LOL @ ku and their walkons . . .

[sonofdaxjones]

it seems that one walkon at ku just got busted for DUI, and while that's bad, it happens.   But it's Chase Buford . . . son of Spurs GM R.C. Buford.

Lets look at Chase's stellar High School resume that gets him a walk on spot at a Big 12 School.  

High School: A graduate of Alamo Heights High in San Antonio, Texas, averaged 9.2 points and 2.7 assists in his junior season before missing his senior campaign due to mononucleosis... A three-time letterwinner... Also competed on the school's football team.

Oh well, their just put sugar daddy Compton's kid in there now, he averaged 1.9 points a game at Free State . . . the money will just keep right on flowing no doubt.

Just as a comparison, K-State Walk-on Justin Werner:

High School:  19 points a game, he lead Washburn Rural in nearly every statistical category, and was chosen to a myriad of All State teams, including 1st team All State by the Topeka Capital Journal.

Gotta give ku credit on how blatant they are with this $hit.

Talentless walk-ons are totally killing our program.  Total bullsh1t.  Totally.

Any of you guys see the movie 'Back to School' starring Rodney Dangerfield?  Anyway,  Rod plays this guy Thornton Mellon who is totally loaded because he owns a very successful chain of clothing stores (tall & fat).  He travels to visit his son (Jason, I believe) at his college and has a real kickass time.  So much so that he wants to attend this college.  And Thornton always felt kinda incomplete because he never received a formal education.  And Thornton loves to party.  But there was a problem getting admitted because the semester already started and I don't think he finished high school or some sh1t, so he bought the school a building or something and they let him in.  He and his son go on to learn a lot about life and love, their relationship gets stronger, kurt Vonnegut shows up, Thornton pulls of a killer Triple-Lindy to give the swim team the championship, and everything is awesome.  So, basically, avoiding all of the bullsh1t (like working hard for things and actually being qualified) always works out for the best.  Bill Self loves this movie.  And so should you.

MCMW? Or is that a football thing only 'pad?

I've seen that movie, it's terrible.

I think they used that movie in a couple of Robert Downey Jr's trials to prove he was on coke.

I don't know what your sentence meant, but Robert Downey Jr was in this movie.  (Jason's roommate)

Wait, wait. You're telling me that 'they' made a movie with the explicit and specific goal of proving that Robert Downey Jr. was abusing cocaine?

Wow.

You can almost picture this going on when the Walk-On is late with the weekly "payments":

Rip: [long pause] Julian, this cannot go on forever. You owe me a lot of cash, and I'm carrying you like I'm stupid.
Julian: I know, I know. Just... just please don't cut me off, okay?

[JTKSU]

Kinda running low on plotlines, aren't "they?"

Kansas guard Chase Buford, a junior basketball walk-on, was arrested Saturday in Lawrence, according to media reports.

Police reportedly stopped Buford just before 1 a.m. on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. He then was released on a $500 bond, the reports said.



Another example of the lack of institutional control at that renegade of a program known as uk

Christian Moody was pretty good.

The extreme exception.

CJ Henry's supposed to be pretty good too.

[sonofdaxjones]

Package deal . . . and don't forget, according to you he's still "loaded" so there's another way to filter cash into the program to keep players from jumping to the NBA.

[treysolid]

CJ Henry's supposed to be pretty good too.

CJ Henry is only a walk-on because it was part of his minor league contract that the parent club (Yankees?  I forget) would pay his college tuition if he chose to go back to school.

[BMWJhawk]

What kept Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, and Tyler Hansbrough from jumping to the NBA last year?  What made Joakim Noah, Taurean Green, Corey Brewer, and Al Horford return to Florida, 'Pad?

I realize this, but it doesn't change the fact that CJ Henry is still a walk-on.  And yes, he was drafted by the Yankees (1st round) out of high school.

must suck to not live up to expectations.  wouldn't know myself, ya know, but god - i feel for the kid.

Well, 2 are pretty easy . . . Hansbrough and Noah didn't exactly come off the "hard streets".    But seriously, you don't think either Florida or North Carolina aren't fully capable of adding a little financial incentive to the fringe 1st round guys in order to keep them around to "win a national championship"??   Come on . . . at UNC there's so many big money boosters desperate to have their name associated with that program they'll do anything they're asked to do to "help".  

LOL @ T. Brew . . . every post these days screams anger from that dude . . . I guess he's been so abused on this board he's lashing out now.

Yeah, it must really suck to make $1.6 million + with the Yankees, and then go play college basketball at the University of Kansas.  You just can't help but feel for the guy.




 

[treysolid]

i'd hate to be viewed as a wasted investment and a failure.  money isn't everything, ben.

[Babytears]

I got fired from the Granada when I was a freshman in college.  I laugh about it now.  They did not give me 1.6 million dollars, but I wish they did.  Hrrumph.

Dude has already shown to be a huge bust in baseball, his best sport.  How many first round picks never make it out of single A ball?  You really think he's going to be any good at basketball?

[Babytears]

Does it matter?  Do we need the guy?  ('F*ck no' is the answer to both of these questions)

love the rational...when presented a logical argument jaynie automatically points to programs cheating without a shred of evidence. typical jaynie...bitter....sad. you confuse anger with loving to &@#% with your unwarranted self righteousness  .
