RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Crimsonorblue22 Oddly enough I was sitting a few rows from the floor and Juan completed dominated both the home game and in stilly…….
Juan’s gonna lead us to two national titles and I will be unable to say anything negative ever again about his game…

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark He wasn’t coming here his final year to play backup pg especially when he’s the better pg……
Good clicks though

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity I thought he was more of the 4 spot similar to say a Josh Jackson type when he was here but maybe I’m wrong.
If we get Robinson the 8 man lineup will be top 1-3 in the country. Now gotta see Bill adjust his scheme to the players and capitalize.
D2 - Zeke - Griffen - Storr - KJ - Hunter - Robinson….8th spot can be up for grabs with Kease, Elmarko or maybe a big getting some spot minutes

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity I can’t believe he’d come here to play 10 mpg at the 4 behind kj……

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 I wanna be sarcastic about you caring about offense and noting how it will lead to a better team but don’t care for you to lose ur cool again.
Either way glad you recognized the other side of the ball mattering and made your claim you think we will be better next year. That we agree on
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity I’m being civil….u don’t see me cussing people out and dropping f bombs. Grown men still acting like their are in high school all upset over some message board fodder.
The lies part I’m missing. Assuming we are worse next year defensively than how will the team magically be better?
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 Didn’t know it was a major leap to connect these dots
Defense this year sucked - 6th place big 12 finish and round of 32 exit
Defense you say next year will be worse - my assumption is you assume the team will also be worse. No?
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 that’s exactly what you’ve said and you’ve claimed how awful they will be defensively and zeroed in that uconn won because of their D
I’ve said we’d go further this year and you said it doesn’t matter cause this team because of their defensive won’t make the final 4
That spells out you think this team defensively is worse than last year and we know what took place last year….
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity Depends on who you ask as @Texas-Hawk-10 says we gonna be worse but always positive Kuballin is 100% on board we will win the big 12 and make a final 4 run!

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Kease if he’s given a leash could be Mclemore’ish in his minutes

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in SEC Wooing KU?:
Best thing about this if KU does end up in the SEC, getting to beat the shit out of Missouri again every year in basketball!!!
And football with what Leipold is building!
NCAA playoff this year…book it

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
SEC > big 10
If I had my choice I’m on board
I agree though wish it went back to the good old days with the proper conferences
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark You considering kj a guard cause he’s gonna play 30+ minutes a game at the 4 this year….
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Jhawk69 F - as @Texas-Hawk-10 said…we land a good guard that pulls out of the draft
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@FarmerJayhawk So if he gets in and can play elsewhere how the heck did another school figure that out and we can’t?
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
If he gets into another big major school how on earth is that happening compared to coming to KU….who in the education/transfer dept needs to figure this crap out
Maybe get the UTSA kid
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
The funniest thing to me in Bill’s comments was him gassing everyone up except for when he said “and and and and Jamari McDowell is back”.
So telling!
Honestly wish he’d moved on somewhere he can get real minutes…unless he plans to redshirt and go the releford route

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity said in 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.”
lol I guess we have to wait and see if we just adjust to how Hunter plays the ball screen because what we did this year didn’t work
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Thoughts on Bill saying Hunter needs to just get more athletic defensively next year……???
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@patoh3 Original - keep up the solid contributions
If I commend any other team it’s - go cheer for that team. Oats is a complete loser….but he’s dove into the analytics of the game and trying to run it like a minor league nba preparation team which is smart as that’s all these guys want.
I have some serious connections Bama/Duke wise with past players so if you need any inside info besides paying Vernon money let me know.
That’s why it was comical when Vernon was stringing the Flagg thing along. I texted my buddy who played for coach K and he said, “he’s a silent verbal it’s over and he won’t even end up taking visits”. Few days later and it turned out to be true….
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Bama got Cliff and looks like Sears may be returning………
Bama over unc because how Oats develops guys and his style of offense versus Davis
Gonna be them loaded and get their first title

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 Reading comprehension got it.
Let’s try this:
KJ is a good defender - bad rebounder
Juan is a bad 1 on 1 defender - great team defender always aware of see ball - see man and in position but his athletic traits besides his long arms hinder him
The reason Kj plays is his athleticism which translates on both ends which I believe Bill will pull out of Storr ect
This team will have a final 4 shot. They will not finish 6th in the big 12 and get bounced in the round of 32 cause they can score and use their athleticism to defend.
How you think they will be worse is beyond me……

