@BShark I’d take Zeke for another year if possible

Just wanted to wish all my fellow JayHawkers- – - a very Merry Christmas, hope you can enjoy with family and friends-- just the big thing have fun but be safe & we will see you on the other side - - -ROCK CHALK

@AsadZ Frank Mason - -tough as nails and a absolute dog

My Goodness. Lance and the staff really our just killing it sounds/looks like in 2026 recruiting-- - rumor has been spreading that 2026 was Lane’s year in recruiting especially local in State kids which has been lacking in past Coaching staffs. – Not in 2026 , KU at this point I checked had a top 20 ranking for their 2026 class.

In 2026 so far we have the # 1 or # 2 ranked player in the State has committed name is J J Dunnigan – the # 4 ranked player in the State & ranked as the # 32 player in the Nation has committed name is Hunter Higgins - - -The # 9 ranked player in the State has committed name is Jayden Mason. On top of this read/saw today we have received CB picks for Tgren Parker - -( Athlete ) – then we have a CB down for Nate Sims -WR ( announcing his decision on the 23rd, & we are the favorite for him WR - -Then the cream from today is A 4 * OL Kayden Synder - - with receiving these CB’s means we are in really good shape. These three picks that all came in today came from the K/State analyst predicting these three are landing at KU.

On top of that we are in a really good spot for the # 1 TE end in Kansas- name is Ian Premer, has been to visit KU multiple times and Jr day , Coach is cleaning up in State , no more of out of State Schools coming in and swiping quality players right here out of Kansas under our nose If we land Premer- — would give us Seven of the top kids from right here in Kansas. - - also in on Josh Galbreath a Rb right here in Lawrence- then the # 1 player WR out of the State of Nebraska Amarion Jackson- - been to visit KU multiple times and Jr day.- -Sitting up to be a massive year in 2026

No matter how this turns out, you have to love how KU has responded- --Kj is pissed playing out of his mind, showing Sr leadership. – AJ Zeke going to have to step up for sure

Guys I think we witnessed a team with a lot of fortitude -guts and savy.- - They could of just wilted after Hunter got ejected but seems like they just said NOPE screew this were not letting this get taken - -HUGE win without our main man

Don’t care what anyone says - -KJ was a Man tonight. Eight points, big buckets in clutch time, after Hunter is ejected-- but Eight points , Three Blocks , Three Steals, and Three assists an incredible job on Flagg when he was defending him

Hard to believe but Clemence actually given a little spark

@approxinfinity Got to say have heard many many times that it’s not important who starts the game - -you need to look out see who is on the floor at crunch time when the game is on the line.

A lot of times you will have situational substitutions sub one player in when your on the offensive end , and then switch when your on defensive end- -I go with the it doesn’t matter who starts- -Hell you go have Pee- Wee & the gang on the floor to start the game doesn’t matter- -it’s who the Coach feels more confident/better that’s on the floor at the end of the game

@kuballin10 I have got a serious question for you. Has life dealt you a rough hand ? – You just seem bitter/hateful , are you ever happy ? I’m worried about you.

The only answers I can give you advice would be , if your so miserable and disappointed with KU Basketball - -if you have such a dislike for Coach Self , then the answer I would think would be pretty simple and obvious. Just do yourself a favor , just go and cheer for ANOTHER team. Nobody gonna be mad at ya if you start to cheer for another School. - -Do yourself a favor I think what there is like over 300 Schools you can cheer for right ?

Should be asy to pick ONE out of over three hundred.-- Would be really beneficial for you , cause you less stress , help your blood pressure, Seems pretty simple, I mean your obviously stressed beyond infinity- -your dis-like for Coach Self is off the charts. -Why would ANYBODY want to live that way must be terrible.-- -Do yourself a favor— - GO be happy, relax enjoy. Hell you can even drop us a post card every now and then tell how good your new team is doing , you can refresh us all how much you can’t stand Coach Self- - It’ll be fun - - - HEY got a great School would love to have you – go cheer for Niagra they will love to have your cheery attitude— probably even let you tell the Coach how to run their Grand Scheme — - ya that’s it- -life will have a MUCH better look when you find your new NCAA Champ-- - just sayin.

