I almost cannot believe that I am reading posts saying that Self bungled Frank Mason’s development. I would argue that Self’s development of Frank is among the most impressive examples of player development I have ever seen.

It couldn’t possibly be that coach favors the players who help us win games

Is anyone else here confused? During DaJuan’s tenure at KU we have landed a 5* PG in Elmarko Jackson, am extremely coveted portal PG in Remy Martin, and two additional coveted portal guards in Zeke Mayo and David Coit. Where exactly is the perception that we have been unable to recruit guards due to Self’s blind loyalty to DaJuan coming from?

I love reading “Bill Self only won the title because he had great players” on one thread and "Bill Self can’t recruit " on another

They have had the worst injury luck of any team in the NFL by far this season

I figured that some of us could use a break from the controversy about a technical foul being called on a technical foul. So here is a reminder of one of the greatest games of KU basketball history even though our fanbase rarely brings it up. Enjoy:

It does not matter whether some fans are happy with DeJuan or not. What matters is whether he plays well and helps us win games. He has done that for four years and will likely, as you pointed out, be able to play even better with a decent backup pg to gibe him some rest and some shooters and creators to take the burden of running the entire offense off his shoulders. Some people will not be happy because DeJuan will smartly play to his strengths and set up other people for shots instead of trying to score a lot himself, but like I said it doesn’t matter as long as he makes the team better.

Should be back to back! Well deserved, congrats Joel!

Back in the old days this would have been a good class to grab some 4-year program guys that we can develop patiently. Unfortunately there is no point in doing so anymore as they will transfer away

I suppose if we can only use players we know will be on the roster next year my guess at the starting lineup would be Harris, Elmarko Jackson, Nick Timberlake, KJ Adams, and Ernest Udeh. However, with Udeh’s foul problems he will only be on the floor 10 minutes a game, meaning a more common lineup will be Harris, Jackson, Timberlake, Marcus Adams, and KJ Adams. Of course, this lineup WILL change with the portal so the posts now are meaningless outside of having fun shooting the breeze. Maybe we won’t get our most desired targets, but we will get a couple players who will compete for starting roles.

What do we make of the TE transfer from Arizona? I see he has decent but not mind-blowing receiving stats. Does anyone know if he is a good blocker?

Is Jack Tanner any good? I read he only started 4 games at Tulsa last year

I see we added DeAndre Harper from SEMo St. The way I see it he can fit one of three categories.

1. He kicked so much ass at the D2 level that the staff thinks he can be a good player for us.

2. He was not that good but he has measurables, athleticism, and three years of eligibility left, making him a good project player.

3. He is not that good and doesn’t have that much potential either, but hell, we need a body.

Anyone have any insight as to which one he is?

What do we make of Rawls, the OSU safety commit?

@kuballin10 Is there a timestamp you want me to watch? I don’t have time to watch all 40 minutes.

What is the name of Landen’s poscast?

How many shot attempts did Frank Mason take and how many did Landen Lucas take?

After both Creighton and the slavers I think panic is reasonable. We now know this team does not win on the road

They have had the worst injury luck of any team in the NFL by far this season

Hmmm. Not great but I’m not too concerned yet. If this happens again I will hit the panic button but for now I will attribute it to a simple case of us missing bunnies and them raining threes.
