@focojayhawk Only reason goat isn’t tied with Scott Drew is because he sat his precious pet nutted up and played a real pg…….
-
I know we’ve already moved on, in life as well as this thread, but … wasn’t that the game we lost due to the Morii not being able to back up their pre-game shit talking and related antics?
-
I’m referring to the VCU tourney game

@Texas-Hawk-10 Nah it’s moreso for all the people acting like he’s the goat. He will yet again have the best roster this year and we won’t capitalize in March with a third title. Other coaches maximize top rosters but he seems to struggle with getting them to gel and be ready come tourney time.
Why do you hate watch KU? You do realize that Bill Self the coach you constantly denigrate is the only constant on the team year to year? Maybe pick a different team if you know they will just fail, it seems to make you miserable and you seem to like to share that misery. Perhaps UConn and Danny Hurley is the apple of your eye. I’m sure they need more fans!
-
@HoraceZontal They produced 13 and 20 points but weren’t efficient and let Skeen go off.
Vcu went 12/25 from 3 while we went 2/21……
We never adjusted to Skeen knocking down 3’s or guarding from deep per Self which is usual. Was talking to another coach about how it seems every team always has a career day from deep against us and we both agreed it’s easy to see why due to philosophy
-
You really can’t honestly make the Bill squandering top rosters argument in the last several years. In part due to the FBI/NCAA stuff. Sure 2011 and 2016 were bad breaks, it happens.
To win a title you need NBA talent and a bit of luck too.
-
@BShark …wait there is luck involved in a single elimination tournament with 68 participants? Nah. Matchups don’t matter, college players are dead consistent. I don’t know why they even bother playing the game the outcome is pre-determined, KenPom nails it every year due to the consistency across the sport.
-
JT Toppin is intriguing, but the 4 sounds locked down.
-
Ok on Jaxson Robinson, how does a guy go from 68% from the FT line to 91% in one year?

Sample size. 68% was on 25 attempts. He is a good shooter.

