Mangino going about his business

I see players ruffing each other up after making big plays or scoring touchdowns. Players helmet butt each other. Players take punishing blows from opponents as a part of the game. Texas Tech coach says that retaliation for telling someone something that they don't want to hear is a part of the game.
Perkins is out of line for taking this to the media prematurely. This could potentially be our best recruiting year and Perkins shot the program I the foot. Perkins needs to be a big man and appologize to the fan base for his irrational exuberance.

On target

No body really plays well in the first couple of games. That is one reason the Memphis game was so sloppy. Even Memphis played bad.

Mangino's contract outlines probe

I am glad to see Kansas win one Orange Bowl in my lifetime.

Harris voices his support for coach

Mangino needs to keep 100 kids focused on winning. Several kids are competing to play. Some kids are easy to work with and others are difficult. The kids who do what they are supposed to will succeed and others will sit on the bench. Mangino is right, this is life. Harris said what needed to be said but didn't say the obvious. Maybe Wright was doing some stuff that he wasn't supposed to be doing and therefore was disaplined? I think it was wrong for Perkins to release the information to the media. Mangino has done a good job of keeping disapline under wraps so that the kids are not embarassed. Perkins is going to hurt the program because "loose lips sink ships".

The great escape

Do they have organized practices before these games? They played like they just crawled out of bed. Cole was they only one who seemed to be prepared for this game.

Morris twins Tiger targets

Morris Bros are lucky not to be with Calipari but instead are gaining wisdom from an NBA Pro, Danny Manning. Bigs at that time didn't know what a prize that was until people saw what a difference 1 year made with Cole Aldrich. Danny has done an awesome job developing these guys for Self to make them Champions!

Reed a leader for Kansas men

Cap and Love,
I agree, Tyrel is more advanced and has the ability and the smarts. I have seen players with crazy athletic ability in college or the NBA do ill-advised stuff and blow games for thier teams. Tyrel provides good minutes for this team allowing others to rest and recieve instruction from coaches. In no way does the quality or tempo of this team diminish when Tyrel is on the floor. We are fortunate to have a floor leader like Tyrel on the team. He will do well in life.

Markieff improving around the rim

I think that the Morris bros will feel a lot more energetic from the work in the weight room this summer. As an endurance athlete, their bodies will run more efficiently and they will finish the games stronger. Last year they got pushed around and dominated. This year, they will be the punishers and will dominate the paint. I can't wait to watch them play.

Senior Little ponders sitting out this season

I think the extra year will benefit them and next year's team. Self will continue to recruit elite players. It is highly likely that a magority of the kids coming into the program each year wont be playing 4 years. Therefore the maturity and experience of Little, Releford and Teahan will be needed next year more than this year. I think that it is highly likely Self will get commitments from Barnes and Knight. I also think that next year will be as good as this. Withey, Johnson, Morris, Morris, Robinson, Taylor?, CJ, Morningstar, Reed, Little, Releford, Teahan, Woolridge,...

Morris twins adding bounce to their step

jangaroo,

I agree, I am a big believer in strength training and very impressed by their motivation to get into the gym. I hope to see them more active and stronger around the rim and in the paint. I think that their summer progress should lead to more rebounds and put backs and this is where the good players really establish themselves. It is always fun if a player shows the flash and makes great dunk. However, if that dunk spectacularily bounces off of the back of the rim and back into the hands of the opponents, it's sad.
