Well it feels good to have everyone’s consensus that the talent next year is something to look forward to.

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
Sorry was meant to be a joke, i often feel out of sync with the capitalist end-game we are living in.
I plan to do the crowd source thing but keep putting it off

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
Im looking forward to being a top dog in football in B12 w Oklahoma and Texas gone. Too bad that might be shortlived

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
@Crimsonorblue22 haha i may do the gofundme thing again at some point if i feel inspired

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
Why do we need to get out of the Big 12?
Sorry, as a guy who runs a msg board that generates zero revenue because i enjoy your company, im just not understanding… This is so we might smite our enemies and win every year?

@Kcmatt7 said in Lance is COOKING:
@Crimsonorblue22 a year and a half now. In the throes of toddler tantrums
My youngest is 5, and has just recently become sufferable. Good luck.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
glad Jamari is on the team, he has been a good teammate, making the most of his minutes, and you need guys like that

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Lol @kuballin10 . Translation: “we got him locked in. I can say what i want. He cannot change his athleticism significantly, we all know that. Im not a blind idiot. I know we have more athletic options this year and i will use them as i see fit.”

RE: Big-12 going to 20 game league schedule
@Crimsonorblue22 I’d be happy with that.

RE: Big-12 going to 20 game league schedule
Who are we playing twice? Does it change every year?

RE: Furphy
@Texas-Hawk-10 you make sound arguments. For many kids the g league route is probably a strong option.
-
RE: Furphy
I can think of several others: public exposure, confidence, peers of the same age, other NIL, etc
-
RE: Furphy
@Texas-Hawk-10 agreed thats what g-league is for, but it seems that NIL has shifted the balance, with g league ignite going away. Would seem that a high profile college program with a difficult schedule offers several advantages that may work better for some, including not getting your ass kicked by grown ass men with a chip before your body fills out

RE: Furphy
Again, I will suggest that the NBA should be allowed to draft and stash players in college. Let the Spurs draft him and pay him guaranteed money/NIL to keep playing for Bill.
-
RE: You know it's a big day
I would be surprised if Furphy wasnt a first rounder. Also would be surprised if it was top half of first.

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
Actually i think rodmans was 7’3 and kj’s is about 6’9

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@drgnslayr i’ll bet dennis rodmans wingspan was a foot larger

RE: Are some people EVER happy ? Remember when .
@nuleafjhawk want to discover your love of soccer and watch USMNT and Chelsea with me?

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Looks like 9 have 2, including Self, making him a top 15 all-time coach already, by that metric. (I know you know, but I’ll answer in order to move this conversation forward, because I don’t think the socratic method works for everyone )
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 K, Wooden, Rupp, Roy, Knight, Calhoun. 6.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
And… Cal’s one championship was beating Bill by 6 points with a loaded roster and KU coming back. We just ran out of time that game. Guess Cal got a lucky draw to face Kansas!

RE: You know it's a big day
Heres maybe a more relevant comparison @Texas-Hawk-10 : Kevin Mccullar. Will we remember Mccullar more significantly than Furphy? Two underwhelming seasons for the team, and shutting it down his last season early. Fair or not, I dont think there is much difference between their impacts on the program.
Maybe you can argue that Mccullar was more capable of being top dawg than Furphy at this stage, and that’s fair. But Furphy was still standing when Mccullar was lost, and in my opinion, his game was more enjoyable to watch, all youth and upside.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Jhawk69 that guy Bill Self is LUCKY to win 800 games!

RE: You know it's a big day
@Texas-Hawk-10 I dont think it’s dumb. It’s just incongruous, and hard to come up with anything absolute. But I’m not trying to do that. I’m not trying to say “Furphy is BETTER than Wiggins”. I’m specifically saying that in the annals of Jayhawk history, I don’t think Wiggins and Embiid would have occupied a much larger space than Furphy had they not gone on to be NBA stars.
-
RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@Texas-Hawk-10 our best defensive lineup would be… dajuan, elmarko/jamari, rylen, kj, flory? Might we preserve a lead with that?
-
RE: You know it's a big day
I think he marginally increased viewership for the season and recruiting for this offseason which has a cascading effect. Not profound, but net plus.
I do think 2013 still makes tourney with Furphy instead of Wiggins.
-
RE: You know it's a big day
@dylans that 2013 roster imo was much better https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/kansas/men/2014.html
-
RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@kjayhawks alright, thats fair. I think our assessment of his defense was higher going into the season than at season’s end. Hopefully he won’t be asked to guard behemoths, and hopefully we won’t have to switch everything next year?
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Alright. I think he will look more athletic next year, playing less minutes, and hopefully more intense defense, with teammates who can finish.
But i take your points. He is not an explosive finisher or a high flyer and he isn’t particularly fast on the break.
His hands are fast.
-
RE: You know it's a big day
@dylans embiid and wiggins carried the team to a second round exit against Stanford? I mean just Wiggins, because Embiid didnt play in the tournament, right?
Is that carrying the team?
Did Furphy not win games for us?
I fail to see a real difference tbh.
-
RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@kjayhawks said in Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster:
a guy that can’t guard, shoot or rebound doesn’t need to be out there for 30 plus minutes a game.
He cant shoot the 3 or rebound.
He can guard 1-5 and shoots inside the arc very well.
Just keeping it real.
-
RE: You know it's a big day
@dylans the team sucked and furphy was a bright spot. Your criticism could be said about wiggins and embiid as well, had they not gone on to nba success. Maybe his success contributed in part to the guys we pulled this offseason, as he is proof that a player can come in and in one season improve their stock dramatically.
I’m glad we had Furphy and he made the season much more watchable for me.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@rcjhdraft @kuballin10 ”athletic” has always seemed to me a deceptively subjective assessment. Juan has long arms and uses them to maximize defensive disruption and in achieving great passing angles and handling the rock well. Isnt that a form of athleticism? Also, isnt the brain an organ, ie part of the body? How does one separate the brain from what their body achieves with it?
My biggest problem with Juan is the lapses that hopefully were a product of fatigue. I dont think we will be complaining nearly as much next year about sloppy possessions on either end from him if his minutes are under 30.

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
Id like Hunters minutes to go down as well. We need him fresh for the post season.

RE: Welcome Rylan!
If hunter comes back the proven d1 scoring on this roster is ridiculous
