“It’s sad,” Self said. “We were definitely a better team with (Johnson) sitting down next to us and putting somebody else in the game.”

“I should’ve been playing (White) before,” Self added. “He gave us a chance to be in the game.”

self:  hey elijah, i know you're not a point guard but i'm going to play you at  the 1 this season.  don't worry- we know there will be growing pains but i think it's best for you and best for the team if you make the switch from the 2.  we need you, big guy.  here's your chance to step up.

ej:  sure thing coach, whatever you think is best for the team

self:  we were definitely a better team with (Johnson) sitting down next to us and putting somebody else in the game, i should have played his back up instead.

Bill might of added you have been on campus for 3 years and I have failed to find quality pg but this is all your fault.

Also, the thread title made me think this was about a real like bus accident involving Self and Doc

How will Kansas respond?
The Jayhawks are 19-2, but there is definitely a "sky is falling" atmosphere in Lawrence following Saturday's home loss to Oklahoma State. Bill Self shredded his team in the postgame news conference -- "Physically, this is our softest group of all time," he said -- and fans are blasting players (particularly point guard Elijah Johnson) on message boards. KU has what should be an easy game at TCU on Wednesday, but beating Oklahoma in Norman on Saturday will be a tall task for a team that suddenly has a lot of question marks.

PHOG!!! :shakesfist:

BMWJayhawk, I was right about Naadir Tharpe and you were wrong. See, I copy/pasted this convo from last year so you could see:

All I know is that Naadir Tharpe wouldn't start for Manhattan High. He's absolutely terrible. So small and ugly too.

He is better than any of the guards on your roster, and I'm not kidding when I say that. 

He's garbage. I'm dead serious.



You're an idiot who knows nothing about basketball, or sports in general, for that matter.  I'm completely serious. 

Looks like I was right about Naadir in the headlights Tharpe. Kid just isn't ready for big time college basketball. TT has to play 33 minutes on a bum knee because Naadir can't play with Davidson?  Kid is lost out there.

Tharpe has been KU's sixth man this season and is actually having a really solid year.  He's shooting 35% from three and 88% from the free throw line, and had a couple clutch buckets in KU's win over K-State.  You'll be even more wrong when he starts next season.

Martavious Irving is shooting 40% from 3, he's also averaging more rebounds, steals, and less turnovers than Tharpe while averaging almost the same amount of minutes. Irving is also shooting a higher percentage from the field and is considered a good defender while Self considers Tharpe a defensive liability.  In reality their stat lines look very similar with Irving having the slight advantage in most categories.  So congrats on being able to start Martavious Irving Lite next season.

Neither K-State nor KU have had any recent success with a combo guard running the show. Just can't do it in today's game.

Not even sure where to start.  Martavious Irving is a senior.  Tharpe is a sophomore.  The two players are at different stages in their progressions as players.  Withey, Releford, and Johnson all played sparingly early on in their careers, and they're starting right now for a team that's 19-2 and top 5 in the country.  Tharpe was a top 100 4-star prospect who played at one of the best high school programs in the nation (Brewster Academy).  Here's a look at his Rivals profile:

http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansas/basketball/recruiting/player-Naadir-Tharpe-81218;_ylt=AkAiVUgsnZYR1qNpLzpkfPG3sJB4 (http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansas/basketball/recruiting/player-Naadir-Tharpe-81218;_ylt=AkAiVUgsnZYR1qNpLzpkfPG3sJB4)


Top 100 4-star with offers to KU, NC State, Marquette, Iowa State, Oklahoma, UNLV, St. John's, etc., etc. 

For comparison, here's a look at Irving's Rivals profile:

http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansas/basketball/recruiting/player-Martavious-Irving-94171;_ylt=Ai_epc.2FDg7dtZVpN1FoSe3sJB4 (http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansas/basketball/recruiting/player-Martavious-Irving-94171;_ylt=Ai_epc.2FDg7dtZVpN1FoSe3sJB4)

Unranked 3-star with offers to K-State, Creighton, South Florida, Stetson, VCU, etc., etc. 

The truth is that you are talking crap on a player who is making a natural progression through Self's system.  Tharpe is having a solid season and is the first guard off of the bench.  He needs more work on his ball handling and his decision making, but he's got a really nice jumpshot, and he has the ability to make plays with dribble penetration.  It seems like you're one of those people who has a casual interest in college basketball, yet still pretends like they know all about the game.

Top 100 4-star with offers to KU, NC State, Marquette, Iowa State, Oklahoma, UNLV, St. John's, etc., etc. 

For comparison, here's a look at Irving's Rivals profile:

Unranked 3-star with offers to K-State, Creighton, South Florida, Stetson, VCU, etc., etc. 

The truth is that you are talking crap on a player who is making a natural progression through Self's system.  Tharpe is having a solid season and is the first guard off of the bench.  He needs more work on his ball handling and his decision making, but he's got a really nice jumpshot, and he has the ability to make plays with dribble penetration.  It seems like you're one of those people who has a casual interest in college basketball, yet still pretends like they know all about the game.

Sophomore Martavious Irving shot a higher percentage from the field, a much higher percentage from 3, had nearly the same amount of rebounds and steals, and turned the ball over less.  It seems like you're one of those people who watches a lot of college basketball but is too much of a dumbass homer to see when a player on the team you like sucks ballsacks.

BMWJayhawk, I was right about Naadir Tharpe and you were wrong. See, I copy/pasted this convo from last year so you could see:

All I know is that Naadir Tharpe wouldn't start for Manhattan High. He's absolutely terrible. So small and ugly too.

He is better than any of the guards on your roster, and I'm not kidding when I say that. 

He's garbage. I'm dead serious.



You're an idiot who knows nothing about basketball, or sports in general, for that matter.  I'm completely serious. 

Looks like I was right about Naadir in the headlights Tharpe. Kid just isn't ready for big time college basketball. TT has to play 33 minutes on a bum knee because Naadir can't play with Davidson?  Kid is lost out there.


Tharpe has been KU's sixth man this season and is actually having a really solid year.  He's shooting 35% from three and 88% from the free throw line, and had a couple clutch buckets in KU's win over K-State.  You'll be even more wrong when he starts next season.

Martavious Irving is shooting 40% from 3, he's also averaging more rebounds, steals, and less turnovers than Tharpe while averaging almost the same amount of minutes. Irving is also shooting a higher percentage from the field and is considered a good defender while Self considers Tharpe a defensive liability.  In reality their stat lines look very similar with Irving having the slight advantage in most categories.  So congrats on being able to start Martavious Irving Lite next season.


Not even sure where to start.  Martavious Irving is a senior.  Tharpe is a sophomore.  The two players are at different stages in their progressions as players.  Withey, Releford, and Johnson all played sparingly early on in their careers, and they're starting right now for a team that's 19-2 and top 5 in the country.  Tharpe was a top 100 4-star prospect who played at one of the best high school programs in the nation (Brewster Academy).  Here's a look at his Rivals profile:
