@FarmerJayhawk Isn’t he goint to be a walk-on for the basketball team?

In an ideal world, Flory comes back next season and Tiller is our backup 5, which would give him time to toughen up and develop before playing a more major role in the future.

@kuballin10 I agree. I would like to see us play 4 out with Storr and Griffen at the 3 and 4. KJ I would like so see get about 20 mpg off the bench. How many minutes do you think he deserves?

@kuballin10

Do you believe KJ should get any minutes of playing time?

@kuballin10

If that game happened it might have been in Hoch Auditorium and not Allen Fieldhouse

@approxinfinity Honestly I will second that to some extent. When he brings up DaJuan it just leads to an infinite loop where everyone wastes time debating something that is one-sided. But his points about the direction of our program and how we fare in the tournament definitely spark good conversation.

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

@kuballin10

It is well-documented? Interesting. Can you post some documentation here?

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?

@kuballin10 Well the comeback started prettj much immediately in the second half. So he played for most of the comeback and made some big plays during it.

@Kcmatt7 That team didn’t exist according to the NCAA

@kuballin10 DaJuan had a bad offensive game and a great defensive game against UNC. And he did not ride the bench in that game as you said earlier he did.

@kuballin10 We don’t have to go off of anyone’s memories. We have the box score. DaJuan played 27 minutes, got three steals, and played a big role in holding UNC’s backcourt to 1-13 from three.

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.

The takeaways here should be simple:

-Mayo, Coit, and Storr are bad

-The freshmen look like good pieces for the future

That’s it.

How will I remember to shop at the local Russell Stover Candies without the AFH scoreboard reminding me?

Oooooh some rewriting of history. Count me in!

Do you guys remember at the end of the 2016-17 Duke game in the Champions Classic? Instead of letting Frank Mason keep the ball for a game-winner, Bill Self forced us to feed Landen Lucas, so we ended up losing in OT.

Listen for free on the radio

Our defense deserves the same amount of heat as Grimes if not more so. Refusing to get a defensive stop on 3rd down and giving up 21 4th quarter points is a hell of a losing formula

Another 4th Q lead in a game we will lose.

@kjayhawks We always score a touchdown to start the second half. The problem is our offense stops after that

@wissox inevitable

@Gorilla72 Yes. The only “game” we didn’t was vs Lindenwood.

ASU is about to capitalize on our “give up a TD in the last minute of the first half” special

It really is amazing how many of our fans know basketball better than Bill Self

@jayballer67 The “DaJuan Harris sucks” crowd might be calling for Leipolds head as we speak

Everyone just be grateful for the two years of fun we had. It is over now. Time to restart the rebuild from scratch.

Giving up 15 points in 3 minutes is unacceptable and the defense deserves to be harshly criticized. I never meant to suggest otherwise. However, that does not exempt JD from criticism.

Close game at halftime. KSU runs away with it in the second half and wins 35-17

@Gorilla72 Yes. But Daniels missed too many open throws today. If not for that we probably blow WVU out

Well so much for that. Time to usher in a new qb

I want to see Cole Ballard start next week.

@kjayhawks Done and done

Jeff Grimes, despite making millions of dollars to call plays, lacks the wherewithal to understand that feeding a running back who is averaging 7 yards a carry is more efficient than throwing with a quarterback who is averaging 4 yards a pass (and an interception every 10 passes). This lack of basic sense cost us one game already. Obviously, he will not get fired because of one bad game. But what if he costs us our next couple matchups? Might he get the can?

I think now would be an appropriate time to ask. Does anybody have any insight into who will be our backup QB next year? Whoever it is could be the key to our season

I sealed the deal

Calling it now. Getting this guy as a 10th option is too good to be true so it will end up falling through

If anyone else here loves a good novel, Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is excellent. The tv mini series by the same name is very good and well-acted too. Then the novel Blood Meridian is very powerful though too dark for some people.

As for movies, I really like Unforgiven.

When it comes to shows, Longmire is great once you get into season two. The novels it is based on are also great.

I like to look up the box scores of preseason games to see if any rookies did well but I rarely ever watch the games

Olympics start on Saturday

Everyone but Frank choked in the ELAM ending. Colorado knew it and focused their defense just on stopping him

Mass St is moving on to the 3rd round!

Does anyone know if the game is available on the radio anywhere?

Does anyone know if today’s practice game is streaming anywhere?

Does the narrative that Bill refuses to play anyone but KJ at the 4 due to sheer stubborn loyalty just come from last season when there were literally no other options? Or is there inside info I’m missing?

Is he our first ever black walk-on?

I hate this. But its good to have options. SEC probably doesn’t think twice about us without Leipold

I think McDowell likely beats out Passmore for bench minutes unless Self wants to redshirt him.

So how would you fellows (and ladies) rank the following possible outcomes in terms of likelihood:

A. We add nobody else to the roster

B. We add Noah Shelby on scholarship

C. We add Noah Shelby as a walk-on

D. We add Jaxson Robinson

E. We add both Jaxson Robinson (scholarship) and Noah Shelby (walk-on)

F. We add someone else.

@BeddieKU23 I would much rather eat the scholarship penalty than have him on scholarship.
