@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023/24 roster breakdown: Yeah, the portal and the covid year really helped get some age on the roster. It’s not even “old” yet IMO. If (and it’s a big IF) JD returns in 2024, I’m circling that as the BIG breakout year. That’s when most of the talent will be old dudes and you’ll have this pretty stellar HS class be able to contribute. Couldn’t agree more. Plus the way things look were in on some really good prospects- doesn’t mean get al of them , but I’ll tell yuo what I bet we end up getting our share. Plus the QB they got coming in from everything I’ve heard on him is he is REALLY good - nice t know pretty sure our QB spot is secure for a few years. Also heard McDuffie has really impressed the Coach’s on things he can do . Heard also people outside the program but from other Schools Coaching personnel - about how long KU is. - -I like the way the program is headed now - -we got ourselves a Coach - better hang onto him for some time

@Crimsonorblue22 said in KU Ladies tourney time: @jayballer67 gals are playing at home again, wed. I think. Oh ok , I wasn’t 100 % sure just going off the web site I had found - -thanks

@DanR said in Totally off sports but guys check it out: Well, apparently the Venus-Jupiter conjuction happens fairly often. Last in 2015 and next time in 2032. Still, new to me! huh I had no idea - - but glad I got to see this one

@approxinfinity said in OK so here is a question - something to think about.: @jayballer67 ha. I’m so far removed from golf sounding fun. Maybe later! gotta love it lol

https://bballnet.com/teams/houston Wish AP followed your logic as well.

Well whether we are in favor of the expansion or not , when it’s all said and done think it’s happening. - -the genral theme has been that in the end we will add the four corner schools. Arizona , Arizona St , Colorado & Utah. Talk is on most of the PAC 12 board that it’s a done deal that the PAC 12 will get picked apart , I know Arizona wants to join the big 12 pretty bada and soon - they want out , and the feel is that it will be a domino effect with others following. The Pac 12 is wanting to try and get San Diego State & SMU to join so they can add coverage in the Texas Market and the West Coast- - - they are in trouble though because they are trying to get their TV package together and nothing really left as ESPN not interested & Fox has Theirs --they mainly having to rely on streaming like with Amazon , pluto and others and say that’s not going to add eyes to the whole thing so the value will not help. Or the feel is and people saying now that the Big 12 has given Oklahoma & Texas the early out that just strangely familiar that by doing so Yormark wants the NEW Big 12 the jump and fits perfect to add expand and that would be the four corner Schools seems to be the popular belief. - – In the end it sur sound like the PAC 12 is done and there will be expansion in the Big 12

Just more updates on what I have been reading from different sites this week. - - # 1 - - Pac 12 Schools are staying in constant weekly talks with the Big 12. - The two prominent one’s being most mentioned right now are Arizona - - & Colorado… The feeling is that by next week possibly Pac 12 be holding meetings , probably will have some kind of Media deal. Most believe that IT WILL fall short of what the Big 1 media deal is. Some think maybe ESPN MIGHT be tied in some way but then also see where ESPN is no where close to any deals with the PAC 12. - Apr 15th is a date that is being thrown out where the Pac 12 more likely then not decides - -do wwe Solidify the Conference OR are we done & Schools start leaving and looking else where. It’s starting t become more widely talked about now - School presidents have been talking - - School AD are starting to discuss the expansion - -and even now Coach’s are strating to talk opening about it The article stated that - -Coach KU COACH BILL SELF - - -said that ARIZONA is a School the Big 12 needs to get’ The Article also stated that K/STATE COACH TANG- --stated the 4 corner Schools ( Arizona , Arizona State , Colorado , & Utah are Natural fits for the Big 12. I think by the End of April things will really become more clear on this from the way things sound.

One thing standing out. - - -Texas doesn’t leave the State of Texas but twice = =OH & - -good old Oklahoma has to travel to Provo lmao

@wissox So we should cut the cheese?

@jayballer67 anytime my dude!

@kuballin10 said in Coach Self talking remainder of Jan: @jayballer67 let’s see how tough we are and what this team is made of. I’d roll with the squad any night and they never quit or ever think they won’t win. Championship attitude spilled over to this season with jalen, Juan and kj. I know it’s not looking good but book it Gradey is back next year playing the jwill or och role shooting 15 times a game. ya were gonna find out real quick. I think maybe it’s me just wearing my Crimson & Blue glasses but I think were gonna be ok. I just think K/State is a little full of themselves a little to quick , YES they are doing really well and I know that place will be insane Tuesday - I just think their gonna be dealt reality - - not quite there yet. It might sound crazy but I’m not NEARLY concerned about our 5 as I was. KJ is just so athletic incredibly strong , can defend really well almost all 5 positions. I think yes KJ might be some liability on the defensive end, but he can cause problems on the other end too - -we shal see Iowa State ?- -were gonna have to strap it up - they are really good defensively , this league is just a monster - -no gimme’s Watching TCu - -Texas last night and just thinking Dam this league is just a real meat grinder. TCU hda a 18 point lead - -they look pretty dam good even though they wasted their lead away - -they look aggressive/quick - -Texas showed mojo. - -Every time out gonna nbe a war
