Get him out of here. I was for a second chance but this guy doesn’t get it.

I’m honestly just thrilled we’re getting athletes again. It was such a crazy thing to watch last year with us being unathletic and not being able to shoot.

@kjayhawks said in West Virginia- a game finally:

People continue to roast Bill on Twitter/X for continuing to defend KJ and play him as much. He said the last play was drawn up for KJ (stupid). He defended KJ saying he just had a bad game and then threw Storr and Griffen under the bus. Hes gonna lose this team if he already hasn’t. If he has any coaching sense he’d start the two of them and actually let them play thru those mistakes like he does KJ, Juan and Hunt.

He’s lost this group. And I can’t blame the transfers. You miss one defensive rotation or jumpshot and you’re pulled. KJ gets to go out there and put out a prime Matt Kleinman stat line and gets to play 25 minutes no matter what.

Sucks losing Kugel but man I’m really excited about a wing trio of Rylan, AJ and Rakease. We got shot creation, athleticism and spot up shooting all in one portal season

There’s no solution. They’re just not that talented and outwardly look like they’ve quit on their coach and vice versa.

We just have to wait it out cause Self has a fetish for the core 3. If things look this bad next year with Darryn and Flory then conversations will be had.

Stokes is in town let’s roll…

@approxinfinity said in Peterson:

Its a pipeline. Need continuity. Think of all the players you did appreciate since Embiid / Wiggins. Now consider that their decision to come to Kansas was influenced by their success.

They don’t get it. You don’t get Udoka without Embiid. You don’t get Oubre, Josh and etc without Wiggins.

Peterson being here is huge…we need a new face in the nba and we just need to see what it’s like having elite guard talent after watching Dajuan for 5 years.

Go get me some dawgs

We had too many pretty boys like Jamari Traylor said last year. I can deal with losing but not cause we were getting out toughed. Those Houston losses still piss me off

@TYOHawk E - - X – A - -C - -T - L - -Y ! ! get a couple of bruisers, mix it up, players that love contact and drive looking for contact . Kina like ol time Daryl Dawkins ( Choclate Thunder was his nick name )

He said when he went up for a flush/slam don’t gt in my way because that is MY TIME-- need those kind of players, guys that can out tough you Physical- or players even like Christan, guys that play with some edge , cockiness to them , some one who can talk the stuff and yet who has game to back it up- – No more tippy toe , emotionless that just show notjing

For the first time in decades…opposing teams came in the Phog and weren’t afraid. It was a rough season

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

@TYOHawk What have you heard about him off the court?

Leader, competitive, fiery kid and excuse my language but he gives a damn.

After what I just watched for 30 plus games…sign me up for that. No more smiling after mistakes or players wilting as soon as things get tough.

@dylans Ok lets slow down a bit with that rhetoric. Feel free to be disappointed with how he handled the situation, but that doesn’t make him a piece of shit. Would you stay at a job even if you love it if another company was coming in and offering to more than double your salary? Cause that is what we are talking about here. Flory isn’t guaranteed to have a NBA career and also has to worry about getting injured and missing the opportunity to even get there. This could be his only chance to make a decent bit of money that could have to last him the rest of his life. Ideally yes, you want players to love KU and only want to play here, but KU also can’t be lowballing their returning players that much and expect to get that kind of loyalty even with players that grow up KU fans.

I do agree he doesn’t need to be coddled, he got paid and now he needs to shows up this season. If come next month, he isn’t showing any improvement, then he deserves all the criticism you want to give him.

This…they lowballed him and he left to view the market. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t love KU…

Can’t lie have no idea how you can despise Flory.

I’d listen to that guy ^

Bardwell, Rosario and hopefully a vet transfer should be a nice wing rotation next year.

@BShark

What a week. Stokes could be announcing soon as well. Could also be landing the 27 kid that could potentially reclass. Interesting twists going on

Warms my heart to see the staff locked in like this.

Talk of us getting two more commits this week…

@BShark said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):

Officially a Hawk. More to come this week…

I’d trust this guy.

2:30 ct time

@TYOHawk 247: scouting report reads like a Bill Self wishlist and a fans nightmare

Highlights show high level of anticipation on steals, instincts on the offensive glass, good athleticism, good in transition, capable at some other things. I saw a Self guy for sure. Looked bigger then 6’4, wonder if he has good measurables. You need guys like this in the program as you fill the roster in the NIL era

Kid has a 7’1 wingspan at 6’5. That’s gonna allow him to at least be useful defensively for guarding numerous positions.

Now they’re going to be able to solely focus on their big fish…
