@BShark It wouldn’t be bad with Remy either tbh.
-
Where did Bobby come from ?
-
My man KJ Jr needs to see a little more court time too
-
@RockChalkinTexas Durham NC. Signed with Louisville then asked out.
-
Zach going to stuff the stat sheet

He is from North Carolina. Didn’t go to a prep school either, played at a small HS. Had his people basically beg KU to take a look after the Louisville decommitment.
-
@BShark wow didn’t know that. Awesome.
-
Start Bobby, Remy, Ochai, Wilson, and Zach against North Texas. Just do it, Bill
-
@BShark glad they did
️
-
His tape was PHENOMENAL. Probably a top 30 guy if he went the prep school route I’m not kidding. His lack of a three ball will keep him at KU. Blessed.
-
Ochai stuck at 999 threes.
Teahan Time !
-
Jank gotta drill that
-
Jank!
-
KJ needs to play more
-
Everyone needs to play more. Guess we just need 6 extra games at the end
-
no steal and dunk
-
Bill’s got a lot of good problems. I have no idea how to play everyone the amount they deserve
-
Especially when Jalen gets back
-
Trifecta. KU wins, beats the spread, hits the Over.
-
Don’t worry, somehow someone will get suspended or injured. The depth will disappear.
-
(This is how I rationalize away too much good)
-
only 7 turnovers, awesom
-
Is the North Texas game going to be on ESPN+? Do we know yet?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich ESPN2
-
@BShark Danke
-
MAN, what a challenge. By that I mean what do we do ? - -Mercy do we continue to try even later in the season try to continue to try and get Zach and KJ possible 5-6 minutes a game ? - -We are soooo dang deep? - -so many combinations. - Then there is NO WAY you keep Bobby out of major minutes , have I told you how much I like me some Bobby ? - - -The kid is going to be an absolute stud. , he does not look like a freshman to me anyways.
Zach the kid has got a pretty dam decent looking shot , can stretch the floor for sure. - I’m telling ya these freshmen are pretty dam sweet. - -Pettiford - - Zach - -KJ - -all bring something. Did you catch the follow up attempted slam by KJ ? - Almost got that dang thing , mercy was he up. Braun played much better the 2nd half ,- -you could just keep going so , so, so many options- then of course Och - -WOW
-
CB with only one 3 point attempt (which he made).
-
Then on top of this - - Remy only ONE shot attempt and ZERO points - -that’s not going to happen often & with no Jalen - he comes back next time. - -Sooooo deep
-

Boy farmer you are so right. so many problems - -but GOOD problems, so many options combinations - no idea, are we going to continue to try and get Zach & KJ 5-6 minutes at least a game ? - -Bobby gonna get major minutes , the kid sure doesn’t act like a freshman.
-
Remy didn’t score but he only took 2 shots, had 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and no turnovers. I’m fine with that stat line on this KU team. Scoring isn’t an issue. I mean he could definitely play better but I’m glad he’s not taking 15 shots and forcing it.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Yeah I want Och leading this team in FGA. Jalen is likely to take a fair number of looks when back.
-
Ahh Remy tweaked his back - -big reason for not playing much Coach said
-
Apparently Remy reinjured his back. according to Self’s postgame interview.
-
Coach saying that we won’t be able to continue to have this many players with this many minutes - -minutes will go down
-
Ya, our depth is such that we could probably have two top-25 teams. There are going to be a few unhappy players I would guess when Self has to tighten his rotations.
-
Depth will pay off in that three-games-in-four- days stretch.
-
JWill will be taking 25+ minutes once he is fully back in Bill’s good graces so that alone will cut minutes from others.
-
Bobby though, Bill really really loves him. You know Bill freaking loves a guy when he lets them play through defensive lapses. He’s hard to keep off the court, a spesha talent.
-
I got to watch on a tiny little phone screen. I think I saw our team win, I mean it looked like guys in our unis playing good and the other unis playing good early and then guys in other unis making lots of shots so I think we won.
-
First half: no comment Second half: plenty of comment! I was getting fired up to unleash on Self for leashing Remy — Til I heard the post game news about his back. Still, let the dude shoot. Pls. ZACH FREAKING CLEMENCE!!! So happy he’s gettIng some run. Such a smooth shot. More, pls. Pettiford deserves any PT he gets. I see others thought he played poorly. I was happy with his play. Are we to assume Self simply didn’t want to bring in a big to compete with Dave??? Why? Anyways, great second half. Rock chalk!

Ochai is averaging .78 pts per minute played. Unsustainable but what a crazy good start to his season. He has 79 pts in 101 minutes so far

You know you are playing well when the company is Wilt and Danny.

He’s certainly playing at a level that very few reach in a KU uni so far. It looks legit and sustainable. He should be a 20pt guy the way he’s going. The improvement he’s made with the ball and his confidence/aggressiveness is so much fun to watch.
-
@BeddieKU23 gee, think Och’s decision to come back was a good one? He’s shredding it!
-
Bobby played more minutes than Remy last night.
-
@BShark Remy hurt his back. But so far Bobby>Remy IMO.
-
That is what was reported but I have my doubts.
-
Good game to get freshman minutes. P was really good last night for the most part. His change of direction speed is filthy
-
I’ve been super high on Clemence since we signed him but man he’s exceeded expectations. I know all the talk is about him getting stronger, he will, he’s a baby faced freshman out there. But the skill level on this kid is legit already. He more then held his own last night against smaller players on defense and he has a knack for the ball. Obviously the waters get deeper as the season goes on but just from what we’ve seen it would be Criminal not to play this kid.

Oh I agree just looks fluid and I was commenting last night after the game here Bill gonna have to figure out how can w keep getting Zach/KJ 5 minutes or so in the game we are Soooo deep. - Bill mentioned in his post game , he wasn’t going to be able to run as deep and minutes would be falling off. - Bill could legit I think run deep without a lot of drop off for a least at bit.
I tell you what I really like this group of guys we have and what we got coming in - -Mercy these young guys. You figure we lose Oachi , Dave , Remy , Jalen for sur but dm we have Zach , Bobby , KJ , Juan , Braun , Zuby , Udeh and looks like MJ - -that could be really nast group NEXT YR
