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

I was still celebrating the Furphy commitment and now I get Flory. Bro this is euphoria to me.

Our guards and wings kicked their ass. Shout out to Flory too…he grew up last night.

Coach Self still has it

I mean he and Zuby essentially got recruited over. These kids are trying to make the NBA. They’ve got to do what’s best for them.

We got the two most athletic guys in this class. I trust Self to do the work with skill development.

Dajuan is atrocious. He is the worst PG of the Self era by far. KJ played with effort but he isn’t very skilled so at some point it becomes harmful. Hunter wasn’t into it at all yesterday.

At this point I’m just looking forward to next season and getting some new kids in the program.

Rumors are out that Acuff will be committing next Friday. Arkansas is the choice

I would be heading out of here too if I was said player.

@TYOHawk Yeah problem is Self is the only guy on the planet who doesn’t see it that way

In his mind Juan is one of the greatest KU pg’s and led them to a national title - because he’s said that for now 3 straight years and his actions of playing him so many minutes confirm it

Legit laughable take. We would’ve been out in the second round if it wasn’t for Remy. Creighton was leaving Dajuan open all first half. Self has had favorites before ie Jamari Traylor and etc. But the love for the core 3 and them being in the circle of trust is making for some unwatchable basketball.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Looking back at Hilton:

Doesn’t it kinda suck that for the last four or five years every argument comes down to KJ and Juan?

They’re kind of holding the program hostage.

Also wanna say I hate that Zeke is on this roster. I know the front of that jersey means something to that kid and he’s played his ass off. He’s just stuck on a roster where the circle of trust runs this roster.

You don’t think the front of the jersey means anything to Juan or KJ??

Considering we’ve been getting our ass kicked during most of Juan’s tenure not really. For KJ I do think it means something so I’m wrong for omitting him but Zeke is a Lawrence kid.

@TYOHawk The more I look at the program since 2013 the worse it actually gets on how he handles players and his system

The best teams as the other poster pointed out were 4/1 and yet he’s talking about playing 3 bigs because he’s so frustrated with our wings. Maybe coddle them like you do the big 3 and they’d produce better.

If he Embiid or Oubre’s incoming DP he needs to be “retired” next year because he will have effed up yet another roster.

He’s going to value Elmarko and McDowell and somehow Clemence might get minutes because they know what he wants and practice well versus all the young guys and 1-3 upper classmen transfers he brings in and gets mad at how they do things in practice.

He runs a program like the 80’s

He’s gaslit the program for multiple years that Juan is the truest pure pg and incredible - people said “self knows more than message board idiots” and actually the people watching the games from their house could see it clearer

He thought Hunter is the next Jokovic and he can’t defend a ball screen or the rack, roll quickly to the hoop or hit 3’s consistently. Yet Bill knows more and plays him

He’s gaslit us that kj is as impactful to a game as Ochai was. He had the game against Duke and watching Duke that would go different if we played again. Every other game he can’t score outside a dunk, kills all offensive spacing (doesn’t matter Juan can’t beat his man off the dribble consistently anyways) and can’t rebound.

He plays a pg who isn’t a threat to score and can’t shoot - when he shoots a lot the other team loves it. And he plays a 4 man that is zero threat to score and other teams don’t guard. We then can’t score but he doesn’t care because defensively he’s happy getting beat 74-57. Oh but with 4 minutes left it was a 6 point game. Did you all watch? We never had control, we’re down the 15-11 and NEVER took the lead again. OH YEAH BUT WE WERE RIGHT THERE BABY AND ALMOST HAD THIS ONE!

Yet Self never sits these three - thinks they are his best shot to win and has yet another year where we aren’t even conference contenders let alone a title

Hope you all keep those title hopes alive and keep on believin because you clearly are seeing the same stuff I have for 3 years and somehow expecting different results which is the definition of insanity

He keeps calling Juan a winner but we’ve gotten our ass kicked more during his era as PG than ever before in Coach’s history. If it wasn’t for Remy we would’ve never saw the second weekend during Dajuan’s tenure.

Dajuan is atrocious. He is the worst PG of the Self era by far. KJ played with effort but he isn’t very skilled so at some point it becomes harmful. Hunter wasn’t into it at all yesterday.

At this point I’m just looking forward to next season and getting some new kids in the program.

How are you supposed to run an offense with one guy being treated like this? And we have two guys defenses treat like this

I don’t know what DaJuan or KJ has on Coach but it’s essentially neutered my goat.