Should have dug just a little deeper. Thanks!
-
But now I wonder, how do you only shoot 25 free throws in 33 games at 28 minutes a game?
-
@benshawks08 (because he’s not that good)
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
@benshawks08 (because he’s not that good)
Yep. Doesn’t offer much other than shooting. There is a role for him but it’s like 8th, maybe 7th man.
-
@dylans Wait why’s it locked down? I thought Bill plays the best players right? No way he’d play a lesser player he’s hof
Edit: yes, I’m being an arse because of earlier in this thread
-
@Jhawk69 I’ll dumb it down for you
The wich st loss, the vcu loss and most of Selfs……check what we shot from deep and what the other team shot from deep
It’s a Self dream to go 2/25 from deep and win and I have no clue why he desires that ugly form of basketball as if it elevates his offensive genius.
Why not have legit shooters who run an offensive machine and knock down open shots you scheme up?
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
@benshawks08 (because he’s not that good)
Dang farmer not high on him huh……didn’t see that one honestly
-
Wait, we got another guy on the radar? Jeez, I wasn’t wrong when I said the chaos was just beginning!
Either Self is using his full allotment of schollies, or somebody else is hitting the door.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I think if Bill can loosen the reins on trusting newbies (even if they are jr/sr transfers) then he will be successful.
The portal has allowed him to screw Nike by getting top transfers that aren’t straight out of high school.
He’s got 5-10 years left he needs to get 3-4 more titles so we pass UConn and/or tie with uk as they become the next Indiana or ucla
-
Before I respond let me see if I understand your argument. Are you suggesting that Self’s offensive scheme is good at getting us open looks but the players Self plays, including Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed, Devonte Graham, and Svi Mylhailiuk are not good enough shooters to knock them down?
-
@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
@jayballer67 Everyone knows Cal’s a horrible coach and Bill is a good coach. Doesn’t mean Bill hasn’t underachieved with the rosters he’s had.
When Hurley can match u in two years or Scott Drew of all dudes is 1 title away from tying u that isn’t saying much
I’m not even talking about Coach Self right at this moment although Coach Self has done more with less then Cal has, with all his Golden boys. Tells me just Coach develops players much better with less then others do with more…
Why don’t you talk to the people who votes Coach into the Hall of fame of what they think of Coach’s ability/ -No need to come back lame and talk about Hurey right now - -Is Hurley in the hall of fame ? - Not right now he isn’t is he? - might be later but not now he isn’t . - Let’s see oh ya Drew – is DREW in the hall of fame ?- - umm nope, maybe later but not now.
It has to due with consistency of a program for one - - - -Bill has constantly had KU in the top 25 Yr, after yr , after yr - -how many straight weeks now – - How many Big 12 championships did Coach lead KU to straight ? -THAT is NOT LUCK. 13 yrs straight is not luck— -it’s consistency .
Ya Hurley has had a stretch now is it consistent ? --we don’t know. - Bill has been consistent for over 20 yrs – -not 5 or 6 years. Why is it a lot of other Coach’s talk so highly of Self ? - -sure the hell isn’t luck - -The winning percentage he has had in the Phog - - is Not luck. - -We have won consistently with really talented clubs - - -we have won with ehh ok teams. - -Those teams where Coach’s ability has won the most.
I’m not even begin to go over AGAIN like others have tried to mention to you about all the things that go into winning a National Championship - So many factors. – How many other top notch blue bloods have done more then Bill’s teams - -I said bluebloods. winning back to back – just don’t happen, ya U Conn -and yet U Conn is not a blue blood - - - not a TRUE BLUEBLOOD. - -They have had a stretch of maybe 6 years. - -a true blood your looking at 15-20 yrs of top Basketball. Not sure if any maybe one of the true blue bloods won back to back - - UCLA with Kareem right ? – -Coack K didn’t I don’t believe - - a lot and I mean a lot has to go your way to do that. Bill must be doing something right or he wouldn’t have the type of success he has had over the years.
You don’t want to believe me - - like what I have to say – I don’t care , ain’t no sweat of my n - - - -. You think he has under achieved? - -Talk to his Peers , Talk to the analysts , talk to other teams former players - - talk to his former players – see what they say - -your not gonna like the answers

Have we confirmed that our Bill Self/Dajuan Harris basher on this board isn’t actually Remy Martin?

Na , dylans buddy Ballin would never pick another team, so don’t get your hopes up. Your 100 % right these other teas that are better he should go – -but like you said he just has a miserable life so he wants to share lol. - Eve heard that saying Misery loves company ? -Well Ballin is the founding father of misery - - just ooze it – sleeps it-- he is like a Bad Dream - he never goes away lol…
Finding out he likes to throw out pointless , meaningless statements that have no value just to get you riled up -let him go Dylans , let him rant , you know , I know he rants to hear himself rant. -No matter what team he roots for-- -he still a miserable individual.

