@BeddieKU23 what year is this guy? I saw in another thread that he play in the Greek Leauge? Is he even eligible?

@bskeet that is so awesome. Congrats

@rockchalkwyo where have you been?

I’ve been around and check this site probably 10 times per day. I just never really have anything meaningful to add to the group. I don’t want to be the person who enjoys hearing themselves talk.

@nuleafjhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

@FarmerJayhawk I got a pretty sweet NIL deal. I get to work my ass off, carry most of the company, get paid slave wages and oh yeah - take care of my own insurance.

There’s changes with the Secure 2.0 Act coming this year and future years. Your company may have to up their benefits package.

Nice aggressiveness Nick

He looked skinnier at the big 12 media day. His face wasn’t red either. We’ll wait until the first game for the red face to return.

What does this mean for Zach? I’m sure he was banking on being the man after Hunter left.

@patoh3 said in Meanwhile down in Nacogdoches:

He really crossed the line. What a turkey! Strike him from ever coaching again!

Sorry, just trying to be p(f)unny.

I guess he’ll have a lot of spare time.

Duke lock

Sickening tbh.

I’m really not crazy high on our starting lineup at the moment either. Even with Nelson, it is a bit concerning. The saving grace was that we would have a ton of depth. But with Udeh and Zuby out we have absolutely questionable/non-existent depth at the 3,4 and 5 spots. And with the portal closed targets are limited. If we end up with Parker Freaking Braun as backup Center I won’t even know what to think.

At least we get to see their mom for another year.

He also got a tattoo of his KU jersey. I’m not sure how many people really know how much he loved it here.

@Jethro has there been any info on his puma deal after this?

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in 2023 Recruiting:

According to the KU Men’s Basketball Facebook page, we’re about to get a commitment from a kid named Light Mitchfoot. Seems like he’d be a solid option for a backup post position.

My sources are telling me that it’s a package deal with his friend Thris Ceahan.

What’s the website that ranks all of the guys in the portal? I thought I had it book marked.

Awesome!

Random question.

Is Kansas, KU, or Lawrence issuing municipal bonds in an effort to help raise money/capital?

Or is the money from endowments and donations?

Zach played well today. Small sample size yes but it was improvement.

I’m not reading much into this 3 game skid. From what Self has said, a few times now, is he’s resting the players more this year to play the long game for the conference. With the extra day off that of course means less practice. Duh.

Hopefully the other teams beat each other up throughout the season while we’re more rested in March.

Having said that, there are concerns though but the team is not lost.

Who would rather see Joe be in before Bobby? He plays better D and can shoot 3s.

If so I got 5 cents that says Jay Wight will take his spot.

Och with another good game. 21 minutes, 19 points, 7/7 fg with 4 three pointers.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Other games:

@BShark but with Tang Exactly. Drew without Tang is just average.

Merry Christmas

Sorry to hear that. RIP

Cuffe

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Way Too Early Line-up and Player Thoughts:

I see Cuffe went down in practice today with MCL and PCL. no surgery, they say. How do you not need surgery?

According to acting KU coach Norm Roberts, Cuffe tore his MCL and PCL ligaments while running up the court in practice. Roberts said it was a non-contact injury and that Cuffe is expected to be able to return to basketball activities in 10-12 weeks.

I’m not qualified to answer this, but this is the internet after all. I’m guessing it’s a lateral tear?

Or it’s a move to have him RS again to save a year considering we are at reduced scholarships next year. A move after the season started which didn’t give him a chance to transfer.

@Crimsonorblue oh sorry for the confusion. yup that’s it. They serve hot cocoa and cookies and once you get to the North Pole, Santa gets on the train. We have 2 and one on the way.

The Black Hills are in South Dakota. Rapid City, Custer, Hill City, and Mount Rushmore are all in that area.

Farmer was just talking about Custer and Rapid City. I live in Wyoming and travel through there often. I was just giving an example of when traveling there is nice and not full of tourists.

There’s different people up there for sure. It’s better to go to the Black Hills in the fall or winter time. In the fall you can see really pretty colors in the trees plus less people.

We go to Hill City every winter before Christmas on the 1880 train. It’s a Santa train that goes to the North Pole. A few years ago I was glued to my phone watching us scrape by North Dakota State.

On Dok’s Snapchat that night, him and Devonte where on a four wheeler having some fun.

Hopefully he move’s past this and learns from it like JWill.

There’s a difference between a PE coach and a basketball coach. I’m guessing this person came from a small school where that title is the same person.

@jayballer67 said in 2023 Recruiting:

Well read where Jacobe Walter committed to Baylor. - -Considered the # 1 overall shooting guard in the class and the # 21 recruit in the Nation. Scot is becoming a real pain in the ass

I agree he really is, but we/the conference needs the competition. The conference grind as I like to call it helped everyone out in March and April.

@BShark still though, I think it’s a possibility. KJ did surprise me a few times with his quickness and handles. A small sample size is an understatement though.

Such a relief that MJ made it on campus. That’s the first box checked for next years team.

I have RJ Hampton flash backs with this one.

@BShark said in Judgment Day:

Fuck Jeff ruining it for Jalen though. Jesus.

For real! What a piece of shit!

@jayballer67 hopefully there’s enough NIL, or other money to bridge the gap of a post season ban.

But as always Spring Billy Goat says hold my beer to recruiting adversity.

I bet $1 that Jay will either be at Duke or Kentucky in 2 years. Part of the plan

@SlickRockJayhawk Dedrick Lawson before Doke’s injury.

It would be interesting to visit last years off season thread.

@Jethro said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Somebody’s not happy about us taking their title away:

https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/threads/uk-is-now-the-2nd-winningest-program-in-the-history-of-college-basketball.366449/

What a nasty group. Someone said it didn’t matter, and then a person said shut up and die. Wow that just make me like this board even more.

Thanks for keeping it classy everyone!

@Gorilla72 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:

KYSportsRadio on Twitter quoted Calipari saying there are a lot of players wanting to transfer to Kentucky. Said he needed to evaluate them, “because as I’ve said, this environment isn’t for everybody”.

I can not roll my eyes hard enough at this.

AZ had a lot of calls go their way towards the end.

Remy 30 minutes from here on out. He brings so much.

With UK losing, does that change the odds of Och winning NPOTY over Oscar?

Zags!?

@BeddieKU23 Wyoming

Forgot they were in the play in

Hey!! Wyoming is a powerhouse!

I went to YouTube to find Och’s senior speech and found this instead. In a way this hit me harder than the speech did.

What a great young man!

I have Boise State taking out the Zags in the 2nd round in one of my brackets. I wouldn’t bet a cent that I’m right though.

@Bosthawk show the young kids how to do the chant. It’s been lacking as of late. But most importantly, have fun!

@jessejayhawk happy birthday
