With him not being able to get the NIL money, can’t really blame the kid. It stinks for both him and us because I firmly believe he’s a top 5 pick next season if he stays. I hope it works out but so many good players end up in the G league and then over seas. I’ve always said this a bout the NBA-They will draft you off of potential, but give you little to no time to develop that potential. The G league has made vast improvements the last few years so hopefully that helps. If he has a good combine, he could sneak into the first round which would be huge. Crazy to think about a kid averaging single digits across the board being a OAD honestly.

Ben gets the benefit of doubt here, never seen or heard of anything like this from him

RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@BShark what is the latest on Hunter? I keep hearing Furphy is gone no matter the pick

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity definitely interesting but I think some of the same folks that rank HS kids rank the portal guys. To be honest they seem to have little accuracy or ability to judge talent.

RE: Other bball games
@AsadZ I would think at this point he is reevaluating quite a bit. I definitely get ticked at Self from time to time, as you said and he has openly stated mistakes himself. I get frustrated when people on here act like he’s perfect which no one is in any light. Bright side don’t believe any KU fans are sending death threats like the bluegrass goons. I really think changes to the staff especially conditioning practices are at the top of the list. I heard a couple of months ago Manning was coming back but the talk of it has quieted down. I think Vaughn and Manning need to come back with Vaughn being the coach in waiting probably won’t ever happen.

F*** Arterio Morris, go play basketball in pelican bay where you belong sumbag.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
I still think the infatuation with Tang is mostly false. I get Baylor wanting him if Drew left but total BS IMO if anyone else wanted him. Dudes been a HC for 2 years and won nothing in that time frame.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Me: builds a Time Machine and moves one chair in 2023. Nick Timberlake goes to UConn and Spencer comes to Kansas to win a title.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@benshawks08 yep like I said crazy money would be only reason
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
Not sure it would be anything but a side ways step for Hurley. The only way I could see him leaving is insane money. Supposedly they are ready to offer Drew 10 million a year.

RE: Other bball games
@nuleafjhawk Right that’s my deal we have more first weekend exits than they do missed tournaments. To me when we lose in the first or second round, it really doesn’t feel like we were in the tournament to begin with. To me NCs are worth a lot. Now if they lost last night I would be on the fence and before last season I’d definitely take ours over theirs. Think about it they have more NCs the last 25 years and than KU, Kentucky, Dook and UCLA Combined!! After this season I think you have to start adding them to a blue blood conversation.
-
RE: Other bball games
UConn is feast or Famine by all accounts. The last 25 years they have missed the tournament 9 times but have made 8 final fours and won 6 championships. I guess the question is would you rather have their resume or ours? I’d take theirs all day personally. We have 6 final fours and 2 titles in the same time frame in 9 more chances.

RE: Other bball games
Ended up just like I said you keep Edey honest and make him earn his, don’t let anyone else beat you. It’s the same story as usual it takes elite guards and superior coaching every march. Edey is the best Big in the country by a wide margin, UConn’s guards were light years better on both ends than Purdues.
-
RE: Other bball games
Crazy how much better Purdues conditioning is than ours. Edey has sub out for a total of 33 seconds the last two games. Our guys are exhausted after 31 minutes.
-
RE: Other bball games
Edey looks good and already getting calls, I just turned it off. Edey travels often and constantly throws elbows with zero whistles. I honestly don’t care who wins. If Im Uconn, I let Edey work for his but make sure no one else gets anything.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@Texas-Hawk-10 I see figured it had to something like that, their AD announced just over a week ago they were proud to have him back for next season.
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
I’m hearing Cals family was receiving death threats was a big factor in his leaving
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@Texas-Hawk-10 so how does that work? I’m not a legal guy at all but could they sue Arkansas and Cal for breach of contract? Maybe the clause is only under firing?

RE: Anyone know what Coach K did for Uncle Sam in the Army from 1969 to 1972?
@approxinfinity we getting after good and then he message me and we would laugh so hard at everyone thinking we were serious.

