Is that some sort of fetish request? I can't possibly understand it being anything other than that - ya know, with logic and everything.

Yeah, that's why I had to ask. Now Wiggins did quit on us. But Embid got injured.

Would be, but this isn't the team for that. Fortunately, more threes is the best and most efficient way to play basketball these days.

Sosinski is a 6'8'' Tight End on the KU football team. Last year he played JUCO at South Mountain Community College averaging 20ppg and 13rpg. Was recruiting by many D1 teams including Washington State. Could be some short term help if the Preston situation doesn't get sorted out.

We sure struggled to score against that super long Kentucky team.

Sounds like practice fodder. They need De Sousa for some depth.

Nobody quit anything. Wiggins just wasn't that good. And despite the contract, he still isn't.

They'll beat Syracuse. How is a zone defense supposed to beat this offense?

Probably is, but I keep thinking it would be fun to get a guy like Julius Peppers was at UNC. I was too young to pay attention to if he helped the team at all, but my fucking god it was fun to watch him just end people. He was a man playing at a middleschool game. :-)

De Sousa doesn't look like a done deal for this year.

-------------------------------------

KU basketball signee Silvio De Sousa, a 6-foot-9 senior forward from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., still has some work to do before he can be ruled eligible to play in second semester games for the Jayhawks.

De Sousa on Saturday will take a standardized test for a final time this semester and needs to improve his score, which will be matched with his performance in core courses to see if he�s eligible.

If not eligible to play in games, De Sousa might not enroll at KU until June.

That�s because if he arrives in December and can�t play in games, he would not be eligible to play in games until second semester of the 2018-19 season. If he stays at IMG or heads to junior college, he�d be eligible at the start of next season.

Wait, what?

Wiggins is 22 years old and through 4 seasons is averaging over 20 points a game in the NBA. That's not awful numbers, sir.

Isn't that from the KC Star? Yeah, they've never shown an agenda against KU :-) Did Laura Bauer write it?

You should read Jason King's new book. I read an excerpt that said Wiggins didn't want to get injured before the NBA and that affected his play. That's why Josh Jackson was so much better. Josh wanted to win, badly.

Wiggins isn't any diff in the pros tho, so I don't buy that explanation at all.

He is just an inefficient athletic freak who never had to learn to shoot or dribble (hence penetrate the lane), so he didn't.
