2023 Recruiting
-
I think Morris is capable of being a very important part of the team this year but his status is certainly far from certain with his legal issues. Johnson wasn’t going to play meaningful minutes so it’s sort of a wash if neither plays here. Although I’d have a lot of hard questions for why we hitched a ride on that Morris drama

@TYOHawk Just like Quentin Grimes did not do well at KU, but thrived at Houston and is playing in the NBA now. What I am saying is that 1 bad year should not decide if he is good or not. He was good enough to be recruited to KU initially, so the question should be why did he not play well this past year. Was it the fit? His confidence? Life situations that can mess with focus and ability? His ego not recognizing that he had areas to improve? I don’t know the answers, but I have not heard about any off court behavior that would put a bad light on the program. Where do we draw the line between tolerating talent on the court and behaviors that are harmful to others? In the scheme of things, which is more important?

Bill Self knows more about the situation than either of us. I’m not here to judge any young men on the team’s character.

Furphy!
-
@BShark I think I know what this means, but would be nice to have more than an exclamation point…
-
The athletic wing I’ve been clamoring for!
-
-
We’re goin Furphin’, boys
-
When will he join the team? Obviously too late for Puerto Rico. And…. He has some catching up to do.

What is a Furphy in slang?
ˈfərfē plural -es. slang, Australia. : a false report : rumor.
Lol
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 - understood. Classes start August 21. So, sometime in the next two weeks, his whole world will change.

Nah clearly he left his paying job in Australia to join the Hawks for free. #DukeLogic #KUBrotherhood

I’m legitimately laughing about this. It’s incredibly funny. All of the things about it are funny.
- Bill cannot help but fill scholarships
- Furphy on tape looks so much better than MAJ
- Furph was a hot commodity literally everyone wanted and Bill big-boy’d everyone.
- Our 2024 starting lineup now looks incredibly good again. I’m just saying that we could be on the watch list for a potential B2B championship out of Billy boy.
Also fun fact Johnny has the same B-Day as yours truly.

@Kcmatt7 Who is MAJ?

We started recruiting Furphy before MAJ left. Tells you all you need to know.

Bears repeating, the biggest 2024 recruit is Hunter Dickinson. Juan, Elmarko/Terio, Furph, KJ, Hunter is your title favorite.
-
Any word regarding when Furphy might join the team?
-
@Gorilla72 I imagine start of the semester. No rush.
-
@FarmerJayhawk - I was imagining next week. Classes start 8/14. Earlier than that (after their return from PR) would give more bonding time.
-
@Gorilla72 I bet most guys head home for a bit after the trip just to get some family time before the grind starts
