RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity IMO I always believed athleticism manifested itself via a combination of explosion, jumping ability and speed and dajuan has never really showcased that(always plays slow and doesn’t finish great near the rim). His gifts manifest themselves via finding the open man and playing good defense. With all the scorers that we’ve gotten this offseason he just needs to keep hitting the open man.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@jayballer67 I mean it’s a fact dajuan isn’t very athletic. Doesn’t take away from the fact that he knows and plays his role

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@TYOHawk College coaches always value experience so we’ve ended up with this terrible product of 25 year olds still playing while freshman have to transfer since they’ll know they’ll get played over and recruited over. It’s terrible at that point some players gotta give up basketball.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Can’t wait for these covid seniors to finally be done

RE: Transfer Rumblings
He’ll just quietly enroll and we’ll only know he committed once we see his name in the first starting lineup graphic
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Gorilla72 I do feel like the majority of us last season thought we barely had any shooting on the team
-
RE: Furphy
@BeddieKU23 It really is incredible that we picked this guy up in the middle of the summer and he’s probably going to become a top 20 draft pick
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Kind of feels like we were the last ones standing on Storr so we can get him at a more reasonable NIL deal
-
RE: Recruiting Notes
@BShark oh was talking about Acuff visiting in march lol but true that
-
RE: Recruiting Notes
@BShark two visits in a pretty close time span is interesting

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@DanR Hope Will Wade goes p5 again and has some success. Would love another elite bagman after self
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@Jhawk69 him and KJ are the same player except mark is longer. Not a fit
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity Honestly kind of fascinating given that Spencer was the one who played in a power conference
-
RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah Jayden quaintance dad said they’re rocking with cal earlier and he’s the only guy we care about in that class
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Hope a potential zeke add wouldn’t eliminate adding Liam
-
RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@BeddieKU23 rather have kwame Evans as a high ceiling PF option if he enters the portal
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
If the staff wants another guard I’d be happy with someone like haggerty
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@Woodrow On the court his performance was terrible. Huge regression from the end of his freshman season while he committed 2 turnovers playing only 23 minutes. That said he’s got a NBA tool kit

Riley Kugel a name to watch for Kansas. Rumblings Bill taking a trip to see him tomorrow.
Like this type of flyer. Bad this season but nba talent is there

RE: Transfer Rumblings
HD Garrison and Flory all on the roster at the same time would be interesting
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@TYOHawk All these Marquette guys able to drive in traffic while Elmarko stumbled around anytime he tried going into the paint

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Transfer Rumblings:
Blew Houston out
70% shooting isn’t exactly “sustainable” but you did list a quality opponent that we blew out so I’ll cede there

RE: 2025 Recruiting
https://twitter.com/TiptonEdits/status/1771265606504833076 made Jalen haralson’s top 10
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Been said ad nauseam throughout most of the fanbase but I won’t be excited if KJ is back in a major role. People will point at the success that the team had earlier in the season but our metrics were trash and we didn’t blow anyone out
-
RE: Elmarko
@FarmerJayhawk said in Elmarko:
Heard earlier it was more likely than not he’d be back but teenagers are notoriously consistent with their decision making
It’s going to be a bumpy road. This was a very recent shift and I felt confident enough to call it a prediction but obviously things can change. AGAIN. lol
If the coaching staff was banking on Elmarko to replace mccullar over a transfer then this is for the better
-
RE: Zigging the Zags
Had one good point of attack defender after mccullar got injured
-
RE: Zigging the Zags
I’ll give some credit to Timberlake. Obviously not the close anyone wanted but he strung together some decent performances which is impressive given the largely godawful body of work that was provided for the majority of the season
-
RE: Zigging the Zags
Anything else was found money after the first round so can’t complain too much

RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@dylans said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:
Any KU guys expected to portal? Clemens, Jackson, and McDowell have been mentioned.
Clemence is definitely gone. Other two are more up in the air I believe since there was initially a ton of momentum on Elmarko leaving

@bskeet said in Other bball games:
Scott Drew to UK would not surprise me.
Not a chance in hell. Dan Hurley at UConn would likely be at the top of their list.
Hurley is only leaving for the NBA

RE: Danny Manning
@BShark said in Danny Manning:
He might be back on the bench for Kansas soon. Personally I would absolutely hate it, but I know some people think he’s actually a good coach or something.
Wanted to relay current scuttlebutt.
yeah gonna be honest I get the nostalgia and everything but his recent coaching history is so bad.
-
RE: Sams club game chat
Zags game opens at -3.5 zags. Was expecting a higher spread

RE: Recruiting Notes
@dylans said in Recruiting Notes:
I thought this was announced by Silver a month ago. Maybe it was just a rumor and I misremember the source.
Silver didn’t officially can it a month ago but he alluded to the ignite being a failure

RE: Sams club game chat
@kjayhawks said in Sams club game chat:
Now all we are gonna hear about is the one missed call.
Yeah fuck that noise when Samford got every call flopping around
-
RE: Sams club game chat
HD got my eternal respect for playing with his shoulder wrapped up like that
-
RE: Bracket chat
It’s whatever. It would feel worse if this team was expected to do anything in the tournament
-
RE: Bracket chat
@kjayhawks said in Bracket chat:
@patoh3 true, I just think it is a chicken sh** move all around. He don’t get picked first round for sure now and maybe not all.
Yeah he was projected outside of the first round in vecenie’s most recent mock. Really don’t get the concerns from mccullar’s camp regarding his stock. He’s been in college for 6 years his swing skill is the shot either he proves it in work outs or he doesn’t

RE: Liam McNeeley
@Gorilla72 said in Liam McNeeley:
@rcjhdraft - There have been a number of players who shot well the prior year but come to KU and …. don’t. No guarantees.
Need to keep taking chances on shooters despite potential fails like Timberlake. I believe in Liam’s body of work far more than I did Timberlakes but I also believe that Timberlake and furphy had to shoot with a ton of pressure since they were the only floor spacers on the entire roster.

@rcjhdraft said in Liam McNeeley:
Are we trying to dodge tampering accusations or something.
It’s weird, for sure.
It’s a very abrupt change of messaging from the confidence getting put out shortly after the commitment. I find it hard to believe we’d back off given the brutal shooting struggles we witnessed this season
