Had several people reach out and yeah I am okay and will be okay. Just a bad stretch where I didn’t want to be online as much.

As I think I have posted before my brother has cancer so that is a lot. He is autistic so I have to handle more or less everything in terms of scheduling, talking with drs etc Well about a month ago the chemo meds probably almost killed him due to a side effect of increasing his blood pressure massively. I thankfully got him to the hospital in time that Sunday night. Also didn’t help that he was dehydrated. This required a multiple day stay in the hospital which also delayed several things regarding his treatment that all had to be rescheduled.

This was coming off of finding out a long time friend committed suicide just days before. Then after that, the dad of my long term GF dies, he was only in his 50s. Then a bunch more medical crap that should be finished for awhile as of yesterday. My brother’s scans came back clean, they did bloodwork etc and he isn’t having to do chemo. They will check back again in three months.

So it’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but things have calmed down now.

You made it count when you got minutes. Good on you kiddo.

Our only RSCI top 100 players truly in the rotation are Dave and JWill.

Couple KS 3 stars (Och/CB), a PG going to Missouri State, a super walk-on and Remy is obviously good but was a fringe 4 star (depending on the site).

Player development is so good, and people (myself included) tend to underrate returning players.

Didn’t really want to talk about this beforehand but it went well. I should be okay.

We got a star here.

Says he told his team to back off, but he had starters in PRESSING AND HARD FOULING KU’s walk-ons with 2 minutes to go. I call bullshit, Squeaky.

BAH GAWD, THAT WAS A GREAT GAME FROM DAVID MCCORMACK.

He’s been serviceable all tournament. Tip of the cap. I’ve been hard on him all year.

@truehawk93

Completely agree on Agyemang. AWFUL.

@BShark nice. Would be great to put the core of that class together early

I have heard part of this is wanting to get a big centerpiece commitment early to get the ball rolling. Do think Holt is most likely and Stokes is now trending Nike.

@approxinfinity I’ve been catching the last few Gold Cup matches. I’d say this is a B/C type of squad for the US, but they have done well considering. This isn’t a high stakes even so it’s good to see what we have in some of these guys.

Catching some Caleb Holt chatter. Adidas play perhaps.

Wow, Diego Luna is on some kind of run right now.

5 ACC opponents this year.

Demir ended up signing with Oregon after KU won out for Mbiya.

@dylans said in KU Roster for 25-26:

@wissox I’d hate being forced to work in Utah as well. The draft is kinda bull crap - definitely not how I’d like to be chosen for work. But I don’t know how you’d force parity on the league without salary caps and weighted drafts. You’d end up with a bunch of Duke, Kansas, Alabama, Ohio State, Dodgers, Yankees garbage where the biggest checkbook wins.

I really hate how it works in baseball. Part of it is just the sports involved but I do fully believe that the way the NFL has created major parity is a big part of the success. Obviously having an elite QB solves a lot and can make a team consistently good. But we always see a lot of season to season change in the NFL.

I can confirm what Farmer is saying about revshare. I seriously would not expect much at all with a potential last addition.

@kjayhawks said in KU Roster for 25-26:

@BShark our defense and rebounding should improve drastically. Ge last 3 years have been sub par for a Self coached team.

Yes. Hunter was a huge liability on that end. All the bigs in the rotation are athletic again.
