  1. They've improved, not evolved. And tobacco still helps you hit a baseball.
  2. True, but it's not genetic evolution either. It's improved health understanding and execution.
  3. Evolution takes thousands if not millions of years. The overall population/health/training capacity does improve every year though. That is why we might not see another Wilt Chamberlain for another 30 years.
  4. I can't wait for this season to start, who is our first game?
  5. Hamm is kicking ass? Yeah, we're deep.
  6. Wait a second, when Michael Jordan was able to dunk taking off at the free throw line, that was like a big deal, right? Like few athletes can do that?
  7. Wait we're having a 3-pt contest? I hope Jericho Sims wins it.
  8. That and he'll be a starter this year instead of coming off the bench so his numbers should go up accordingly.
  9. Supposedly there's a scrimmage tonight on Longhorn Network. I don't think I get that channel though
  10. We finally have a deep team. That's the best thing possible for the next few years of college basketball--to have standout freshmen who won't even have to take a lead role until their sophomore or junior years. Billy Donovan's Florida squads benefitted greatly from that too during the height of his tenure there. They lost their top 3 players to graduation and the pros the year before they won the championship.
  11. It's possible Elijah Long could be the best outside shooter on the roster (assuming AJ is still sidelined). He shot 38% from behind the arc in 2017 on 100+ attempts which is better than any of our guys shot it in 2018.
  12. I was being a bit sarcastic when I said that, joking about how negative some of the people around here are on him. Personally, I've liked his game since he got here and expect to see some leadership from him this year as a senior in this post-Bamba universe.
  13. It's whatever gets the job done. Pressing is an in-game decision. You go to it at the right times, it can get you some key turn-overs. It depends on the players you have on the floor and what players they have. If you have better ball-handling out there than they do, press. The good news for pressing is we should have a lot of depth with fresh legs to come in and provide defensive energy.
  14. We could struggle down low. Sims can't do it all by himself and we all know DO is a fat, lazy fuck. How will we defend giants like Azubuke at Kansas and Sagne Kobate at WVU. I really hope that Hepa and Hayes are ready to go, and that Liddell is up to the task of defending beyond his height.
  15. I shouldn't even bother to respond to another terrible Derka post, but I'm bored. Look, no one is predicting our freshmen to cut down the nets in March. Some are predicting KU's to. Yes I am high on our incoming freshman class--I think they are giving Smart the first really full nucleus of widespread talent that he has had across the board on a roster since he came to UT. That doesn't mean I don't think they'll struggle in their freshman year, I think they will. That doesn't change the fact that we have 5 strong freshmen coming in, plus transfer Elijah Long.
  16. I don't get all the dick-licking for Kansas in the pre-season. Yeah they look pretty good on paper but it's all newcomers and freshmen. Their losses are significant--Graham and Mikaliuk were stalwarts for them the last 2 years and good leaders. Mikailiuk in particular has pretty much been the unsung hero of KU basketball the last 2 years. So their 2 best players are gone, and the services of Malik Newman will be missed as well. They add a nice freshman backcourt in Grimes and Dotson, but they are FRESHMEN. The NCAA is not high school. Those 2 guys will be going up against guys who are 2-3 years older than them on a regular basis and that might be a problem for them. Vick has shown flashes of brilliance but has a reputation of being hard to coach. Ask-a-bookie is a handful down low, that I will admit. All but the elitist teams will struggle to defend him. But his ball-handling and passing is not proven. The Lawson twins will probably help a lot, but we've yet to see the chemistry of all of this. It's too soon to declare this KU team as destined for the final four--just too many question marks right now.
  17. There's no question who Shaka trusts, he trusts Coleman and Snoop. We saw that at the end of last year, in the end of critical games the ball was in Coleman's hands or Snoop's. You say that shooting and D are holes. That's true, but I don't necessarily agree they are big holes. We'll need to defend, and we'll need to shoot a higher percentage from 3 this year, but both of those things are what talented basketball players live to do, and we have talented ball players on the roster. I think it's absurd that Coleman isn't mentioned in this Athlon Preseason mag's list of top 100 players in the country. He outplayed Tre Young in both OU games last year.
  18. Well I really don't have an idea of what their impact will be this season until I see them play. What I do know is that they're all basically top 100 guys with some hype about them coming in. Not Duke/Kentucky one-and-done level hype, but some hype. Given 5 of them, all competing in practice, I suspect that one or two of them will have a significant positive impact for us this year, maybe more than 2.
  19. Good point. It's a really deep team as I see it and will be guard-heavy. That's probably not a bad thing necessarily. Who was Villanova's "rim protector" last year? Give me 4 quality guards who can all handle, pass, and shoot and our offensive problems are a thing of the past. Cunningham might be a redshirt this year, btw.
  20. Freshmen will be fighting for minutes on this team with 4 established starters taking big minutes, and 5 huge freshmen recruits competing with Elijah Long and returning bench guys Jase Febres and Royce Hamm. It'll be competitive as hell for minutes on this roster and the team should benefit from seeing only the best of them out on the floor.
  21. Nice to see VY out there. Hook 'em.
  22. Lulz. Goo Punch is right about his basketball opinions about as much as a broken clock, which makes the fanaticism and incredulity he posts with all the more insufferable. Just last year during a hard-fought and basically encouraging season, he referred to our head coach as a "sociopath" who throws his players under the bus in postgame interviews.
  23. Oh, and I like how you mentioned Rick's post-game interviews and though they were honest and insightful. Those were some of the saddest, most inane, repetitious, mechanical speeches I've ever heard in my life. When we finally get a break from the fucking car commercials and shit brought to you by voice of the Longhorns guy, Rick would answer every question with "again, " and then some retarded bullshit. I can't believe I wasted so much of my time listening to that bullshit.
  24. If "he coddles his players and uses too much coachspeak" is seriously your biggest complaint then I feel confident heading into this season under Shaka.
