@FarmerJayhawk getting close

Turf is going down guys, Can you imagine when it’s done --gonna look soooooo Sweet

@approxinfinity ya , ya , ya lol blame the writer , not the messenger lmao

@approxinfinity that’s who I was talking about Luka Skopic

Hmmm , So just got through reading an article that can out two hours ago. Sounds like KU might not be done recruiting for 2025/ this years squad rounding out the roster for this year quite yet.

The article says that from a recent post from PDT recruiting KU is showing renewed interest/linked to Croatian --6’9 Guard / Wing — -Luka Skopic . If true says he brings length and promising three point shooting to round out the roster for this year.

Not sure how much validity thee is on this BUT if any substance would be good- - -MORE length and three point shooter, watching film decent ball handler , looks pretty decent shooting the three and length.- -not sure on hops out of all high lights saw one flush-- the rest lay ups but looks solid for minutes off the bench

Had to rfit , another article from Jayhawk’s SI . It said Luka checking out possible College route.— 21 years old , ---- --5.6 Ppg – -- and shot 42.3 Drom the three- - -been hearing from a few Schools Pittsburgh ---- - - -West Virginia-- --& KU listed.

@SlimShaddy54 - --getting excited Football here before you can say Boo. - They are getting ready to lay the turf in about a week t, Sounds like phase two is going to be ready to go. Everyone who has seen the Stadium so it’s awesome, Huge State of the Art. just Convention center won’t be quite ready to go , everything else good to go

Well Kohl is here and on Campus got here yesterday always a releif for them to actually show up. - -Now just waiting on Paul

@Texas-Hawk-10 I sgree with you, when ahool gets involved all logic goes out the window hormones get flaring up and we think with the wrong head, I could see the scenario you mentioned playing out very easily.

@nuleafjhawk I know I mean he is just throwing his life away- -pointless, like you said made a little mosey I mean not huge but I would think comfortable, just see this kind of thing way to often, WHY ? just sad

I guess I just don’t understand, the guy has just basically thrown his life away,—WHY ? I mean yes I know, but i mean I just don’t get it , throwning your life away for sex. I mean if everything was what it was then he will be where he belongs but, clearly just not thinking.

Alcohol will get you in trouble for sure. Wasn’t he still playing in the League ? Just a sad situation

I’m beginning to really like our new recruit’s way of thinking. I think there might be a few that just could be under estimating/value of Paul Gbiya.,While I’m not sating he will be no world beater but I think and have heard yes he is raw and unlimited ceiling.

Yet what I really love his way of thinking. I read an article where he said he wanted to become a Molutu- --which translates to a Dictator of the Lane- -I LOVE that type of thinking. Really good rim protection , relentless on the boards and that7’8 wingspan, I think we might have awaken a Bear

Ian Premier NU 1 player in the State committed to Norte Dame at least not the jerks down the interstate

@dylans w have beaten Duke multiple times I beleive always loaded but under preform

@DCHawker ya , now this Group of Duke recruits ha to prove themselves.---- --There is NO COOPER Flagg or knippel l on the roster…—have seen many 5 star players come up short. Just because there 5 stars doesn’t mean opponents are just gonna step aside and tell Duke to name the score and go from there…- Look how poorly Kentucky has been lately with all the so called stars haven’t came through , came up short

@RockChalkinTexas Oh gotcha , I thought you were talking overall player my bad

So do we think we will use that last scholi or no ?-- If we do what it go for ? Another wing ? or what. I think we might be done.

@RockChalkinTexas Lot better rebounder then KJ- --Lot better rim protector-- much longer wing span 7’9.-- -kinda raw , still learning he has been playing ball for three years.- -gotta little post up move --and your right he loves to try and tear down the rim at all times.

One thing about it is he is not going to have to come in and have the entire load on his shoulders. Like I read from another site actually all he needs to o is rebound, score some and defend the rim right now, spell flory a bit and be able to learn the system.

