heck, beems (KU poster) even brought this up like six months ago

Fitz was saying Foster might split time at the pg/sg position next year.  Called him a "combo guard."  He also said that Jevon Thomas is a partial qualifier and won't be eligible to play until 2nd semester.  That's why I've got Johnson/Foster splitting time in my projected starting rotation.

To be fair, their was some disagreement here on just when JT could start playing. I went with the Bill Walker model of mid-December with the end of the first semester, but others insisted it would be with the start of the second semester in January.

To be fair, the end of the first semester has always been when kids that are ineligible for a semester start playing, so ppl that thought it would be the beginning of the second semester are dumbasses.

I was one of those dumbasses because JT is an unusual case as he his mid year academic instead of the usual mid year transfer type.  I can't recall a similar situation and was just going with the worst case.

my guess is at least 3 losses before JT is playing, could be 4 depending on how the PR tourny breaks.  Weber had some horrible noncon losses once Bill's guys were gone from Illinois and the tuck meltdown when we lose to South Dakota or Troy is one of the few things I am looking forward to this season.

I don't disagree with a number of schools dumbing down their schedules just like football.   

But K-State could play Georgetown, and will play Ole Miss and Gonzoga in the non-conference, and while it is October 2nd, and thus still football season for me and I haven't really looked at that closely.   But on the surface Tulane, UNC-C, George Washington, Long Beach St. and Oral Roberts appear to be decent competition as well.   

Has anyone seen Tom "WuShuck" Light aka Deep Nylon and Spracne in the same room at the same time, and if so, were they actually two people?

I said no such thing!  I just think that in late December, many KSU fans will look at the record and think, "Hey, that's not too shabby!"  If we played your schedule, there would be a few games I would consider potential trap games.  With our schedule, there are at least 3 games I feel we could easily lose.  Our schedule this year is tougher than yours, I don't think that needs to be argued.  Deal with it :don'tcare:

Finally done playing out of position.  Will's career should be judged on the last semester of his last year, rather than the previous 7 semesters because of that damn need to play him out of position.   He is a saint.  One that sacrificed his own development into an elite shooting guard for the betterment of the team that needed him.

To be fair, the end of the first semester has always been when kids that are ineligible for a semester start playing, so ppl that thought it would be the beginning of the second semester are dumbasses.
I was one of those dumbasses because JT is an unusual case as he his mid year academic instead of the usual mid year transfer type.  I can't recall a similar situation and was just going with the worst case.

my guess is at least 3 losses before JT is playing, could be 4 depending on how the PR tourny breaks.  Weber had some horrible noncon losses once Bill's guys were gone from Illinois and the tuck meltdown when we lose to South Dakota or Troy is one of the few things I am looking forward to this season.
:facepalm: oscar is traditionally very good at not dropping games to lesser team in non-con. If you are going to take shot at him, take one that makes sense.

I just think that in late December, many KSU fans will look at the record and think, "Hey, that's not too shabby!" 

Regardless of the record, me and most of the KSU fans I associate with will be saying "lol, we suck" and the others will be saying "we're gonna be great, especially now with Will getting to play shooting guard."

Finally done playing out of position.  Will's career should be judged on the last semester of his last year, rather than the previous 7 semesters because of that damn need to play him out of position.   He is a saint.  One that sacrificed his own development into an elite shooting guard for the betterment of the team that needed him.
Will has a serious problem, he is god awful at catching and shooting. But on the other hand he is very good at shooting off the bounce but lacks the ball handling skills to be effective. He has inadequate skill set for this level, most likely he will look amazing at  playing mid-majors at the point. But we all know he is going to completely fall off. He has been college far too long to suddenly become an elite shooter coming off screens.

Oh man, imagine that, ku basketball fans talking about scheduling.

KU's non-con next year includes Duke, Florida, Georgetown, New Mexico, San Diego State, etc.  If you're trying to imply that KU's non-con schedules have traditionally been poor, that's just simply not true.

But they are. Only last year with the Champions Classic did they finally add some muscle to the schedule. Congrats to Bill for finally getting a decent non-con in his tenth year there.

Pretty sure Will has been role playing this whole time. Happy to back into the shadows and be the step up his teammates need to reach that next level by giving of himself so they can have more.  This year, however, is his to shine and climb.  Aim at the stars because even if you miss, you may hit the moon(Will is the moon).

The only hope would be that Thomas is so good that the committee overlooks any OOC losses because we didn't have him.

That seems unlikely to me.
