Related, holy wingspan https://x.com/noceilingsnba/status/1790053045495107852?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ

@Texas-Hawk-10 Didn’t know it was a major leap to connect these dots
Defense this year sucked - 6th place big 12 finish and round of 32 exit
Defense you say next year will be worse - my assumption is you assume the team will also be worse. No?
-
@approxinfinity I’m being civil….u don’t see me cussing people out and dropping f bombs. Grown men still acting like their are in high school all upset over some message board fodder.
The lies part I’m missing. Assuming we are worse next year defensively than how will the team magically be better?
-
The Furph measured pretty good without shoes. Wingspan not bad? Dang, I saw the measurements earlier but have disappeared. Hearing about a stat controversy….

I’ve never said KU would be worse offensively next season did I? Self is over correcting for how bad the offense was last season and has recruited a bunch of transfers who suck on defense almost or as much as Hunter trying to get some more offense. KU probably wins a couple of more games and loses a couple of less games than last season, but it’s going to be a different set of problems next season because of how bad defensively this team will be.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I wanna be sarcastic about you caring about offense and noting how it will lead to a better team but don’t care for you to lose ur cool again.
Either way glad you recognized the other side of the ball mattering and made your claim you think we will be better next year. That we agree on

I’ve never said offense didn’t matter, but since you want to continously make shit up, you keep doing that. All I’ve been saying is that defense is the more important end of the court in determining who is a championship caliber team. If KU’s defense is as shitty as it appears to be on paper, then KU’s chances of making the Final Four next season are very slim. Alabama making the Final Four last year with their defense was a fluke, not a model. Teams with that profile tend to end up like Kentucky more often than not, not Alabama.
-
Alright i think we reached an agreement, kinda sorta
-
Wondering, were there better options re: balance of d and o we should have pursued?
-
Children children lol
-
@approxinfinity eh not really. You’re always compromising something with portal guys. Otherwise they’d be in the NBA
-
Swain just tweeted a kangaroo with a “very nice” gif. Do we think that means furfy is trending well in the draft or is there a shot he returns to KU?

Trending well in the draft, could be invited to the green room
-
Well, whoever on the KU staff who found him – Good job.
-
Really happy for Furphy. Helps with wing recruiting and in general going forward.

Exactly…kid came in a late bloomer who ended up around top 50…left with a green room invite and will be a top 20 pick. Good stuff to pitch to AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson

WEEOOOO WEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BILL SELF IS ON A HEATER AND HE AINT DONE YET
-
@BShark Robinson ehhh…
-
So is robinson an apt defender with that wingspan
-
@approxinfinity I can’t believe he’d come here to play 10 mpg at the 4 behind kj……
-
@kuballin10 isnt he more of a 2/3?
-

Jaxson and Storr have never heard of playing defense before.
-
@BShark Is Robinson a likely commit? Gotta play D to earn minutes.

@dylans said in Transfer Rumblings:

Kansas or stays in the draft is the current belief with him.
A small nugget but talking to some coaches there is a general belief that Storr will thrive under Self.
-
Intrigued by what role Robinson would have here.
Fills a definite need- made 142 3’s at just under 35% in the last two seasons at BYU.
I know it was 1 game but man did he not look like one of the best players on the floor when they beat us in Allen behind his 18 pts.
-
@BeddieKU23 Doesn’t do much besides shoot the ball. I’d think a bench piece.
I also expect Bill to look to fill the last spot. Rumblings of a visitor (not Jaxson) Mon/Tue.
-
Definitely not a stat stuffer but he can shoot the rock and is a confident playmaker. I think this certainly gives Self a proven scorer in the rotation and good positional size to switch on the wing/4. You can go 4 out with him which just seems to be something they should have in their arsenal as an alternative look to the 2 bigs. I’m not getting my hopes up here but man I like this add if it happens
-
Seems easy to imagine that we will have enough talent to settle on a solid 8 man rotation by March
-
And hopefully another 2 poised to be the man next year. Continuity would be beautiful.
-
Per Robinson…It just may be modern times now, but guys going to their FOURTH college team don’t interest me. Next.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk hes a 1 year rental. We know what we are getting, and it wouldnt matter if this was his second school. Same outcome. So Im cool with it. I get your point about persona, but you can check in with 3 other coaches and get a pretty good idea of whether the kid will handle it well.
-
@approxinfinity I thought he was more of the 4 spot similar to say a Josh Jackson type when he was here but maybe I’m wrong.
If we get Robinson the 8 man lineup will be top 1-3 in the country. Now gotta see Bill adjust his scheme to the players and capitalize.
D2 - Zeke - Griffen - Storr - KJ - Hunter - Robinson….8th spot can be up for grabs with Kease, Elmarko or maybe a big getting some spot minutes

AJ Storr is on his 7th… and he will start for KU.

Gonna be interesting ? nice to have some depth for spot minutes.–I think we can see probably Kease , Flory & El Marko for spot minutes. -I feel pretty sur your gonna see Flory get spot minutes to give Hunter a blow. Will miss the scoring in those minutes but his rim protection & Rebounding will help during those spot minute time…
-
Yeah i would be surprised it flory doesnt get 6-8 min. Bill has had 2 recent bad defensive years by his standards without a rim protector

@approxinfinity the NCAA Football 25 trailer!!
-
@FarmerJayhawk pretty great, except way too much Colorado and way too little Kansas.
-
@approxinfinity so true. Honestly my first game will probably be CU at KU at New Memorial. JD is going to throw for all the yards

Is it a hot take to say Storr is the best prospect or talent on this team?

That is a concern of mine, who are the pros on this roster? In terms of NBA guys, there may not be any. History has shown talent is what wins. 22 had 3 NBA guys and 2 other league pros.
We know Juan/KJ/HD are not NBA guys. Zeke really isn’t either. So the hope would be Rylan/Storr and develop into that. I think Rakease has the potential but this year no. Flory is not an NBA guy unless the jump shot really comes along.

The names on various 2025 mocks are Rylan Griffen as a potential mid first round pick, I saw Flory’s name on one as a late 1st round pick, and AJ Storr as a mid second round pick. There is some NBA potential on this roster according to guys who do mock drafts.
