@Gorilla72 doesn’t work sad face

@kjayhawks works for me

Welcome to Kansas!
-
Whew boy, another season of “dick” jokes. Oh well, it will be worth it.
-
Gradey Dick jokes were endearing. I dont anticipate Hunter Dick jokes being endearing.
Im fine with referring to him as Hunter Dick from the outset though.
-
@kjayhawks - well, nuts. It’s from the Twitter app.
-
@approxinfinity - Maybe get a leftover Gradey “Big Dick” t-shirt? Probably a fire sale.
-
@stoptheflop I’ll start. Hunter is a dick.
-
Whew, the drama is over — or just beginning depending on how you look at it!
-
Oh yeah…!!!
-
That man has a point guard now. That man is a very likely NPOY candidate. Maybe a lock. Damn smart choice Mr Dickinson.
-
It works I read online his Twitter blew up so bad it froze the page for a few hours.

But he’s our dick now.

WE GOOD!!!
Rock Fing Chalk
Great way to start the day.
-
This is a big damn deal landing Dickinson. I’ve said from the moment Kansas was attached to Hunter that Self can make him a NPOY and he can make KU a national title contender. He might even be preseason NPOY this year. He can potentially have a season where he puts up senior year Wayne Simien numbers (20 and 11).
Dickinson allows Self to slide KJ to the 4 spot so we can still have Dejuan and KJ anchoring the defense which means KU should still be a solid to good defense. I would expect Self to play defense like the 2022 team with Dave in the middle because that’s comparable to what Dockinson is on defense.
-
@wissox we lost 1 dick…and got a bigger 1
-
Another thing is IF we happen to land Mgbako .really don’t see how teams will be able to sag on Hunter to much as Mgbako ha a really good mid range game hit three’s is his strong point and can hit the J off pick and pop. You put Timberlake out there too just can’t see where it works trying to sag on Hunter.
We also went from a eam strugling to score at times to a potential scoring Machine with Hunter & Timberlake and if we can land Mgbako
-
Hear me out….
Juan
Timberlake
Adams - Marcus
Mgbako
Hunter
Shooters everywhere. If Adam’s game doesn’t translate as fast bump him for Timberlake and put Morris at the 2.
No clue how KJ is gonna start at the 4 and I love me some KJ
-
@kuballin10 I like Nelson at the 4 better :). Juan Morris Timberlake Nelson Hunter. You still have good defense in the backcourt. The length out front is absurd. Shoot, Nelson was top 3 in the Summit in both rebounding and shot blocking. His offensive game is more like Jalen than a true post. So you can still run a lot of 4 out stuff around Hunter.

@ReggieKansas - I see what you did there…

Technically, lost a dick and got a son of a dick.

I forgot about Marcus.- -thing is though these guys are still freshman - -big jump from High School studs to Major College, having said that I think that’s a pretty good line up - - Juan can have a field day with these guys. Man I hope we land Mackenzie tomorrow - -if he DOES announce.
You would if he does announce tomorrow , our chances you would think would be pretty good , s he is making announcement coming out of our visit and to my knowledge hasn’t been to Louisville or Indiana yet - -only St John. - we become suddenly loaded. - then we stil have Morris & KJ and another big coming off the bench… - -I really like KJ to - just pull hustle, defend, thing is though or I should say another thing w gotta get more then 4 rebounds a game out of him if he is playing the 4 spot , that and develop the middle range at least J

You are tempting me again Farmer!!! I’m trying to assume Nelson stays in the draft.
We lose Udeh or Zuby
and pull another stud late….maybe Nelson but who knows.For KJ not to start I have to see it to believe it.
Watch us get Nelson and Bill rolls out
Juan, Morris, Kj, Nelson,Hunter lol
-
@kuballin10 oh gawd if we start KJ at the 3 I’ll be on the OMG Bill has lost it train lol. Honestly I think they’d love to replace KJ as a starter but someone has to go displace him. Hunter clearly will at the 5. We’ll see if a newbie can at the 4.

@dylans you are dating your self with that reference
-
Whos the Better player mark Mitchell at Duke or Mgbako? Both stretch 4s at 6’8
-
Dang, i’m excited that we landed the top dawg in the portal, but i have honestly never seen him play! So, other than knowing his 18/9 stats, that’s about it. Anybody know his game? what’s he good/bad at?

Wanna hear the dahlmer and Waco cult jokes I can recall as well? Might have a few heavens gate knee slippers too.

On defense, think McCormack and on offense, think T-Rob.

LOL , hang in there it will be shorter cause , e actually now also have a football team that is up ad coming and competitive
-
@FarmerJayhawk Kj isn’t a 3 that’s for sure but seeing him displaced in the lineup will be difficult. I’m just stirring the pot lol. I love Kj it was so evident first half against Arkansas he was out we sucked. We need KJ just prefer spark of the bench and adjust how we defend to add a wrinkle.
Who starts between Morris, Timberlake, KJ, and Mgbako will be fun to see!

Well, as @wissox can tell you, Hunter has shown he is good at getting a leg up on an opponent.

Hunter is very good. Seen quite a bit of him the last two seasons. Great touch around the basket, but can pop from outside too.
-
@jayballer67 gotta remember KJ was boxing out the opposing big men on every team so they wouldn’t get the rebound. Which is why you saw our trio of wings rebound so well. That overwhelming big man KJ was assigned to will have to box out Hunter to keep him from getting his 10 rebounds a game. Which will completely allow KJ to rebound at a much higher rate with his elite athleticism and IQ.

Stolen from Twitter:
Only 2 #Jayhawks in #KUbball history have scored more points in their first 3 seasons than Hunter Dickinson scored in his first 3 years at Michigan.
Danny Manning 2,009
Paul Pierce 1,768
HUNTER DICKINSON 1,617
Drew Gooden 1,526
Brandon Rush 1,477
Raef LaFrentz 1,473

So, Hunter isn’t as tall as Big Greg Ostertag, 7’2". Has any Jayhawk player been taller then Greg? Wilt was a shrimpy 7’1".
