Adidas bag man please. We would have two future top 5 picks with stokes and DP

Hopefully Bill realizes that him with DP is a better base than any new hire coming in fresh

I will say Scheyer basically cleared out the entire duke roster outside of proctor and that totally paid off. But I have very little faith in bill to build a coherent roster at the moment.

@Texas-Hawk-10 OK shows my knowledge of teams but who is Josh Dix ?-- What School ?- -is he a Big or Guard or what ?- -Thanks

Guard/Wing that played 3 years at Iowa. Great shooter, seems like a passable defender. Would be a nice fit next to DP to space the floor

@kjayhawks He was so awful. Starting a point guard who can’t reliably shoot a pull-up off of a screen is brutal for the offense

@rcjhdraft pretty much is the consensus on X no heart, no energy, no loyalty and no athleticism in regards to our team this season

Somehow this game has made me even more mad about this season. I have zero love for any of the seniors

Ya I’m pissed because of our seniors couldn’t make a simple pass we are playing right now. Prob don’t win without KJ but still Juan, Hunter and Zeke have turned the ball over repeatedly with the game on the line. That’s unacceptable for guys with their experience level.

Just unreal that we watched 4 seasons of a guy who can’t penetrate the paint and by the end of his career, could barely defend point of attack(the one thing he was supposed to be good at)

It’s embarrassing how much more athletic these teams are compared to this year’s squad

These seniors blew a very possible sweet 16 path

Right on paper we are much better shooting team than Arkansas and we match up well with St John’s who doesn’t guard the line well.

It was a very generous path, especially considering the likely sweet 16 matchup would’ve been Tech who’s beatable. But of course the team had to let the fanbase down one last time

These seniors blew a very possible sweet 16 path

Should’ve never brought hunter back into the game

Malik Reneau

Of course bill wants a limited post up big he just can’t help himself

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Early Hearings TM:

@BShark some retirements?

One of those, the other is going to be interesting if it happens…could be a firing but I’m sure that would rather be avoided officially.

So we are probably looking at replacing 1-2 assistants, and creating a “general manager” position.

Need to get rid of some of the yes man on the bench

I like the big 12 tourney draw. Finals run feels doable

Bill taking it seriously would feel like a first. If ever there was a year to do so though…

Team desperately needs positive momentum and good seeding. Avoiding Houston and BYU is a win

I like the big 12 tourney draw. Finals run feels doable

my prerequisite is that they have to shoot the ball but sure

@TYOHawk I guess Tyshawn got on X and told him to toughen up. Seems like a lot of former players are calling out the Charmin softies

Frank criticized the leadership on Twitter on Saturday. Devon had a vague tweet today as well. Safe to say the former guys aren’t happy

Probably sick that they couldn’t legally make money while dajuan is earning 6 figures to put up this slop

I’ve NEVER seen a KU team so careless with the ball

Oldest team in college basketball

@bskeet said in Lets go 3-0 on the new season:

DeJuan lost the Houston game by missing 2 free throws with 17 seconds left and a SIX point lead.

Today he had nearly as many turnovers as points.

Some unforgivable effort on the turnovers. Barely running back to defend. Horrendous

KJ played the best game he could possibly played and we lost because the guard group is horrible

@bskeet said in Lets go 3-0 on the new season:

I guess this is the poorest executing team I’ve seen Self put on the floor.

Hilarious given the fact that they’re the oldest team in college basketball

@wissox said in Peterson:

Embiid, Wiggins left college with a 2nd round exit in the tourney, of course Joel was hurt, but we lost a lot of games that year with them. Josh Jackson played on a more complete team with us I think and we made it to the sweet 16.

TBH honest I don’t care if he’s the face of the program for the next decade in the NBA. Does nothing for us.

The only way I’ll really be impressed if the young man is good enough to lead us to a championship. Maybe he is. Can Self build around him well enough? IDK.

yeah man I totally disagree. Him being successful in the program is huge for future recruits and for public perception. Coaches can point to him as a success story for going to kansas, like how they’ve used Embiid for all of the bigs recruiting for the last 10 years. Guys like Jalen Wilson and CB are totally fine NBA players but they aren’t needle movers like darryn might be.

