Mind-boggling as it seems, don't the nimrod Kentucky fans realize that any racial slur hurled at Andrew is secondarily hurled at everyone on their own team??

I had a Kentucky friend, and let me emphasize the word "HAD", who I was talking to about UK vs KU basketball. I asked him how difficult it was not to have continuity with the players being all OADs.

His response ended our relationship. He said simply, " Aw, I don't worry about it...Coach Cal will just bring in another new set on monkees!!"

He said it with such casual nonchalance that I knew I was done with this butthead forever. I am afraid that this attitude is not uncommon in Lexington!!

HEM.

YES..only if we can maintain a steady supporting cast of quality 3 and 4 year kids, YES, if we can avoid the morass and stench of the AAU, YES if we can get OADs only of BenMac and Andrew's quality, YES if our elite program can maintain the highest standards for all players..............yeah, I guess I do know the answer.

EVOLUTION OF KANSAS AS A FUTURE OAD POWERHOUSE.

1] Paul Pierce first Jayhawk to leave early.

2] Followed by Mario, the Twins and TRob.

3] In the meantime, Josh Selby first KU OAD..Disappointing results by both player and school.

4] Xavier Henry enters as second OAD, better results but far from perfect.

5] BenMac enters as third OAD...results are much improved all the way around..probable Top Three Pick.

6] Andrew comes in as fourth OAD..potential for sensational results including the Top Draft Pick.

7] Next logical step, based on a successful year career by AW1, multiple OADs come to Lawrence.

8] Momentum is starting to build as kids see both PT and developemnt under HCBS, Hudy, etc. Kansas enters in direct competition with UK as OAD Central.

9] Calipari is finally caught, UK falls and Kansas emerges as the Mecca of OADs and basketball excellence.

10] My only question.....do I really want this to happen????

That was more a function of BenMac's personality, than Bill's strategy. I think Self wouild have been thrilled of BenMac had become the "alpha dog" that Andrew quite frankly already is.

Wing penetration will NOT be a problem for 2013-134!!

Ravens sign KU’s Dayne Crist

It's rare but sometimes it happens that an athlete that struggles at a lower level of competition, finds his niche in the pro ranks. [Although, this occurence is much more common in baseball than football, it does occasionally happen].

Let's be realistic here...pro teams sign a number of quarterbacks to act as throwing machines during preseason tryouts to save their veterans. And he did play at Notre Dame, always a buzz word for NFL GMs.

All things considerd the best Dayne will do is possibly make the practice squad.....but still, to be invited by the Super Bowl Champs is a real plus in his football resume.

As a fellow Jayhawk, I wish him the very best of luck.
