  @FarmerJayhawk LOL - everybody that’s ever played has been paid. I have a friend that was a DE for KU back in the mid 80’s. When Ku was as bad at football as they’ve ever been. (except now, maybe). He said nobody on the team ever paid a dime the whole time they were there. Never paid for clothes, never paid at a restaurant, never paid for anything basically.

  Dodged the dead weight of adding a basketball only school (like KU!) to the Big12. Is the new Pac12 even a step up? https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/41550151/gonzaga-join-pac-12-basketball-school-sources-say

  @stoptheflop said in Need Games To Start: I’m not seeing any news or discussions about KU Basketball even though Late Night is Oct 18 and the Ark scrimmage is Oct 25. Starters: Dickinson, Adams, Storr, Mayo and Harris? Can AJ Storr take over Kevin’s scoring from last year? First off the bench: Clemence, Griffen, McDowell? Thank goodness KU basketball is getting started. Depends who starts between Griffen and Mayo i guess. But main bench options to me are: Passmoore / Moore when healthy / Bidunga / Griffen or Mayo (depends who starts) Deep bench: Clemence (will play when Bidunga makes Self angry with Freshman mistake) / McDowell

  @dylans I think with his past injury issues he was aware he had only a short time to go pro before he wouldn’t be able to attract much interest. Just a guess. Plus, going out with a championship definitely brings attention, especially with his MOP level play that iced the win. Could have killed his chances to come back and look bad.

  @rockchalkjayhawk I already have paramount+ for football and a handful of other shows. But it stinks for folks with cable or satellite to have to pony up more out of pocket.

  @approxinfinity said in Shakeel Moore with a broken foot.: I dont think this is a title roster. Zero defense. I’m gonna upgrade the zero defense to 35% defense. Harris for 20%, KJ for 10% and Hunter gets 5% for blocks. There’s potential to upgrade to 55% defensive ability if Griffen decides to play some. Or, i wonder if Self says screw it and tells Passmore his ticket to the floor is aggressive defense from the start. Griffen as a bench spark. That would bump up the grade as well!

  @BShark love the idea of it. Love the spectacle. Love the fan support. I went once as a freshmen, that was enough for me.

  just heard this from podcast. – We all know about the U Conn situation - -Well I guess the Big twelve actually sent an invitation to San Diego St , and the AD told the Big Twelve NO LMAO. San Diego St just getting Roasted on this Pod Cast. The Hosts saying what the hell you thinking SD State ? Bottom line is thinking is that San Diego St thinking they are better then that , that they wanted to join the Pac 1 - -and it imploded, everyone knew it was going to happen – -now what are they going to do ? People thought U Conn’s football sucked - -mercy San Diego St really sucks, I’m not really sure why we invite them over U Conn. Like the hosts said it had to be for their Basketball but if that’s the case U Conn is MUCH bigger brand if your going off Basketball. Now this isn’t just from some Joe Blow saying this is what happened, the hosts brought up the piece where the SD State AD actually said The article read - SD State AD said that the Big Twelve wanted SD State to come in at a half share San Diego St makes like 3.4 Million Revenue right now, and like the hosts said the Big 12 revenue at the present is at 31. ? Million pe School. - -So even if they came in at a half share that’s an increase of over 12 Million and he said NO LMAO. - -that’s revenue sharing they said that’s like a 300 % increase in revenue then you add in private equalities - -The AD for SD State is JD Wecker. - -Wecker said the Big 12 is wanting us to come in at half share - -we would be sitting at the bottom of the Conference and no way up - - WHY would we do that? – People are pissed at him -SD Alums - -fans etc, not saying I want them in but just saying how funny that is. Like they said say SD comes to Big 12 later and says - hey we are in trouble can you help ? - Big 12 says well lets see we offered you half share then - -you said no with a 12 million dollar increase- -maybe we offer you now a 1/4 share - -It’s not happening now, but I’m really surprised they turned the BIG 12 down and I can’t believe we invited them to join, but these are words coming directly out of Wecker’s mouth - -guys an idiot. Bottom line is like the host said basicall it’s like San Diego St just thought they were to good for the Big Twelve- - -SURPRISE

  A high flyer at the 3 and a freight train at the 4. Sounds like a fun combo.

  @BeddieKU23 said in Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster: @drgnslayr Certainly, some wishful thinking there. This definitely gives us 3 options at the 1 in a pinch if Coit can learn to be trusted with the ball. Hard to imagine finding a better option this late in the game that knew there was no big role waiting or big NIL coming his way in his last year. Fortunate situation for KU. Most of these super late guys it’s because they needed an NCAA waiver and we know how long stuff like that can take.

  @MR11 I’ve been fortunate enough to sit in many seats in AFH. My favorite was 5 rows behind the KU bench (free from 30 yr season ticket holders) and my least favorite up in 13a or 9a. Easily the worst seats and hard to get in and out of.

  I don’t want to see it change but this sport figures to be a shell of itself within the next 5 yrs so it’s going to be a lot of disappointment anyway. Pressure to expand seems evident from schools. Money wise there seems to be little incentive. Lots of decisions keep plowing forward with little regard for what fans want

  @Crimsonorblue22 definitely true and false accusations are huge part of that issue. We all should be up in arms about it for that very reason.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 Saw a tweet about this possibly, hopefully (?) freeing up McNeely from his commit there. Commenter on that tweet mentioned Self didn’t really recruit him after he de-committed from Indiana. So IDK, but someone here knows something!

  Let’s keep our fingers crossed… low injuries… no off-court “fouls”… and a team that gels well and everyone finds their happy role. Then we know we have a real shot and enough depth. I’m getting excited for fall ball and it’s early June! Tomatoes are huge this year with plenty of spring moisture. Yippee! My biggest concern is defense and hungry rabbits!

  @mayjay I haven’t forgotten it because I never knew it! I don’t mind playback games when they’re in Maui or something because we want to see us play again, but I understand it in March too.

  @dylans said in Big-12 going to 20 game league schedule: Does anyone know the 2024-25 bball schedule? I know some games have been announced, but I wasn’t sure if the schedule has been figured out by someone yet or not. Full non-conference schedule usually isn’t announced until sometime in June and the Big 12 schedule in August/September. We know games against Michigan St., Duke, UNC, NC State, Creighton, Missouri, and Furman will happen. That should leave 4 more games to be announced.
