RE: Furphy
Deadline is 11:59 tonight. The one we need to be watching in Robinson. If he withdraws from the draft, it sounds like it will be a KU vs Kentucky battle for him.

@FarmerJayhawk Yeah that’s 100% what I said - solid analysis there Farmer.
People hammer Cal for his roster talent and 1 title
Bill’s had the same talent and has 2 with all those 1 seeds ect. Something to dive into there….and yes, it has to do with philosophy and minute distribution
Self has 100% absolutely not been handed the same talent as Cal… That is an insane comment.

@approxinfinity Fair points
D2’s passing angles are minimal because every team has figured out to go under ball screens with him
His ball handling isn’t good; he’s extremely loose with the ball
He’s not a legitimate KU d1 athlete he’s more mo state level
We can agree to disagree but remember all this hype for this roster and watch how it plays out this year….
Yes. Let’s watch.

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
It also sounds like Kugel isn’t 100% out right now. He and KU are doing everything they can to make it happen. I don’t think we would be able to add anyone with his potential if he doesn’t make it. So I assume there is some urgency on KU’s part to get it done.

Id like Hunters minutes to go down as well. We need him fresh for the post season.
Agree 100%. Self confirmed he was playing banged up most of the year this week. That combined with all of his minutes contributed to his regression in shooting. IMO.
Get his minutes down to 27-30 and he will be a much more efficient shooter down the stretch.
We *should have enough depth this year to keep everyone fresh.

Does UConn have a big man?
Reed from Michigan. Their backup from this yr is a stud too
Oh yea. Forgot about that. No one will replace Clingan. They are losing a ton. I’m interested to see how they do this year.

We got Griffen, Storr and Zeke…I’m on cloud 9
Safe to say Bill was not pleased how last year went. Let’s hope all the pieces fit and we get back to KU basketball.

Brea likely to Uconn
He’s a perfect fit for Hurley’s system. He should thrive there.

RE: Welcome Rylan!
@PharmacyHawk He is not visiting Duke now. I think all signs point to UCONN.

Is today the final day for Hunter to declare or what ?
He announced he is coming back.

So do we think Brea is the other kid that could be visiting this weekend with Griffen?
It’s Darius Acuff.
For 2025… I was just assuming it was someone for this upcoming season.

Tyrese Hunter is so overrated. He has regressed every year in college. That is a hard pass for me.
I feel this way too. Are we really improving by bringing in the transfers we have been targeting? Seems like there is a lot of negative information on the ones out there, they’re former teams not really upset about them leaving. Wasn’t Tyrese Hunter basically replaced?
Mayo and Kugel are both great additions. I have not seen anything negative about Mayo, and I think people thought Kugel was going to be a starter. It appears that is not going to be the case, so I don’t see anything wrong with that. He did have some attitude issues last year, but new coaching staff, teammates, and scenery can change that.
Adding Rylan G. will be HUGE. We haven’t had someone like him in few years. Big time addition if it happens.
Texas added a 3 guards / wings in one day and Hunter left. I watched Texas a lot last year, and he does nothing for me.
Alright, I’m with you. I like Mayo a lot, and obviously Griffen would be great. The attitude issues worried me with Kugel, hopefully a new start will fix all that. Saw some things about AJ Storr’s defense being real bad. And obviously the Hunter stuff we agree on.
I just hope whoever we bring in gels well together and we get back to the top with a title run next year. Need better leadership on the court, keeping everyone together and in the game. The team always seemed to fold when they got behind a little bit and before you know it they were down 20+ points and its a blowout.
Two things that I believe are that in the portal era, you just have no clue how a team gel until the ball is tipped. Look at Self’s comments from last Summer. He thought this past years team was loaded, and had a chance to make a run. Unfortunately it did not come to fruition.
Also, leadership is going to be hard to come by. Juan and KJ not being vocal leaders really hurts this team. Leaders are guys that IMO need to be in the program for a few years and understand what KU basketball is. We have those guys, but to me they are not great leaders.

