RE: For @RockchalkinTexas
I wasn’t expecting to well up in tears for someone I hadn’t personally met, but I did. I’ve been to four funerals of friends and family this year and was able to stay composed, but this hit me harder than expected. @RockChalkinTexas apparently holds a special place in my heart. I enjoy my bucketteers; don’t any of you dare leave!
Everyone stay safe and healthy as possible this holiday season!!!

RE: What is the worst that could happen?
Worst case scenario- KU in line for the number one overall seed, plays no games due to a pandemic. Leaving nothing but what if’s for all.

RE: Looks like Oubre should have stayed another year..
@BeddieKU23 Yes, Kelly should’ve stayed another year, but I’m still upset that Paul Pierce left early.

RE: DeSousa
I love that Bill Self is being blamed for tuning out a roster devoid of post talent and yet his team is playing the best basketball in the nation, undefeated, and ranked #2.
The warts will show, but Bill is doing a masterful job once again.

RE: Marcus Adams
Wow. Hope he figures life out quickly. He’s blowing a couple once in a lifetime opportunities.

RE: Chiefs
As a Chiefs fan, Mahomes is payback for watching other teams do that to our D for years.

Happy anniversary!
Just realized Buckets turned 10 years old last October!!! Thanks to all who have helped make this site entertaining!

RE: ISU Loss: The Good, The Bad, And The ... Positive
Win at all costs and the fans cry about not looking to the future. Sit Cliff and lose tonight with an eye on the future and fans cry. It’a a good thing KU basketball coach isn’t an elected position. The man has done nothing but win games at a historic rate. KU is 14-3 with a freshman and sophomore dominated line-up in what has been the hardest schedule in the nation. I’m estatic with the win loss record, but think there is much room for improvement in play. That’s what has me excited, KU will be better in March and even better next year.
If Bill manages to win the conference title this year it will be quite the feat with 8 teams in a 10 team conference having been ranked in the top 25. That means 8 teams have been rated in the top 7% of all college basketball. KU will have to earn this championship!

RE: Doke
5th year Ochai is more valuable than freshman Ochai will be. This team needs to figure its own problems out. There is no savior in waiting.

RE: Elmarko
I’m hearing that it’s impossible to give top effort with these minutes as a 20 year old… tell that to these point/combo guards - Sherron, Tyshawn, Frank Mason, Devonte Graham (38!), Devon Dotson
I love Harris, but I’m not sure why he can’t go all out 10-15% of the offensive plays to keep the other team on its heals a little more. If he can not, a more ideal situation would be similar minutes to 2007-8 Mario and RussRob played 30 each and flat got with it on both sides of the ball. —-if Elmarko could just give 10 lousy minutes of relief to Harris he should be able to get closer to peak efficiency. If Elmarko could manage 25-30 the stress of being the only ball handler would be off Harris’ shoulders. But we’ve seen that Elmarko is a work in progress and players are exceptionally impatient in this era.
We absolutely need Elmarko to play better going forward (this year and next if he’s here) to take pressure off of Harris.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark hypothetical - And what’s to stop a Kelvin Sampson from making contact anyway? Could be off putting or could be a deal of he’s the only one who wanted me bad enough to reach out. lol recruiting is weird these days.

RE: Elmarko
Can anyone guess KUs two McDonalds All-Americans on this year’s team? (No cheating!) Big clue - Crazy they have no depth with two Burger boys not starting!

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark What do you mean by “do not contact designation” ?

RE: Elmarko
@RockkChalkk If Dejuan starts hunting for shots this team will get real bad, real fast. Furphy, McCullar, KJ, Hunter - none can adequately handle the ball and none are good slashers/drivers. Elmarko and Harris are it for decent ball handlers. What I’d like to see isn’t Harris shooting more, but varying the pace more. Constantly walking the ball up the court is not good, push it even if all you do is pull it back out and wait for Hunter to get set. While Harris can’t carry a team he’s proven to be good enough to be a piece of a championship team like BJ Armstrong was for the Bulls. Bill just needs to do a better job recruiting around him - need a combo guard at the 2 (similiar to Arterio) or an 4 that isn’t an 5 and this season would look much different.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@Texas-Hawk-10 If you believe the PR machine. Fields has proven to be a bad qb and it seems the market reflects it.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft:
Fields to Pittsburgh for a conditional 2025 pick. Caleb come on down!
Crazy that the best they could get for Fields is a 4th round pick…if he plays 51% of the snaps. Fields is the projected backup to the “entrenched” Russel Wilson.

RE: Roy
@wissox Hasse’s injured wrist was poorly timed. One of my favorite teams.

Roy
What are your thoughts on why Roy Williams was able to win 3 championships at UNC and none at KU? Was/is it harder to get recruits? Has the seeding been unfavorable? Did he get better at coaching? Was the ACC significantly better than the Big12 as to better prepare teams?
Recently the Big12 has been much more competitive with 2 championships in 3 years and a 3rd possible this season. Did the level of competition drag KU down during the Williams era, was it his recruiting style (all his classes hinged on one player signing first) or is there some other underlying issue he was able to right on Chappell Hill?
It seems there are some roadblocks at Kansas that aren’t experienced at UNC, I’m just not sure what the biggest hurdle is.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@FarmerJayhawk Gotta wonder if the Chargers are snake bit or if it’s the players. Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are both studs, but always seemed injured, same on the defensive side of the ball.
At least one injury I can 100% pin on the staff is giving their starting quarterback an injection that accidentally punctured his lung and prematurely ended Tyrod’s time in LA.
