Can’t wait for these covid seniors to finally be done

KJ played the best game he could possibly played and we lost because the guard group is horrible

@jayballer67 I mean it’s a fact dajuan isn’t very athletic. Doesn’t take away from the fact that he knows and plays his role

Never speak of this game again

@approxinfinity IMO I always believed athleticism manifested itself via a combination of explosion, jumping ability and speed and dajuan has never really showcased that(always plays slow and doesn’t finish great near the rim). His gifts manifest themselves via finding the open man and playing good defense. With all the scorers that we’ve gotten this offseason he just needs to keep hitting the open man.

need that revenue can’t afford to be left in the dust with the big 12

Not taking much from the game other than Passmore and dajuan looked good and KJ looked like KJ, aka non spacing forward who’s a bad fit with the star pieces on the roster

@wissox said in Peterson:

That’s all well and good, but when he doesn’t lead us to a national championship and bolts for big bucks I’ll just yawn. Maybe it will be fun but I’d much rather know the next Jalen Wilson or Devonte Graham of TRob was coming! Maybe they are coming too.

This program desperately needs Peterson. We’ve been stuck with senior holdovers for the last 2 seasons and they’ve been incredibly underwhelming. Peterson has the potential to be the best guard in college basketball and the best guard in the nba, and he’ll probably be the face of the program in the NBA since Embiid is cycling out his career. You need upper echelon talent to survive

Embiid, Wiggins left college with a 2nd round exit in the tourney, of course Joel was hurt, but we lost a lot of games that year with them. Josh Jackson played on a more complete team with us I think and we made it to the sweet 16.

TBH honest I don’t care if he’s the face of the program for the next decade in the NBA. Does nothing for us.

The only way I’ll really be impressed if the young man is good enough to lead us to a championship. Maybe he is. Can Self build around him well enough? IDK.

yeah man I totally disagree. Him being successful in the program is huge for future recruits and for public perception. Coaches can point to him as a success story for going to kansas, like how they’ve used Embiid for all of the bigs recruiting for the last 10 years. Guys like Jalen Wilson and CB are totally fine NBA players but they aren’t needle movers like darryn might be.

Flory and Passmore we’re going to see lobs for days next season

The key is having nba guys on the roster. There’s no NCAA champion that’s won without nba guys, and usually the easiest way to get a surefire NBA guy is through OAD. Most portal players are flawed.

I’d imagine everyone involved would like flory to play at a high enough level that he can go to the NBA after next year

Not big on guys CB has vouched for but it’s whatever

Knew this was going to happen after that dropped pick just pathetic

JD’s ball security is pathetic

@rcjhdraft How would the boomers react and why?

Nothing crazy he’s just really big on social media

I’m excited to see the reaction from the boomer portion of the fanbase if Kinney commits. Very fun player

Even if you don’t get it, a field goal doesn’t hurt you in that situation. Zero reason to punt. Put your trust in your best unit

We’re getting good penetration in the backfield but once we get there the tackling and finishing of plays has been really really poor

Should be getting that play in ASAP
