Jeff Mittie just signed three top 100 recruits. Maybe the basketball board should be subject to promotion/relegation?

It's a brand new day and it's time to prepare for a Trump administration. Here is a peek into his cabinet, its full of LOLs including Palin as the Secretary of the Interior. There is some potential good news in here for Kansas moderates though.

Kansas State Football / We played a game last night, correct?

-Mahomes is ridiculous. I heard a guy from Tech speculate that he would declare for the draft after this season and I :lol: jokes on me, he better not come back, he should just quit now. If he's able to play pro style he's going to be a star in the NFL. I don't know what was more impressive, his ridiculously strong and accurate arm or what he did to poor Jordan Willis in the open field on one of his TD runs.

-Looks like they decided to let Sisco run, he looked good. Our offense is predicated upon the quarterback being able to at least be a threat to run. He still holds the ball too long, but it was nice to see him go through progressions.

-That was the best defensive performance of the year, only allowing three second half points from that team is unreal. That offense is the one we are least equipped to stop because they don't run at all and our front 7 is obviously the strength of the team, that being said...

-DJamer Reed and Dante Barnett are almost assured to be first team all conference. Teams are going to either have to stay away from Reed or he's going end the season with about 10 picks. There isn't another quarterback in the conference that can throw into the windows that Mahomes did. The refs took one from Reed, Mahomes accurate passing took about two more.

-Good performance, the only group I thought could have been better were the WRs. I know we thought Tech going into this game was dog crap but they look like a team that's going to finish top half of the conference, they certainly look better than UT, TCU, and OSU.

Shaun King's twitter has inspired me to make this thread, although I am 100% sure that this won't change the minds of anyone who thinks systematic injustice doesn't exist, I want to document the frequency in which these things happen. Feel free to contribute as well because it's probably going to be another week before I open Twitter again.

The real purpose for this is to see how many people will be voting for Hillary since no one is willing to cape up for her. We have ardent Trump supporters, Gary supporters, and Jill supporters. Who is riding for Hil? Anyone?

Also I'd prefer the people picking the sixth option only do so who have voted in one of the last two presidential elections, if you never vote and don't plan on doing so now either, GTFO.

I pretty much categorically disagree with the notion that the WNT should receive equal pay as the MNT. Its complete bullshit that they aren't paid for every game though.

Gonna be a long close night in Iowa. Marco Rubio is kicking ass tonight, good news for Yarddog!

My first caucus was weird and the lady running it screwed it up, no surprise she was a Hillz supporter. She screwed the O'Malley people over not giving them a chance to reach the viability threshold. Anyway Bernie won my precinct and now I am an official voting delegate :billdance:

I can't believe he hasn't called the planned parenthood shooter what he is yet, an extremist christian terrorist. It's too bad he only answers to his daddy, the entire religious right.

The women will play the number one team in the country next Monday and the men will play the number one team on Tuesday, given the men don't blow it.


The K-State women are definitely better than the men in relation to the competition but the women should suffer a much bigger loss given that this UCONN team will be the best women's team ever.

Anyway, GO CATS :ksu:

Leahy, shouldn't have shown this video without prior permission which he likely wouldn't have gotten. This video is very difficult to watch and isn't appropriate in a middle school. The overall message of the video is fantastic and jarring but he needed to find something else to deliver that message.

Coach: South Carolina finally has depth to make NCAA run

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Fourth-year basketball coach Frank Martin believes he has finally reached a key milestone at South Carolina.

''I don't have to play the guys I get mad at anymore,'' he said. ''We've got enough people.''

Martin said he has depth and a group of upperclassmen, including guards Sindarius Thornwell and Duane Notice and forwards Laimonas Chatkevicius and Michael Carrera, who can take ownership of the program and mentor young players like McDonald's All-American P.J. Dozier.

Martin and the Gamecocks are looking to build off last year's 17-16 mark, South Carolina's first winning record since the 2008-09 team went 21-10.

''They're out there teaching the freshmen. They're out there talking. They're out there helping the next guy,'' Martin said. ''They understand what they're doing which then allows me to be more creative''

The Gamecocks could surely use some creativity. The team won just 14 games in each of Martin's first two years, the first two seasons of his career he finished with losing records. South Carolina looked ready to make a splash last season when it entered Southeastern Conference play at 10-3 and fresh off a victory over then-No. 9 Iowa State.

But the Gamecocks lost 11 of their next 14 games and were filled with problems. Thornwell, an SEC all-freshman a year earlier, played on two bad knees and Martin suspended forwards Demetrius Henry and Shamiek Sheppard were suspended for the rest of the season for violating team rules.

The two later transferred.

Still, South Carolina rebounded to win four of its last six games (including two in the SEC tournament) to ensure a winning mark.

Martin said his newcomers, which include 6-foot-9 forwards Eric Cobb and Chris Silva, are the kind who can compete in the rugged SEC.

Thornwell had injections during the offseason to fight off tendinitis in his knees, which he played with all last year. His numbers showed that. A season after averaging 15.6 points and 4.9 rebounds against SEC opponents, Thornwell had just 10.6 points and 4.2 rebounds this past year. Even worse for the Gamecocks, Thornwell has little of the high-flying spring he showed as a freshman.

The other day, though, Thornwell dunked to the delight of himself, his teammates and coaches.

''I told him, 'I hadn't seen that since the third grade,''' Martin joked.

Thornwell, the 6-5 junior, hopes to show more of that this year.

''Physically, I feel good,'' he said. ''I can walk better, run better, cut better, move better. That was first time dunking since freshman year. It felt going being able to touch the rim again.''

Guard Duane Notice, the team's leading scorer last year at 11.7 points a game, went through a midseason drought last year and coincided with South Carolina's SEC struggles. Martin said Notice has worked to make sure he's prepared for a full season.

It helps to have Dozier, the 6-5 son of former South Carolina player Perry Dozier and sister of Asia Dozier, a starter on the Gamecocks' Final Four women's basketball team. The newest Dozier turned down Louisville, Michigan and North Carolina to stay near home in Columbia.

Martin said Dozier has worked at the point guard spot because he thinks and plays that way.

The biggest impact for South Carolina could be along the front line.

Chatkevicius, Carrera and Mindaugas Kacinas have handled much of the work underneath the past three seasons. Martin believes Cobb and Silva will do their share, despite their youth.

''I think we have too many guys now,'' Chatkevicius said. ''I'm not used to that. Glad to see so many faces here.''

The depth gives Martin hope these Gamecocks can get back to the NCAA Tournament, someplace they have not been since 2004.
