Simply put....Perry is a Pussy....He has no toughness, mental or physical.
Afraid Selden isn't far behind.....same MO.
Traylor has some physical skills but is a mental midget....

I sure hope Mason and Graham can carry this team....I don't see the others doing it.

:facepalm:

WTF is the hold up? I'm starting to get worried.

I wasn't able to watch last night so I really had no idea how they looked. But judging by the comments here, it sounded as if they were crap, especially Perry Ellis.

But the article by Matt Tait didn't seem to indicate that.

So was this another game that only Time Warner customers got to watch? I couldn't find it anywhere on Directv.

Only a exhibition, so hard to get riled up one way or another but Svi certainly looked worse than expected. He missed all of his three point attempts (we are always assured by players and coaches that he's a marksman though) and got beat off the dribble horribly more than 2 times and he wasn't even in the game very long. To his credit, almost anybody on the team you talk to say Svi has improved the most.

Selden didn't look great either, but he has been hobbled the last two months from a pretty bad ankle injury so he's just going to be getting into the flow of things.

Bragg looked real nice. His low post moves looked much better than anticipated and seems to have developed some of those since Korea. Also is very long, and should end up being 2nd on the team in blocked shots. Lots of potential with him.

Mickelson also looked pretty good. Ran the floor well. Got himself in position better than I can remember. Blocked some shots.

Graham looked pretty good too. He's a good floor general, sees the floor so well. Don't think his shot was on, or Mason's but they looked fine. Everybody else looked to be expected to me.

I wouldn't say he looked like crap, he had a double-double. I think a lot of hate is that Perry looked like the same 'ol Perry. He seems to look exactly the same as a senior as he did as a sophomore.

The whole team played like crap for most of the first half, especially on D. They also missed a bunch of shots and didn't look smooth on offense.

Bragg looked very good.

I'm feeling less for this exhibition games than ever because of the World University Games; its like we've already seen 10 of these. If/when Cheik back I'll be excited to see him in action, but until then the only new guy in the mix is Svi and we are playing worse teams in games that mean less.

Speaking of Cheick.
 

Self didn't even get to prepare his team for the game yesterday because he was in meetings all day about the Diallo situation.

Post game podcast (he discusses the Diallo meetings from yesterday):

Ft Hays State game tomorrow night, Tuesday at 7pm.

They already lost to K-State in their 1st exhibition game 52-70.

I get the feeling Diallo is going to be one of these second semester types.

I know KU fans don't give a shit about the NBA, but Wiggins is already probably the best NBA player to come out of KU since Kirk Hinrich.

Yeah. He's working fools. I just hope they turn into a decent team or he gets to a decent team.

Sources: Kansas' Cheick Diallo hires attorney for possible NCAA eligibility fight

As he awaits a ruling on his eligibility, Kansas freshman Cheick Diallo has hired an attorney with experience battling the NCAA on student-athlete rights issues, Yahoo Sports has learned.

Attorney Don Jackson was formally hired Monday to join Diallo's legal team, which has become worried the NCAA could delay a ruling this season, sources told Yahoo Sports.


Jackson has represented former McDonald's All-Americans Marvin Stone and Jackie Butler in amateurism investigations, and this year served as a lawyer in Austin Nichols' successful move from Memphis to Virginia amid the NCAA's initial transfer restrictions.
Diallo, a projected high-lottery pick in the 2016 NBA draft, had remained hopeful of a ruling by Tuesday when Kansas plays its final preseason game. Nevertheless, the way the NCAA has pushed the investigation days before the start of regular season has given Diallo's camp serious pause about his status this season. Should the NCAA prolong its investigation beyond Tuesday, Diallo plans to give Jackson clearance to use Kansas' case information and battle for a final decision, sources said.

The NCAA has held an extensive investigation into Diallo. Diallo, 19, was expected to give Kansas another talented player in the frontcourt to compete as one of the best teams in the nation. At 6-foot-9, he has intrigued several NBA teams.

Diallo was named MVP of the McDonald's All-American game in March after posting 18 points and 10 rebounds. He also won co-MVP of the Jordan Classic game with Arizona's Allonzo Trier.

NCAA officials have investigated the legitimacy of Diallo's past schooling and curriculum. Diallo attended middle school in Mali before transferring to Our Savior New American in Centereach, N.Y., as a ninth grader. Our Savior has had graduates accepted into top universities across the country.

The NCAA received 2,000 pages of homework from Diallo's Our Savior high school courses, and has requested middle-school transcripts as far back as sixth grade, multiple sources told Yahoo. In 2014, Mike Nzei was ruled ineligible at Seton Hall after being unable to produce his homework from Our Savior.

Diallo is in his second academic semester at Kansas.

Diallo and Kassoum Yakwe of St. John's attended Our Savior together. Yakwe also is waiting for an eligibility ruling. Along with Diallo's Mali and New York schools, the NCAA has investigated his legal guardian Tidiane Drame, multiple sources told Yahoo. Drame has hosted basketball camps in Mali since 2007, become known among high school and college coaches and started the "Mali Hope" program that has given African basketball players an after-school structure.

Kansas coach Bill Self has called the eligibility process with Diallo "frustrating" but told reporters on Monday that the university will not publicly campaign for a favorable result for him.

Kansas begins the regular season at home against Northern Colorado on Friday and faces Michigan State on Tuesday.

So the guy is accepted into an accredited university, has completed one academic semester already, and the NCAA is worried about homework from the 6th grade? Well, that's not such a logical approach by them. How exactly could he be eligible to take academic classes, yet not be eligible to play basketball while doing so?

@JayBilas: NCAA continues to embarrass itself in Cheick Diallo case: https://t.co/WLru0g8IgK 2,000 pages of HS homework? 6th Grade transcripts? Really?

That's not true. I like the NBA. It's just a little harder to follow given that we don't have a real home team. But I do try to keep up on former Jayhawks.

That dunk was nice. Who was that he dunked on? Milsap?
