@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Tyson isn’t coming to KU. Other than that, who knows!

Only other thing I know right now is Udeh isn’t decided EITHER way.

Dang, that’s sad to hear. We are not gonna find a Hunter in the portal every year. Development is huge for bigs. And there’s something to be said about team chemistry. Guys need time to adjust to each other. Stick around, Ernest!

With so much player movement in the NBA, i wanted an easy place to remind myself who’s where! So, a list of former Jayhawks in the NBA (some who left for other schools). Please add any i missed!

SG Svi Mykhailiuk – New York Knicks

SG Quentin Grimes – New York Knicks

SG Kelly Oubre Jr – Charlotte Hornets

G Christian Braun – Denver Nuggets

SG Josh Jackson – Toronto Raptors

PG Marcus Garrett – Miami Heat

PG Devonte Graham – New Orleans Pelicans

PF Markieff Morris – Brooklyn Nets

C Joel Embiid – Philadelphia 76ers

F Ochai Agbaji – Utah Jazz

C Udoka Azubuike – Utah Jazz

SF Marcus Morris – Los Angeles Clippers

PG Devon Dotson – Washington Wizards

SF Andrew Wiggins – Golden State Warriors

How’s this for synchronicity:

Ochai and Gradey each had 22 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

Ha, i remember the posts with pictures of our opponent’s campus and surrounding city. those were good ones!

Hi, all. Glad to have a place to chat about the Jayhawks.

Joined many moons ago but haven’t been active in awhile (and spaced on my user name!) thanks to Beddie for that breakdown. Spot on.

I’ll add a few tidbits…

Pretty happy to have hoops back! Everybody looked good last night.

Och looks fit. Hope he has a great year and expands his game a bit off the dribble.

The new guys: Will be very exciting to watch the new guards. Should be a fun crew.

Remy is full of swagger. Will be interesting to see how that goes over with teammates in good times and bad.

Yesu looked off. Hoping it was nerves as suggested above. He got up though!

Adams. I think I’m gonna like him.

I actually thought Clemence was more solidly built than I expected. Concerns about his quickness levels off the bat though. I thought it would be the opposite.

Pettiford!!! Solid play from a young guy.

Slight concern that all our littles seem kinda little??? Remy, Petti, Yesu, Harris. A few have solid builds of course, but hoping height not an issue vs bigger opponents.

The sad part is that nothing the NCAA nor IARP does makes any sense. So, who knows how Kansas will be punished, and when.

@Gorilla72 said in THANK YOU, JAYHAWKS:

@Jethro - thought I’d saw, too, that KU has had 34 years consecutive years of NCAA tourney bids. Never below an 8 seed, meaning they’ve always played a lower seed during this time. Unbelievable! #JayhawkCrazy!

And it should be more than 34 years! Ridiculous NCAA penalty in the Larry Brown kept us out a year, right?

@drgnslayr I’ve been trying to tell ya for months now that Remy’s gonna help Nobody believed me That or I guessed on the correct side of 50-50!

I think that lineup is close, but maybe more like this:

PG Furphy

SG Furphy

SF Furphy

PF Furphy

C Furphy

@BShark said in Early season feedback on kuballin’s off season analysis:

I’m annoyed with Bill, not our performance. I’m just a dummy and I’ll get over it lol.

Do you think it’s possible his act is growing tiresome after all these years? Have we all overdosed? Time for a new regime, or is that blasphemous?

The winning is nice

i missed the analysis. @BShark not happy with last night’s performance? What bits and pieces have you worried?

I stated earlier that we’re not getting Griffen and Storr involved in any good way.

Some things of worry, but it was a worthy opponent.

Tough opponent tonight I thought. Good size. That big guy was making it tough for Hunter to get good position.

Self hasn’t quite figured out how to use Griffen and Storr. In particular we can’t seem to set a good screen for Griffen to get open for a quality 3 pt attempt sometimes. And Storr really has no clue about good shot selection.

Harris did an amazing job keeping their leading scorer at bay.

Wow wow wow. That was the best first half I may have ever seen the US play! Awesome. So refined in their passing. Exciting.

They had a very odd formation. They started in the 4-2-3-1, but it ended up a blob all in the middle of the field. Even Jedi was playing inside! So weird.

For those of you in the know… Riley Kugel, who was way hyped and about to transfer to KU over the summer, has started just one game so far for Mississippi State. Averaging 7.8 pts per game.

I am hoping in the not too distant future that Mahomes and Worthy can find a way to connect better on those wide open deep passes.

They seem to be there. There’s evidence so far this season he can get open deep. Seems like Mahomes can’t put the ball in the right spot, or Worthy gets tangled up.

USA faces Jamaica tonight in the return leg of Nations league play.

The first game was pretty dull. The pitch was godawful. Oh, and Pepi got the start up top.

Dang, there goes a perfect season. Oh well. Lots of blame to go around. But, the Bills are on a roll now, too.

The Dolphins legacy lives on.

Like I’m 100x more annoyed with him not developing a functional jumper in 4 years than I am with his rebounding stats. Guy is probably a pro if he can hit a corner 3 at a decent clip.

I’ve been avoiding joining the KJ conversation. It’s kinda like Harris discussions. He is what he is, and has been.

Self loves KJ basically because he can switch on defense. That’s really it. A pro? Hmmm.

Yea the NBA hates guys who can guard 5 positions and knows their role.

Well, i’m no NBA scout. But he really doesn’t have any other basketball skills worthy of a pro. You posted above that IF he had a corner jumper he PROBABLY is a pro.

But he doesn’t have a corner jump or any jumper really.

Are you changing your argument?
