    @stoptheflop One of the Major flaws which will probably cost us tomorrow but it has reared it's ugly head all year long is- ---the dam long ass scoring droughts with sloppy forced pass & shots-- just pisses the f - - -off. you can take it to the bank we will go through one of these which will cost us dearly against St John's Think we need to make more of an effort to get Flory involved early in the game. I need to see Flory go right at Zuby be aggressive and make Zuby defend early. I think we are starting to fall into the old thing again of just having the ball in Darryn's and everybody else just standing around waiting for Darryn make a play. while the rest of the team stands around and slosh's through sludge

    @RockChalkinTexas-0 I noticed that, too. Cool! As for another former Jayhawk, Christian Braun's $150 mil contract extension--then him losing a number of games to injury, along with his less-than-productive return, and then the Nuggets' meek surrender in the playoffs--is causing some second guessing. Hopefully, a major strengthening in additional rehab in the offseason can get him going.

    @focojayhawk said in 2026 Transfer Portal Chaos/Madness Thread: What are the real odds that this 'play 5 in 5 years' rule goes through and would it potentially affect this upcoming season? Pretty good. Now it’s not clear whether the NCAA will open up another portal window for those guys or not. Then you’ll be limited to the guys like Council who entered just hoping they’d get another year and graduate students who the normal deadlines don’t apply to.

    @kjayhawks2.0 Hey, I didn't name the category! But generally they are, but I wish they'd play deeper into the tourney every once in a while.

    @kjayhawks2.0 said in KU @ Arizona St 8pm CT: we had 21 offensive rebounds and 4 second chance points. Wow! Yep. This defined the game and it's stunning. If you look at this team's record with these remarkably anomalistic, highly improbable and statistically aberrational numbers, you might be tempted to throw a couple of these losses out. They are pretty good if you take away the weirdness. Or is it weirdness? What is the norm? It's just hard to know whether this team can still gel and harden and normalize into its full potential at this point.

    From USA Today. Last updated May 2. Best remaining players in 2026 college basketball transfer portal, latest news F Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State Latest intel: Duke, Kentucky, Florida and Kansas reportedly in the mix; declared for NBA draft but could return to college G Juke Harris, Wake Forest Latest intel: The Detroit Free Press reported Michigan is out of the running, and On3 casted a prediction for Tennessee. North Carolina was also linked. F Allen Graves, Santa Clara Latest intel: Duke and LSU among those in the mix; declared for NBA Draft but leaving door open to college return. He was invited to the Scouting Combine. G Tounde Yessoufou, Baylor Latest intel: Another going through draft process; heavy Kentucky interest. G Paul McNeil, NC State Latest intel: Another with Kentucky interest, North Carolina and Michigan reportedly involved, but a return to NC State not being ruled out. His former coach at NC State, Will Wade, is now at LSU, which could be another suitor. F Jordan Burks, UCF Latest intel: A late addition to the portal, Burks had previous stops at Kentucky and Georgetown. He averaged a career-best 13.3 ppg and 4.8 rpg for the Knights this past season. A 6-9 forward who is a 37% shooter from deep should be a hot commodity. G Hamad Mousa, Cal Poly Latest intel: The 6-8 Qatari guard began his career at Dayton before transferring to Cal Poly prior to last season. There he averaged 20.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg and shot 37.2% from behind the arc. G Tijan Saine Jr., Weber State Latest intel:Per ESPN, Saine is hearing from Washington, Missouri, NC State, Mississippi State, LSU and Texas State. G Vyctorius Miller, Oklahoma State Latest intel: He recently finished a visit to Kansas. G Abdi Bashir Jr., Kansas State Latest intel: Has Zoom calls set up with Kansas and NC State and has already visited St. John's. Five more to keep an eye on: Christian Harmon (Arkansas State), Akai Fleming (Georgia Tech), Cayden Charles (St. Bonaventure), Mihailo Petrovic (Illinois), Dennis Parker (Radford)

    I've watched it. It's well done. I think CBS/Paramount picked these programs to follow based on their likelihood of making a deep run in march. WRT KU, not a whole lot was new for me, but it was interesting to see some behind the scenes. The documentary picked a player from each program to shadow and that was Darren P for KU and Yaxle L for Michigan. I felt there was striking contrast between these two players-- Yaxel allowed a great deal of transparency and access to his family, while Darren seemed guarded and less personable, with no reference to his family. There was also some interesting parallels / differences between Self and May. Worth a watch. Last episode drops April 18. Will feature post-season, which should be a rollicking fun ride for Wolverine fans.

