Getting away from Brewster helped him. Things were interesting there

Oh that’s what you meant. The NBA directly.
We did! Not enough money.

I know we don’t necessarily need a big… but I would go get Hunter Dickinson just because…
Also heard a rumor that McCullar may not go after all. Not sure the validity

Bill wants a big. Hunter should move to the top of the board you would think.
-
@BShark especially one that can hit from outside. I would say he wasn’t at his best this season. I watched Michigan quite a bit and I think that whole team was just so incohesive for whatever reason. It put all of them in a different funk on any given night
-
If Hunter Dickinson has interest in KU, you make room for him. Self or someone else should already have been on phone pitching him on a spot here.
because he is a game changer for someone and at a place like KU where Self loves playing through the post, Dickinson could be a national player of the year candidate here. Adams, Udeh, and Ejiofor are not at that level of good yet.
That said, I don’t think Dickinson will be wearing crimson and blue next season. Kentucky or Georgetown are likely the landing spots for Dickinson. Kentucky will likely be dependent on Oscar Tshiebwe leaving which sounds likely at this point and Georgetown is a strong contender because Dickinson is from the DC area and have a good coach in Ed Cooley who will be looking to get Georgetown turned around in a hurry. Dickinson would be that guy for Cooley.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 this all makes sense. But we have 1 thing going that the others don’t necessarily and that’s winning. That’s why he went back to Michigan this season and it didn’t happen. He could be feeling a Lil hungry. CS is hopefully preparing to throw the proverbial kitchen sink as we speak or already has
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Syracuse is a dark horse here too.
-
He surely isn’t gonna wanna rebuild Gtown… Cooley is a terrific coach imo but that’s not happening overnight. HD wants to win now I think. Syracuse? Kind of same story?

UK and Michigan were his final two out of high school. UK can offer more NIL money than anyone else. Oscar Tshiebwe is the hurdle there and it sounds like he’s strongly leaning towards beginning his pro career.
Georgetown is home and their NIL program is also very strong and willing to do whatever Ed Cooley needs to rebuild Georgetown quickly. And Ed Cooley is more than capable of that considering what he accomplished at Providence. With the portal, he can have Georgetown in the tournament next season. Look at what Tang did at KSU this year and Dickinson is maybe an even bigger impact player than Keyontae Johnson was.

Georgetown is a sleeping giant. That whole university has a lot of built in advantages

I can not believe people were flaming Goodman for saying it’s a better job than Providence.
They are not comparable. Ewing was just unfathomably bad.
Endowment wise comparing those two would be like comparing Kansas and Missouri State.
-
Yep. Almost went there for my master’s and I lived in DC for awhile. That area is crazy nice. The campus is beautiful and DC has a ton of basketball talent.
-
First thing I saw in Washington DC… our illustrious Nation’s capital… was a hooker…
-
@cragarhawk like a lady of the night or member of Congress
-
@FarmerJayhawk Warren Brewster Hooker left office in 1898, @cragarhawk 's not that old…
-
Oh i guess there were a few more Hookers after that…
-
Definitely a lady of the night. But it was not night. Lol.
-
@cragarhawk Did you see anything after that, he asks smiling naively?
-
@mayjay haha. Ya. Lots of monuments and the like… capital building, white house, etc.
-
@cragarhawk well what kinda deal did ya get? Did you get a discount by mentioning the KUBuckets coupon?
-
Literally LOL’d. Hilarious!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I should have clarified. I didn’t “visit” said hooker… just happened to be the first thing we saw entering the city. Lol. I was 14 years old. So it’s been a minute

The first (And only) time I went to DC was in the mid 80s. I just remember a lot of it being a pit, with homeless everywhere. I had never seen it that bad before — and I grew up near NYC. So, I’m not surprised at all at your hooker spotting!

Ah, so you started at the Capitol.
-
@mayjay I caught that. LOL.
-
I’ve been to DC three times in the past year and a half… Daughter goes to Maryland which is 20 minutes away. the metro is awesome ( WAY better than my current hometown Boston)… You can get anywhere quickly. Great restaurants literally everywhere, of course great museums as well. I did not notice any hookers, but like every single big city I’ve been to they’re is a fair amount of homeless (San Francisco is unfortunately inundated with thousands of homeless)
-
@Bosthawk DC is an amazing city. Lots of days I miss living there, especially since the metro isn’t packed like sardines every trip now. The west side of the city is super nice. Out west things can get pretty sketch.
-
@Bosthawk Boston is not too shabby, I love it.
-
@AsadZ yeah, but the massholes. Why is Boston so racist? That I can’t figure out. There is always some drunk white guy yelling racist epithets at ball games. It’s so common it’s become cliche. It’s like the KState Tourette’s that make them chant f KU at random events - I’d wager a sizable sum the f ku chant has been heard at weddings. Everywhere has its faults.
-
Kev will go through the NBA process. No decision made but Self is recruiting like he won’t be back
-
Regarding Cuffe- “we still don’t know the situation with Kyle”

Oddly it’s hard for any of us to have an opinion on Cuffe. Nobody’s ever seen him play! Can’t be that bad, can he?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I’m trying not to break the golden rule here.

Well I know you don’t watch practice…
-
Are we really doing this.
-
Read between the lines with what Bill said.
-
I know. But you know how us human beings are. We all like to form our own opinions
-
Liked the take at the time, we had issues recruiting due to the NCAA firestorm. Then Covid canceled his entire season, then he got here early and hasn’t practiced much in 2 years due to injury, He’s practically 3 years behind development wise. We will never know
-
Cuffe isn’t a power 5 player. There it is, I said the quiet part out loud.
-
I’ll just say this on Kyle. He’s a great dude but sometimes the basketball part just doesn’t work out for whatever reason. Some draft picks you really root for and they can just never put it all together.

I didn’t want to! He sounds like a good kid and I wish him the best but it did not work out here.

You’re a class act, Sharky!
Poor Kyle. All that East Coast hype! Onward.

There is a lot of talk that he is having trouble finding a landing spot. Self is a good guy obviously and doesn’t want to just leave him with nowhere to go. I think that’s a lot of the hold up. Worth noting he hasn’t played basketball in 3 years and has had 2 knee injuries in that span, which is particularly tough for a kid that was mostly getting offers based on his athleticism.
