Things are very not great atm

@rockchalkjayhawk I’m pretty happy they are at least allowed to continue if they were already aboard. NCAA is pretty daft sometimes.

@BShark He is 26 years old.

Right, it’s pretty crazy that he has eligbility left. Modern times I suppose.

@rockchalkjayhawk I would be rather surprised if that spot was filled. Only so much $ and playing time.

Yea on that roster spot? Seems weird for a major program like Kansas to not have a full roster of players. Times are changing i suppose.

It is also more than it used to be now. 15 instead of 13. Admittedly it was always a big bigger with walk-ons. The last spots now are essentially walk-ons. Finding cheap players in this era will be important.

@Jhawk69 He only has one year of eligibility left. Frankly I’m not even sure how given how old he is and how many years he has already played.

Name to monitor Quentin Coleman

They ran some more scans this morning and are going to see if the surgery isn’t needed. It responded better than expected. They are going to see if he can drink liquids without getting sick.

@approxinfinity They don’t think he will need a colostomy bag at least… Hopefully that proves true.

ETA: It really does help to just have a place to talk about this.

@approxinfinity said in I'm Back:

@BShark best outcome! Whew. Glad to hear.

Does seem like they are going to have to surgically remove it now. They were hoping it could go away naturally with help but it isn’t.

Turns out it was an internal blockage, they said it’s not uncommon with people who have had surgery in that area. Should hopefully be back home in a few days.

taking him now, hopefully just food poisoning (I got sick yesterday as well after we ate somewhere)

@Crimsonorblue22 said in I'm Back:

@BShark oh no! I thought he was thru the worst of it. is he back on treatments? I’m so sad for you, hang in there.

I am not fully sure but he seems to be sick again. Sometimes it can be hard to know what it is, but will need to take him to the hospital probably.

@mayjay wonderful news

It’s getting worse with my brother the last week or so.

Completely agree on Agyemang. AWFUL.

@approxinfinity said in Recruiting Notes:

@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.

@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.

@approxinfinity said in KU Roster for 25-26:

What a difference a year makes. Would be fine if espn hype train ignores us completely until we make some noise.

I’m perfectly fine with that. KU should have to earn it after the last two years.

I think this is now a top 10 roster. Before the additions I would have said moreso top 20 range. The back-up big was a must. The roster to me makes sense, and feels properly built around Darryn Peterson. I also really love all the length this team has. Positional length across the board. Elmarko at 6’3’’ will be the shortest rotation player. Council and Dawson both appear to have major plus wingspans.

@wissox said in The portal.:

If I could get paid for each of the comments on this thread…Wondering if it’s safe to shut er down now? Is Bill done? Roster is set?

I don’t think the last addition will be meaningful if there is one but you never know I suppose.

Bill Self is BACK folks

Answering multiple questions here

Tre White should start at the four.

I have the starting line-up as DP, Elmarko, Council, White, Flory based on early practice reports. Dawson will play a lot whether he starts or not.

@HoraceZontal Yeah you have to space it out more than you would think. Checking the preview is a good way to see what it will look like when the post gets submitted.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Recruiting Notes:

I’d look for news about a big visiting soon

Ethan Taylor today unless you mean something else

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

@BShark so are we still down a starting wing then?

The starting line-up has been set for months

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

How excited should I be about Old King Kohl?

Bench piece. If he means Samis doesn’t have to play that’s a win imo

@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:

Eyes on Rosario. Lots of optimism there

Believe that he signed today.

Kohl

Returning to a bowl game is a must with how much has been invested into football

I’d take that

Camron McDowell is on a visit. CRIME HAWKS ARE BACK.

@dylans agree, holding is very important

I haven’t been able to keep up, thanks for the updates

@Kcmatt7 said in 2025 Baseball Season:

We should be thrilled they’re competitive at least. Future looks bright

They just can’t hit the damn ball

Sounds like the punting spot could be a real competition

@approxinfinity just not a fan. He is a real person though

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

Any of these guys still on our radar? https://www.si.com/college/kansas/basketball/five-players-bill-self-and-kansas-can-still-add-to-the-jayhawks-roster

Schulman as the author…woof

Posting for @approxinfinity and other Flory enjoyers

@rockchalkjayhawk Not KJ. Presumably Tre White can dribble a basketball, rebound, and is a threat to shoot.

So it was mostly a joke about KJ being terrible.

@dylans Misleading headline in a sense. The 28 million is from two national deals. Including the entire 5 year length of his New Balance deal and his Fanatics deal. None of that was from Duke.

@dylans Houston runs the big 12, they are what we used to be. Not sure why Bill has seemingly given up on trying to develop guys.

That said I think when the roster is done it will be preseason top 10.

Something else I am monitoring is team chemistry. Winning kind of solves everything there sometimes, but last year was a disaster on that front.

I don’t think this team is likely to win a title at all but you could argue they are getting better at every position from last year. Most spots are clear upgrades. Generational upgrades at the 1 and 4.

More than anything I am excited for the stylistic change. The last two seasons, by Bill’s choice it must be said, we have been limited by a core of players that simply did not fit together. The team should be a monster defensively if they buy in.

Oui oui
