Maybe he could play for KU again. How’s that NIL budget looking? lol
Apparently teams are recruiting the G league guys and somehow signing them. Spoiler alert Izzo is not happy about it. -

Looking to see if anyone else has heard anything or not. So was wondering about Tryan Stokes, Last I had heard that was over that Stokes was moving away or we were no longer being considered with so I said well rime to move on then.
Yet now I’m hearing we are not out of it by far according to some. Now like most here I still think he ends up else where but going to the Kentucky Board which I had heard was the likely landing spot rumor/lot of talk now he is not going to end up there and most think he is coming to KU.
Talk is Stokes Mom is NOT a Kentucky fan at all , that in fact she was at the Louisville/ KU for their exhibition game the same night Kentucky was playing, and yes I know he signed a Nike deal so people might say Nike is not going to let him play with an ADIAS School but like people said their is kids that have signed with one shoe but yet have played at another & Kentucky people saying that quite a bit.
General talk is too that even though he grew up in Louisville he is just not into them as much and talk is this is between KU/UK and many just think he not going to UK. Some UK people think that even Mark Pope and Kentucky has secretly moved on and feel like they will be fine. Like I said like people here believe he is Kentucky I too still think he is Kentucky that I reckon until the fat Lady takes center stage nd starts to sing I guess there is always that chance , we shall see.
Self said he wouldn’t be at a 100% so he may come off the bench and play for limited minutes. Self sounded like he may not be back to full strength before the end of the season.
@Kubie It seems like half of Q’s drives are charges. He’s slow. I had hoped he would be just reacting at this point in the season to speed him up some. It’s not the case though and he’s physically slow and thinking too much also.
@jayballer73 I hope they lose two more…the only other loss that wouldn’t be a big upset (besides at AFH) is at TCU. Wade’s health is an X factor. Then we need Tech and ISU to lose one more…assuming we don’t beat Tech. Will be a real log jam at the top no matter what happens.
@KUSTEVE 100% agree, It’s crazy at this point Arizona and Stumpy are even playing right now If they have a recording of him discussing a 100k for Ayton. But until something happens to these Nike schools that have better recruiting than us 9 of 10 years, it will be nothing short of a setup for logical folks. No way Dook signs the 3 best players in this past class and didn’t pay. If KU is paying for guys in the 40s thru the 100s most years then Dook, Arizona and UK’s consistent top 10 classes are BS and paid for.

@jayballer73 - even if NCAA strips it, KU still won. Nobody can change the facts…

I enjoyed the last game thread. Everyone is a known commodity and I dont think the negativity was excessive. Just as this team learns to trust each other in crunch time with a big win, we too should learn to trust this team.
I didnt watch any games, just saw scores. I wonder if they can review just if they are in the restricted area, if not I dont like the idea. A block/charge is always a judgement call, like a ball/strike call. I’m with Bilas, too much time us spent reviewing crap.
@Crimsonorblue22 That’s one thing I already love about Long. He seems to be way more involved with day to day activities and the student athletes in general. Nice for KJ to get some love.
Thought I posted in this thread but I guess it didn’t go through.
First huge down year for Huggy there since 12-13. I expect their program will recover again.
@KUSTEVE
I think you will see the 4 spot recruited heavily in the spring. Still in the mix for Hurt. Also, wouldn’t rule out some 2020 top kids that are kicking the tires around reclassifying.
@kjayhawks I don’t think they’re that much different. They have to update them. I loved the dream on one, from a long time ago. I love the hype ones during the game to get the crowd going. I think we have a very creative video Dept.
