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.

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

@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…

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.

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

@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’s basketball season.

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

Darryn Peterson

@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.
