For those that care about the women’s team, major target Addison Bjorn is announcing this week. She’s the real deal. One year of her, Smya and Jaliya Davis would be pretty exciting. Believe KU should be the pick but Iowa is a real threat.

This is simply a bad football team.

@Bosthawk said in Other games 2025-2026:

Yeah Maryland so far a very good fit for diggy

Notably he was going to play for Buzz last year as well at A&M but some things with his academics were in doubt which is why KU ended up with him so late in the process. Definitely a good fit for Buzz.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

Do you guys remember Luke Barnwell from sunrise in wichita? I was hoping we’d pick him when he left and joined Iowa’s staff. I saw his brother in wichita yesterday, he use to play on our team in the summer. He told me he would’ve joined KU’s staff if they would’ve asked. Wondered what you all thought? They’re a big KU family, and I think Luke did a great job at sunrise.

Nice guy not good enough for KU imo

KU women beat Missouri last night

I haven’t seen anything official yet but I suspect he will be out another 2-3 weeks

@BeddieKU23 said in Princeton:

He’s close to the worst guard that’s played here. Stats would agree too. Needs to go down a level

Agree. He was brutal today.

@bskeet said in Princeton:

Tre White getting his groove today.

Was nice to see him rebound.

@BeddieKU23 said in Princeton:

Bidunga really stepped up and saved this game on both ends. Great energy and confidence finishing plays

He surprised me a few times today

@BeddieKU23 said in Princeton:

Look like a bubble team at best

Without Darryn I agree

Oh my we are bad bad

Darryn confirmed out again. At least we know in advance this time. I was offered a ticket to the game and won’t be going now.

@focojayhawk One of my friends (also an avid Jayhawks fan born in Lawrence and REGRETABLY a Broncos fan) is also in that area I believe. @KirkIsMyHinrich

All mens commits are now signed, for whatever that is worth.

A reputable poster on 247 said they were at the GB game and saw him grabbing his hamstring when he was with the trainer. This is all really unfortunate.

@BShark said in Texas A&M CC:

This team has absolutely no idea how to play together yet. That will come with time, and shorter rotations.

I would think we would not see any more Samis at the 5

That and Ngala first half minutes are not something that will happen often I’d say

This team has absolutely no idea how to play together yet. That will come with time, and shorter rotations.

@BShark said in Texas A&M CC:

No Darryn tonight, it would seem.

Is it a discipline issue? That would honestly be better than cramps…

Injury related is what has been reported so far

@BeddieKU23 said in Texas A&M CC:

@Gorilla72

Doubt we will know until tip with how they choosing to disclose injury info with him.

What a mess

Hard to remember a time in the Self era when KU didn’t play coy about injuries.

Kohl and Tiller are definitely ones to try and keep…

@Crimsonorblue22 Yes multiple times already. It’s definitely a real issue.

No Darryn tonight, it would seem.

@dylans My guess is second weekend but it will depend on seeding and match-ups of course.

I was doing some thinking (dangerous for me) and my biggest complaint so far is Elmarko plays too much while being rather worthless. I’d prefer that neither of Marko and Mari be in the top 7 by seasons end but it is also clear that Elmarko is another in the long line of Bill pets. His stats as a Freshman for the minutes he had, there are about 14 players in that range during Self’s entire time at Kansas. All of them other than Svi washed out of the program and Svi had the excuse of being 16 or however old he was exactly. I think Tiller could very well end up being our second best player but it is FAR too early to say. Melvin is a good player but he does need to show me some shot making against P4 competition. Main thing for Tre is just getting his rebounding up to how it was his previous three seasons. Against UNC it was somewhat understandable given their front line but he also didn’t rebound against Green Bay…

@rcjhdraft said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):

Sure seems like Taylor would’ve been a Jayhawk if the staff went all in. They liked Atkins more and I don’t think Taylor’s gonna be worth the bag that he’s gonna get

Correct

Not dooming yet after game 2. It’s a tough schedule. Players will improve. I’m as excited for Bryson and Kohl as I have been for a frosh in awhile not counting DP. Both should have a bright future here.

@TYOHawk said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):

I can’t see anyone beating the alleged Kentucky offer that’s floating around.

Almost always inflated but still, insane.

If the rumor I heard is true he’s getting even more than Dybantsa.

Not sure Stokes would have been top 5 in this last class. Supply and demand I guess!

@BeddieKU23 said in KU Vs Green Bay Game Chat:

@BShark

Hays defensively is better

Agree. Any time last night the ball touched the paint for KU, it ended up in a great look.

Hays vs Green Bay, who ya got

Starting line-up is Darryn/Melvin/Kohl/Tre/Flory

Absolute jump scare seeing this thread bumped

@mayjay The food was good, at least

@rockchalkjayhawk Need the oline to get healthy/return from their spiritual journey (or w/e Simmons is doing)

Should be a fun game today. Wide range of outcomes on the table imo. I’ll be watching the game at a church event. Some football and fellowship.

@kjayhawks lance doesn’t seem to fire guys much. Very much a “keep grinding” guy so I would be very surprised if he fires DK.

@dylans said in Jayhawks vs. Roll Tiges Thread:

@BShark So you’re saying Bill thinks they have more to give. Good sign for things to come.

That is my read on it. And last year’s team especially he knew was soft.

Bill is publicly dumping on them, he never would have done that the last two years we are so back.

@BeddieKU23 said in We're preseason Number ... 19:

Just 2 games but neither Council or Elmarko have shown that they are any different then Harris when it comes to stretching the court from 3. Not going to work against good teams.

Very low team 3PA again, which is classic Bill in a bad way.

@approxinfinity Agree we need all of them. Not a terrible group at least.

@dylans said in We're preseason Number ... 19:

Flory has the best pick and roll game. The rest of his game needs a ton of polish.

This I would agree with, so he does pair well with Darryn in that way.

Mbiya has some promise, he at least has a “presence” inside which I do not see from Flory.

@approxinfinity Flory looked unplayable against Hays and Tiller was better in the Louisville game as well, albeit it was closer there.

Bryson Tiller really does look like our best big to me…

Should we have let Flory walk to Auburn? Is Samis the worst scholarship player in the Bill Self era? Many such questions are being raised.

@kjayhawks It is quite rare

@approxinfinity Yeah ideally Dawson will come around, there is time. He currently lives on the exercise bike, per source.

Samis - unplayable

Dawson - we are on Timberlake watch here

Elite wingspan Hawks. This team can and will muddy games up. BAD BALL @approxinfinity

The schedule is tough but I think this is a top ten roster. We have Darryn and others don’t
