@approxinfinity he struggles defending taller posts and struggles keeping guards in front of him. The improvement on his shot was very noticeable this past season but a long ways from me saying he is very good at shooting from inside the arc. To each their own brother

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@rcjhdraft I agree with you assessment, you don’t have to be a great athlete to play D1 but it helps for sure. Niang for ISU had a recorded vertical jump of I believe 18 inches at the combine. @approxinfinity Juans wing span is why he is here. If he has a normal wing span he’s playing at SEMO. Juan has never exploded off the dribble and beat anyone to the rim or dunked that I’ve ever seen (was rejected by the rim once last season). Never seen a play from him that screams athleticism.

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@FarmerJayhawk I’m fine if KJ still starts, I’m beating a dead horse here but a guy that can’t guard, shoot or rebound doesn’t need to be out there for 30 plus minutes a game. An extended Lightfoot type of role playing 15-20 a game max I think will serve us well.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@dylans 7 drops would be a vast improvement from a WR core that lead the league in dropped passes. I think he only had 3 drops this past season, you are going to a few drops here and there unless you are Larry Fitzgerald.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
I’m really liking the first two picks and I think those are definitely gaps that need to be filled. I hope if Jones (OT Texas) or if Booker is still on the board they pick one of them up
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@dylans I think he has better hands than Hill at this moment. I think this helps open up the middle for Rice and Kelce. Baring a huge suspension for Rice.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@bskeet honestly if Bill wins the ship next season and passes Phog (3 games I believe) I could see him riding off into the sunset.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@FarmerJayhawk that’s is probably very true, pass first semester and then screw the pooch the second thinking you are gone anyway.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
I keep hearing Kugel is gone at this point between his grades and guys we have now signed. Interesting that his grades would be that bad but he still played a lot Florida

RE: Portal/transfer , now THIS would P - - - me off if true.
If it works out in our favor I’ll keep watching lol

RE: 2024 Recruiting
Not really a surprise when you think about, he’s likely behind Juan, Mayo and Elmarko in the pecking order. I’m hearing it was mutual between both parties.
-
RE: UFL Football
I was gonna watch today, just forgot. I’ve heard the dome is garbage but never been.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
I guess we can add threads like this as positive for the transfer portal. I remember this site being mostly a ghost town after the ncaa tournament.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@FarmerJayhawk for sure and with regards to young kids that have his potential. I hope if his grades allow him to come to Lawrence or not that he excels. I don’t think it’s healthy to wish negative things upon anyone other than Mizzou going winless in conference again haha.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@FarmerJayhawk it’s just one kids opinion on the matter doesn’t necessarily mean it’s factual. But at the same time not sure why he would have a vendetta against him. Maybe he turned down an autograph lol. I’m probably a little too cautious after the Morris incident, just don’t want high risk guys on the team. Even if it’s the next MJ, we need positive exposure.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Very happy with the Storr get and applaud the staff for it. Not to be a negative Nancy but I’m not getting excited til I see this group play together cohesively. Not only have we seen transfer U not work in the past. Thinking of 2019 with the Lawsons, Moore and Cunliffe (spelled wrong) nightmare.
Last season around this time we all were saying Natty or bust, myself included. I need this staff to prove to me that they can scout talent accurately and see the team play before I get too wild. Parker, Timberlake and Jackson were misses IMO.
I take @kuballin10 side slightly with Juan. No ill will towards the kid but it’s frustrating to watch him get taken to school repeatedly defensively and screw up but have zero accountability for such. Elmarko or Mari makes one bad play and they are right back to riding the pine. I fully support that type of coaching but you can’t do it to a few guys and not the rest. On paper the guys we got coming should push Juan hard for minutes as it is. If he’s not gonna play like he’s capable, he should get pulled. We should easily go at least 8 deep this season. You get burned get on bench son and figure it out.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
Grades might not work out for Kugel to transfer. As the portal turns.
This could be a blessing in disguise IMO. I don’t have a ton of Florida connections. Just a kid that used to detail cars that got a huge inheritance and moved to the area. He was shocked Kugel was even being pursued by Kansas. He said he would bet the guy ends up in prison and locals are very happy he is leaving.
-
RE: Furphy
With him not being able to get the NIL money, can’t really blame the kid. It stinks for both him and us because I firmly believe he’s a top 5 pick next season if he stays. I hope it works out but so many good players end up in the G league and then over seas. I’ve always said this a bout the NBA-They will draft you off of potential, but give you little to no time to develop that potential. The G league has made vast improvements the last few years so hopefully that helps. If he has a good combine, he could sneak into the first round which would be huge. Crazy to think about a kid averaging single digits across the board being a OAD honestly.
-
RE: Arterio Morris
Ben gets the benefit of doubt here, never seen or heard of anything like this from him
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@BShark what is the latest on Hunter? I keep hearing Furphy is gone no matter the pick
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity definitely interesting but I think some of the same folks that rank HS kids rank the portal guys. To be honest they seem to have little accuracy or ability to judge talent.
-
RE: Other bball games
@AsadZ I would think at this point he is reevaluating quite a bit. I definitely get ticked at Self from time to time, as you said and he has openly stated mistakes himself. I get frustrated when people on here act like he’s perfect which no one is in any light. Bright side don’t believe any KU fans are sending death threats like the bluegrass goons. I really think changes to the staff especially conditioning practices are at the top of the list. I heard a couple of months ago Manning was coming back but the talk of it has quieted down. I think Vaughn and Manning need to come back with Vaughn being the coach in waiting probably won’t ever happen.

