@kjayhawks said in West Virginia- a game finally:

People continue to roast Bill on Twitter/X for continuing to defend KJ and play him as much. He said the last play was drawn up for KJ (stupid). He defended KJ saying he just had a bad game and then threw Storr and Griffen under the bus. Hes gonna lose this team if he already hasn’t. If he has any coaching sense he’d start the two of them and actually let them play thru those mistakes like he does KJ, Juan and Hunt.

He’s lost this group. And I can’t blame the transfers. You miss one defensive rotation or jumpshot and you’re pulled. KJ gets to go out there and put out a prime Matt Kleinman stat line and gets to play 25 minutes no matter what.

There’s no solution. They’re just not that talented and outwardly look like they’ve quit on their coach and vice versa.

We just have to wait it out cause Self has a fetish for the core 3. If things look this bad next year with Darryn and Flory then conversations will be had.

@approxinfinity said in Peterson:

Its a pipeline. Need continuity. Think of all the players you did appreciate since Embiid / Wiggins. Now consider that their decision to come to Kansas was influenced by their success.

They don’t get it. You don’t get Udoka without Embiid. You don’t get Oubre, Josh and etc without Wiggins.

Peterson being here is huge…we need a new face in the nba and we just need to see what it’s like having elite guard talent after watching Dajuan for 5 years.

Go get me some dawgs

We had too many pretty boys like Jamari Traylor said last year. I can deal with losing but not cause we were getting out toughed. Those Houston losses still piss me off

@SlimShaddy54 said in The portal.:

@TYOHawk E - - X – A - -C - -T - L - -Y ! ! get a couple of bruisers, mix it up, players that love contact and drive looking for contact . Kina like ol time Daryl Dawkins ( Choclate Thunder was his nick name )

He said when he went up for a flush/slam don’t gt in my way because that is MY TIME-- need those kind of players, guys that can out tough you Physical- or players even like Christan, guys that play with some edge , cockiness to them , some one who can talk the stuff and yet who has game to back it up- – No more tippy toe , emotionless that just show notjing

For the first time in decades…opposing teams came in the Phog and weren’t afraid. It was a rough season

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

@TYOHawk What have you heard about him off the court?

Leader, competitive, fiery kid and excuse my language but he gives a damn.

After what I just watched for 30 plus games…sign me up for that. No more smiling after mistakes or players wilting as soon as things get tough.

Well deserved…he earned that. These sites typically have a bias for EYBL kids… so to be # 1 as an Adidas kid says it all.

I was still celebrating the Furphy commitment and now I get Flory. Bro this is euphoria to me.

Our guards and wings kicked their ass. Shout out to Flory too…he grew up last night.

Coach Self still has it

We got the two most athletic guys in this class. I trust Self to do the work with skill development.

They fought without the best guard in America. I can’t ask for much more tbh

@rcjhdraft said in Princeton:

bill’s a legend but his messaging around the whole DP thing has been terrible

Correct

@kjayhawks said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

@TYOHawk I’m just not sold at this point, but it is very early and I probably shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

The thing that alarms me is when he isn’t on the court is that they look clueless. We’ll have a lineup out there with guys like Melvin and Tre and it’s like…Darryn isn’t in. We need you guys to score.

@kjayhawks said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

Worried we are wasting a generational talent this season because we don’t have the pieces around him

It’s the truth to a degree to be honest. We don’t have a secondary or third scorer. That’s an issue even if DP is a phenom.

Start Tiller. I genuinely don’t care who you bench but Tre seems like he’s more likely to pout about getting benched.

Other guys just have to better man. Council has to be able to make outside jumpers. Dawson passed up too many open 3’s and I was immensely disappointed by Flory tonight.

I’m not sure it’s a fit for either party at this point for numerous reasons.

I can’t see anyone beating the alleged Kentucky offer that’s floating around.

Almost always inflated but still, insane.

If the rumor I heard is true he’s getting even more than Dybantsa.

I can’t see anyone beating the alleged Kentucky offer that’s floating around.

They’re just trying to get an AJ Dybantsa/Flagg type of NIL deal…except he isn’t that level of prospect imo. But UK is desperate for a big time win under Pope.

My main takeaway was that we were a clear level above Louisville athletically and that makes me excited.
