2017-18 Schedule
-
I could see this being Ben Simmons II.
-
Do they have any players to go w/porter? I ignore mizzou except to see the empty gym pics
-
Quite a bit different. Jackson always wore number 11 and when he came to KU he talked to Tyler who voluntarily gave him the number.
Porter, on the other hand, wore #1 in HS and now wants a different number and one that has been used by a two year starter and challenged him to play one on one for the number. Highly disrespectful in my opinion.
Sometimes is not what you do but how you do it. Jackson did it the right way and Porter the wrong way, in my opinion.
-
Apparently he was talking to the uncommitted players at the McDonalds All American game about coming to MU.
-
…or Markellev Fultz…
-
@dylans No guarantees KU plays at home. In the Florida series, KU went to Gainesville then hosted and followed up by hosting UK and then going to Rupp. It probably will be Florida again, but SoCar could be a possibility as well, but it’s not a guarantee the game is in Lawrence this upcoming season.
-
No, there was some talk some guys would follow Porter but I don’t think that’s happening. Tilmon is sticking at Illinois which was the guy some people thought could follow. Missouri is going to be terrible again even with a talent such as Porter who’ll put up video game numbers every night.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Tyler also used a different number every season, so it’s not like he was overly attached to a number.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Porter’s dad will also be on the bench this year. I’ll be curious to see if he sticks around after this year.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I think he gave it up for another player too, right?
-
Nebraska’s starting PF just transferred. Can’t see them giving us a game next year…
-
Do we know if Fultz quit going to class? It’s a big part of “Simmonsing”.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 finish off the rest of the kids? Thought he signed a 3 year contract.

Wow…
I bet they will be worse than some of the mid-majors KU plays.
-
Maybe going to school was better then playing for UW this year
-
Leading scorer is gone as well, he graduated. It’s not like Nebraska cares about Basketball anyway
-
Nebraska fans don’t even know what a basketball is.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t know if he did or not. I believe Tyler wore 5 his first year, 10 his second, then 11, and then 20. If Tyler gave up a number previously. I think he may have given up the #10 for Svi because that’s the only other number a scholarship player at KU wore while Tyler was here.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 tornado yesterday?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Not in my part of Houston thankfully because we were doing standardized testing the past two days and weren’t allowed to have phones on us or turn computers on. I was completely oblivious to how bad it was other than being told to have a flashlight in case power went out which happens regularly at my school.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 it’s that time of year! Glad all is well
-
Michael Porter said he might consider staying a second year to play with his brother…and pass the big money? I seriously doub it.
-
No way…
-
Sounds like Markelle is a good student…
-

Didn’t you hear? Porter indicated his goal is to win a National Title with MU.
I thought Porter was a basketball player, not a stand-up comedian. Or an idiot…

Not the school (University of …), but Nebraskans in Omaha love Creighton! Had many conversations with Omahans about bb when my mom lived there. Many were U of N fb fans, and liked having Creighton local for bb.
-
Probably all of the above…
-
Definitely Creighton is putting out a good product right now.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Nothing wrong with a kid who’s still in HS dreaming big in my opinion! But I did just read what you said about him taking someone’s number, so that’s not too cool.
-
Indeed. I wonder what would happen if the staff allows the player that currently has the number to play him one on one, beats him and then he asks to transfer (I would)…zero upside on the entire situation. My guess is that it will be handled quietly behind the scenes but one of them is not going to be happy. I just don’t get why Porter had to make it public,I can see why coached hate Twitter,

Probably a darned good thing Tyler didn’t get all the awards FM is getting this year or we might have to expand AFH to hang all those retired jerseys.