Bottom line Dylan - -Ballin is what w call your CLASSIC TROLL

@Jhawk69 No, his scheme is throw it inside and let a big go 1 on 1 because of proximity to the hoop and “higher percentage shot”.
It’s the same reason on the Elite 8 Oregon loss team that on Landen Lucas’ podcast he mentioned that even though LL was like the 5th scoring option they’d throw it into him to start the game or when they needed to try and get a bucket. That unfortunately doesn’t work when the guy guarding LL is twice as athletic.
Bill is incredible at scheming up blob plays (literally 1 of 1 here). He is a hof that is of no doubt and the epitome of consistency. He’s a high floor low ceiling coach much like his teams churn out big 12 titles but only 2 ncaa titles.
Bill would rather muddy up a game versus getting out and scoring. It’s why we are the comeback kings because we get down and come roaring back cause we have no choice but to get out and fastbreak.
It’s his philosophy on the game that needs a tweak. Not a complete overhaul dudes a stud clearly and his philosophy has worked just fine but if he looks in the mirror and analyzes what he needs to adjust he’d take us to the #nextlevel
-
We lost that game cause Josh J got 3 fouls the first half, killed us!
-
@kuballin10 Criticizing Self for playing through the post too much is one thing, but I already explained that claiming Self to be a high floor low ceiling coach makes no sense.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Maybe Josh Jackson was one of Selfs’ “pets” whom he randomly decides to love despite being terrible players
-
@kjayhawks Juando dunked more than Jwill
-
@Jhawk69 That is literally proven true though I have no clue how in your mind you’ve disproved it. We have great records and fall flat in the tourney due to offense and everyone knows Self’s “stuff” he’s gonna run. Easy to scout and he has tendency’s that he’s blatant about.
We play inside out
We guard inside out
Loss to vcu……12/25 from three and we were 2/21
Loss to wsu with traylor playing 17 minutes….10/20 from three and us 6/21. If you remember we played two bigs a ton
Loss to Oregon……11/25 and us 5/25……
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Don’t disagree with this but just because Josh got 3 fouls we didn’t have some other good player that could fill the void while 4 other guys from what a 33-5 team couldn’t manage to keep it within 12???
Guys could have stepped up but when u got LL get abused down low and then you lose Josh with 3 fouls (he still played 30 minutes….) that’s what u get
Model of consistency yet struggle and labor to score in the tourney. Can defend all you want but guys at the d1 level knock down shots with hands in their face all the time?
Reminder……Google my second half highlights from the natty in 2022….bucket after bucket with “good defense” being played. Hand in my face what else can u do besides foul me?
@Texas-Hawk-10 still thinks D win’s titles. He’s an Eddie Sutton disciple as well

Yes, I still think it because it’s still true, but you don’t realize that because of how far up Dan Hurley’s ass your head is.
-
I’ll also say it one more for you. KU’s defense next season will be the worst of the Bill Self era because none of the incoming transfers know what that word even means. If KU reaches the Sweet 16, you’re going to try and throw that in my face like I give a shit if KU loses in the round of 32 or Sweet 16 if they don’t win a title or reach the Final Four.
-
@kuballin10 I had great coaches and learned from good ones, always believe in D!
-
We don’t play great D starting 2nd half, we lose. Your remy couldn’t save us.

@Texas-Hawk-10 https://kenpom.com/index.php?s=RankAdjOE
Click on adjusted O for the champs the last 10 years
Then do adjusted D and get back to me on what wins
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 You don’t think a hof coach can reach defense? His inside out scheme is off but he can coach guys to defend easier than making a Juan into Frank mason
-
I tracked this awhile ago, the difference between offense and defense on KenPom is like 2.5 spots, something like 4 to 6.5. In terms of distribution, offense has a wider one (goes from 1 to about 40) than defense (only 1 below 20)
-
@kuballin10 The funny thing is Bill Self himself has said he recruits guys who can shoot/score and worries about the defense once they get on campus. Not sure what your argument is, unfortunately you can only work with the guys who show up. Recruiting isn’t like shopping, it’s a two way street, Bill doesn’t just point and get what he wants.
-
This post is deleted!
-
@dylans I can’t find where he said that can you? It’s the smart thing any coach or player knows as it’s easier to teach defense than take a guy who can’t score and magically making him a scorer.
This doesn’t coincide with who Self recruits as we typically lack shooters and “labor” to score but muddy it up and play defense. That’s been Kansas for years….
-
@kuballin10 The year we lost to WSU we just weren’t any good.
I don’t think you understand what low ceiling high floor means. It has nothing to do with shooting very poorly in losses. If anything, a team that loses because it shoots poorly from 3 is actially high ceiling low floor. But anyways, you want to check a teams record against top 5 or top 10 teams to determine whether it has a high ceiling or not.
-
@BShark a small dream is now dead?
-
We need to get out of today, with no transfers out.
-
@kuballin10 It was a direct quote that I’m paraphrasing from very early in his Kansas tenure. Not going to do the research, I’d guess it was a KC Star or LJW article.

Kaden Cooper please….

Anything new happening?

Not really. Small to WVU expected.
KU looking at Jaxson Robinson and Jordan Ivy-Curry.

Is the assumption that the Florida guy will clear academically? Or not?
