Get him out of here. I was for a second chance but this guy doesn’t get it.

I’m honestly just thrilled we’re getting athletes again. It was such a crazy thing to watch last year with us being unathletic and not being able to shoot.

@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.

Sucks losing Kugel but man I’m really excited about a wing trio of Rylan, AJ and Rakease. We got shot creation, athleticism and spot up shooting all in one portal season

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.

Stokes is in town let’s roll…

@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

@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.

It’s Rosario but I wouldn’t invest too much time into that recruitment as a fan.

I’d take that

The ultimate cosign.

I need Cam McDowell and Ege Demir on this team Coach Self…

Who’s Ege Demir?

Our latest Euro adventure?

Correct backup big

I need Cam McDowell and Ege Demir on this team Coach Self…

Yeah I think that’s a better way of wording it than I did rcjhdraft. I’m underwhelmed by their planning and have some concerns about the coaching staff and their ability to adapt to this era.

With that said if they could wrap this portal season up and add Kerem Konan, Marko Radunovic and Pat Suemnick it would be a solid haul. I don’t think it’s likely though.

I like the 3 portal adds but I’ll also be real and say I’m underwhelmed by what they did this offseason. I understand funds may have been limited but I don’t think they planned well at all and that’s on the coaching staff.

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

I love how we are recruiting only backup bigs and not starting wings

To be fair I don’t think too many starting wings are available in June.

Nike just driving up these bidding wars and losing lol.

Flagg’s shoe deal is with New Balance, not Nike.

I know lol. Nike was trying to get him and they recently made a play for Darryn a few months ago.

Nike just driving up these bidding wars and losing lol.

@TYOHawk said in KU Roster for 25-26:

Team might be mediocre

I’ll bet against that

I hope so but barring a surprise or Darryn being a top 5 guy in the country this looks like a 21-10 type of team which is solid but isn’t a contender or in that tier. Kind of reminds me of the Oubre/Alexander team.
