I’d like to take the opportunity and wish all members of this board a very happy and prosperous new year. I hope that this coming year and beyond bring prosperity in our lives and peace in our minds. At the same time I hope that this year is a special one for our basketball team.
If I have offended anyone with my past posts and comments I ask for your forgiveness.
Happy New Year.
I feel blessed to be able to watch this game in person. I was extremely disappointed by Grimes. He seemed to be lost from get go and was making bad plays, he was completely out of it. While Marcus was not scoring points, he was still playing with great hustle and energy even in the first half. His D was much better than Grimes.
Self mentioned it in the post game that he decided to start Marcus so he can get players who were playing best, and I agree with him there that overall Marcus was playing much better than Q.
Overall I was really impressed by Dotson. Its hard to tell on TV but watching in real time action the kid is super fast and plays with great intensity the whole time. He is going to be a star.
Playing Harris takes pressure off Marcus. I loved his poise.
To me Wilson is the most improved player from last year.
Nice come back for Braun.
Abaji needs to keep shooting.
Enaruna has talent and length, hope that Self can give him more PT.
Bryce will be a star by next year.
@BShark Yeah
I’ll take 4 years of Devontes over 1 year of Traes every time.
Sources are reporting that Royals have signed Gordon to a 4 year $72M deal.
This is a great news.
So I was watching the game with my 14 yr. old son and if I remember correctly, with about 48 seconds left and UK down by 8 points, one could see UK fans leaving the arena. You could see rows after rows of folks leaving.
I mean their Star Big was on the line for two FTs to make it a two possession game but many UK fans did not care. I bet one will never see such reaction by KU fans.
My son was shocked and made a comment that it is embarrassing for fans of a program with most wins to leave on an ESPN Game Day event with so much time left in the game. I mean UK players were playing hard and it was still a close game. Any thoughts?
@KUSTEVE I hope you and all folks in the area remain safe
Trae is a special player, I will get heat on saying it here, he is the most talented guard in Big 12.
@JayHawkFanToo That’s correct, partly because many TN and Louisville fans had left after their game. On a separate note they played the new intro video which gave me goose bumps. KU was the only team that brought cheerleaders and mascot.
Unfortunately the injuries cost him
I could still see him starting provided he did the work in this offseason
He has talent and tools
This one is tough to swallow and difficult to comprehend, would like to get feedback from others on what could have triggered this move by Bryce.
Langford’s career can be used as textbook on how to make coin playing Euroball.
@BShark Yeah
I’ll take 4 years of Devontes over 1 year of Traes every time.
@FarmerJayhawk This will be good for KU although I was hoping that he would continue to move up the chain as HC.
One scenario is to let him be HC for one year and evaluate the progress and if enough progress is not seen hire a new coach next year. This can also provide greater number of candidates next year as it will be difficult to hire a new coach now, Spring practices are already underway.
My gut feeling is for not to hire a new coach and see what Jones can do. He has support from players and hopefully recruits will not decommit.
With Jones I think that KU football will not be worse than last year.
Do folks think that this started strictly as Howard’s choice or is this something Self would have desired and gave some messages prompting Howard to make the move.