Have the rules changed? It used to be when you hired an agent, you had to stay in the draft.
You can hire a approved agent and still return to school.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
Scott Drew turned Kentucky down and is staying at Baylor.
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
Sounds like Oats, Hurley and Donovan are out. If Drew turns them down, look out!
-
RE: Other bball games
Ummm… he pretty definitely did not do that. He was pretty clear of his intentions to stay at UCONN.
-
RE: Furphy
We still have 3 weeks until the portal closes. My guess who we get is not in the portal yet. I think it also depends on who takes the Kentucky job. If it’s Donovan then the carousel stops, but if it’s Drew then it keeps spinning. If it’s Drew then more and more players will become available.

I would guess this week. I’d assume all the decisions are made though.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
AJ Storr from Wisconsin is officially in the portal. Now that is where we need to be looking.

Made Kugel’s final four.
What hole does he fill, and what does he do well. Just don’t see it.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
I am interested to see what kind of guys we can get considering most of the starting lineup is spoken for.
-
RE: Samford predictions?
74-61 KU. We should really be able to get any shot we want. If we have less than 10 turnovers this could be an easy blowout. Break the press and get easy layups. Half court offense should go completely through Hunter. Could be a 25&15 game for him.
-
RE: No fear, the future is wide open, playing with freedom thread
Hunter and Kevin will both be playing when it counts.
-
RE: No fear, the future is wide open, playing with freedom thread
Was just told no Hunter or Kevin for the B12. Hope they can get healthy for the ncaa.

RE: Recruiting Notes
I don’t think the 6-7 million $$ amount that Trilly floated out there is even in the ballpark. I was told that it was half that just about two weeks ago.

RE: Elmarko
This is disappointing for me. I think he is going to turn out to be a terrific college player.

RE: McCullah Situation
@BShark said in McCullah Situation:
Believe he may actually play against Baylor.
I wish I knew this for sure, because I would take me some KU +5 w/ Kevin.
-
RE: McCullah Situation
@FarmerJayhawk said in McCullah Situation:
If Kev returns to form we can make a deep run. That Maui team is still there.
This is why I have not freaked out about this season. With Kevin this team can make a run to the Final 4 or better. Without him, it doesn’t really matter. I have chosen to stay optimistic that Kevin will return to form.

RE: KU vs Tech chat
@rockchalkjayhawk said in KU vs Tech chat:
He was ejected from the game. And with that he also allows TT to score free points.
Previous games he’s cost us points with technicals.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in KU vs Tech chat:
Man, that was a total embarrassment. We should not lose by nearly 30 pts to anybody, ever, with or without players. At the very least our two dozen deep coaching staff should be able to keep it more competitive.
Self is losing his shit way more frequently this season. That’s also getting embarrassing. Bark all you want at the crap roster you created, not at the refs. Not their fault.
I’m almost wondering if we should be worrying about Self. Sacrilege, I know.
How did Self “lose his shit” ?? Please be specific.
He didn’t lose his shit though. He didn’t even cuss at the officials. Also, the 4 free throws were pointless.

RE: "Never Again" - HCBS
Fran was the one that said it. Having the scholarship reduction, a player on scholarship and red shirting, and the Morris situation have made this years roster what it is. They are still going to be a 2 or 3 seed in the tournament.

It makes no sense to play there, but whatever. There are going to be some pissed off STH that don’t get tickets.

RE: Gary Woodland back on tour!
Great to see him back out there yesterday. Hope he can have a big year. He went through a lot of scary sh*t.
-
RE: KU vs UCF Game Chat
Torvik has a projected spread of KU -3 and KenPom is KU -6. So this game might be closer than we want it to be. Hopefully it is not.
This should be a game where KU comes out, and forces the ball to Hunter to get some easy baskets, and hopefully build a lead.

RE: The Portal is out of control
@dylans No. This was an ongoing issue all year. He had way more than two bad ones against Michigan.

RE: Terrence Shannon arrested
He and Kevin are close friends. Doubt Kevin has anything to do with this.

RE: Guaranteed Rate Bowl News
@Gorilla72 He said today he would announce his decision on Jan 1. I would bet he is coming back.