@BeddieKU23 said in Peterson:

I’m really looking forward to seeing how good he can be next year.

Recruiting will see benefits in future classes because of him.

I don’t think some of the fans realize how good he’s gonna be. Next year’s class is LOADED and he’s at the top. We’re talking about a guy who might be the best guard prospect in the draft since Luka Doncic. The fact that he’s putting up 7 assists along with 30 points is insane.

@wissox said in Peterson:

That’s all well and good, but when he doesn’t lead us to a national championship and bolts for big bucks I’ll just yawn. Maybe it will be fun but I’d much rather know the next Jalen Wilson or Devonte Graham of TRob was coming! Maybe they are coming too.

This program desperately needs Peterson. We’ve been stuck with senior holdovers for the last 2 seasons and they’ve been incredibly underwhelming. Peterson has the potential to be the best guard in college basketball and the best guard in the nba, and he’ll probably be the face of the program in the NBA since Embiid is cycling out his career. You need upper echelon talent to survive

Self mailed in the game starting 3 bigs. That was a new low for him

It’s looking like 2 straight seasons of Self mailing it in after it looks like the team doesn’t have it. Pretty embarrassing given his wage.

What about the players “wage”? GTFO! Self at least has earned his over YEARS of work and success. He’s proven he cares. These kids have proven NOTHING.

Not sure why we can’t maintain some sort of standard for him. Love him for his legendary tenure, but these last few seasons have been a disaster and he’s the main architect for this roster with a top 5 NIL budget in the sport. He said he was thinking about the roster for this season for the majority of last season and ended up putting out the same main parts and added complimentary transfers versus making an actual change and doubling down on archaic basketball principles.

I will be pleasantly surprised if this team makes it to the second round. Honestly hilarious that the metrics love this team so much

Only solace is that we get closer and closer to senior day and wishing good riddance to a majority of the team

Brutal diggy turnover and loses his man on defense

@SlimShaddy54 I’m confident that Peterson can step in and replace hunter’s production

Oats hoops would shock the boomer part of the fanbase down to its core. I’d be pretty happy with it though

@KirkIsMyHinrich His talent ID is concerning at this point. Taking these transfers over someone like McNeeley does not fill me with enthusiasm for next season. And the guard group is just awful. I mean they got absolutely destroyed by Rob Wright

@SlimShaddy54 Shak’s energy is really useful but having lineups with one floor spacer is just awful for offense, especially with KJ who’s absolutely zero threat to shoot. At least flory provides rim gravity and smart passing, KJ really doesn’t provide anything other than intensity.

We keep getting slapped in the face with proof that certain players don’t work in the rotation and he keeps riding them. It is what it is

@kjayhawks Making it to the second round is basically an average dajuan season at this point

All these senior guards and none of them can get into the paint and draw a foul

Incredible moment when Fran was waxing poetic about Juan only for him to totally blow it

@approxinfinity Dajuan probably should’ve inbounded

Dajuan just has to make one free throw and we’re all going home happy.

I’'ll be popping bottles when these seniors graduate. Please don’t give any of these guys a fifth year

Dajuan stinks

Looking like 3 seasons of Bill coddling KJ and dajuan and three seasons of second round exits. Thankfully next season we’ll have the top 5 pick echelon level of talent that we haven’t seen in years and hopefully Bill remembers that spacing is important.

@SlimShaddy54 Storr was not great but I feel that’s more on self. Storr was a known gunner coming out of the portal and self has given him zero leeway and let guys like Kj and Dajuan chuck up shots and pout on the court.

@rockchalkjayhawk Has too much of an emotional attachment to certain players

@kjayhawks Turned down a deadeye shooter in Liam mcneeley for his “Portal Guys”

@kjayhawks said in Muck Fizzou:

@rcjhdraft it old news that KJ stinks against size. He always has and always will. Same could be said for Juan. They are Bigger, Faster and stronger at almost every position out there. It’s really detrimental for this group.

Pissed away 3 seasons riding with these guys

Maybe Bill will finally have a come to Jesus moment regarding KJ after today’s game. I doubt it but it’s nice to dream about

Guys play too scared when they come in because of bill’s godawful rotations

Unserious team and unserious lineups
