Brady Morningstar...to Sleeve or not to Sleeve

In Kansas' matchup with the Cal Bears, Brady Morningstar put together a solid effort on the night with 7 points, 7 assists and 0 sleeves. Personally I kept finding myself confused and wondering who this pale #12 running around in a Kansas uniform was.
(Cue Sarcasm Font)Now clearly all Kansas players regularly read RCT to get fashion advice and suggestions on how to improve their game.
With that in mind we need to let Brady know what the public thinks about the sleeveless look. At first it seemed sleeves were overwhelmingly the preference but as the OGT wore on we had a few jump into the sleeveless camp and support the Brady Morningstar "Gun Show."
On this Eve to Christmas Eve as we prepare to celebrate the holiday with family and friends the most important question appears to be, to Sleeve or not to Sleeve.
The Debate rages on after the jump....
Coach Self: Brady, see that guy...he doesn't wear sleeves...maybe you shouldn't either.
Brady: Ah geez coach, I don't know...seems like a risky move. Are spray tans part of the recent facility upgrades?
Coach Self: God dammit Brady, do as I say I'm FHOFNCHCBS, I know what the hell I'm talking about.
Brady: OK Coach, you're the boss...should I warn the others?
Coach Self: Warn the others? Nah, just get out there and play ball.
Sherron: OH MY GOD, NO YOU DIDN'T BRADY...WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUR SLEEVES!!!
Brady: Coach said it was a good idea.
Sherron: You need to run everything through me first, you know this is my team. I can't have your dumb sleeveless ass messing up my swan song season. This is my legacy
Brady: Coach says it could make me better.
Sherron: Well if you play bad, I'm going to give you a swirly in the locker room after the game. The least you could do is tat yourself up like the Morri so the reflection off your arms doesn't throw off my shot.
Brady: Sorry Sherron, I won't let you down.
Cole: ROAR!!! COLE NOT LIKE SLEEVELESS BRADY...COLE ANGRY!!!
Tyshawn: Can't believe that dude isn't wearing sleeves.
Bench Player #1: That kid looks goofy, can you believe coach made him get rid of his undershirt.
Bench Player #2: Oh my god...HE'S GONNA SHOOT IT!!
Tyshawn: Brady you better make this or the sleeveless look is over, and don't even think about wearing this sock sleeve thing like me....HOLY SH!T, he made it...still looks stupid, but maybe we should trust Coach on this.
Xavier: Damn guys, Tyshawn said it...maybe coach was right...the sleeveless look is working for this kid.
Bob Knight: Personally I never liked sleeves, Derek Jeter would never wear sleeves.
Musburger: Where am I, what day is it?
Brady: Coach was right, my game is back and everyone in the country is getting to see this gun show...I'm on fire.
Coach Self: What did I tell ya Brady, all I have to say is I told you so.
Sherron: Coach, Coach...I'm thinkin about going with the pulled up socks like J Wright used to do, you think it'll work like the sleeveless thing for Brady?
Coach Self: Sherron, I don't think so...besides, do they make socks that will fit over those bowling balls you call calves.

Awesome
No sleeves. I don’t care that he has almost no biceps to speak of, or that his skin glow. A baggy shirt under a jersey just looks bad, and really isn’t all that comfortable. I’m glad he finally got rid of the shirt. Now go hit the weight room, Brady.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Hey it is a tough decision to ditch the sleeves.
I remember hearing PJ Pugh say that he went with an undershirt when he was freshman because he thought he was scawny next to the other muscular big men. Then he was so used to playing in them that he couldn’t change. Morningstar, we’ll see. He looks less like a walk-on with out them.
you bring up a good point...
when he was spending a redshirt year on the bench…maybe he wore the sleeves to keep warm. Now after playing with them last year he feels it’s time to move to the big time.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I think I am the only Jayhawk
who didn’t like Pugh. I think I’m just leery of people who’s eyes are too close together…

which brings about another important question...
which is worse…eyes to close, or eyes to far apart.