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@dylans negative ghostrider but good guess….
Bills stubborn he doesn’t change up his core philosophies
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kjayhawks Juan’s dunked on a break before. He’s got some crazy long arms that help and why he can randomly tip a few passes for steals on D. He excels defensively when he’s playing help D. One on one he can’t guard his man real well but every once in a while those pesky long arms get u a steal when we need it most.
All hail d2……(d2 after he wins his second title will stand for his two championships).
If we get Kugel or another guard or Jaxson I’m fully on board we will win it all. Top 3 offense and right around 18-21 defensive efficiency will get it done.
@Texas-Hawk-10 will cringe after all the ish he’s talked about these guys defensively being awful but then hedges his bets that even though this years team will suck more than last year they will magically go further in the tourney and potentially win the big 12 but still in his mind somehow be worse.
-
RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@drgnslayr You know who wouldn’t be too arrogant to play zone if it means a title……?
We will never shoot as many free throws as our opponents because d2 isn’t a downhill straight line driver of the ball. He’s a ball swinger/rotator he doesn’t attack. 4 years of what he’s been that won’t change.
This team will D up better because it has athletes the question is if Bill plays them.
He will play Juan and Hunter two poor defenders and if Clemence the clod hopper gets more run than Flory we will have major issues guarding ball screens again.
Either way offensively we will be extremely difficult to stop which will help us on the defensive side where we don’t have to be perfect but after a few missed shots we can go on a 12-1 run quickly.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
I’ll list the ncaa winner, offensive ranking then defensive all from kenpom starting in 2015……offense wins titles. If you can score efficiently and rebound it puts that much more pressure on the other team to hit shots and keep up.
Duke - 3 - 11
Nova - 3 - 5
Unc - 9 -11
Nova - 1 - 11
UVA - 2 - 5
Baylor - 2 - 22
KU - 6 - 17
Uconn - 3 - 7
Uconn - 1 - 4

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Man that’s tough as Veach hasn’t gotten a wr right besides Rice being his first (whiffs on plenty).
I lean toward Worthy and think he will actually be a stud. As you said way different than converted db mecole.
Yeah Hill forced veach’s hand and you don’t bat 1000.0 in the draft so I get it.
Overall gotta trust the staff as they’ve done great these past 3-4 drafts and I think Veach has grown a ton in player scouting. He’s drafting smart athletes
I actually think Hill will be our next Tony G. Dude is big, runs/moves like Kelce and being a former qb is smart when it comes to diagnosing coverages. He won’t be Kelce as hardly anyone can be I think he will be a stud.
Overall this draft class should be an impact from day 1
Three peat time baby!
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@dylans I can’t find where he said that can you? It’s the smart thing any coach or player knows as it’s easier to teach defense than take a guy who can’t score and magically making him a scorer.
This doesn’t coincide with who Self recruits as we typically lack shooters and “labor” to score but muddy it up and play defense. That’s been Kansas for years….
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
It will be curious to see how: Worthy, Mcconkey. Leggette and Coleman….who turns out the best.
Similar to when we took mecole and dk metcalf was available or when we got skyy moore and Pickens was right there
Hopefully we got more of a desean Jackson type in worthy
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 You don’t think a hof coach can reach defense? His inside out scheme is off but he can coach guys to defend easier than making a Juan into Frank mason

Click on adjusted O for the champs the last 10 years
Then do adjusted D and get back to me on what wins

