I am not saying that these were best players at KU but they were certainly talented enough to be recruited by KU coaches, Grimes was MacD American if I recall correctly. Tristan was highly touted.

RE: 2023-2024 Statistics
I think this point should be debated where talented players recruited and enrolled at KU for some reason or other struggle here and become better players and perform after transfer.
Is KU standard so high that they cannot adjust?
Is HCBS too demanding?
As there too much pressure here?
Thoughts?

RE: Zigging the Zags
They need to calm down a bit, do not rush, still time left to come back.

RE: Other bball games
KU Women came from behind and won in OT.
Big Win for KU Women.

RE: Other bball games
KU Women playing against Michigan, 39-46 trailing by 7 with 2:40 in 3rd, back and forth.
Hopefully they can pull it off.

RE: Zigging the Zags
Key for me is for Hunter not to get in foul trouble, he needs to stay on the court.

Well I have never started a game chat thread here, first one.
Hope it brings good luck

RE: 2024 MLB Season
I was hoping Pratto was in the roster instead of Minors
Also I would have liked to see Lynch get 5th spot in the rotation instead of Marsh

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
He is getting PAID.
Emotionally I am feeling sorry to see him go.
NFL Business wise, I am at peace.
All said, I am happy for him.

RE: Danny Manning
Dok was a freak athlete who could grab the ball far out with his crazy wing span and dunk everything. I don’t remember how good was his overall game especially when playing with back to the basket. Did he develop good post moves.
Danny did superbly well in actually developing guys who were not that athletic Darnell, Sasha, Shady, Morris twins etc
-
RE: Danny Manning
IMO he was a great assistant coach for KU Bigs although game has evolved since his time at KU.
I think he can still contribute to development of Bigs especially on improvement in technique and creating angles, moves etc. when playing close to the basket.

RE: Sams club game chat
As I have been saying, tourney is a different animal.
Experience and good coaching count a lot more than normal season.
Recall, no way we would have lost to Arkansas if we had Self coaching last year.
Deep bench is not such a big factor.
-
RE: Tourney hopes
If team is healthy, I like our chances.
We have tourney experience, played on big stages.
We have senior leadership.
We will play with chip on the shoulder.
We have HCBS.

RE: Bracket chat
Folks, tell me how you see bracket toughness on paper:
Below is mine:
1, East, 2 South, 3 Midwest, 4 West

RE: Bracket chat
If Hunter is and McCullar at 90 I feel very confident with our chances to advance to second weekend
-
RE: Bracket chat
@Texas-Hawk-10 thanks, much lower than season average
I like our chances to advance
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Part of me is happy to see this as Self is going all in leaving no stone unturned

RE: Bracket chat
Generally speaking 3pt% goes down in the tournament, too much pressure.
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@Texas-Hawk-10 If that’s the case then my hats off to Bears brass
-
RE: Bracket chat
@KirkIsMyHinrich any data on 3pt percentage on neutral courts
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@dylans I think Bears made a mistake here but lets see.
-
RE: Tourney hopes
Most stations predicting KU as a 4 seed in East facing S Carolina in round 2 provided we win rnd 1 game.
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Personally I think Bears should have kept him to create competition, no matter how talented it’s not easy for rookie Quarterbacks to excel in rookie year. Mahomes sat and learned from Alex Smith in his rookie year.
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
I think Houston @Texas-Hawk-10 and Philly have improved most this year by their FA signings and moves.

Self's Salary
Here is an article from USA Today on Bill’s salary, interesting read.
I strongly believe he deserves it.
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
It appears that Justin Fields with remain with Bears.
Most teams tied to him, have already selected their quarterback.
This may end up being a good move for bears, create battle and competition for number one spot.
-
RE: Recruiting Notes
Biggest issue this year was lack of depth, just cannot go on the entire season without any bench contribution.
Starters cannot play 35+ minutes each and every game.
Ultimately it takes a toll and that’s what happened to this team.
Another point is lack of mental toughness, we needed at least one player with mental toughness of Franks, Devontes, CBs, Ochais, JWils

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Mayfield getting 3 years $100M from Bucks.
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Patriots traded Jones to Jags for 6th rounder.
With 3rd pick they will now definitely select QB.

RE: Thoughts On 2024 Schedule
Not knowing much about him, can Marshall run the offense.

RE: New NIL tournament for next year
@kjayhawks Sorry to hear man, hang in there. I am sure Self will never go with such a thin roster.
We will be back next year.
-
RE: New NIL tournament for next year
@kjayhawks Hang in there man, one cannot be great every year. KU/Self will be back next year with vengeance.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Denver traded Judey to Browns, I was not expecting this one.

RE: Cougar chat
One can point finger at roster buildup but injuries are out of Self’s control.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@mayjay $95M guaranteed, about $32M per year, Wow

RE: How about those lady Jayhawks
KU Women are doing well.
Great to see progress since beginning of Bif 12 games.
-
RE: 2024 MLB Season
Brad Keller has signed a minor league deal with While Sox @wissox
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Report is out that Chiefs are signing D Tranquil, 3 yrs $19M, 13M guaranteed.
This is a good move to lock in one of key players.

RE: Wounded Jayhawks game thread
Just remember tournament is on neutral courts whereas we have struggled on the road in hostile conditions.
Upsets happen all the time, other teams will have pressure too.
With senior leadership I am optimistic on our chances on neutral courts.
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@mayjay I saw it on ESPN. If you search online you will see it
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@rockchalkjayhawk $56M, 2 year deal. He got paid.
-
RE: Wounded Jayhawks game thread
NCAA tourney is a different animal, anything can happen depending on matchups. Timeouts are longer for more rest.
KU can very easily make a run to FF.
I am optimistic.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Russell Wilson got cut by Denver. Who will pick him, basically at no cost as Denver is on hook for his salary?
Steelers could be a good fit.

RE: BYU Thread
I’m moving on from this L and looking forward to remaining games, there’s still a chance to do well in the dance.
