Really i thought it was bama who would win. Was duke even in it?

I might have been thinking of someone else.

@crimsonblu22 said in 2026 Recruiting:

Did any hear Hawk talk last week when Hanni asked Coach about recruiting? Coach talked about a shooting drill that a recruit shot the highest score ever! Can’t remember his name though. Anyone?

If it's a current signee it has to be Luke Barnett. That kid has a strap.

Former KU target Caleb Holt commits to Arizona. Ouch! One lost in the stokes circus

Duke is reeling.

Cook to the Bengals. The Chiefs have to completely rebuild the secondary.

@approxinfinity said in Other Games 2025-2026:

If Flory goes to Duke my soul will vomit til it dry heaves

Duke people are saying his agent is actively shopping him, including to Duke...

Wherever he does end up, the rumor is over 3 milllion at this point.

What's your thoughts on Dawes from Utah as another potential within the conference? I think he's the perfect comp to what we want Tiller to become as far as Scoring/Rebounding. I think he's a really good fit potentially. While we are at it, Brown would be a terrific replacement for Peterson/Council. He's gonna average 20+ a game next season somewhere.

If Flory isn't here next season which is really hard to imagine or even say, Moustapha Thiam from within the conference would be my #1 Flory replacement. He's already been at 2 Big-12 teams so why not a 3rd LOL.
Massamba Diop obviously has already been posted as a possibility here, but we saw last week he's more Tiller than Flory from play style currently. Still, that's a really talented kid that could be effective here. Good to also note that both coaches could be fired soon at those schools so both are likely on the move anyway.

You probably already knew but word is Dawes is looking to transfer. Utah is heinous but he was a bright spot for them. Can shoot it, great rebounder. Perhaps not a great defender but it can be hard to figure that as Utah was just so bad as a team defensively.

Guard wise we would be small with this kid and TK but I really like Isaiah Johnson at Colorado.

Thiam would probably drive Bill (if he is here ) nuts. Diop and Sylla both interesting options.

There are tradeoffs to both. I don't see the fit with Punch if Flory is here as you're getting more or less the same player in ways. The defense would be stellar and currently Punch is the better offensive player as far as output but he's option 1 at TCU. I think Punch would have to play the 5 here to be effective within the offense.

Tiller's ceiling is higher and his developing inside/out game I think is worth betting on for another season. Would be hard to see a young talent go somewhere else and make the league. I don't think KU can afford to let that happen.

I am of the opinion that if Flory is wanting 4M he can have fun at Duke. I would rather keep him but at some point he isn't worth it.

I get what you are saying. Tiller has really frustrated me lately and he is so damn soft which I really worry about without Mel and Tre around. Overall if retaining Tiller and Flory can make sense financially it is what I prefer. Having familiarity and already playing together goes a long way.

@BShark

Punch is certainly on the radar if we lose Tiller I would think.

Without knowing the money both are asking for I would rather have Punch.

@BeddieKU23 They are scrappy. I wouldn't hate if we grabbed Punch out of the portal should he enter.

He is a good player but I think investing that much into corner is a bit of a fool's errand.

3 seed. Play Thursday night at 830 CT. TCU is likely opponent

Posting the bracket now that it is finalized

@crimsonblu22 No. Why did you think that?

Christian Braun was there!

Place erupted when they showed him on the board of course.

@crimsonblu22 said in KState Game:

@BShark I love Tre too

Yes I just got really excited during his speech ahahaha. The building went nuts for it.

I love Melvin

We own this state

Can't wait for Tamin Linsey to be done in college basketball. He is unwatchable. For a 'tough, gritty, hard-nosed defender'...he is a world-class flopper. It's exhausting to watch and unfathomable that he gets the calls he gets.

Meanwhile Darryn gets pulled and it's a foul on Darryn

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Chiefs offseason thread:

And i see that RB Joe Mixon was released. If he's healthy, i'd love to see him as a Chief.
Seems like there's a mystery behind his injuries though (sound familiar?).

He's not healthy from what I've read.
