Damn, I didn't know we had so many bad fans in our midst. Why have you all been so critical over the last year of poor Perry? Don't you know he represents us all with impeccable class and honor?

Critical and hating the guy, wishing he wasnt here is completely different. Really proud of the way Perry represented himself and his school, being an instate kid and all. Hes gotten better every year, and this is the toughest and most consistent hes been out of all his 4 years. Hes also our ONLY threat in the paint this year. We are gonna miss him

I think the perry doesn't have that nasty insanity people love. He is plenty strong and is a tough ass worker. Where did that 3 ball come from? That is long hours working on that. He has a good head on his shoulders with confidence.

I still stand by a lot of my comments on Ellis. Though he's played better as of late. Can't stand soft people in the paint though and that's what he is. He's a terrible rebounder who gets pushed around in the paint. Hardly anyone on this team can really rebound though, other than Lucas (the only reason why he plays at all) and Frank Mason (a ****ing sub 6ft PG).

He's a quiet finesse scorer with touch. Sometimes plays timid. Just wish he was more physical but I guess he's never going to be that. I will say this though, the Jayhawks are A LOT better when he's draining 3's from the top of the key. I am glad he's developed some range. That seems to be his shot and Self has given him the green light.

I guess I just can't stand KU not having a dominant big man. That will change in a year. Anyone know any updates on Thon Maker or whatever his name is?

It was a rhetorical question. Nobody here actually hates the guy. Some just don't like watching him play and there's nothing wrong with that. We all have our favourites on these teams and mine aren't necessarily going to be the same as yours (and vice versa). That's just part of following a team.

I love Perry more as a person than a player. From things I've heard he's such a stand up guy. But I do agree that defensively he's just not that good.

Selden pisses me off the most like we've discussed. He always leaves me wanting more. I bet Self pulls his own hair out trying to get him to just be who we all know he can be consistently.

Perry just doesn't have the tools to he any better than an average defender. It certainly isn't from lack of effort though. (Unless you want to claim he needs to put more time in the weight room getting stronger, etc.)

I wish Perry nothing but the best. I hope we can send him off with NCAA Tournament Championship game MVP.

Your shitty fandom is no less shitty through plurality, nor is your opinion validated by echo.

You can take out your pent up sanctimonious frustration on a single target all you want, but this idea that I'm some kind of hypercritical exception to the norm around here is more than a bit ridiculous.

I'm sure it must be nice being a better fan than the rest of us disrespectful hellions, though.

Congratulations! You're now in the same mold as CoMo, the worst KU fan in CP history. :shake:

And I may have said he played soft, but that didn't mean that I wanted him gone. This year, he has gotten tougher. Not as tough as I'd hoped but I still stand by my opinion that he gives this team much more than he gives up to opponents. Perry is very valuable. Just like we tried to tell CoMo that Sasha Kaun was not the most gifted offensively, he was extremely valuable on the defensive end.

That's crazy I'm still in your head.

I'll admit I've never been the biggest Perry fan. But, as of late, I think Perry has been playing quite a bit tougher. Almost like last year where he seemingly transformed mid season into a tougher/stronger player before he got injured, he's seemingly gotten tougher. I've been impressed as of late at how well he's playing. He's still softer on the defensive side of the ball, but I think he's played a lot tougher on that side.

What makes Perry such a good offensive post player is that he can stretch the defense out the 3. He's always had a good 15 foot shot, but adding in the consistency on the 3 ball has opened it up for him & everyone else on the team. It's a big advantage when you have 4 legitimate 3 point threats on the floor at the same time.

Good or bad, he's the only REAL post presence we have on the offensive side of the ball & he's vital to the success of the team going forward.

You want to ban people who have different opinions from you. That makes you the worst poster on this thread, by far

Perry Ellis takes your posts personally.

I'm headed to the game tomorrow.

I haven't been to a KU game since the debut of Josh Selby. Gonna be pretty neat to see them wrap up 12 in a row.