UCF tried their best to give that game away against K/State , but ended up winning 80-76 -K/State on a four game losing streak

The Freshman for UCF Tiam pretty solid game – 11 points - -10 rebounds- -& - --8 blocks

wE NOW HAVE THE # 2 ---- # 4- – - -# 5 - — # 6- ---- – #9- ---- # 10- - —& -THE # 11- -RANKED PLAYERS IN THE STATE.- -& STILL VERY MUCH IN THE HUNT FOR THE # 1-- -PLAYER IN THE STATE

Lance the Staff just killin it -Ku now has at this point the # 4 ranked Class in the Nation for 2026. I mean w all know that will drop some when other Schools get more recruits BUT w not done by far for 2026 gonna be a really good group in 2026

@KirkIsMyHinrich YES , YES, YES— finally Another high Caliber kid top 10 ranked in the State of Kansas- - Awesome recruiting group we have gotten- -got to love it – ROCK CHALK

Here is a little FYI for people who think Aj needs to see the floor more, more playing time I heard from a pod cast just awhile ago.- --Actually needs to see less time.

They gave up some Analytics , they stated so as of this minute Since Conference play , there are 1,095 players in College Basketball that have are playing - - 30 %- - of teams minutes- - & have a usage rate of at least of - 20 % , so basically like they said so basically like your on the court doing things like your involved , getting shots up , turning the ball over- — your doing things during that time.

So out of the 1,095 players that this applies to- – AJ Storr is ranked out of these 1,095 players - - -AJ’S–shooting is ranked 1,095th – 1095th - -That’s dead last in the Country. Our of all these players DEAD LAST.- -, so ya let’s get him more minutes, ya that will work

They were carving AJ up in this. They said if you eve notice during the game when like they are working the ball around working it , working it , working it and then the ball get’s to AJ and it’s like AJ is a REC basketball player but like he is like a REC player before the game – dribbling the ball between his legs , crazy things -they said you look at Coach when he does this and Bill is just going fliipin nuts.

They said it’s not like they don’t try to do things for AJ-- they draw up plays for AJ and the other players doing things to make sure to be out of the way , tell him ok here is what we are going to do - like on ally ooops -they said they clear out all you have to do is just jump up in the air- --ball is going to be there and he STILL can’t make the play–ball goes through his hands. Then he comes back down and has this look on his face like- – What Happened ?-- just a total bust- -there is more then one example petty much things they said are vey spot on.

@approxinfinity pick your poison their 5 guy is not joke-- — - — Knueppel – -- -Flagg - -doesn’t matter

Man, I hate to say this , cause I can’t stand them. Yet it sure looks to me that Duke should be the clear favorite to cut the nets down this year. They are just destroying anyone they are playing games aren’t even close.

They are pretty dang good , and the thing is who you going to ry and shut down ? -Obvious one is Flagg, but go ahead and then the others go off-- doesn’t look good for anyone else. there could be just haven’t seen the consistency of any others.-- Auburn --MAYBE, - Maybe Alabama if they turned it into a track meet and they hit their three’s- -other then that I dunno.

@benshawks08 ya I don’t think 0-3 is not going to happen. - -Just think Houston at Houston-- - -Again not sure how that happened two yrs in a row closing out the Season I know we still have Arizona after that but crazy, anything is possible I guess.- - We really , really need 2/3 for some really good mo jo

Well we are now 2 - 0 in the New Season. Going to be a HUGE CHALLENGE , Saturday with Tech. Now don’t laugh but I really do believe we have a better then Average chance in 2-3 of these remaining games --Tech , and Arizona—I actually think Arizona is the most winnable of the three.-- As far as the Houston game— well umm

Really doesn’t matter how much we win by ,a long a it’s a win- no difference if w win by 20-- or 2 Still gets us the W either way

Boy I nailed this one , earlier in this thread I said I think we pull this out 6-7 points lol

Ya Colorado is bad , howeve they just got through beating Baylor which I need remind what happened with us and Baylor.- Just in case does the name Wright ring a bell to you lol.

We haven’t strung to games from wire to wire of really solid play yet I still have faith, I think we might just pull this out by 6-7 points
