@Tallturd1 i do think Kohl will eventually be a reliable shooter. Its really nice to see him find other ways to contribute.

Reports are that Darryn's family want him to be near 100% and so do we.
Yes.. I heard that. I think everyone around him wants him to be safe first.
I keep saying this... few Jayhawk fans really know what we have here. If you've seen him play at full tilt you realize just how off he has been this entire season.
I know he's scored around 17 points or so... but when he's on, he'll cruise to 30 and he'll make it look so easy, regardless of who we are playing. There are only a few players in college today that can impact a game like he can.

OK, so it doesn't bug me the rest of my life, why is @tallturd1 your name?
-
@wissox83 before he answers - I'm guessing he's tall and a turd

@drgnslayr DP will never be at 100% while here at KU or so we will be told, & if he does play it will not be a complete game and we will be told he started cramping again- --then he will be out a few games & Coach will say he is almost there---Rinse & repeat/

@ROCKCHALK2025 in my darkest thoughts I go to that he has never finished a game for us. So maybe heās afraid heās not clutch. I notice he came out vs North Carolina when it became clear their guy was the best player on the court. He didnāt play against UConn which would have been the perfect opportunity to come out and show heās the best.
Thereās a part of me that thinks the perception that he is one of the top 3 players in college basketball is already out there so itās easier to not give any evidence to the contrary rather than attempt to prove heās number 1.
I just know for sure youād have to DRAG Melvin off the court in the last 2 minutes of a close game.
I then also think about how the bal sticks when heās on the court. Will we ever see the ball sing with him out there like it has several times this year as it whips around the court? Is he gonna give up his body like Jamari would for a charge or a loose ball?
At the same time if he plays 15 minutes during that dead stretch vs UConn we win that game. All to say Iām conflicted, Iām disappointed we havenāt see him play to his full potential, and I feel like we arenāt being told the full truth of what is going on. I donāt feel like any of that is owed to us as fans. But it is still sad and frustrating.

@Tallturd1 @approxinfinity Kohl is a first round draft pick in a few years. He reminds me a lot of Christian Braun right now as a youngster. Iām hoping we can keep him, Elmarko, Paul, Samis and Mari. I still see value in having a nucleus of players staying.

Maybe tallturd is actually Hunter D since he was kind of a tall turd?

Geez. Just a boot camp nickname from Gunny McClure.
-
I am tall and a turd.

A boot camp nickname from being the tallest in Platoon 2015 circa 1969. My government service nickname was Kool.

@Tallturd1 Thanks for serving in a difficult time to serve I imagine.

@Tallturd1 Knew it! Lol
