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:

RE: 2024 Recruiting
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

RE: Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread
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.

RE: 2024 Recruiting
@FarmerJayhawk Those who believe strongly enough in the philosophical views of Fyodor Dostoyevsky could be said to “like adversity.” However, this all comes down to which specific emotions that one registers qualify as “liking” something.

RE: IARP update
Read a GEM of a comment on Rupp Rafters: "If this would have been UK, we would have been buried.
DEAD. AND. GONE."
Yeah, UK and coach Cal are completely clean. The NCAA definitely hasn’t been turning a blind eye to them or anything.

RE: Early Hearings TM
“Self loves (player X)” translation: (player X ) is a very good player and Self, because of his elevated understanding of basketball, recognizes this and chooses to play him accordingly.

RE: 2021 Transfer Talk/List
I would really like to see us go after Brandon Mahan from UCF. Just entered the portal and was a very efficient scorer last year.

Pretty terrible seeding throughout.

I think the problem is that it is ESPN+

Can Bryce Thompson shoot?
With Doke gone, our perimeter scoring will need to pick up the slack. Our 3 ball has got to be much better next year than it was last. I’m hoping Bryce Thompson can help out with that. If anyone happens to know or have any theories about how good a shooter he is please share!

Yesufu and Remy
I know this is probably stupid and is definitely a knee-jerk reaction to 1 game, but a little part of me wants Yesufu to start taking Remy’s minutes. I know Remy is probably the better player but it seems like we need Yesufu’s defense more than we need Remy’s offense. Thoughts? Am I as crazy as I feel?

RE: Furphy out for Friday's game vs Yale
@BeddieKU23 We play down to Yale-caliber opponents.

RE: Let's play ball guys /Kickoff
I’ll give the second half a B+. Hopefully Daniels and Grimm are okay.

RE: Arterio Morris
In general I’m in favor of second chances but a second chance at a place like Kansas was not what he deserved. With his baggage he needed to drop down to the mid-major level, pay his dues, play well, and keep his record clean for a year, then after that returning to elite college ball could be an option. Allowing him to play for us after the past he’s had sends the wrong message.

Doke and Garrett
I am surprised this hasn’t been brought up here yet, but both have been in walking boots and it is obvious that neither of them is playing at 100%. What are the odds that they play like their old selves come the tournament? And if they can’t, are our chances at a title dead?

RE: Some People will spew out anything, who actually believes this BS
On a somewhat related note, who is the QB of our future after Jalon leaves and does he suffer from injury issues?

RE: Coach Leipold
Does anyone have any leads on who the coordinators/assistant coaches will be?
-
RE: Sahvir Wheeler
To chime in on a positive note, it looks like a lot of his issues point to bad coaching. It makes sense, because Tom Crean is one of the worst coaches in CBB. Better decision making, better knowledge of the playbook, and a little more hesitation to just let the threes fly and he could be a very solid player.

RE: Can Bryce Thompson shoot?
I hope Tyon can shoot as well. I tried to look up his JUCO stats but couldn’t find them. Do any of you guys know what his offensive strengths are?

Schedule
Has anyone heard any whisperings of what our schedule will be like next season?

RE: KU 2010-2020 Decade Team
My starting 5 is: Frank Mason Sherron Collins Devonte Graham Thomas Robinson Udoka Azubuike My top bench options would be: Devon Dotson and Marcus Morris. I strongly debated switching Devon with either Devonte or Sherron and switching Marcus with TRob.
-
RE: KU 2010-2020 Decade Team
@BShark Ahhhh in that case put Devon in his place. Then I suppose Josh Jackson is the first guard off the bench. I would also put Perry Ellis as a key reserve. Very underrated for how good he was on both sides of the ball as a senior.

RE: Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread
The following my my guess of the rotation and minutes:
- Harris (32 mpg) / Morris (8)
- Morris (18 mpg) / Elmarko (11) / Timberlake (11)
- McCullar (23 mpg) / Timberlake (15) / Elmarko (2)
- KJ Adams (22 mpg) / Marcus Adams (9) / McCullar (9)
- Dickinson (32 mpg) / KJ Adams (8)
In games where we have foul trouble we will see Braun, McDowell, or Johnson get minutes as well.

RE: IARP update
I mean, I don’t think the NCAA can play God and change the past. Sure they can force us to censor the records but we know what happened in 2018. UK is now number 1 all time according to the censored records and we are number 1 according to what actually happened. Sure, I’m a little upset we aren’t number 1 in both anymore but I’d rather have the latter than the former.
-
RE: Anyone else feel this way?
I probably will never stop watching Kansas basketball. Maybe I won’t be as invested as I once was but I will always watch. One thing I will say is that it is a great disappointment knowing that neither Furphy, Elmarko, nor McDowell will be a Jayhawk next year as they will all either declare for the draft or transfer. It used to be fun to watch the freshmen and look forward to their futures with the program but that aspect of college basketball really doesn’t exist anymore.

RE: Furphy out for Friday's game vs Yale
If Timberlake gets too many minutes we could lose this one. Jamari and Jankovic need go step up

RE: Furphy out for Friday's game vs Yale
@Texas-Hawk-10 That would not be the sole reason but Timberlake is bad enough to cost us a game that we would have won otherwise
