Manhattan Jaspers, Who?

I like that switch, Hunter can clearly stretch the floor and be used in the high post for passing as well. Sets KJ up near the basket to use his athleticism and ability to finish at the rim easier, get’s him easy basket opportunities and keeps him from having to much outside his comfort zone.
KJ struggled in the paint during NC Central game. KJ was fed in the post and elected to lay it in. I yelled Dunk that Shit and I’m sure he heard me (I was sitting at home) because he shook his head after the make. Soon after, KJ was again fed in the post and missed the dunk. Tough game for him, but I look forward to better games from him and Parker.

@Crimsonorblue22 I read on the Rupp Rafters that a poster expects their big guys to be out; the poster referred to 3, 7 footers being out, whoever they may be. Last game, Kentucky started Mitchel, 6’8" as their only big with 4 guards.
-
Yeah the missed dunk was odd for sure, Game 1 jitters perhaps. Need him to be consistent finishing down low which his numbers suggest he will, he shot 62% from the floor last year.
-
Is this going to be the game thread?
If so, I predict 94-68 KU. Harris with 15 points and only 5 assists. Hunter with 20/10. Rock Chalk!

We had a bird dog named JASPER. Great quail hunter and once caught a pheasant in his mouth as it was taking off.

I still wish KU would move the alumni seats so students were courtside opposite the TV halfcourt camera. Students bring energy. Gray hairs just bring gray hair. Duke’s seating as Cameron is the correct way to do it.

Hunter is so skilled
-
This is such a great passing team. It’ll make up for A LOT of shooting
-
@FarmerJayhawk might have a lot of assists again!
-
Will Juan score?
-
Hunter seems to understand how to defend and not foul.
-
@Zabudda not foul yes, defend, ?

He only averaged 2.3 fouls per 40 minutes last season. He definitely can play defense without fouling.
-
Did I confuse myself?
-
Well this is fun. Apparently if I get to a game stop the flop won’t like me sitting along the court with my gray hair!!!

Will he need to even take a shot tonight? The way they’re looking so far, he may not need to take a shot again tonight.
-
This team is insanely unselfish so far this season. Definitely a big Dejuan influence with that mentality.
-
@wissox Gray hairs pay for the players.

-
Oh my
-
@FarmerJayhawk that would be so fun!🥳
-
What’s wrong with KU’s offense? Why aren’t they shooting 70% like Monday night!?!?
-
Sky is falling
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 cooled off to 61% lol
-
Jeff Gueldner said in pregame that they needed to play like it’s Kensucky.
-
Hunter has his lucky shoes on again.
-
Kevin McCullar is our Scottie Pippen

I welcome you to the game, but I would like to see the alums sitting somewhere besides courtside. Don’t you like the energy the students bring at Cameron? I know it will never happen, but I just mention this preference once a year.
-
Yes, please zone an elite passing team
-
KJ is always ready to rumble.
-
@stoptheflop I was just joking really! Badger fans complain about the same and I do agree.
-
Fuuuuurph
-
Furphy is good good
-
Furphy with a lot of shades of dick
-
Why does Furphy look like the lead in every Disney Channel original movie from 1997
-
Furphy is a CB Dick hybrid and he looks like Keanu Reeves
-
Furphy is going to be Svi 2.0 in a few years book it
-
@kjayhawks where do I book it?
-
Going to be honest Nick has been a massive let down this far.

Thank goodness for Furph.

Disagree that it will be a few years…
-
The Furph is having an impact.
-
@FarmerJayhawk coach mentioned he wanted Kevin bringing up the ball when Juan was out.
-
@kjayhawks who is Nick?
-
Good to see McDoswell get in

Wikipedia: The Jaspers nickname comes from Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C., who was a memorable figure at the college. He was head of resident students, athletic director, and baseball coach during the late 1800s. (He is also credited with inventing the 7th inning stretch after noticing the players were regularly getting worn down at that point.)
As to basketball, the Jaspers’ most notable victory was upsetting Jerry West’s WVU in the 1958 NCAA 1st rd. They have made the tourney 8 times, including 2014 and 15.
