Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Hope our next coach isn't given the Weber treatment
« on: February 01, 2017, 10:10:29 PM »
There's a certain portion of the K-State fan base that we're Weber haters from day one.
It was a small group. But they were vocal. You could hear them as they were frustrated
with Currie for letting Frank go. They were mad because they thought it was a weak hire
and decided from the beginning that they were gonna bash this new coach any chance
they could get. When he talked different.....they ridiculed him. When he paced the sidelines
with a little quirkiness...they ridiculed him. And more and more of those anti oscar or
anti Currie threads made WABASH an ugly place to visit at times. Those posters know
who they are. And the rest of us have had to deal with your negativity from the start.
On paper......oscar was given his chance for 5 years and ultimately didn't produce the results
needed. Most KSU fans that have supported Weber from the beginning, including myself, are
ready for the next coach.
I just hope the next hire won't be playing behind the 8 ball from the get go.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Comments on this Board
« on: January 12, 2017, 10:49:58 AM »
Some of the negative posters on this board are either clueless or are actually (and most likely) Closet Squawks. We just got hosed in not one but two league games and instead of screams of righteous indignation about the officiating these clowns and clownettes use the team's 2X misfortune to resume their attacks on the coach, the players, the team and the university...which are in reality all one and the same. It is almost like they are waiting for something to complain about. Do you jokers think that the players don't read this garbage?? And just how is that going to help anything?? Why don't you try doing something to help this team instead of constantly trying to tear it down. Grow up and/or go back to the Flaw on the Kaw where you belong. This team, players and coach deserve MUCH better. EMAW!

Kansas State Football / Delton
« on: October 07, 2016, 08:29:26 AM »
A friend of mine is close friends with the dad of a walk-on player.
Reportedly Delton has been getting a LOT more reps in practice this week with the 1s.
There is little doubt, if Ertz's struggles on Saturday, Snyder is going to have a quick hook.
Of course I want Jesse to be successful, but if he struggles, I will be very pleased if Delton gets the call. Though Coach would likely go with Hubener.
GO STATE !

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / K-State Hoops Summer Analysis
« on: June 29, 2016, 01:04:29 PM »
Greetings to all,
It is early Tuesday evening. I just got back from basketball media availability where we spoke to all of the newcomers and some returners before watching approximately an hour of practice. This was the third of 10 allotted practices prior to the Wildcat's trip to Italy and Switzerland in August, something that should greatly benefit this team next season. That is also in addition to individual workouts that take place all summer so this team has spent a lot of time on the court already. I have plenty of quotes for future stories soon, but here is a little roster breakdown of what I saw and heard as instant analysis on here first. I'll be glad to answer any additional questions.
1: Dogbite - The 6-foot-3 senior guard is a completely different player than he was at any point last season, and is starting to get back to form. Head coach oscar Weber even said he has been one of the surprises in the summer thus far. That was pretty obvious why. What has changed? He looks better. He feels better. Ervin has dropped approximately 12 pounds and has gone into attack mode. In a fast break drill he made a nice wrap-around pass to Claws for a layup and then took it strong to the rack and finished just moments later. He also knocked down an open 3-pointer off a swing pass in a later drill. He doesn't have the greatest handles, his jumper is still a little janky (although better), and still forces some, but he looks much more mobile, hustles, and is getting after it by applying pressure and making plays. Ervin was not healthy at any point last season and it showed. His play was pretty meh most of the time. It appears he has improved his game, which all starts with him being healthier. Much, much better.
2: Cartier Diarra - Incredibly athletic and built with a very long wingspan for a guard. He's the biggest true guard on the roster, no doubt. The thing I like about Diarra is he's fast. He didn't handle it great either, but he pushed the tempo consistently and made some simple basketball plays along the way. He's still learning, as he hasn't played basketball for more than four years competitively, and will be able to pick his spots for shots over time, but he's a great athlete with a good first step, great bounce that serves as a solid foundation. He's a spark player off the bench that can bring a motor and put pressure on defenses with his ability to get by defenders as he continues to mature. He can play a little bit.
3: Deathbite - Looked pretty good. Came off some screens and dribble handoffs well, knocked down open jumpers, and facilitated pretty nicely. He does look a little rusty in getting back into peak form following the right knee injury suffered at the end of January, but he hasn't seemed to have lost anything from it athletically and still dove on the ground for loose balls. Stokes played some nice defense, too. It's just some little things to clean up. I truly believe this kid is the heartbeat of the team. He just gets it and he needs to continue to work to get better and help the team where they want to go. Solid day, though.
4: D.J. Johnson - Call me crazy, but he has an extra bounce to his step. Johnson looks much more athletic now than he maybe ever has. He's always had a high motor but he looks a lot more comfortable doing things on the court. Last year you could tell there was just a hint of hesitation. I think he knows what he can and cannot do, and it appears he's only getting better. That's a good sign for the Wildcats moving forward. He is rocking a headband these days for those fashion experts out there.
