wanna drag this shit back up? - they didn’t want to talk about his football talent, just drag up things - -guess it’s just me I don’t understand -Hell 4 picks later they still talking about it - -get off that crap move on. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
