Probably already been mentioned some where in here but Chris Johnson is going to be on Campus I think Monday - -and we all know Mikey is coming - -and remember the phrase let’s get Mikey. Mikey likes everything. Soooo if Mikeys likes it then good news for KU lol
Those two and Chatman are names I would follow.

Nuggets are SUPER high on him.
@jayballer67 Yankees should get another title this year for sure. Incredible team.
@jayballer67 It was clear he was going in the first round if you looked at Vegas betting odds. Was bet all the way down to +100. Also, he probably had a good idea it would happen since a lot of fringe second round guys including Jalen came back.

Hoping the Nuggets draft CB so I can watch him play.
Based.
Love the spots for both our guys. I can’t believe there were people that thought CB wouldn’t test well. He’s going to stick around in the NBA. Really fits how the game is played now.

Thoughts on CB’s pic?
I’m afrai there just no way Christan a 1 st round pick now. I think looking like 35 or 36th - -hope I’m wrong
We should play Kentucky every year, imo. At least 2-3 power house non-con games a year. Would love to add UNC into that mix now that Roy is retired.
@FarmerJayhawk If Bill pulls THAT ONE off I will be entirely on my bullshit on twitter.

For the crowd that isn’t regularly on twitter I made this meme and it’s poppin. Believe I already have some likes from Buckets regulars though. 
@Jethro said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
@jayballer67 Bill made a calculated choice to not amp up the team for that game. WE had just won a double overtime game against 13th ranked Tech, were scheduled to play at # 20 Iowa St, #8 Baylor, and at #20 Texas after 'Tucky. If we amp up against 'Tucky, then we run the risk of losing at the Clones, and against Baylor, which would’ve put us in a such a deep hole in conference, we might not get out. Bill even said he didn’t care about the game.
It was actually simpler than that. Bill was spending time dealing with the NCAA shit (trying to negotiate) and didn’t have time to do much of a gameplan.
Jalen is back in Lawrence and back on the work out grind @Crimsonorblue22 I know you were wondering.
@NormRoberts They are not actually related per Eric Bossi. Super close though, and I think AJ’s dad is Jalen’s step dad or something like that.
All the highlight videos of course say JALEN GREEN’S LITTLE BROTHER. lol
@TYOHawk He’d be one of my top targets if I were the staff…
@FarmerJayhawk This is extra funny because it’s like a fraction of a percentage of the cattle is Kansas alone. Like, if someone was really going to do something like that, you’d have to kill A LOT more.
Most in one place was reported at 2,000. Been reading up on it. Maybe 10k across the state but we don’t know for sure from when I last looked.
@benshawks08 Only 18 was “bad” defensively (only by Self standards really, as it was still top 50) and that team made a final four. Worst Self KU team overall has been the one preceding the current title team and it’s not particularly close if you are looking at metrics.
Haleigh Harper if anyone wants to google/look. @Crimsonorblue22

@FarmerJayhawk so is she something else? I keep hearing about her.
alert
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
@BShark cause of his coach.
I do think that was a big factor. Cam seems happy here, and the 13th player on the roster isn’t a big deal.
@Kcmatt7 Yeah, Bill’s approach is fine, it just leads to more “misses” when you take chances on guys and fill out the roster.
Cam’s issue is defense. He was a bad defender at the D2 level, so why Self took him I will never know.
@Kcmatt7 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
I think of Cam as like Hunter Mickelson. If that’s your 5th big man that is a luxury.
Agree. Not everyone on the roster has to be a P5 level starter and it’s hard to pull off. I think Kentucky only has 10 scholarship players next year.
@kuballin10 Mitch would have been a stud in D2 I feel. I was at the scrimmage yesterday (scorching hot ugh) and Zach is miles better athletically. Just watching them do the same kind of things, very telling.
Bill makes mistakes, he isn’t infallible.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
@BShark that’s not so great.
Not you, the delusional people that think Cam is good. Nance is good. If Cam is a factor we are in trouble but I believe Bill would play the FR bigs over Cam.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in New Guys Arriving:
@Kcmatt7 so was the lil guy his dad, the tall lady his mom and the other lady?? What a super cool family or friends! Or both!
Phil (the lil guy as you put it) and his wife are adoptive parents. African woman I believe is Zuby’s birth mother yeah.
@Kcmatt7 said in Pete Nance:
I think he ends up at UNC anyways. He is a perfect drop in for Manek. No chance we could even guarantee him a starting spot. Would have to get just a stupid big NIL offer here and be willing to come off the bench.
Not impossible, just unlikely.
Yeah I think UNC is likely.
@Gorilla72 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
Wouldn’t Nance be a 5? Jalen at the 3/4.
We could definitely use another 5 that could play. Nance is what people think Cam Martin is basically.
@Kcmatt7 said in New Guys Arriving:
@BShark said in New Guys Arriving:
Can tell the staff and his family have a good relationship.
For sure. Zuby has a younger brother but he isn’t a guy I think that we’d offer normally.
Speaking of brothers, Landon Braun is coming along well enough. Think he ends up in D1.
Yep. Visiting UNC soon if not now. Family seems to favor UNC but he is a grown ass adult.
@BeddieKU23 said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
Self mentioned he thinks KJ will play more on the wing going forward, contingent on bigs stepping up.
Dedric is as good of a passer as we have ever had. Grimes is one of the best guards we have ever had.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
Texas Tech continues to add, getting UNC shooter Kerwin Walton
They preferred him over Mosley is what their 247 guy was saying a couple weeks ago.

Sounds like a great kid.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
Ramey to Arizona…
Makes a lot of sense for both sides. Pretty sure he was coming here IF we had a spot.
@BeddieKU23 said in Mikey Williams:
I think in the end Farmer is right, this is basically all PR.
I think we will see a lot of that since KU won the title.
@Kcmatt7 Yeah these three are the locked for sure starters and all 30+ minute guys. Will be interesting that’s for sure…
@dylans said in Gradey Dick Call Your Shot:
@BShark that ‘07 team was pretty salty…was my first thought. 2021 was not a fun team to watch, completely pushed it out of my mind.
Completely agree. @Crimsonorblue22 how could you think I’d rate that as a bad Self team? lol