RE: UFL Football
@stoptheflop isn’t NFL switching to a similar kick off style? I feel like that phase of the game since they moved it forward is a touchback 95% time. Crazy to imagine games with out Hester and Hall making an impact back in the day
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
Just announced that Ayoka Lee for KSU was granted a 7th year of eligibility smh that’s ridiculous to me.
-
RE: Other bball games
My men’s bracket sucked but just won my women’s bracket at the wife’s work place with over 200 entries. 3 of 4 final four right, championship game and champion picked right ranked in the 99.8% on espn. So many less upsets it’s really much easier to pick.

RE: Other bball games
@kuballin10 @FarmerJayhawk Nate Oats is a douche on all fronts

RE: Other bball games
I read a nice article unfortunately I don’t have a link for y’all. It was an interview with Hurley asking him how he still gets max out of his players when most transfer when asked to be accountable. He said he is coaching harder and holding guys to much higher standard with their NIL package. Said basically they are getting good money to be playing there and if they don’t go hard they can leave. Really hope Bill gets back to that, I feel he’s been a little soft the last 2 years.

RE: New NIL tournament for next year
@Crimsonorblue22 Girl and daughter named her Lilo from lilo and stitch Disney movie. It was her 6th birthday gift. She is in the mouthing/chewing stages so it’s fun.
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
Very interesting Tang has announced that he is staying at KSU. My Arkansas guy says they want Brad Underwood or Andy Kennedy and never even got legs with Tang.

RE: New NIL tournament for next year
@nuleafjhawk my job is starting to piss me off as well lol. We have a new Golden Retriever puppy

RE: Elmarko
I see a lot of TT in Elmarko but with a better shot, he will be a great player in a few years if he puts in the work. His pull up game is already pretty salty, he just need to be aggressive.
-
RE: KJ Adams
I’m glad he is staying, him and Juan maybe the last 4-5 year guys that go thru our program. He needs to improve significantly shooting and rebounding or he needs to be coming off the bench and only playing 15 minutes a game. Can’t have guys with his skill set playing 30 plus minutes a game and be successful
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
The most disappointing thing if Zach stays is why we didn’t pull his RS. He was better than Parker as a true freshman(last season) vs Parker as a 5th year senior.
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
I feel like I here we are linked to 15 different dudes everyday at this point
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark any news on Roger’s from WSU? Think he’s better than both
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
I’m just not impressed everything I read or hear is he is a nut case and a thug last thing we need is another Morris
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Kugel is a done deal to Kansas is what I’m hearing, not pleased
-
RE: Props to Uconn
@BeddieKU23 Yes multiple people blowing and going on here that we beat them. They weren’t healthy in the slightest and still gave us all we wanted is the way I looked at it especially being at home. I’d much rather be in their position than ours. Who cares about a December game in March/April. If they can win the title this season I believe it’s 6 since 1999 that’s pretty elite.
-
RE: SO - Who Are You Rooting For?
@bskeet at this point I’m like anyone but Dook and UConn but pulling for NC state
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@nuleafjhawk I still have eligibility left not playing in college. My 35 year old knees are junk but just shot 80% from the line at the gym playing with the neighbor kid lol
-
RE: SO - Who Are You Rooting For?
I’m going for NC State, every year before the tournament I watch “Survive and Advance”
-
RE: Other bball games
The question is almost the same as last year at this time, can anyone play with UConn? Is Brad Underwood finally doing something in March
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kuballin10 it would be impossible to say Zeke is better than Juan at this point. If the staff thinks he can push Juan for minutes bring him in. Competition makes everyone better something that escapes this generation.
-
RE: Other bball games
@benshawks08 for sure and the women don’t change teams near as often at this point you look at Angel at LSU and Caitlin at Iowa. You could argue the women’s have more familiarity and stories other than a whole new team after a year or two.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@jayballer67 if he came here, he would likely be Juan’s back up IMO so unlikely he ends up here
-
RE: Other bball games
The tournament isn’t ever going down in sizzle and never will be hosed by the better seeds. It is a spectacle that generates a crap load of money. The networks want the upsets and attention from them. Love it or hate it everyone knows what the deal is.