This team is going to be by far much more physical , much mew athletic.-- we have a Pg that actually can and will drive and finish , play through contact, can and willing to shoot the three.-- Not knocking Juan by any means still like Juan but this is what it is.

We have a Big that loves contact , wants to rip the rim down every time -loves attacking the boards for the rebound— then our other big has serious hops loves blocking shots and pretty dam fluid.

Then we have a wing that can knock down threes pretty effectively , we have a dog maybe a coupe defensively , we have extreme length at every position, we have multiple guys that check in at 6’4- -6’5 interchangeable in many areas.

Then we have a very capable all around players sounds like a team to me.-- -Most the time we are the HUNTED - --This year we are THE HUNTER. I think we are going to be over looked and not enough respect given. – -LET’S DO THIS let the games begin- --ROCK CHSLK

YES ! ! ! now we talking. 7’8 wing span- —standing reach 9’5 - -3 blocks ppg.- — --Flory and Paul is gonna make some teams miserable. pretty dam good combination

With these last two commits ew just went probably from like the fifth best team in league to 2nd 3rd best-- maybe challenge-- like those chances— then we have oh dam what’s that kids name-- – -umm-- umm what is it ? – -OH YA DARRYN PETERSON lol look the frick out. KU didn’t go anywhere . were STILL HERE.

Look I see a bunch of K/State and other trolls on different sites now scurrying back to their holes, I’ll be dam ain’t that something.

@JAYHAWKFAN214 Don’t be funnin lol who ?

@TYOHawk Ya think he visited yesterday I think. So now we wait. chance of wither him or what’s the kids name ? Demir. == = =Think I’d rather have Mbiya but either one is fine

@BeddieKU23 that would be nice

@mayjay Lmao, I admit I not 100 % innocent, start sweating little gold nuggets when we start so many misses turn into one Big nervous Nancy lol. Like always Coach out his rabbits foot and BAM we just fine

@mayjay He took all the tar and turned the chickens into pets

Really starting to like these pieces we have. We have nice interchangeabe pieces in the back court. we have length in the back court.-- The team as a whole is very athletic- I think the defense is going to cause teams trouble.

Been hearing really good things on Council and Marcus, heard Marcus has really raised his game

If we end up with Mibya --I have got to say ONCE again Bill has ended up with a pretty solid class

@BeddieKU23 I myself would love Myiba, the kid is really solid. Defends the rim well things starting to shape up. Also I think Tre is a solid player to might surprise some.

@FarmerJayhawk Awesome, that’s great to hear. NOW I’ve heard East side shouldn’t take as long probably cause like you said no suites. It’s ok that Stadium is going to look great when finished

@FarmerJayhawk +++Have you heard anymore about funding ? Are we going to be able to get the East side done ? Any idea when the reno would start on the East side ? I had heard they hoped it could start after the Season is over

Travis Brenham 247 recruiting put in his CB for /kohl at 7;1p.m tonight to KU

@BeddieKU23 So guess he re classified then for 2025 ?

@BeddieKU23 True might be at that. --IF we by chance would happen to land him I think would be a really good fit with Darryn, Pit him in tthe line up with Darryn , & Flory & himself really makes this team sweet.–Add Council in some where would be nice.

Get our back up big would be food to go. I think Kohl shot like 43 % from the three , that’s a bonus. I gursss he has said he will be making a commitment soon and re-class remains a strong possibility. said he will probably commit sometime this week…

I would think hopefully good news because he committing this weeks chances are more then not he had cancelled his other visits with Texas A & M and Caylor and others. You put that together with he is just coming off his visit here means has to be good right ?- Might be reading to much into this we shall see

@BeddieKU23 Souns good but do we have the money

Saw some other posts and saying sounds like Self is putting the full court press on Kohl Rosario & Mbiya .

Thing is with Rosario hearing wants big bag & wants lots of minutes, not sure how that is going to go over with staff. on top of that thought we were hurting in NIL money, with I’m sire Reterson & Flory NIL.