F*** Arterio Morris, go play basketball in pelican bay where you belong sumbag.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
I still think the infatuation with Tang is mostly false. I get Baylor wanting him if Drew left but total BS IMO if anyone else wanted him. Dudes been a HC for 2 years and won nothing in that time frame.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Me: builds a Time Machine and moves one chair in 2023. Nick Timberlake goes to UConn and Spencer comes to Kansas to win a title.
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@benshawks08 yep like I said crazy money would be only reason
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
Not sure it would be anything but a side ways step for Hurley. The only way I could see him leaving is insane money. Supposedly they are ready to offer Drew 10 million a year.
-
RE: Other bball games
@nuleafjhawk Right that’s my deal we have more first weekend exits than they do missed tournaments. To me when we lose in the first or second round, it really doesn’t feel like we were in the tournament to begin with. To me NCs are worth a lot. Now if they lost last night I would be on the fence and before last season I’d definitely take ours over theirs. Think about it they have more NCs the last 25 years and than KU, Kentucky, Dook and UCLA Combined!! After this season I think you have to start adding them to a blue blood conversation.
-
RE: Other bball games
UConn is feast or Famine by all accounts. The last 25 years they have missed the tournament 9 times but have made 8 final fours and won 6 championships. I guess the question is would you rather have their resume or ours? I’d take theirs all day personally. We have 6 final fours and 2 titles in the same time frame in 9 more chances.
-
RE: Other bball games
Ended up just like I said you keep Edey honest and make him earn his, don’t let anyone else beat you. It’s the same story as usual it takes elite guards and superior coaching every march. Edey is the best Big in the country by a wide margin, UConn’s guards were light years better on both ends than Purdues.
-
RE: Other bball games
Crazy how much better Purdues conditioning is than ours. Edey has sub out for a total of 33 seconds the last two games. Our guys are exhausted after 31 minutes.
-
RE: Other bball games
Edey looks good and already getting calls, I just turned it off. Edey travels often and constantly throws elbows with zero whistles. I honestly don’t care who wins. If Im Uconn, I let Edey work for his but make sure no one else gets anything.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@Texas-Hawk-10 I see figured it had to something like that, their AD announced just over a week ago they were proud to have him back for next season.
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
I’m hearing Cals family was receiving death threats was a big factor in his leaving
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@Texas-Hawk-10 so how does that work? I’m not a legal guy at all but could they sue Arkansas and Cal for breach of contract? Maybe the clause is only under firing?

RE: Anyone know what Coach K did for Uncle Sam in the Army from 1969 to 1972?
@approxinfinity we getting after good and then he message me and we would laugh so hard at everyone thinking we were serious.

RE: UFL Football
@stoptheflop isn’t NFL switching to a similar kick off style? I feel like that phase of the game since they moved it forward is a touchback 95% time. Crazy to imagine games with out Hester and Hall making an impact back in the day

RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
Just announced that Ayoka Lee for KSU was granted a 7th year of eligibility smh that’s ridiculous to me.

RE: Other bball games
My men’s bracket sucked but just won my women’s bracket at the wife’s work place with over 200 entries. 3 of 4 final four right, championship game and champion picked right ranked in the 99.8% on espn. So many less upsets it’s really much easier to pick.

RE: Other bball games
@kuballin10 @FarmerJayhawk Nate Oats is a douche on all fronts
-
RE: Other bball games
I read a nice article unfortunately I don’t have a link for y’all. It was an interview with Hurley asking him how he still gets max out of his players when most transfer when asked to be accountable. He said he is coaching harder and holding guys to much higher standard with their NIL package. Said basically they are getting good money to be playing there and if they don’t go hard they can leave. Really hope Bill gets back to that, I feel he’s been a little soft the last 2 years.

@Crimsonorblue22 Girl and daughter named her Lilo from lilo and stitch Disney movie. It was her 6th birthday gift. She is in the mouthing/chewing stages so it’s fun.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
Very interesting Tang has announced that he is staying at KSU. My Arkansas guy says they want Brad Underwood or Andy Kennedy and never even got legs with Tang.
