At least now we know he can shoot from inside and outside and has great long distance accuracy.

Shooting a BB gun out the window is typical college behavior. Choosing people as targets is the thing that worries me.

I want the bench area where Roy looked so confused and frustrated in the semi's.

I only see one mistake in this article. Huggins didn't walk out on K-State, he tripped out.

On Mayer: Self’s contract complex

Posted on April 24 at 9:02 a.m.

I love Mario, he has been my favorite player on the team since about Christmas of his freshman year. That is about the time Self took point guard duties away from him an gave them to RusRob. If you remember, Mario had some terrible games his freshman year at the point. A couple of 6 turonover, no assist, no points type of games that he only played 5-10 minutes and sat the rest.

I was a Celtics fan in the Bird Era and watched tons of thier games (because every game they played seemed to be on TV) Mario reminds me so much of Dennis Johnson. Even the way his shot hits the back of the iron and goes straight through without moving the net. DJ was a great point guard, but he was at his best when he played more of the second 2 guard and Bird was "point forward".

Mario is best like that too. He can bring the ball up the court fine, but he is not a true point guard. He is that guy who spots up and hits the three when the denfense collapses. He is the guy cutting to the basket when three point hitting forward gets double teamed.

I dont think he will go high in the draft or make it in the NBA as a pure point guard. But he could be one of the all time greats with a great distributor like Bird, or maybe even a better fit today, LeBron. LeBron made a lot of money for Daniel Gibson in the playoffs a couple of years ago doing what I described above. Mario could eat Daniel Gibson's lunch.

If I were Mario, I would come back and be the scorer that Rush refused to be much of his career. He could go from borderline tweener to the lottery with a full season of being two time Final Four MOP, Defensive Player of the Year, All-time NCAA steals leader, 08-09 NCAA scoring leader and THE scorer and leader of next year's repeat National Champions.

The only way we would have a Self Stadium in 2018 is if we had 10 National Championships under Self by that time. That would not be too bad.

I loved the '86 team. They seemed like they had the textbook example of everything you wanted at every position but Center. I did not think we would ever win again when Kellogg, Thompson, and Hunter graduated. 38 of 39 games had the same starting 5.

When Archie hurt his knee--Correction-- When DUKE hurt Archie's knee, it was the first time I cried over a sporting event.

I would love to see that team play this year's team. But the stats and the banners say this team was the best.

It depends how you look at it. Based on records and talent (except D Manning of course), I would say the '88 team was one of the worst we have had since the Ted Owens Era, but they won it all.

Thank you and good luck! Take the money and run, that is why you go to college.

I guess under his logic, nothing is a crime if more than one person is doing it. Law enforcement has no right to ask anyone to do anything unless they ask everyone at once. If they don't then they are singling people out.

I agree with txrockchalk. I still think about that stupid Mayer article today.

It is bad journalism to cover stuff up if you have a team full of thugs. It is just pure hatred or envy or greed that keeps trying to destroy these kids at all the wrong times for them and the best time for the paper.

I would never pay a dime to read this crap. Maybe the fans should start boycotting their online advertisers and the JW would stop trashing the same people that create their jobs.

Two words: Lifetime Contract.

It is what both Self and KU want. Self wants "security" and KU wants a career coach. He is not going to lose the fire or forget how to coach if he gets one. It will also help recruiting.
