Just curious, but has Philon officially been granted his release from the LOI?
Maybe I missed it. Is Jordan Quintance on the KU radar? He’s only 16 (?) so he had 2 years NCAA ball at a minimum. 6’9” 4 or 5. He was committed to Kentucky. 5*
@BeddieKU23 - Roach is the guy Hunter Dickinson was “recruiting” via X. HD posted a picture under his name and stated “Jayhawk”. Was Roach contacted byKU?
@mayjay - I’m of the opinion most FedEx trucks are lost which is why you see them driving around so much. Timely deliveries aren’t their forte in my experience.
“ FedEx has announced a massive $25 million name, image and likeness investment in Memphis athletics that will fund $5 million in NIL contracts over each of the next five years in key sports while promoting the company. The deal is believed to be the biggest corporate NIL partnership of its type in college athletics.” Coupled with other NIL funds, Memphis is now a bigger player.
Also, “On Thursday, safety Akili Hubbard entered the portal and on Friday defensive end Davion Westmoreland and running back Red Martel went into the portal, sources tell 247Sports.” Is there that much depth at these positions? I know RB is good.
Red Martel, freshman RB entering the portal? He’s been there 3 months.
@jayballer67 - 9 hours ago, Kugel reposted Bossi’s Tweet about Storr commiting. Lots of KU stuff on his X account.
@rcjhdraft - I was in reference to preseason when Morris, Adam’s et al, filled the rooster before anyone started leaving (or practicing).
FWIW - I’m just gonna hit the brakes here. KU had a great team on paper coming in last year and then the wheels fell off. Players left early for various reasons. I’m pumped for the upcoming season but I’m going to wait to see if any of these guys leave without playing at KU. Already rumors of a HS commit looking elsewhere. Hoping for the best but there’s only on ball on the court.
So Furph declared for the draft while maintaining his college eligibility. Said some very nice things about KU. I can’t link via the apps.
@TYOHawk - So I wonder who Harris was talking with last night?
Apparently Storr’s girl friend at Wisconsin has transferred to the KU women’s basketball program.
But UK is THE dream job. Their fans must be beside themselves.
Have the rules changed? It used to be when you hired an agent, you had to stay in the draft.
@patoh3 -“The Other Site”, quite likely 247. There are others.
I haven’t heard even one of y’all “fans” offer to marry Furphy so he can get his green card and and be paid
Excellent idea! There are some big bucks waiting. I’m already married though…
@dylans - I’m aware of that. Just saying Kansas was well and truly screwed but he is now free to attend another school and may do well. I wonder what their fans will say. I don’t know if he is truly guilty or not. It’s now played out and he has no charges against him.
Maybe NLI can get Furphy big bucks when KU plays out of the country! HA!
@Texas-Hawk-10 - Yes it can be interpreted in many ways. Most on here considered him guilty.
@benshawks08 said in Arterio Morris:
@Gorilla72 could be interpreted but definitely does not MEAN innocent.
I understand and agree. Although, I wonder if he’ll show back up in Div 1 somewhere now. Good player some coach might take a flyer on.
Read a couple of articles today saying Furphy may drop to early 2nd round and McCullar to late first. Furphy dropped because of his late season woes and McCullar due to injury.
Hawks could have used him last year and now to hear he wouldn’t have been charged. Insufficient evidence can be interpreted as “innocent”.
I’m all in for the beer idea. KU fans too, should always have free .
I’m seeing moving screens by UConn. Sometimes a straight shove.
Newton of UConn has defensive philosophy of hack, grab, pull & shove. 1 foul.
Per Sidelines-Arkansas X account “Arkansas now has 0 scholarship players on the roster and 1 incoming Freshman.” Lots of playing time available.
I’ve heard rumors the Iowa State coach Otzelnerger might be in the mix for KY, ARK or any other openings that might come up. It’s like a game of dominoes though…
@jayballer67 - if so, where he ends up will be telling. New team must have big bucks.
@Texas-Hawk-10 - one more over the next two seasons, IIRC.
Is it likely HCBS is recruiting these transfers to force decisions? If current players go for the tryouts, does he have to keep a spot open for possible return?
@nuleafjhawk - What a deal! Do you do your own laundry too?
IIRC, many of the stay/go announcements come after Self meets with players. Seems like announcements come around the time of the annual banquet. Is there a date set for that event?
@Crimsonorblue22 - T looks like 3.3 pts/2 rebounds on 5.3 min/ game.
@drgnslayr said in Other bball games:
I constantly harped on David McCormick’s lack of footwork.
Watch a much bigger guy with great footwork to know what I was talking about… NC State’s DJ Burns.
It’s like he’s dancing on tiptoes out there!
IMO, Burns is an excellent passer also. I haven’t see him dunk, though.
@rockchalkjayhawk - another issue is both drivers ran from the scene. I believe Texas law says you have to “render aid”. Running speaks to character. But - maybe Rice wasn’t driving or even there. I’ll wait for the police report.
Perhaps Kugel should see if he can get to a pro tryout and get feedback. Seems to have worked well for other KU players. He’ll hopefully come back with a purpose.
When is the team dinner? When are the year end “exit meetings”? Next couple of weeks I’d guess.
@BShark - Agree. Saw a comment on X, “averaging 16 on and off the court”. Hard pass!
I’ll pull for NC State, a Cinderella team.
Filipowski constantly lowering his shoulder and driving to get the foul. Lord, I dislike Duke.
IIRC, Walt played Wilt’s character in a biographical movie?
@jayballer67 - My point is that coaches are teaching this sort of defense. Not blaming the refs at all.
IMHO, schools are teaching a defensive plan of “hack, grab and push” because refs can’t (or won’t) call all of them fouls. Witnes the first half of the last Houston game with over 20 fouls then not many in the second half. Also, the crud that HD had to put up with inside. The players are good enough to play better defense without all the major physicality. It takes away from the game for me. I know KU does some of it but not like what I saw with Houston, BYU, etc.