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Crimsonorblue22 Don’t disagree with this but just because Josh got 3 fouls we didn’t have some other good player that could fill the void while 4 other guys from what a 33-5 team couldn’t manage to keep it within 12???
Guys could have stepped up but when u got LL get abused down low and then you lose Josh with 3 fouls (he still played 30 minutes….) that’s what u get
Model of consistency yet struggle and labor to score in the tourney. Can defend all you want but guys at the d1 level knock down shots with hands in their face all the time?
Reminder……Google my second half highlights from the natty in 2022….bucket after bucket with “good defense” being played. Hand in my face what else can u do besides foul me?
@Texas-Hawk-10 still thinks D win’s titles. He’s an Eddie Sutton disciple as well
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Jhawk69 That is literally proven true though I have no clue how in your mind you’ve disproved it. We have great records and fall flat in the tourney due to offense and everyone knows Self’s “stuff” he’s gonna run. Easy to scout and he has tendency’s that he’s blatant about.
We play inside out
We guard inside out
Loss to vcu……12/25 from three and we were 2/21
Loss to wsu with traylor playing 17 minutes….10/20 from three and us 6/21. If you remember we played two bigs a ton
Loss to Oregon……11/25 and us 5/25……
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Jhawk69 No, his scheme is throw it inside and let a big go 1 on 1 because of proximity to the hoop and “higher percentage shot”.
It’s the same reason on the Elite 8 Oregon loss team that on Landen Lucas’ podcast he mentioned that even though LL was like the 5th scoring option they’d throw it into him to start the game or when they needed to try and get a bucket. That unfortunately doesn’t work when the guy guarding LL is twice as athletic.
Bill is incredible at scheming up blob plays (literally 1 of 1 here). He is a hof that is of no doubt and the epitome of consistency. He’s a high floor low ceiling coach much like his teams churn out big 12 titles but only 2 ncaa titles.
Bill would rather muddy up a game versus getting out and scoring. It’s why we are the comeback kings because we get down and come roaring back cause we have no choice but to get out and fastbreak.
It’s his philosophy on the game that needs a tweak. Not a complete overhaul dudes a stud clearly and his philosophy has worked just fine but if he looks in the mirror and analyzes what he needs to adjust he’d take us to the #nextlevel
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@rockchalkjayhawk I think if Bill can loosen the reins on trusting newbies (even if they are jr/sr transfers) then he will be successful.
The portal has allowed him to screw Nike by getting top transfers that aren’t straight out of high school.
He’s got 5-10 years left he needs to get 3-4 more titles so we pass UConn and/or tie with uk as they become the next Indiana or ucla

Dang farmer not high on him huh……didn’t see that one honestly
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Jhawk69 I’ll dumb it down for you
The wich st loss, the vcu loss and most of Selfs……check what we shot from deep and what the other team shot from deep
It’s a Self dream to go 2/25 from deep and win and I have no clue why he desires that ugly form of basketball as if it elevates his offensive genius.
Why not have legit shooters who run an offensive machine and knock down open shots you scheme up?

RE: Early Hearings TM
@BShark Zeke is a mature dude on and off the court. He should push for pg1……
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@dylans Wait why’s it locked down? I thought Bill plays the best players right? No way he’d play a lesser player he’s hof
Edit: yes, I’m being an arse because of earlier in this thread
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@HoraceZontal They produced 13 and 20 points but weren’t efficient and let Skeen go off.
Vcu went 12/25 from 3 while we went 2/21……
We never adjusted to Skeen knocking down 3’s or guarding from deep per Self which is usual. Was talking to another coach about how it seems every team always has a career day from deep against us and we both agreed it’s easy to see why due to philosophy

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@focojayhawk Only reason goat isn’t tied with Scott Drew is because he sat his precious pet nutted up and played a real pg…….
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 Nah it’s moreso for all the people acting like he’s the goat. He will yet again have the best roster this year and we won’t capitalize in March with a third title. Other coaches maximize top rosters but he seems to struggle with getting them to gel and be ready come tourney time.
If he’s considered the goat coach and in this era then yeah winning only two titles his entire career won’t differentiate him from your boy Hurley
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@jayballer67 Everyone knows Cal’s a horrible coach and Bill is a good coach. Doesn’t mean Bill hasn’t underachieved with the rosters he’s had.
When Hurley can match u in two years or Scott Drew of all dudes is 1 title away from tying u that isn’t saying much
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Texas-Hawk-10 It’s difficult in a one a done tourney but Self needs to get more in that 4-5 range
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark That year no doubt Self didn’t have AD but trob and Tyshawn ect were legit.
What I’m saying is he has a top 1-3 roster every single year and we are constantly ranked number 1/2/3 all these years and he’s got 2 titles to show for it. Anyone not think through that?

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@FarmerJayhawk He’s not coming here to come off the bench……
