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:
Hays defensively is better
Agree. Any time last night the ball touched the paint for KU, it ended up in a great look.
Starting line-up is Darryn/Melvin/Kohl/Tre/Flory

Absolute jump scare seeing this thread bumped
@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.
@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 
@RockChalkinTexas A ton of budget cuts lately sadly.
@wissox said in Kansas State hate:
Gamblers influencing Daniels and others. Only plausible explanation.
Great minds think alike, I made a tweet about that in jest a little bit ago.
It was interesting to get the extended 2nd half looks at the team without DP. Obviously in real games he is going to play most of the game.
@Kcmatt7 said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:
Would like to see more Dawson this half. Would like to see Elmarko try to get aggressive here too
Dawson has a bad knee
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I think Bardwell would stay in 27 if it happens
@dylans said in Recruiting Notes:
How does the 144th ranked recruit get his announcement televised? Might be the most intriguing thing about Barnett at this point.
Seems like most kids these days can if they want to. Interestingly he has been a fairly low key kid. Hasn’t really done the blessed to receive an offer from school thing on social media. In fact his KU offer wasn’t publicly reported previously since he didn’t mention it.
@BeddieKU23 yeah this is really turning out to be a large high school class. It’s not done yet either…
Oh and Luke Barnett. That one is pretty known. Announces tomorrow.
Swain today basically saying Kohl is likely to start.
@wissox said in We're preseason Number ... 19:
We wouldn’t have made the NCAA tournament without Hunter last year I think.
This is true but I also don’t love this line of discussion because if he wasn’t there the money would have been spent on other player(s) that could have been better or worse. The same is true of Dedric Lawson, who I’m not really a fan of.
@BeddieKU23 Yep. This was basically the worst Late Night I’ve seen and I was told that this will be the norm going forward. At that rate they might as well get rid of it imo.
That performance by the Raiders might be the most lifeless I have ever witnessed from an NFL team.
The back-up QB for Tech is quite bad. Huge drop off from Morton.
@kjayhawks said in 2025 Chiefs:
I know the chiefs lost a close one to the jags last week but the offense is starting to click right now. The defense and special teams are a work in progress.
Last three weeks they are looking pretty good. Rice coming back is massive. Smoke the Raiders please
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Ranking centers for 2025-26:
Zuby! Impressive
We chose Hunter Dorkenson over him 
Tech is on another planet. They likely won’t have a close game in league play.
Do believe they considered letting him walk. Contacted several portal bigs and got a feel for price/value. Ultimately decided to take him back vs other options.
@Jhawk69 said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Can Adkins shoot, drive, handle the ball, and defend the perimeter like Releford or Svi? Because if not I don’t think those are relevant comparisons.
No. And I would add Jalen Wilson and Josh Jackson to the guards playing the 4 group not that it matters.
Adkins sees himself as a 5 man, fwiw: https://x.com/_showtimedee/status/1972686050922287130
One last thing and this will sound corny but it does seem like he really just wanted to be here. The NIL number I heard was quite low for a player of his ranking.
@ReggieKansas he’s a somewhat more skilled but less athletic Flory type. Houston rotates bigs like this.
Leaning towards no reclass announcement today
