Darryn Peterson

@Jayhawk_69 said in Darryn Peterson:
The donors know ahead of time that there is nothing they can do to guarantee a championship
Obviously but would you go buy a brand new $85,000 truck and let them keep at the dealership and never let you drive it? It’s the same thing to me, you made an investment and got no return for it.

Sad stat of the day: Nick Timberlake 177 points in his Kansas career. Darryn Peterson and Billy Preston combined for 77 points in their Jayhawk careers. I was thinking about Preston the other day man we walk to a title in 2018 with him.

@kjayhawks2.0 At least Preston had a very nice musical career....

Was listening to the field of 68 after dark and can't remember who it was and they was talking about Darryn obviously and they said what KU needs at this point is a resolution plain and simple , they need a resolution.
They said you are starting to see the frustration in Bill-- Bill's frustrated , the fans are frustrated It's time this thing come to a head , needing to approach the family - agents and say look ok , we need to get this settled , move forward. So if Darryn is going to play--- Great and yet if he chooses to not -- --great but we got to know either yes you are or no your not- - -the NIL stops , you leave the team and we move on , we can't wait any longer.
It's not fair to Bill---- it's not fair o the other players not knowing ok are we playing with Darryn are we not going to play with Darryn - - -it's not fair to the fans- -& it's not even fair to Darryn himself -hearing this is very solid- --it'x time- -it's either yes- - or no

As much as I would love for Peterson to play and maximize the potential of this group, I agree that it is fish or cut bait time. What is telling in this whole saga is the absence of an actual medical report. You would assume that he has had an MRI. If it were a Grade 2 or Grade 3 injury, you would think that would be announced and everyone would understand that there would be a longer recovery time. But the absence of that report suggests it isn't a Grade 2 or 3, but rather a Grade 1 strain. With rest and treatment - and we would hope that he is getting world class treatment - then full recovery should be just a couple of weeks. This has been dragging on for two months. The idea that an athlete has to be at 100% to play is ridiculous. Peterson has shown that even not at full strength, he is still better than almost everyone else on the floor.

@DCHawker The real weird thing for me is , they have said that they have had some issues with these things when he was in School my question becomes he played a lot of games last year on the circuit and so forth - - - - he played many of games came through.
They were playing in multiple tournaments two games maybe three in short spans so the question is how did he over come this kinda thing back then -never heard much if anything from analysts that scope recruits out throughout when they are playing the circuit kinda weird gotta get this settled

The latest from Self:
“Darryn has practiced. It’s at a little bit of a different level now as far as his explosiveness, so unless something unforeseen happens, we should have our full complement of guys going into the game Saturday.” -
@kjayhawks2.0 I think that means he'll play!
Next question is, full game or not?
Next question, since it's on Peacock will I be able to watch it? @beddieku23 thinks any old fool should be able to watch it without subscribing, while I guess I'm an old fool then.
-
@wissox83 Right like most folks, I want to see what the kid can do
-
My guess is that DP plays in the first half and sits almost the entire second half
-
Well sounds like some goods new Darryn going to go tomorrow , good to be able to have our star player on the floor. - - - Now you know what the next question is going to be and it's a solid question as even the most loyal of loyal KU fan will be is How long will he be out after tomorrow's game ? So many questions and they are legit. How long will he play tomorrow ? Will they have him on a minute restriction ?
Like I said wish they didn't need to be brought up but you know they will, even the most true blooded loyal fan is thinking this I think before we can rest easier it needs to be proven over a two- - -three game span that he can play without restriction and not miss anymore time before we can feel like or take the approach of resting easier hoping we can put this behind us
