@mayjay yes, strong ass take! This.
-
There is some really dark ideas going around... like he has eligibility issues. Or others saying he won't return. This all needs to stop...and let this play out.
I still have confidence in his return and this is all a legitimate concern about his health.
-
I look at Darryn and I see a mature kid who is capable of getting through this and beign a major player for us. He looks relaxed and rooting for his teammates, cutitng up with them. Team unity is strong and Darryn isnt a primadonna in that dept, he looks like a good teammate. We really need to not undermine the ability for that to happen.

I keep hearing his camp is the hold, Self thought he would play last night and his group is saying let’s wait and see. If that’s the case his group is going to end up costing him millions.

@kjayhawks2.0 I’m calling “fan fiction “ on this one.
Kyrie Irving — 11 games → #1 pick
Darius Garland — 5 games → #5 picWhat will cost him millions is if he comes back before he is ready.

I'm thinking Bill or family will untie Darryn at the next home game which will be after Mizzou at a neutral site and on the road at NCSU. At that time we might be 8-3 or 6-5. It could be about a 20 win season which is where KenPom had us last time I checked. We might go 9-6 in conference or less if we drop a couple of home court games. I was thinking this team had found an identity after Vegas but looking back a repeatable scoring offense is missing. Hurley adjusted and sent guards and all to the boards and turned Mullin loose and we never adjusted back and failed to answer.

Valid but DP hasn’t played a full game
-
@approxinfinity True but I have ants in my pants and I need to dance.
-
I just want to remind everyone that the story was that the injury came during warmups.
If so, trainers need to be a bit more engaged.
I mean, if you calculate the time lost during these games in terms of DPs NIL$, it's probably not far from the salary of a trainer.
-
Jayhawk slant reports DP should be available Sunday. I'll believe it when I see it.
-
Came from Bill Self so we'll see..
-
@Jayhawk_69 He will 100% be available! He'll be handing out Gatorade to the actual players.
Sorry. I'm not a hater. Just a smart-ass.
-
I'm trying to remember DP on the court and my memory says he made scoring look easy. He looked kind of serious and focused plus quick and fluid. Alright Darryn we will try and not get too pumped. Come on Sunday noon.
-
I watched the video of Self talking about it and I think it looks like Self calling out DP and his group.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 Do you have a link to the video?
-
-
I didn't see anything that made me think Bill is calling out DP or his group. If anything it looks like he is praising DP.

The 2026 draft class is way stronger than 2011 or 2019. Kyrie was the only hyped player coming out in 2011 and Garland probably could've been the 2nd pick behind Zion without his meniscus injury at Vandy.
You don't see many projected draft classes that get hyped as competition to 1984, 1996, and 2003 and 2026 is because it has 3 face of the NBA level prospects in Peterson, Dybansta, and Boozer along with several others projected to be potential all star level players.
I've been saying from when his injury happened that this isn't the year to load manage because of how deep this class is. Peterson sitting out doesn't line up with any previous reports about his work ethic and drive. There's a reason why 12 year NBA vet CJ McCollum is on record saying Peterson was NBA ready last season.
