@BShark said in Duke vs KU:
I'm pretty hopeful for the team after this one. Looked like a group figuring out how to play together still. And we have yet to see TKR.
ETA: Also Duke is extremely good.
Same. Duke is a lot closer to a finished product than we are.
I am pleased to report the old barn still has it

@Kcmatt7 fair points but you have to be good in FB and BB to be a successful AD at this level. Instead of spending a $300 million donation on competitive players it was blown on facilities for one sport.
Agree to disagree. A lot more nuance than that to it. Facilities are an important part of remaining competitive.
And the old one was literally falling apart. It’s not like all that was AD money either. We had opportunities with ARPA and other funds to make it pencil. Not like any of it could’ve gone to NIL anyway.
Not a lot to read into at halftime. We played almost exclusively junk lineups
Really fun game. Rushing for 5 bills is cool

Would KU have to cut 1 or 2 players to make room for both Council and Kaufman-Renn?
If both come in and play, does anyone else think Self is building a team to win rock fights this year and will be playing a lot of "bad ball" this season?
1 by my count. Atticus Richmond is about to be a very prestigious manager. If we roll out Mel Tre Stokes Dawes TKR that’s still 3 guys who can shoot 35%+ from 3. I think it’ll be a brand of bully ball. Crash the glass, run the break, maximize the number of possessions given the pace we usually run. Oh and they’ll absolutely guard the piss out of everyone

@TYOHawk The rules are all made up now. That said, I think Mel's case is very thin.
Enough to get the TRO LFG

Chatter is picking up on the Trey Kauffman-Renn front
Free-for-all!
May the best man (college hoops program) win.
This is why i don't believe any discussion about how KU has no money to spend...Trey No. 1 is back, Trey No. 2 in the grocery cart.
Does this guy play center or PF?
I’d wager a lot of these 5th year guys are taking decent discounts, as two way and exhibit 10 deals don’t pay all that much. Trey could play either, though likely more 5 here since Dawes is a better shooter.

If we are starting Kinney that's tough. He's got a lot to prove.
I'd like to see this combo
Blyden
White
Stokes
Dawes
MbiyaKohl, Kinney, Reeves, Parker, Adkins. An intriguing mix of depth. On paper its much better then we've had.
This is the way. Kinney has been inconsistent so far and that’s not how to get on Bill’s good side.
Yeah those numbers aren’t public. That’s why we get polls of what front office types think programs are spending and very few actual numbers reported.
And I’ll also add that it was a generational opportunity. ARPA, state, and city incentives all became available to make the project happen and redevelop the area to actually improve the university as a whole. Without those funding mechanisms the project doesn’t happen
@stoptheflop we spend more RevShare on basketball than any other Big 12 school, so there just isn’t the money available to get a $2m QB and acquire the talent required to compete in the league.
@kjayhawks2.0 the stadium had to be done, it was literally falling apart in some areas. Better to do it on our timeline before God forbid someone got hurt
Very funny for everyone who swore up and down Lance decided on Ballard 6 months ago. Zeke has potential to be very, very good. Cole is a great dude but he’s more of a game manager.
