@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.

If hunter comes back the proven d1 scoring on this roster is ridiculous

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kuballin10 I’m ready to hear you make excuses about why Bill won his third ring.

RE: Portal/transfer , now THIS would P - - - me off if true.
The amount of minutes we may have returning is frankly shocking given the mood immediately after the season.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@HoraceZontal no i mean the army we wish we had last year, and the army we WILL have this year. I’m stupid optimistic.

I am ready for the Dajuan Harris takes no prisoners final campaign leading the army we wish we had.

Are there tampering rules around this? Once we destroy the NCAA who is going to do anything about it?

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@rockchalkjayhawk hasnt college sports progressively gotten worse for the fan? Doesnt that mean whenever now is, this is as good as it gets?

RE: 2025 Recruiting
@kuballin10 if we pull acuff and griffen are you prepared to say the staff took care of business this cycle and not second guess that whenever we lose games?

RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@jayballer67 Duke losing everyone to portal and “NIL ruining college basketball”. Nahhh sounds pretty good to me!

Philon looking?

RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@jayballer67 that is a fantastic point. If other high talent players want to play with Juan, that should certainly be considered by people who want high talent players on our team.
-
RE: Recruiting Notes
@BShark yeah that sucks. Id be more excited about Philon than Elmarko, but as i think @Texas-Hawk-10 said well, off season from year 1 to 2 usually sees substantial growth, and we have a title to win next year.

RE: Recruiting Notes
@BShark do Philon issues have to do with Acuff? Is Philon looking gone?

RE: Transfer Rumblings
I mean we didnt suck at d by the metrics this year but we still sucked. So… progress?
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
We cant have 10 guys on the court at once, and we know Bill doesnt like deep rotations. So if these look like the projected starters i think…. We are just going to be terrible at defense.
Can Griffen d?
-
RE: Furphy
@dylans yeah i expect something along those lines is already where we are shifting. Which is why I am incredibly excited about our ability to get top shelf talent going forward. I think Bill Selfs finishing school will be in high demand for NBA teams.
-
RE: Furphy
@Jayblaze I think we have moved in the opposite direction with NBA folding the G League ignite team this year. NIL is where its at, for now.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@TYOHawk you remember Dajuan the pass first PG? Maybe he will be a blessing in that equation?

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kuballin10 why spare Hunter in that assessment, clearly he has his own critical flaws: matador D, injury prone, lack of athleticism?
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
Sure, ok. Im losing track. How many more are we expecting out and in? And are our likely targets All guys that shoot the 3?
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
Is losing out on Mcneeley and hyping Zach a bad trade? Do we have enough 3 pt shooting?

RE: Generic soccer thread
First day of head coaching my 5 year old in soccer. It was everything i hoped it would be. Have another guy coaching with me whose son is also in travel soccer with my older boy. 2 solid coaches for 7 kids is a great ratio!

RE: Arterio Morris

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kjayhawks it’s intriguing to look at the rankings in retrospect. Timberlake 30, Spencer 114
