Here we go… someone said a bad word, thank god we have so many social justice warriors able to come to the rescue of all us fragile people that cant handle it and make sure this bad person is punished as if he is the flesh and blood of satan himself.

Wait… are you seriously suggesting that what he did was appropriate? How would you feel if Bill said that? It’s not just a bad word my man, it’s a slur being used to attack a group of people. His statement was ignorance at best and malice at worst…

KJ and Juan. Huge.

@jayballer67 said in KU/Big 12 NBA draft decisions thread:

Mercy seen in a draft off CBS that had Ochai going # 7 to the Kings. Mercy , now come on be honest who in Earth would of ever thought Ochai would EVER have a chance to be drafted that high when he 1st stepped foot on Campus?- I figured he would be solid/good but projected at # 7 ? - Jumpin Gee Hossie Fats Maynard.

Also saw they had Christan as the # 25th pick going to the Spurs - - Awesome

That’s awesome! Hopefully that holds. It really speaks to Och’s work ethic and how much he improved during his time here. Also, what a cool story for a Kansas kid out of Burlington who lead his HS team to 3 straight state titles, a natty, and now he gets a chance at the league. So jealous (I’ll just blame my bad jump shot on being 5’8" 165, right?..right…?)!

Definitely gonna miss both of these guys. Especially Christian’s fire. I loved seeing that from a Kansas kid!

I want one more year of Furph :< and to have him in opposite corners as Liam raining 3’s…

@FarmerJayhawk fair enough. All my “friends” are too busy being adults with their wives/families. Gross, right?

Edit: kidding of course all Happy Thanksgiving Jayhawks.

Long time lurker here, but I couldn’t stay silent any longer. Those above me who feel booing their own team is ok, that we should immediately fire our coach, that our players don’t care, etc etc - just stop. It’s people like you that I never go back to that other site as it runs rampant there. Win, lose, we are Jayhawks. I’ve been a fan since my dad took me to the Phog as a little guy and fell in love with it all. Went to school there for 6 years and camped for every single game. Had great wins and hard losses, but that’s part of the game. I completely understand it’s upsetting, but to target and boo your own team? Sad. Hell I think leaving early is sad. You know this is wrong and if you don’t, well, you’re just another privileged fan KU has so many of.

These guys bust their ass all year long. They clearly played hurt today, show at least a modicum of respect.

Sorry for the rant and I hate that this is my first post… just something I’m passionate about. Rock Chalk.

Oops, silly me, how did this one get through?

Honestly seems fitting with Dame’s recruiting battle going on right now. I might need to look into this.

@BShark I know it’s a pipedream, but I’m hoping to have Hunter fill the 2 spot. I know he is also a smaller guard, but he was a great defender last year and was a huge part of ISU making it as far in the tourney as they did. Bill has shown he loves having two primary ball handlers on the floor at the same time, but I’m not sure how Hunter feels about sharing PG duties with Juan. From what little I’ve heard, Tyrese wasn’t sold on the idea of playing with Juan, but I don’t really know.

If that doesn’t work out, then maybe Malachi Smith? Terrific rebounder and a go to bucket getter. I haven’t seen him announce any kind of list of interested parties, but I’d be very surprised if we haven’t reached out already. This of course would mean someone has to be shown the door unfortunately, but Mosley + Hunter/Smith would be at the top of my wishlist.

@BeddieKU23 said in Morris Dismissed:

I disagree wholeheartedly that this was handled by Bill and KU well. To each their own opinion though.

He was brought into the school and into basketball program before his previous case had resolved. A day after everyone got lucky the case was dropped, he was suspended from the program for the Rape Allegation and is now charged with such.

There is no way you can convince me this was handled correctly. Try explaining to the victim and the family that any of this is okay.

Texas Hawk 10 isn’t suggesting that the act Morris committed is okay, just that the way Bill handled the ordeal was handled about as good as you could given the circumstances. Do you really think Bill/KU are “okay” with any of this? Come on. We can all continue this tired debate on whether Bill should have or should not have given Morris a second chance, but this was Morris’s action and his alone. Horrible situation all around and my heart goes out to the victim. Thank goodness he is gone.

Quick Edit: The script could also have flipped to where Morris gets his head straight and learns how to be a better man under the staff here. It unfortunately didn’t go that way, but Morris only has himself to blame for that.

We definitely played to their strengths tonight, but credit to them. Plenty of things to work on and improve and I wouldn’t trade our coach for anyone else.

@TYOHawk Things can change fast! Be optimistic!

@patoh3 said in The portal.:

@PharmacyHawk You can’t return them if they’ve been used.

I mean honestly, they should be worth more if they are game worn imho.

^^

Give me Williams please and I’ll return all my nipple clamps I bought during the Sarr fiasco.

@TYOHawk said in Welcome Corbin!:

Wouldn’t mind setting aside the 14th or 15th scholarship most years for the local Direnna winner. Love to see local kids get a shot like this.

I can’t like this enough. Seriously.

@TYOHawk said in The portal.:

No info but I wouldn’t bank on him either.

Not. Happy.

Well with Sarr to Duke (anything but official atm) I guess we just hope Williams continues to do poorly at the combine, lol? His measurements/first game were not very good.

EDIT: I still really want the guy. He was absolutely fantastic last year.

@kuballin10 said in The portal.:

@TYOHawk And staff went opposite like they always do in over correcting. Griffin a shooter to now White who shot his career best 32% last year

Just get Williams and we will be good. I’d rather have Williams anyways as I’ve said

I think that is reasonable given he is a proven player in college.

I mean, from what you heard is it a done deal with Sarr, or just merely rumors to drum up hype/news?

@wissox I think that’s what Shark was referencing. It’s certainly not looking good. Seems 247 pulled their crystal ball pick for us and honestly I had a bad vibe ever since that other site claimed it was already a done deal despite nothing official…

DAR DAR! His King Kong chest thump will always be one of my favorites.
