We’ll see what happens here but it seems like McNeeley’s camp wants guarantees we won’t give in terms of role. Like sorry bud if Furphy comes back and we land a stud wing in the portal you aren’t starting

9:55 pm time on TBS. Kind of brutal
8:55 central so that helps but still sheesh

Crazy parity this year. 2 seeds have more losses than any time I can remember

RE: Elmarko
@FarmerJayhawk said in Elmarko:
Elmarko should definitely come back. Learning for another year then stepping into the starting role later would be awesome for both sides
Guessing you’ve heard about all this as well since it’s been buzzing around for days (I really vetted it out before posting here). KJ’s dad (KJ and his dad love KU) has been a big part of this. Heard he has been talking to Elmarko’s mom about things.
I’m still a believer in the physical tools but he is raw and needs someone to teach him basketball skills. That can be tricky, some guys never get there. Philon is the opposite, he knows how to play very well. I think the idea of the Elmarko (JR)/Philon (SO) is pretty enticing.
Chalked it up to teenagers being typically indecisive lol. But it does make a lot of sense given the portal chatter has shifted more to the wings. Not to say they won’t go after a guard but building a more skilled and versatile lineup seems to be the play

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
I think it’s the right move. As a Bears fan, it’s been awful watching Fields take sack after sack and make all the wrong plays late in games. Something like half of his total turnovers are in the 4th quarter.

I prayed for moments like this brother. Go get me Peterson and a few portal pickups and I’m dancing on the moon.
Oh yeah. I have mixed feelings on Peterson given his redshirt decision but no doubt he’s very talented. The way to do it might be to go to 13 next season then back down to 12 in 25-26
I just view it as a Malik situation to try not to get too deep into it. I’m just glad it seems from the outside KJ is down to do what’s best for the program and Hunt.
That’s a good way to think about it. And honestly having the depth to go hard in practice every day is underrated. I think a good amount of our issues on execution is because our starters don’t see much competition in practice

Was Morningstar recruited over? I dont remember. I remember people bitching about him starting
No, he redshirt the national title season which would’ve been his sophomore season.

Fields to Pittsburgh for a conditional 2025 pick. Caleb come on down!

@nuleafjhawk said in Tourney hopes:
This won’t be a popular statement, but it’s my honest opinion. That we are a 4 seed is an abomination ro the game. There is no way we should be higher than a 13 seed.
This is an awful college basketball team.

KJ about to get Morningstar’d? Many people are saying

RE: Roy
Roy also recruited with one hand tied behind his back at KU. An extra guy here and there could’ve made a difference

Not sure about this premise who would we keep? We’re obligated to keep players aren’t we? Self just can’t yank a scholarship from Elmarko because he’s been a disappointment, right?
If it were something that we could decide whom to keep, would keep all of them. First half of the season muy bueno, 2nd half, mainly tied into injuries, no bueno. Still not our greatest team ever at full strength, but I’d be looking to add a piece so overwhelmed guys like Braun, Timberlake aren’t needed except for spare moments.
Well you would never hear that was the reason he would take his scholarship anyways they would find another reason if Staff didn’t want him back. Scholarships are on a year by year bases Self wouldn’t have to keep him on Scholarship if there was conflict or many reasons they could find not to extend it for the following yr I think.
If you pull a kid’s scholarship simply because the player underperformed, that absolutely destroys a coaches reputation in recruiting. In those situations, coaches will always help a player find another school first which is what Self does. It’s easier now with the portal, but even if player finds out their scholarship isn’t being renewed, that message will get out and spread quickly as well.
In theory, if someone like Elmarko decided to return to KU, and never put his name in the portal, but his scholarship was not renewed, that’s a bad look. Also in theory, If Elmarko put his name in the portal and KU fills out their roster, and then Elmarko decided he’d rather return, then he’d be out of luck and it wouldn’t be a bad look for KU because everyone did things the proper way and Elmarko would be out of luck on returning which has happened before as well to other players waiting for offers they thought would come, but never did.
I agree completely, basically I was trying to say was that Scholi’s are year by year so ANYTHING COULD happen, but agree it would be a pretty bad look on the School’s part
P5 schools have 4 year scholarships and have for quite awhile.

So jacked to get Keenan Allen. All the sudden that’s a heck of a supporting cast for (likely) Caleb Williams.

RE: Liam McNeeley
A wing that can handle, shoot, and play the 4 is right up there with an elite scoring guard on the shopping list this year. I don’t have total clarity on whether McNeeley is that dude or they want more of a bench sniper role for him (my guess is the latter) but there are always various scenarios that will play out from now until the draft.