Do we want to spend big on Kohl , unproven or spend more om Mbiya who has college experience and try for McDowell for less

@rockchalkjayhawk I know this has to be one of the craziest off Seasons in recruiting

@dylans I agree with you 100 % & this is exactly what I’ve been saying also all College ball is a minor league now for the pro’s NIL ha destoyed the game of College Basketball there is no NCAA basketball anymore. I have never watched any G league ball either, your spot on.

@drgnslayr I understand and I’m hopeful that Coach at least tries to make the connection a that Big Man you speak of at the present would be Mbyia

@Texas-Hawk-10 Ya I would think they would still try and reach out and see for sure. Mbyia visited KU on his original recruitment and KU was in the mix for him – - like you said 7’7 wing span , he was tearing up the Euro league showed scoring of 15.3 ppg- --11.7 rpg - - -& 3 blocks per game --pretty serious numbers,

Like the article put out though would be if he came who is your starter ?- Flory or Mbyia ?- - Mbyia -6’11 and 260 with that 7’7 wing span, gonna be a lot of Schools on him

Mercy , who really knows 100 % for sure just exactly where we stand on recruiting ? I mean through misses in our recruiting with High School & portal we have really hit the international route really hard this off season trying to find that back up Big and that scoring wing.

I’m just starting to get this feeling that in the end we may NOT be in quite as bad of shape as it seems. It just maybe , maybe might be with these guys being international bottom line is things JUST TAKE LONGER , RIGHT ? - --could be Visa’s-- - - Could be eligibility , - ---- there is no way we can possibly know the whole story as to where we stans, Hell they might have already actually given a verbal , now just waiting on the process.

As far as Ege or Koren as to who I would take ? – — that is a tough one for me. Like has been said by BeddieKU23 we are further along with Demir , sure fit -----I would take Ege because of his rebounding aggressive attack of the rim & length-----BUT I would take Korem because very fluid, makes some nice passes , looks like he can hit the three occasionally , handles the ball well- - I dunno I will take either and be fine if they commit.

Yet like Kcmatt7 says when we see that Karem is following KU on Social, does kind of seem like we have seen this before usually means interested for sure and might be heavy interest- - -in the end I think we will be fine,-- like they say I guess patience is a victual

@BeddieKU23 lol ya

@BeddieKU23 Ya I had since read that Demir like you mentioned had actually verbal to UCLA a few years back but didn’t meet UCLA’S standard . of English. Crazy score he needed to qualify for UCLA- -had to score a 100 for them, was referenced just silly, as even Harvard and Cal which are very High Schools their scores needed in English is 80.

KU score needed is 79 but if a individual takes a paper test in home the score drops to a 60 , so yes your right a lot better chance to qualify.

Interesting enough I had thought about this before they brought this up —Demir reminds them and me as a some what smaller version of Doke right at a 7’3 wing span , very aggressive rebounder, attacks the rim with vicious dunks. going to bring strong rebounding , good lob go getter, poor free thrower, needs to reduce turnovers

@BeddieKU23 Good God never seen such a brutal off Season

@TYOHawk Me neither , I think he stays in Carolina-- -either Duke or N Carolina

Heard from TOS that it is Rosario that’s on campus today. one’s believing that he wouldn’t be rushing through these visits if he wasn’t re classifying we shall see

So anyone know who our visitor on campus is today?- - KC Star saying visitor today but you have to subscribe to the star to read article. Anyone got any idea ?

@rockchalkjayhawk checkout the Portal thread here got film on film

@Kcmatt7 I agree hoping we can get him to come in give Flory a spell Flory athletism then Ege for some bully ball.-- guy is SOLID 6’10 – -250

I was right he is big— 6’10 & 250.—Think it said 14 ppg & 8 rpg.-- So who is the competition we have for him ?

@BeddieKU23 Mercy, he looks like a big boy. When I say big I mean bulk , solid , but not even beginning to hope we have had so many misses that’s sounded promising

Happy Fathers Day
