Boom!

I'm glad he decided quickly. This blue pill isn't super easy to swallow, but I should perk up as the bones of this narrative are pretty good.
Another shot at it for the Kansas GOAT.
Paul Bunyan vs The Chain Saw... But, plot twist, Paul has a Chain Saw too? It's sitting in his shed if he can figure out how to use it... Let's go Paul! But this is not a 1-Stoke engine! No, teamwork makes the machime work!

@approxinfinity You might be down again soon, I know you like Flory and I think he will actually leave this time.
Absolutely do not click (new video sept 30 2025): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjs1LR1sarQ

@BShark I know he'll leave, and if the staff can field a competent roster, I'm ok with that. If we're a shambles and look worse with Stokes on the court than with him off it... well...
I guess Bill will retire next year. -
I'd love for him to be back, and I don't think it's decided either way.
Good to be back on the board fwiw, just needed a small refresh.

Who on this staff is going to lead us to the promised land in portal talent assessment? Vaughn? That's what I'd like to know. If we lose Flory, do we get someone like Punch, do we pursue the myriad of other competent players that @beddieku23 mentioned, or do we sit back and end up with 1 too few bigs and 1 too few shooters.
Bill declaring immediately is a good sign. Hopefully, he's all in and his staff is too.

I think our portal assessment showed a lot of signs of improvement last season. Melvin and Tre were really good. Our problem last season was not a lack of good individual players, but a lack of cohesion.

I think Case will be somewhere else next season, will be interesting to see who replaces him.
As far as bigs, keep an eye on Mouhamed Sylla if Flory leaves. If he doesn't we will still need another big from the portal. One thing I am pretty sure of is if Stokes is added, one of Flory/Tiller is out of here at a minimum.

Onward and upward!
In this new NIL era, it's really hard to see any continuity in any team. I hope they can keep who they want, and bring in good fits.
I'll say this as i do every freaking year...FIND SOME F*CKING SHOOTERS YOU SONSABITCHES!!!!!!!!
Sadly i seem to be right every year.
-
Tons of bigs entered the portal recently in the Flory Mold. If he leaves I'm personally done with him.

@BShark OMG. A college ball player jumping ship before his Senior year? Unthinkable! I hope this doesn't start a new trend.
This is not a dig at you, BShark - just airing out my frustrations.
