Phoenix prep signs with KU

Technically, basketball started in Springfield, Mass., but KU did hire the game's inventor as its first coach (who was KU's worse coach by wins & losses).

Youth movement

Knowing we are short on career starts, how are won on career games play or snaps/plays played? Just because someone didn't start doesn't necessarily mean they don't have any experience.

route66..."innocent until proven guilty" is a concept that hasn't been practiced in our society for years and years now.

Stepping up

It's the Internet people...linking is the name of the game...good grief...people who are hyper-critical of the LJW, need to really find something more constructive to do with their time.

Aldrich’s dad: Cole content at KU

Keithsmile...nice sentiment for a person who may have sacraficed more than we know for his son...."go take care of yourself"...typical "me first" mentality in our society now days...and people make fun of the old days when families took care of each other....good grief.

KU freshman Elijah Johnson undergoes knee scope

Everyone mentioning ACL may be jumping to conclusions...the article mentions cartilage tear...not a ligament tear (like an ACL). I think cartilege is "soft" tissue between bones...in this case it might be a meniscus tear.

It’s time to change NBA Draft rule

The one think MLB has that the NBA doesn't is a well established minor league system. Yes high schoolers can get drafted by MLB teams, but they then go to work in the minor leagues. High schoolers drafted by the NBA more likely than not find themselves on an NBA bench and not having a chance to develop their game.

In order for the MLB rule to work in basketball, NBA would have to spend dollars and resources to come up with a minor league, which I suspect they are unwilling to do when NCAA will do it for "free".

Recruit 'circus' coming

All this worrying about keeping everyone happy seems to be misplaced to me:
1. It was said before with Brandon, Mario, RR, Kahn and the supporting cast...we had no goto guy and everyone will be unhappy...I think everyone was happy in the end.
2. The "newbies" knew what they are getting into when they signed on after Collins and Aldrich announced their returns.
3. The current players can transfer if they aren't up to the task...KU has had a couple of these already...rumors of Releford leaving seem to be just that...rumors.

Not saying Releford is pleased with his PT, but hopefully he uses that as motivation over the summer. It just may be his PT will be significant in years 3 & 4 if he sticks it out.

Under Self, it is quite clear...you want to play, then you need to put in the work and take advantage of any opportunity given. The margin for error is going to be small, but the potential rewards can be great. I personally want kids at KU that want a challenge and are willing to push themselves. The kids that want PT given to them can go elsewhere....anything worth having requires hard work and sacrifice.
