I’d have given that an 8 but good job utilizing the Guttermeter.

I don't know, I golf with numerous non KU fans, even a UNC fan and Duke fan, and they all love CB.

He's certainly no Greyson Allen who was universally hated by all non Duke fans. And in general K doesn't help his players perception by those on the outside. The hate carries over imo.

Had CB went to Fizzou he'd be Jason Sutherland 2.0.

Is Braun really that Duke-y, though? Honestly, I just think it surprises some people that a clean-cut white kid is such a dog.

I don't think of Braun as Duke-y. But I am very very much biased.

He's white, so gutter thinks he's Duke-y.

He also can't resist the urge to antagonize KU fans.

CB has a dirty mouth but is not a dirty player. I recall Sutherland being a dirty player, but maybe that's my distaste for him.

I didn't care for Redick that much at the time but he has a bit of Redick yap in him.
Once Redick got to the NBA, I actually liked him well enough.

Yeah, it was the dirty play on top of being a big mouth that separates the two. But I could do without Braun screaming "bitch" all the time. Stick to the f-bomb.

It's probably happening. That's certainly the single outcome I think is the most likely.

i doubt it’s a full year

Braun was probably my least favorite player of all of the regular rotation players. Agbaji, Wilson, McCormack, Harris, Mitch and Remy are all far more likeable for me personally. Maybe I am clouded by the fact that I have heard that Braun is not particularly well liked around campus by some fellow students. Seems to have been one of the few players on the team that students thought was an arrogant asshole.

You realize I wasn't the one who threw that out there, right? I was responding to a post that mentioned it in response to my CB post.

Either pay attention or take the trolling to the correct areas.

unless your head has been inside your arse these last several months, a lengthy ban is absolutely a likely outcome for HCBS. try to keep up.

Of course I don't think he should be suspended at all. BUT, I think anything less than a full year is pretty much toothless.

But toothless also ends the entire mess (for the NCAA).

Sure. But we're not privy to the internal politics (and it certainly appears that somewhere, there is a group of people who are out for blood).

I would like to see him stay another year. I agree that he could lose b!tch some but I really like the fire in him. I don't watch a ton of NBA but I don't see that fire on display as much in the NBA (at least not in the regular season). Think he would enjoy another year of college and then start collecting bigger checks in the NBA/overseas in a few years. I think he could get 4 or 5 in the NBA and then 4 or 5 overseas if he wanted and be set.

i just don’t see Self dipping his toes in that water

could always be wrong tho

agreed, but would that really surprise you?
