Kansas Crimson

Twitter right now (which is recapping the morning's testimony of Bowen's dad) is a great example why I'm just not overly concerned about our fate in all of this. Bowen's testimony touched, briefly, on maybe a dozen different teams, and an equal variety of ways they would get money to Bowen. This is ...

Right. I think it also means someone who can really make plays off the dribble, which is something more than being able to put it down a couple times and get to the rack.

We have done a version of this dance nearly every year it seems. In my mind, I tend to think of a "point guard" as being best described as a "primary ballhandling guard", so that would capture guys who are also alpha scorers (like Frank and Devonte).

It's never, ever going to stop raining here in KC.

In the context of the difference between being a contender and being the favorite, yes.

Most people I know weren't big Trump fans, but they were terrified that Dowdy would win, so they went out of their way to vote for Trump and drove all of their friends with them. Some things are an abomination and must be prevented at all costs. So how will all those people vote when Clinton isn't ...

I...think we don't have a point guard. This is not ideal.

It's also the case that The Rules - which are over 400 pages last I checked - present a needlessly complicated compliance standard.

i've often wondered what the compliance folks (6 of 'em?) are doing, and if they aren't catching on to things like Preston's car earlier in the process (would seem an obvious red flag), wtf is all that money getting spent on? Probably making sure we don't provide cream cheese or jelly ("extras...

What I hope - and of course I'm seeing this through crimson and blue glasses - is that there's no fucking way we'd play the hyper-conservative card with Preston's situation...only to end up playing a knowingly-compromised guy in his place. I just cannot believe we'd be so stupid with SDS after being...

SDS doesn't have to leave school, but he probably shouldn't play in games if we want to be on the safe side. Especially if we think/know the allegations are true. Self probably hates the ncaa, but he's greatly benefitted from the system too, so he might be hesitant to risk his HOF reputation taking...

1. This is obviously huge for KU with respect to Silvio's availability. Unless we know something the NCAA does not (yet) know, there's zero reason to sit him now. . I guess the main reason would be so that we don't open ourselves up to having to vacate any additional wins...and by the letter of the...

Could they? Sure. But it's hard when there's nothing like a union, and where an individual player's damages are necessarily pretty limited and short-term in nature.

I missed this on Friday. In Adidas college hoops trial, everyone agrees on facts. Will NCAA take action? https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/in-adidas-college-hoops-trial-everyone-agrees-on-facts-will-ncaa-take-action/2018/10/05/406dd74a-c89b-11e8-b1ed-1d2d65b86d0c_story.html According to...

As long as it doesn't hurt us too much on the other end, sure. But it certainly seems like Dedric is an indifferent defender (at best), so I worry some about smaller teams (which: they're all going to be smaller) abusing us a bit.

No odd men out this year. Self has the luxury of yanking anyone who isn't hustling on defense from the game and inserting another body. McCormack will play a minimum of 15 min per game spelling Dok. It will be hell on the opposing defense because they will have to guard a player who has a nice touc...

Preach. College basketball fraud trial: We're at this point because the NCAA is ethically bankrupt https://sports.yahoo.com/college-basketball-fraud-trial-point-ncaa-ethically-bankrupt-191446567.html The real issue is: Why is this even a problem? Or shocking? Maybe for those who haven’t been paying ...

Oh of course that was all pretext.

Are we seriously not talking about this? Bowen said Dawkins originally mentioned they could get $60-80K from Adidas for going to Louisville, but it rose to $100K because "Billy Preston had gotten $100K" from Adidas for going to Kansas. This is a good example of why I’m not worried - based...
