@nuleafjhawk Amen to that brother

@rockchalkjayhawk join me

Dirt around the bases like 80s royals baseball. It works, but man it’s ugly! Full turf is akin to playing basketball on a carpeted floor or a rubber court. It isn’t the quite the same.

Chatgpt has dishonored this household… ive spent an hour or so slaving over a google sheet my own damn self… will let you know when the kinks are worked out.

He is young and only played basketball in the States for a few years now. Just part of his growth that’s to come.

Tre is going to be an important piece of this team on both ends. Another good chess piece

Holy crap! didn’t realize that Jayden took 237 3pt shots last year!!! That’s a lot. 86-237 36.3

@RockkChalkk ya lot close then it actually was. they got some lucky scratch hits in the seventh, pitching wasn’t the best, but a win is a win and move on. Didn’t realize we finally got ranked- - – 23rd

@approxinfinity said in Staff changes for 2025-2026: Ok. Thanks guys… do you feel the absence of a GM will put us at a competitive disadvantage this off season? Do we have enough cabbage to field the roster we want? Without any semblance of transparency in this new NIL era, these questions are impossible to answer. For any public institution, all $$$ transactions should be recorded for all to see. Who knows, maybe Self and Co. are brilliant money managers.

Jamari Traylor joins the list of former Jayhawks to call out this team. Nice to see a lot of basketball people are with me.

@Crimsonorblue22 Any word on what went on at the meeting?

@indku1972 Well looks like that puts us with the Biggest % then , that’s good news

Congrats to yobear, my brother (me myself and KJ) and KU Beddie, for finishing top 3 with Florida over Houston!

@approxinfinity said in Bracketology: Y’all are just hAIters Is AI ready to stand alone? No. Its a companion tool. And yeah the uncertainty with certainty bit is true and silly. And I totally get the feeling that for creative stuff it is soulless. But so is Jon Scheyer. Is Duke partnered with Microsoft? Maybe Jon Scheyer bot is running Copilot, or Autopilot Beta. Good stuff. I don’t hate AI. I hate when people force any technology into a product for the sake of anything other than legitimately improving the user experience. My only point is that AI is not ready for primetime for most use cases and it’s resulting in many users misusing the AI features in products. In some cases the misuse is because users are not saavy enough to understand the limitations and the tech interface is underdeveloped to help users know when the results are probably unreliable. In other cases the misuse is because users are very savvy and know how to manipulate tech which is under-tested and underdeveloped to prevent deliberate misuse.

@SlimShaddy54 I agree 100%. For my personal amusement, I’ve taken it even further. This year, for the first year maybe since Danny, we’re an underdog — not a horrible seed (top half of the bracket), but our team seems to be in disarray and never really gelled. So I’ve made a decision to recategorize as a Cinderella, with the benefit of providing hope and smug satisfaction for every game we win, with little/no surprise or disappointment if we lose. This is going to be hard to pull off. Wish me luck.

This team’s transfers are really lucky because at least one of them is always going to be on the floor and with the green light on. The most complete player is Rylan who shoots 35.1% on trey’s, can make some steals and pass and defend. Coit brings the energy dishes the ball and shoots 39.3% from deep. Storr is running out of time to make his mark on the team but I keep seeing him do things that catch my attention like a tough rebound or a really nice move on offense to score but has that detachment and he doesn’t dog it anymore. They are all in the 6 PPG area with a few instances several points higher than average. To have any real success in the afterlife we need more don’t you think.

@kjayhawks Thanks. F 'em, I hope there’ll be repercussion. Yep, Zeke’s strong mental will overcome it.

@bskeet I think the answer is all of the above. We looked much better earlier in the season to me. It was like the Mizzou game broke us in a lot of ways. MSU to me maybe the most improved team in CBB this season. From unranked and thought to be mid B10 level to a top 10 team. The ACC and B10 are down this season from what I’ve seen of them. The Sec has looked far and away the best conference but I’d almost put the Big East at #2 right right and the B12 #3.
