Not so fun with the box score!

FGs

Tre White — a shocking 1-3

Melvin Council — a not so shocking 4-13

Elmarko Jackson — a pleasing 4-9

Box score invisibility

Bryson Tiller — did he even play?

Jayden Dawson — I thought in the summer he was an obvious starter. Maybe now losing playing time. He seems brain dead.

FTs

KU — 15-21

UConn — 6-8

That’s a winning formula. What the heck happened??

Starters played too many minutes and we didn’t rebound

@approxinfinity @drgnslayr @nuleafjhawk thats the issue it’s not about academics, tradition, hell id even argue it has much less to do with basketball. It’s about money and only money for most. I bet 90% of our roster would go elsewhere for more money tomorrow. AFH isn’t the problem, I was told by several people the atmosphere was top tier Tuesday evening. One of two things is going on either we aren’t good at evaluating talent and are paying the wrong guys. Or we don’t have NIL to compete with the UConn, Duke, UNC and several others. I’ve gone back and forth with which it is, Most likely a little of both. Let me ask ya’ll outside of the last few seasons, when has Kansas not had hands down the best roster in the conference? How about a top 5-10 roster in the Country? I’m not sure I can remember not having hands down the best team in the conference since its inception before 2024. Id trade our roster all day for Duke or UNC prob Houston or Arizona maybe BYU.

Need to lock the guards in the gym over Christmas break and do nothing but layups and 3s.

Let’s all try to be supportive of DP at this point. It sucks all around, @rcjhdraft I’d guess he’s outta the top 10 if the draft happened tomorrow. Most of the mock drafts haven’t been updated since play started. Wilson at UNC and Boozer look like better players at this point and several others are close. The article I showed on the old site that espn did last week didn’t list DP has a top 10 freshman right now and I agree. He has to play to be a top 10 freshman.

Just thinking about how sad the 17 in a row is vs KSU. Klein was a player when the he streak started, tried to make it as a pro, didn’t came back as a GA, then an assistant, then coordinator, then left and now is coming back as Head coach all before we have beat them.

Hopefully it will be a lesson learned for the front office and player personnel. We resigned old dudes on the defensive line because they were good here a few years ago, hoping they hadn’t fallen off at all. It was a silly move and backfired hardcore. The chiefs have had 1 yes one sack in the last 3 games with that old worn out line. They paid the wrong guys on defense and now have to live it.

Hello friends, I pulled a Jayballer and had to make a new account. Now Kjayhawks2.0 the same only slightly better haha.

Looks like we are 1.5 point dogs tomorrow which to me say DP isn’t playing

Who was the guy that posted all the pictures and info of the team we were playing that day? I liked those

Switching 5 works a lot better with athleticism at the 4 and 5

Volleyball team won their opening contest in the NCAA by sweeping High point 3-0

@FarmerJayhawk thanks I wasn’t sure if the LOI meant anything anymore.

I know this is the portal thread but what does signing day actually mean in 2025. I mean can’t the players still get better offers and go elsewhere before the season even starts.

@approxinfinity reminds me of the America I grew up in

Peterson is my hawk to rock for Sunday. DP returns and drops 35 points as the Jayhawks coast to an easy victory. Council implements a jump stop and makes 75% of his shots at the hoop while Tiller regains form from distance hitting 3 treys on tiggers. Bill Self has jokes at the press conference about last seasons loss in Columbia, that the smell didn’t bother the team it was the burning of their eyes effecting the game in that cage they call a gym.

@kjayhawks2.0 I’m calling “fan fiction “ on this one.

Kyrie Irving — 11 games → #1 pick
Darius Garland — 5 games → #5 pic

What will cost him millions is if he comes back before he is ready.

Valid but DP hasn’t played a full game

@drgnslayr said in Darryn Peterson:

There is some really dark ideas going around... like he has eligibility issues. Or others saying he won't return. This all needs to stop...and let this play out.

I still have confidence in his return and this is all a legitimate concern about his health.

I keep hearing his camp is the hold, Self thought he would play last night and his group is saying let’s wait and see. If that’s the case his group is going to end up costing him millions.

I know ESPN makes it a point to show Hurley freaking out on the sideline between every play but it's absolutely 100% cringe to watch his behavior. It just looks so classless and isn't a good look. I guess ESPN was making it a thing to show his freak outs for some reason. I bet UConn fans don't even want to see it. You can't tell me this behavior doesn't impact how the refs call the game.

Shades of seizure boy known as Bruce Weber, he’s still the only coach to contact an opposing player and not get a tech that I’ve ever seen.
