@nuleafjhawk That deal with Alabama basketball players getting guns for each other/shooting -bad deal in general - sounds a lot like things that happen on the regular at GCCC. - home of Corey Dillon, Tyreek Hill, and briefly Arterio Morris. Jucco’s are shady.
The sports teams were wild when I went to KU - a basketball player and a football player were my neighbors pot dealers. Jayhawk towers was a hot mess. Pierce dgaf who knew he smoked - told the ra to close the open apartment door on the way out if the smoke was bothering him. (90s - nowhere near legal) And that’s the pc stuff.

@dylans Yeah. I’m sure there’s so much BS that goes on behind the scenes that the general public is not aware of. I probably don’t even want to know…

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Basketball Season:
This is how I know you have no idea what you’re talking about right now. Zeke Mayo is nowhere near as athletic as Harris. Mayo isn’t quick enough to beat Summit League players off the dribble. 90% of his highlights are him doing stepback 3’s because he can’t beat his defenders off the dribble. Mayo was also a black hole on defense in the Summit League, but is suddenly going to be able to defend Big 12 guards like LJ Cryer, Caleb Love, and Jeremy Roach? Furphy sucked on defense, Griffen is marginally better, but still below average. AJ Storr might be a better athlete than McCullar is, but it sounds like he’s still not playing any defense and is still a ball hog who might be trying to top his 32% usage rate from last season. Hunter is slow and unathletic which is why he’s entering year 5 of college instead of year 2 in the NBA. I agree that Dickinson was misused on defense last season and should’ve been used the same way McCormack was down the stretch in 2022. Putting 3 bad defenders in front of him doesn’t hide those weaknesses, it magnifies them and means KU has 4 terrible defenders on the court at the same time. You’re also right that this group wouldn’t give up 89 to Samford and Gonzaga, they would’ve given up at least 110 in those games. The offense also isn’t going to be as good as people think because this team still won’t be able to space the floor well enough due to a lack of 3 point shooting to allow Storr to do what he is best at which is drive and draw fouls.
Dammit, I wish I could disagree with you here, but I can’t.
I’ve never seen a year where we could do better by using more zone defense. Especially since we have a footer in the paint that is slow.

I’m sworn to secrecy as far as pictures go, but got some views of the corners, floor, and scoreboard at AFH. Circus font is EVERYWHERE, the corners and scoreboard are… fine? Overall some good upgrades in the concourses
-
Hopefully it’s a good upgrade because it has taken a while and cost some $$$

There’s already been some pictures leaked of what everything looks like.

I haven’t seen any of the floor or scoreboard released publicly, just the corners and concourses. The new scoreboard looks freaking large. And the baselines now have circus font which is cool
-
@FarmerJayhawk I don’t know if it was an official KU account or not, but there’s pictures out there of the circus font on the sidelines amd baseline and the new video boards in the corners and over the court.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 gotcha. I’m not on social media much.
-
Say what now?
Self also hasn’t ruled out freshman Rakease Passmore as a redshirt candidate.
-
Just checked and I think i get the SEC network. So, hope to watch the Hawks scrimmage tonight!

I got it. Self says they are playing quarters & going to be in a position where the Coach can actually teach and show what they are doing wrong/certain situations
-
SEC Network waiting for the women’s VB to end.
-
@jayballer67 They will do things like agree to press at the start of a quarter for 5 minutes or both play zone.

Sounds like we’re starting on the Plus. No way this ends in 15 minutes
-
I signed up for a 5 day free trial of Youtube TV to watch this on SEC network. I already have ESPN+, so if it’s on there, also, I’m going to be slightly irritated about the 5 minutes I wasted this afternoon signing up for the free trial.
I hate TV
-
To ESPNNews!
-
I can’t find it on plus. ESPN owns SEC Network. The quality on the SEC Network’s games is a little lacking with B team announcers and fewer cameras. IDK if that will be the case tonight.
-
@Zabudda ESPN News
-
The one thing that stands out once again, Arkansas is significantly more athletic and quicker then KU.
-
@BeddieKU23 doesn’t help that two really good athletes are out
-
With KJ as our go to man on offense is what it is in this game.
-
Not impressed with Mayo at all
-
Flory Bidunga on the other hand, I’m pretty happy about
-
We have played them even since i started watching
-
shooting percentage grossly favors Arkansas at this point
-
Geez wrong thread I guess
They are athletic and long We aren’t
They can beat their man off the dribble We can’t
Pretty easy to see which team is completely controlling the game and getting better shots
-
Sorry wasnt sure which thread we were using @kuballin10
-
This one works for me - don’t care who starts it just long as people are making their observations!

Is there another thread?
-
If we were up 12 there’d be no talk about “vanilla” @FarmerJayhawk
-
@kuballin10 we always run vanilla stuff in games that don’t count lmao
-
Pretty disappointed with our three transfer guards at this point though
-
We arent happy with Coit?
-
Looks gun shy tonight
-
Flory will kill Brazille
-
@approxinfinity 4, 5, and 6. Passmore, Mayo and Griffen. Coit looks like he paid attention in practice at least
-
Wow that doesnt happen to Juan often. Got him.
-
Not Juando’s best night either, but no one looks like they are trying too hard
-
Arkansas fans need to save some of their uneducated outrage for the SEC season
-
@DanR He was bad last year
Decent the year before
Then bad the other years……eventually people will see without rose colored glasses
He’s bill’s guy so watch him lead
-
Bland has been best man so far.
-
Little disappointed KU couldn’t muster up a tad more effort. Looks like they’re just taking a flop at this point.
-
Plenty of time though.
-
Kease has good size.
-
Like Kease and Flory
-
Frosh Passmore doing OK too
-
Love that! Kease and Bidunga want it
-
Passmore has a little Paul Pierce vibe, IMO. Banger.