    Is Case is the one doing the portal scouting I hope and pray he leaves. I’ll give him some credit with Tre and Melvin. The problem is we don’t need a shooter, you need a minimum of two IMO. Tre was much improved in that department but really struggled going 2-15 in the post season.

    @wissox83 What I personally find tiresome (this is not necessarily directed just at you) is the fact that this is supposed to be a forum for people to talk about sports (mostly) and talking about sports involves passion and opinions along with facts. I say what I feel, what I observe. I take off the Crimson and Blue glasses and I don't drink the Crimson and Blue kool-aid. Kansas is a program on the decline. That's not my opinion, that's a fact. Kansas men's basketball had not lost 11 games in a season since 1989! The past three years we've lost 11, 13 and 11. We have been bounced from the NCAA Tournament after the first or second games (against generally far inferior opponents) multiple timnes. That's right off the kuathletics.com website. Facts. Not opinions. So people can say I'm naysayer. Say that I'm negative. Say whatever they want to say. Have me banned. Chances are I'm just telling the truth and nobody wants to hear it.

    @stoptheflop On the other hand what else could Ayers say? If he says "yes he headbutted me but in the moment I decided to overlook it". Imagine the firestorm that would have caused. So he was saving face by saying I don't know what you're talking about.

    @Texas-Hawk-10 I know we're picking hairs here, but a shot where the other team has to throw it from almost full court to win is a buzzer beater. And we lose if he misses. It was epic but somehow a quarterfinal shot like Laettners gets venerated as some sort of shot from the gods and Marios gets people saying well because it wasn't this or that it's not "as high up...." Bull biscuits. Horsehockey. Mule Muffins! Marios and Keith Smarts and Lorenzo Charles are the only true epic buzzer beaters in NCAA tournament history.

    Ignorant/Stupid question: Is it not allowed to establish a buyout on a player's contract so if another program wants a player, they not only have to pay the athlete, but also have to pay a buyout to the program? For example, the buyout could be $500k if they leave after 1 year and $1m if after 2 years. Some sort of structure so the program gets some compensation for the investment it puts into the athlete that is simply transported to the other program... Right now, only the player gets compensated.

    @bskeet the only road we got that I want like holy smokes was in 2022. I’d rather been a 9 seed like Iowa than us as a 4 with the games we got.

    The most important thing is winning in March, well and in April. But a season can be enjoyable even without the end of season success. I love watching KU play basketball. I love being other teams super bowl. Frankly we are that to just about every team that plays us. The only team that can talk any smack about us right now in the league is Baylor, and maybe Houston a recent runner up. Arizona hasn't been to an elite 8 since 2015, final 4 since 2001. Yes they could break that embarrassing streak of no FF's this year. We're crying because we haven't been there since 2022? Iowa St? Laughable to hear their pitiful fans talk smack on us. They've not earned the right because, well they've been waiting since 1944 when my 89 year old mom was 8 years old to play in a final four! BYWho? They're a midmajor that's been to 3 elite 8's. Texas Tech at least has a recent proud achievement with their national runner up in 2019. So I'm still darn tooting pleased to be cheering on the crimson and blue. We've still got lots of great stuff going on. Jump back on board Mr Nuleaf!

    @FarmerJayhawk said in Kansas vs St Johns: Man it hurts to see Marko has broken up as he was after the game. Say what you want about his game, but he really, really cares and loves being a Jayhawk. For sure I get on these guys fairly often but there is a difference between pointing out a bad play and hating a player for mistakes on the court. I loved KJ and Juan as people just don’t believe they should’ve ever been starting for the KU basketball team.