5: The Flush - Not exactly a stellar practice. He didn't knock down any outside shots from what I recall and wasn't overly crisp on anything. Perhaps it was just a bad day or trying too hard or whatever. The good news is he has bulked up and you can see his body beginning to mature a little bit. He's put on some weight, but it's not bad weight. He's a lot more vocal now, too. He's definitely comfortable, which is great, but needs to play better than he did on Tuesday. He's more than capable. It just wasn't the best outing on this day.
10: Bullnuts - Yes, he is eligible. Let's just get that out of the way immediately. I can go into more specific details about the situation when I go back and listen to absolutely everything Weber said about it, but he's good to go. At 6-foot-10, Maurice is just quiet. He doesn't show much emotion, but he's athletic, runs fairly well, and will look to knock down some open jumpers. He is easily one of the players associate head coach Chris Lowery, who coaches the bigs, likes to rip the most. It's pretty funny. Maurice just nods, and goes about his business. He needs to get stronger around the rim on both ends, especially rebounding, but there is some skill to and fluidity to his game. He can help some.
11: Brian Patrick - Arrived a little later than the others to campus, so perhaps a step behind, but getting there. He is a shooter that isn't hesitate to take the open look and more will fall as he gets comfortable with the sets. His shot is natural. He makes a lot of little plays, though. I was a little surprised by that. Active hands, just small things that can change possessions. Doesn't mind challenging shots in the lane either. He does need to bulk up. If he focuses on becoming a sniper, he can be an asset.
12: Gruntley - Great practice player. Hustles, does the right thing, talks on both offense and defense. He goes hard, too, and makes people work. He's still ripped. Having a guy like him on the roster is nice.
13: Festus - Another great practice player. He does a lot of good things on the court in a very quiet manner. Teammates like him a lot. All is just fine here.
15: xWhomper - Out of the boot, wearing basketball sneakers for those who don't know shoe terminology, and is full go in practice. Williams gets up and down the court really pretty well for a big guy his size. He also has long arms and a huge frame that will be good as a rim protector. The best is yet to come for him. I don't think he will be a major, 20-plus minute per game factor, but he can certainly get in, grab some boards, run the court, and play defense in some spot minutes.
20: Xavier Sneed - This kid will play. A lot. He had no problem finishing a nasty alley-oop from Deathbite in transition, nor did he have any issues checking Westicles and even Claws on the defensive end. Sneed is an elite-level defender and a really good athlete with an underrated outside jumper. I've seen him play a few times before and this level should not be too much of a problem to adjust to. Already a solid frame and skill with a toughness factor.
21: James Love - He's not there just yet, but he loves being coached and is trying to figure it out. Defensively I think he is fine. Offensively is where he gets a little lost. And understandably so. That was pretty much the projection of it coming in. He's athletic and does move pretty well, including laterally. It's the little nuances of the game, such as spacing and post, repost kind of things he needs to continue to work on. Wouldn't be surprised at a redshirt at this very moment to balance out the class size.
24: Hunch - A local product that looks pretty decent out on the floor. He even knocked down a corner 3-ball that was pretty nice. Again, K-State has some great walk-on practice players that go hard.
25: Westicles - The senior changed his jump shot. Not kidding. This isn't some minor tweak either. It's almost a full transformation that is still in the works. He gets the ball higher, takes his left hand (off hand) off the ball, doesn't shield his vision, and gets some nice arch and rotation. I wouldn't expect Westicles to knock down everything in sight, but he should be a much improved set shooter. He's been working at it, too, apparently, getting into the gym early in the morning. Looks good, and has grown up a lot since his sophomore year.
32: Claws - The talent has always been here. Wade is a natural. He looks so much more comfortable now, too. While it might not be the flashiest thing in the world, he did a lot of productive things and finished above the rim quite a bit. He's getting better and more confident, and that's great news for the Wildcats. He is making smarter decisions and finding better shots within the offense.
35: Hot Horndogs - Improved. He was confident in knocking down a midrange jumper from the top of the and buried a corner 3-ball. Looks to be in better shape, too. Budke obviously isn't overly athletic but he can be crafty and did some pretty nice things out there.
OVERALL: K-State is a better basketball team right now than this point last year. There is more focus, more leadership, and more dudes going hard. I'm not sure how it all translates based off of two practices I've seen so far, but the attitude is better and they get after it. The coaches were into it. The players were talking and playing a lot harder than I originally thought it was going to be. Everything was very fast paced.
This has a chance to be a pretty good basketball team if all goes to plan and the team stays healthy. Each player is in much better shape as well initially. It was one of the best summer practices I've seen over the years in terms of intensity and guys were making plays. Defensively the team should be really nice, even better than last year. Offensively, some roles need to be defined, but having these practices allow them to work on specific sets and find a flow. All in all, it was a quality practice. Sneed was the most impressive newcomer. It appears the veterans have taken a step in the right direction.
