Word on the street is that we are pining for a couple of Croatians.

Christ almighty. We had better have the funds to outbid NC State

Do they make nipple clamps for people with a third nipple? Asking for a friend…

@dylans But if you gave KU athletics enough recruiting money they might build you a statue.

@rockchalkjayhawk The only way he would do that is if KU found another million dollars. If any of you are billionaires maybe you could even things up

The longer this drags out the more Duke is going to slither into this recruitment

Embiid was never going to beat Florida that year. However, our 2019 team if Doke stays healthy and LaGerald doesn’t quit the team might be another final 4 or title as well.

@kuballin10 Williams to the NBA D-league. Sarr to Duke.

I seem to recall Bill Self saying he would advocate for Big Dave to have his jersey retired, given that he should have been the final four MOP.

Saw an article online today saying “Dame Sarr is turning into AJ Storr”. If we land him I sure hope that isn’t true. If someone else lands him, then fine.

@dylans This doesn’t even take our 2020 team which probably deserves a championship into account

@mayjay I wouldn’t blame Coach Cal for ignoring Kentucky’s problems in 2008 when he coached Memphis.

@dylans That is surprising given Roy’s uptempo style

@wissox Based on what I’ve read I believe smilin’ Ted Owens was a bad coach who was carried by Wilt for a couple years then exposed when he left.

Can someone enlighten me as to Vaughn’s coaching philosophy? I know he coached the Nets for a couple of seasons but have no idea what kind of ideology or expertise he brings to the table.

@FarmerJayhawk I think JUCO years dont count anymore.

@BShark I’d rather have the big French kid but its hard to sell a 3rd string spot

@TYOHawk He cooked Hunter yes

Universidad de Cancun’s Jose Hernandez is in the portal. Bill Self is putting in work

Mama Mia! We will have to make him an NIL offer he can’t refuse.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Its not impossible but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. I was just thinking the other day about the fact that Frank is arguably the 3rd best player in Kansas basketball history. We rarely have seasons of that caliber.

@approxinfinity I would be very surprised if he, or anyone else on the team, were as good a player as Frank Mason. Luckily, despite what the irrational DaJuan haters will tell you, you don’t have to be as good as Frank Mason to be a good player.

Its a shame LJ Arnold played his way out of a shot at the NFL last season.

@DCHawker Remind me to answer you when we have all our roster spots filled.

@RockkChalkk I think you can be suspended from the team if you violate the university code of ethics.

At least we just added LeRoy Harris III at DE. Is he any good?

I hope Darrion Williams likes having sex and drinking coffee enough to not pick BYU

That one Sam Houston State sharpshooter went to Indiana I think

I am rather tickled. Not quite as much as a peach but about as much as a tangerine I would say.

How many years does Council have left? It looks like he has only played D1 ball for two years.

@Woodrow ESPN is just going by who is on the roster now. But its not worth worrying about until after all the dominos have fallen.

Yes. It is very important that we are ranked preseason number 1. That always works out well for us.

Obviously this is the kind of talent you do not pass on, but how does he fit with Tre White. Can they coexist at the 3 and 4 together?

I would rather have a bruiser at the backup 5 for a change of pace. Flory and Tiller are already rim runners

I am hearing crickets about the Council and Lee visits

@BShark From what I have seen he has had season ending injuries 2 of his 4 years

As for Coward, looks like he is injury prone. I have no problem with taking a flyer on him but I hope he is not a projected starter

Sounds like a heacache eligibility wise

A defense with him at the 5, Flory at the 4, White at the 3, Darryn at the 2, and Council at the 1 would be a wet dream for Bill Self

Malique Ewin being a backup 5 seems to good to be true. I’m just hoping we get Phillips for some depth lol

@drgnslayr Of course. For example, DaJuan’s zone D against Arkansas was excellent and was a huge reason we came back in that game. He kept cutting off passing lanes, rendering Arkansas’ offense very stagnant, not to mention picking off their passes off of bad reads. If you learn to play zone D at that level it is way more effective than just playing the standard zone that all high school basketball players know.

Yeah but after watching the last couple years I think our players could benefit from practicing elementary basketball skills that they should have known from the get-go.

@TYOHawk I meant White and Dawson. But Calderon is another wing assuming he plays (knock on wood).

@TYOHawk We already signed two wings

@BShark I like Council as much as or more than Lee but would be happy with either and thrilled if we somehow got both.

Of course his numbers dip a bit in the big 12 but I would still love him to commit. I would envision him and Peterson working together as combo guards.

I am not worried about us recruiting him. We still have many more roster spots that we will fill. We will get a smaller guard, a couple wings, and a couple bigs yet. We just have to be a little patient.

@DCHawker Plus 6 rebounds a game at 6’4" is awesome. Says a lot about his hustle.

If you are using chat GPT your stats are almost certainly bogus

Melvin Council is supposed to be a good defender. The others I don’t know enough about to say.

We should just grab Melvin Council, Kyan Evans, Corbin Allen, Brandon Hausen, and a backup big or two. I think we have the money for that.
