@ROCKCHALK2025 I really like our team just as it is. I think we ought to lighten up the payroll and let the NBA pay players who aren't playing for us.
-
@ROCKCHALK2025 been really impressed with Treās interviews as well.
Both Melvin and Tre seem to understand exactly the opportunity they have at Kansas and the stage is not too big for them. They have the physical attributes where there can be real growth through effort. Love to see the process.

The crowd seems to love him. He can and will create his own shot and stick his own nose in on the offensive boards. He is always looking to attack. He is a hands on learner so if you want to limit his faux pas then play him more. I do think Jamari has earned Self"s trust and is being productive all around.
-
I am sorry.

Reports are that Darryn's family want him to be near 100% and so do we. If he is not damaging his leg then I want him on the court just like the rest his forum family does. Come on Darryn get well please and Merry Christmas and Happy new year. We have a wrapped present under the tree for us and we already have opened the one with this lovable team inside I didn't have a box big enough for Mbiya but put a bow on him. Samis our Brazilian freshman continues to catch my eye. He is always looking forward to getting an assist but has thrown to Kohl who let it bounce off his chest like third baseman Home Run Baker who let line drives bounce off his chest before fielding the ball and Tall Paul watched one go by but he had to have felt the breeze also Jayden is willing to share the ball. It shows they are playing to help the team.

@Tallturd1 I'm glad someone agrees with me I forgot to mention Jamari , but he has shown as far as i'm concerned to play quality back up minutes
-
@Tallturd1 i do think Kohl will eventually be a reliable shooter. Its really nice to see him find other ways to contribute.

Yes.. I heard that. I think everyone around him wants him to be safe first.
I keep saying this... few Jayhawk fans really know what we have here. If you've seen him play at full tilt you realize just how off he has been this entire season.
I know he's scored around 17 points or so... but when he's on, he'll cruise to 30 and he'll make it look so easy, regardless of who we are playing. There are only a few players in college today that can impact a game like he can.
-
OK, so it doesn't bug me the rest of my life, why is @tallturd1 your name?
-
@wissox83 before he answers - I'm guessing he's tall and a turd
-
@drgnslayr DP will never be at 100% while here at KU or so we will be told, & if he does play it will not be a complete game and we will be told he started cramping again- --then he will be out a few games & Coach will say he is almost there---Rinse & repeat/

@ROCKCHALK2025 in my darkest thoughts I go to that he has never finished a game for us. So maybe heās afraid heās not clutch. I notice he came out vs North Carolina when it became clear their guy was the best player on the court. He didnāt play against UConn which would have been the perfect opportunity to come out and show heās the best.
Thereās a part of me that thinks the perception that he is one of the top 3 players in college basketball is already out there so itās easier to not give any evidence to the contrary rather than attempt to prove heās number 1.
I just know for sure youād have to DRAG Melvin off the court in the last 2 minutes of a close game.
I then also think about how the bal sticks when heās on the court. Will we ever see the ball sing with him out there like it has several times this year as it whips around the court? Is he gonna give up his body like Jamari would for a charge or a loose ball?
At the same time if he plays 15 minutes during that dead stretch vs UConn we win that game. All to say Iām conflicted, Iām disappointed we havenāt see him play to his full potential, and I feel like we arenāt being told the full truth of what is going on. I donāt feel like any of that is owed to us as fans. But it is still sad and frustrating.

@Tallturd1 @approxinfinity Kohl is a first round draft pick in a few years. He reminds me a lot of Christian Braun right now as a youngster. Iām hoping we can keep him, Elmarko, Paul, Samis and Mari. I still see value in having a nucleus of players staying.
