@rockchalkjayhawk downsize downsize downsize! In the end i want the sum of my material belongings to be lighter than air, at least the ones no one else wants.

So funny you’d say that about downsizing! I’m in that mode now.

Sadly It all started after mom passed away. We started by donating a zillion boxes of her stuff to Goodwill. Then we decided to paint the inside of our house. You know how that turns into chaos with stuff everywhere in giant piles.

Time to downsize! We realized (or I did) that we had two massive bookshelves just collecting dust. GONE! The books and shelves. I read on a Kindle now anyway.

Anyway, a work in progress, but it’s a very good feeling to declutter, and to donate to those who need these things more than I do.

Ah, so sorry @approxinfinity awful news.
Yep, sounds eerily familiar. Best to you and your family. not easy.
My advice (if you haven't been thru this before): get everything in order that you can get in order.

@crimsonblu22 said in Chiefs offseason thread:

@mayjay if he wasn't on probation could he legally smoke weed? IDK.

Yea, weed, but it was part of his probation rules and regs I guess. No weed. I'm sure he was aware.

I mean he's an athlete, so not expecting scholarly behavior, but it pays to be smarter than the joint you're about to smoke.

Tough call on cutting him. He's the best receiver KC has.

Looks like the dumb ass of the year award goes to ... Rashee Rice.

Already on probation from the 400 mph car racing wreck, now he's broken the terms of his probation by smoking a little weed, and is headed to the pokey for 30 days.

And it seems like he had knee surgery. Not a promising start to the season!

@rockchalkjayhawk Im sorry about your mom. She raised a fine young man and I’m glad you are with us. We still have a World Cup ahead. Lets get this American fiasco started already haha. Speaking of which I havent looked at what Roger Bennett is doing this World Cup.

Thx @approxinfinity
And wow i haven't watched Men in Blazers in like forever and a day. I'll have to get back in the habit. Go USA!

Yea, like with many others, it’s been a rough year with loss and family tears.

Just lost my poor mom.

Not fully paying attention to the world outside my immediate focus, but still attempting to track roster construction.

Hoping by the time my misery clears, we’ll have a full team of players to discuss.

Cheers to all.

We’re getting to the point of starting lineup debate! But, I think we’re desperate for at least one more guy who can dribble and play point. Backup quality at minimum. Right now we basically have only two, who each are potential starters in Blyden and Kinney. And please don’t even start to argue that Stokes can bring the ball up the court under pressure.

Most years we at least four serviceable guys who can handle the ball.

Am I missing anybody?

Well, down to one, possibly two roster sports depending on the mysterious Thengvall.

I certainly hope DP’s story is true, and his cramping issues are behind him.

It’s just so hard to buy into any of this given the mystery and timing.

How a millionaire can have such a bad team behind him is a mystery.

Best of luck.

what's a Creighton Coover?

Anybody know if Will Thengvall is still on the roster? I’ve included him above, but other sites don’t mention him.

KU still involved with Bashir.

Miller is not an option anymore.

Yes ku is still involved with bashir

well, he would qualify as a shooter we currently need. There's that. but, i don't recall much else of his game. Looks like a skinny dude.

So reading in between the lines here … sounds like we really have just two, maybe three legit starters so far?

Stokes, Dawes, Blyden?

No bueno

@BeddieKU23 said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

Abdi Bashir has a zoom call setup with KU. Former purple cat, was injured a majority of Big-12 play.

Yikes

He's terrible. This can't be the last "impactful" addition. Fwiw, he doesn't move the needle at all on Torvik or Miya.

Is there anybody left who would move the needle? Or is this the cream on top of the steaming pile?

I hope we can fill out the roster with a few more experienced, quality players soon.

At the moment we don’t seem to have a top tier lineup.

Goodman comments on what kind of player Stokes is.

Roster updated!

As far as i can tell, we have 11 players. that includes one walk on dude, but i'm not sure if he's coming back.

That gives us 4 roster spots to fill.

State your predictions below!

I got KU.

well, anybody heard the word yet?

I like many of Kohl’s traits.

Mainly, he’s all over the place on the floor. Love that basic “skill”. Excellent hustle and strength. Love that he hits the boards and gets after loose balls.

His shooting can’t get worse, so there’s hope. I’m sure he’ll grow considerably as a player given time.

Happy he’s on the team.