It will be interesting to see where it goes, but more practices like this should help later this summer and next season.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Doug Gottlieb on 810 WHB The Program with Soren Petro
« on: December 08, 2015, 04:35:33 PM »
-In talking to other coaches in the league, everyone is talking about K-State. Starts with them talking about Claws. It's what Weber does. He takes good to very good players like this and excels. He's not good with dealing with players who want to do it their way (Foster at PG), They've been most impressive, based on early predictions, than anyone in the league.
-K-State is good. They are closer to the Top 5 than they are to the bottom 3. K-State is closer to Baylor than to OSU, TT, TCU.
Other misc. DG thoughts:
-Top 1-4: North Carolina (dang that would of been nice), Maryland, KU, Kentucky.....then Michigan State, Duke, OU, Purdue, WVU and a group other of teams just outside that top group of four.
-When Seldon is at his best, KU is best team in nation. But, we are all waiting for consistency from him. Perry can't be that guy to go get a bucket whenever he wants. But, they have a lot of players who can be that guy on any given night.
-Loves cooking breakfast for kiddos.
-Lucas just much more consistent than Dialo right now doing all the little things.
-Dialo stuck in AAU ball. Thinks it's about running up and down the floor blocking shots.
-Like WVU because they know who they are. Don't try to be someone they aren't. They won't win league, but will be a giant pain in the ass for the league. They are in that Top 15-25 range.
Final Four Questions: Who wins Big 12: KU. Who is Ben Simmons (sp?): Unfair question. Do Warriors get to Lakers 33 game win streak? No. Is Travis Ford back next year? I don't think so. They've lost whatever home advantage they used to have. 1,400 at Tulsa game is embarrassing.
(I really do like Petro.....but man, he's got a way of just taking over the show and making it about him, even when he has an excellent guest).
-K-State is good. They are closer to the Top 5 than they are to the bottom 3. K-State is closer to Baylor than to OSU, TT, TCU.
Other misc. DG thoughts:
-Top 1-4: North Carolina (dang that would of been nice), Maryland, KU, Kentucky.....then Michigan State, Duke, OU, Purdue, WVU and a group other of teams just outside that top group of four.
-When Seldon is at his best, KU is best team in nation. But, we are all waiting for consistency from him. Perry can't be that guy to go get a bucket whenever he wants. But, they have a lot of players who can be that guy on any given night.
-Loves cooking breakfast for kiddos.
-Lucas just much more consistent than Dialo right now doing all the little things.

I figured with the press conference here in a couple minutes, we could start documenting all the exbruces that we'll encounter for the new season. It's a new roster (exbruce), so there should be some exciting possibilities!

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / why are ku fans scared?
« on: February 23, 2015, 10:22:34 AM »
no seriously, i'm asking why because i don't get it.
Quote
I'm guessing it'll be -5.5 KU. with the way kstate has been playing KU SHOULD win easily....but I could see kstate playing out of their asses and beating KU. I'm going to say KU 75-59.
Quote
K-State looks like a team that has completely quit on their coach and we're just the kind of team to come in and have them rally for a momentum-changing win. I'd actually feel better about our chances if we were an Oklahoma State coming in for example as neither they nor their fanbase would give a crap.
Quote
The "Octagon of Doom" is worth at least 10....
Quote
This is the game where KSU players, coaches, and fans all hate each other, but they all pull together because they hate KU more.
A huge game for the Big XII standings and I think KSU gives us their best shot.
Quote
I can't wait for them to play out of their ass and way above their level because this is their last chance to somewhat salvage a terrible season. It's so predictable. Their fans will be the loudest they've been and their players the most focused because they are playing Kansas. And then they'll play ISU and roll-over for them. Which I mean I guess it's a good thing to be the flagship that everyone gets up for, but I feel like an underrated aspect of the streak is that we get everyones best shot night in and night out.
Quote
Its KSU Super Bowl. A win by them could prevent KU from the league crown. This is basically their season. Hopefully the boys show up on the road.
Quote
KSU was 1-16 from three Saturday. So, expect about 9-16 against us, the way they get up for our game. KU can't deliver another performance like OSU or WVU. Getting control of the game early will be very important, instead of having to spend the whole game climbing out of an early hole.
Agreed about KSU subsequently rolling over against ISU next Saturday. It will be surprising if that game is within 30.
Quote
I bought the hook and put a note on KSU at 7. The Super Bowl for one team rivalry games usually end up close and we aren't playing well.
I bet against KU a lot and hope to lose the bet. It helps me not totally lose my mind when we lose.
Quote
K-State is going to play their best game of the season and make another DVD afterwards. Book it.BEEMS?!?!
Quote
When KSU has played hard and motivated like OU 9 days ago, they are capable of beating us.
If our guards aren't hitting 3's it will be a long night.
