@Jethro I’m here to crush dreams and chew bubblegum and well you know the rest.

Jalen is having a 5pm Twitter Spaces today. Announcement? @BShark
-
Has CB officially put his name in to the draft? 3 days left.

Probably worth tuning into.
-
@BShark do we have to do anything special to get it? Just click on it?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah just click the spaces link when it goes live
-
Missed it. What did Jalen say? Or is the link still valid?
-
Jalen is still talkin. It’s been good stuff. He talked about being in a dark place before the season but this year changed his life for the better.
-
@BShark it wouldn’t open for me. Dark place after his dui? Hope u took notes.

Looking like tomorrow is judgment today. Or I guess more appropriately today/tonight and then put out publicly tomorrow.
-
Your notes?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Jalen is a good kid. Sounds like NIL is a real game changer. He uh, dropped some hints and mentioned how guys no longer have to rush to the NBA cause they are getting more than gleague in college.
-
@BShark why the dark place?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Figured that was self explanatory. He didn’t really go into details but I’ve talked about it here before. He was disappointed in his draft feedback which led to the dui etc Early in the season he was focused way too hard on that instead of just trying to help the team win. That’s why he was tight as hell and shot so poorly.

I think he will be 2nd in scoring next year, right behind CB.
-
@BShark wasn’t sure which one came first.
-
@BShark hopefully he can handle the criticism this time.
-
We are entering that magic time of year… especially magic now with the portal and our new NC hardware. Self is a real magician this time of year.
I am excited to imagine next years team because we have such a good base to work off of.
*Anyone in here think we could be the next Florida and repeat in April? It would be nice to hear opinions before we salt down the team roster.
-
@drgnslayr RE: Repeat… Shhhhh… To do that we would have to fly under the radar. Again.
-
If they get CB AND JWill back, they’ve got as good of a chance as anyone since that Florida team. Would get to keep pace of play from a season ago. A really good situation to put talented freshman in.
If they don’t get CB back though, it’ll be interesting. Would need some guys who didn’t see a lot of time last season step up big. Would need the freshman to live up to some of the hype. Likely will need a transfer player to be an All-Big 12 player.
I do think Bill is about to do some things never seen before… Back to back would be a good start.
-
Might have jumped the gun on JWill returning, my bad.
-
Yeah JWill signed with an agent. But apparently you can do that now and come back if it’s an NCAA certified agent? Lol. Probably gone oh well.
-

His agent is certified. Always thought he’d declare.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Yeah. He and CB would be dumb not to.

that hurts , & if Christan leaves gonna be interesting. - -If Christan comes back - -means a lot why ? - - CAUSE we will STILL have our Dog , our boy with some attitude , cockiness , edge - I love seeing that when you can back it up - - Christan can back it up. Christan comes back next year might be better, NO Och to defer shots to seems like he passed up a lot of shots, I dunno maybe he just felt Och needed to be THE GUY. - Well id Christan comes back he can be THE GUY- I still have serious doubts about him coming back but the ol wise one says - Oh he will be back -so we will have to see - hope so
-
@BShark so they can or not come back?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 can come back. Wouldn’t count on it based on what I heard tonight. Seems like the interviews happened today/tonight.
3 transfers out is still my guess. With what I was told on who we are targeting, they are recruiting as if Jalen is leaving.
-
@BShark if only g league?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think he’d need a better offer than gleague. He wants to go pro somewhere though. His dream.
-
@BShark so he’s ok with overseas?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 i imagine it would depend on the contract
-
Got Snippets from TOS some comments about our incoming Frosh - sounds pretty decent anyways which I pretty much had been hearing and seeing anyways but this is what I saw;
Udeh : - -Love hearing this - - -High Energy , excellent on the glass ( That’s really good to hear ) & really good rim in transition - - oh ya Rice :- - -Power Wing with improved Skill level Zuby - - - Powerful , ( nice , nice ) Explosive ( - -THAT sounds sweet always can use those types for sure ) - & Ultra Aggressive - Me Thinks I like EVERYTHING that was said about Zuby
Been hearing Udeh & Zuby still kind of raw but that’s ok if they can produce in other areas and grow really good 3-4 yr players - I’ll take that any day - -everyday. Coach and the Staff seems to have a history of developing guys -
-
I’m feeling next year will be good. Not going to cut the nets. 2024 will be our chance once Self works the roster for 2 years.
-
Sure makes me appreciate what Och did for us and the smart decision he made for himself. He also put in the work.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Another senior or seniors (counting Big Dave and Remy) leading their team to a national championship. Been a while since a OAD laden team has won it. Maybe Duke in 2015 was the last?
-
This won’t happen but imagine if CB and JWill came back and we swapped Cuffe for Hunter. 🥶🥶🥶
-
Cuffe was signing autographs
-
@BShark are you saying we have a chance with CB?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 if he gets first round feedback he will leave
-
-
@BShark said in Next Year's Team Thread:
@Crimsonorblue22 if he gets first round feedback he will leave
And I think he will get that 1st round feedback
-
-
@BShark said in Next Year's Team Thread:

As much as I want him to stay, I think you’re right.
-
@Jethro I’ve heard some things on this one. If he isn’t going to be drafted in the first round, he should be back.
-
Hard to say where that ends up. I think if he signs with a good agent they should be able to get him taken in the first round considering his skill set and measurables. He was our clear cut 2nd best player this year.
-
CB really needs to get that 3 off faster and flip his switch quicker! I hope in the scrimmages he doesn’t fold, no bitches in the crowd.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 You bring up a good point- the reason I thought CB would come back was I didn’t think he was ready maturity-wise for the NBA. I felt like his big challenge this past year was to be really good at the college level, and he accomplished that. I’m not sure he was focused or even thinking on the NBA at all- he didn’t declare for the draft last year, so I’ve been assuming he was going to follow the Ochai path- come back for the senior year, etc. But I think he had such a breakout year that it thrust him into the 1st round picture, which could change things.
-
@Jethro Remember the posters on 247 that were saying CB sucked after the 20-21 season? Good times…