Well,
typically eyes to far apart usually is an indicator of something else like trisomy 21 or FAS. So no…

He creeped me out
when he gained about 50 lbs between his freshman and sophomore year and then immediately lost any shooting ability and quickness. It seemed an obvious case of roiding up over the off season, and the weight did nothing to help his game. He was a senior before he lost enough weight to get his body back in balance. Can’t say I ever noticed his eyes much.

Didn't Alonzo Jamison
wear sleeves?
I sorta like the sleeves, but he’s gotta wear a medium not an XL.

By the way Labba,
love the new picture you’re using. Shows you have the true spirit of the holidays.

It goes against my

Denver -
thank you for successfully burning another 5 minutes off of my slowest day EVER at work…

I voted for sleeves because the kid has no biceps but....
I’d be ok with NO sleeves if he agrees to not wear any deodorant during the games. Just one more nasty thing whoever Brady is guarding will have to deal with……
There simply is no substitute for experience.
Great point Rivet.
The new look has immense defensive potential from the BO possibilities.

Great stuff Denver.
I think he looks better with sleeves, but a few more games like last night and he’ll be forced to lose the shirt forever. He and T2 really made us look like the #1 team.

Denver
You really think Coach Self would say “God dammit” this close to Christmas?
I heard he asked Santa for another NC ring for Christmas.
There simply is no substitute for experience.
of course he would…it’s not like he’s Roy Williams or something

Brady without sleeves is like KISS without makeup, its just not right. Throughout the game last night I kept mistaking brady for tyrel. At least one of those pale white guys needs to be wearing sleeves for the sake of the fans.

welcome to the site...
glad to have ya.

One of the kid needs ink done.
That’s all there is to it.
Ink.
But not something overdone like barbed wire, naked chicks, dragons, basketballs, guns, or skulls.
Something cool.
Like maybe Coach Self’s face. Or Allen Fieldhouse. Or Coach Self standing next to the statue of Phog Allen in front of Allen Fieldhouse.
OR:
KANSAS JAYHAWKS 2010 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS (in the official Trajan font, of course).
That last one would take ballz to do now.
There simply is no substitute for experience.
ummm
what’s uncool about barbed wire, naked chicks, dragons, basketballs, guns, or skulls?
Doze are hella cool. Especially dragons.

Ah crap!
I just saw the Trajan font bit!!!
You really do hate me don’t you Rivet…

Might I just say...
…that this post encapsulates why I love RCT?
That is all.
P.S. I didn’t really get to see the game so I have nothing to base an opinion on as far as the sleeveless look goes, though I always did think he looked frumpy with that shirt under his jersey.
This is worst than the time I took off my top and got killed by Greg Kinnear.
I cannot believe
that half of the votes so far are for NO sleeves. I was SURE it would be close to 100% for sleeves. I am shocked.
Operation 40-0 is a go. Proceed to target.
Amen.
Maybe if he hadn’t played so well last night the results would be different.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Everyone's a hater.

Not enough options
What about cutting the sleeves off the t-shirt? What about wife beaters? What about Under Armor? What about long sleeves like that dude on Oklahoma? What about one of those tight undershirts like they wear at Syracuse? What about a nice mock turtleneck?
I refuse to be confined by these limited fashion options!
"Here are our top priorities: recruit, beat Missouri, recruit, win the North, recruit, win the Big 12, and in most cases if you win the Big 12 then you're playing for a National Championship. And then we're going to recruit."

I voted no sleeves
On the condition he goes Morri/Sherron and just inks the hell out of his arms, or grows Dirk Nowitzki length hair. One of the two.
I didn’t like the shirt because it was too baggy, a tighter fitting shirt may be cool.
This guy got a DUI,was suspended,etc. Maybe ditching the shirt is him ditching the past demons. Reminds me of how when I graduated college I had to start cutting my hair short after years of bushy gloriousness. Sigh…
