KU all-WTF team

[randylahey]

how has nobody mentioned silvio de sousa

[pdub]

PhD and I did.

[zsn]

Selby?

[CrimsonNBlue]

Selby?

Selby doesn't belong anywhere near this list. Josh Jackson is more worthy.

[ousdahl]

that chicken and ribs in Bruce Pearl's back yard is as damning as anything else mentioned, at least according to The Rules.

[Deleted User 863]

Selby was a model citizen while at KU.

Jackson wasn't perfect off the court, but he was awesome on the court, so this list isn't for him either.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Jackson was arguably the most immature player we've ever had on the court. Keeping him reeled in and focused has been an issue for his entire basketball career.

I don't think he was egregious by any means, but more worthy than Selby.

Do kids parents and guardians count as members of the WTF team?
How many of them do you figure financially benefitted off of their kids being on the team - before and while the kids were on the team? The correct answer is..... A lot more than 1 but a lot less than a million.

[ousdahl]

when Self introduced Morningsleeves for his senior speech, he described him as "both the oldest player he'd ever coached, and somehow also the least mature"

but yeah, Josh is a head case, but that might be part of what makes him great. Are his on-court antics immaturity, or just emotion? but I suppose one could just call the issue emotional maturity

Yep, it's his gift and his curse. Plenty of athletes like him.

[ousdahl]

yeah, if you could bottle that up and give it to Andrew Wiggins, maybe...nm


anywho so all star reserves announced tomorrow!

[KU76erfan]

Lester Earl?

[sdoyel]

Giddens
Bragg
Tharpe
Green
Giles

[ousdahl]

I suppose Greene stands out in that he was the only one who get disciplined for shit that actually went down in the locker room

[NewtonHawk11]

Giddens
Bragg
Tharpe
Green
Giles

I mean, there is no other answer.

[pdub]

I'm sure there is more to their stories, ( as in prior issues with discipline ) but with Bragg, if you look at his incidents, the first where he was booked, it was found that he didn't do anything wrong.

And then there was the sexual assault in the dorms that turned out to not be related to the KUBB team but during a search the police find a bong.

Mario Little beating the shit out of a baseball player and throwing his girlfriend into a sink is worse than having your cray cray lady friend push you in a stairwell and say you did it and smoking some weed.

And then Tharpe, again, who knows whatever discipline issues there were, but do we know if he knew that lady was married? Do we know more to the story - if she was just dancing up on him with her shirt off? He didn't get kicked off the team, he just transferred.

Not saying they shouldn't be candidates - but they aren't locked in starters.

[PhDhawk]

No doubt starters:

De Sousa
Giles
Little

[pdub]

Giddens is also no doubt for me.
Prima donna on the court, trouble off.

[CrimsonNBlue]

The Giles stuff was so long ago I forgot how bad it was.

Vick got kicked off squad twice. Giles once. Little absolutely should have been, that was a mistake made by Bill in a different era.

Start there.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Greene is really close as he was asked to leave but was able to finish out the season.

Tharpe was also not welcomed back but that was about his poor play and not his behavior.
