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.

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

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.

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

Coach Self still has it

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

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

@approxinfinity said in The rest of the season:

The three big lineup was absolute bullshit. Nobody who wears crimson and blue wanted that. No one. Felt like Bill doubling down on some disciplinarian point, when everyone was tired of it. His reactions to these situations. His inability and unwillingness to compromise to salvage it, makes me feel like he is heavily considering retirement after this season.

It was disrespectful to anybody who understands modern basketball. I understand he wants to teach lessons to AJ or Rylan but come on man…

I just want to see some effort and basketball rotations that make sense.

No 3 centers lineup with Dajuan and Zeke. Just functional normal basketball rotations.

@BeddieKU23 said in Tonight's game:

Self mailed in the game starting 3 bigs. That was a new low for him

Was a blatant middle finger to the fan base. Starting 3 centers and a non scoring threat PG.

Program is in a space that’s genuinely disheartening to see

@TYOHawk said in Tonight's game:

It’s not the money. They’re just not that good. Imagine if we built a team around Naadir Tharpe and Darnell Jackson…that’s essentially what Coach has done the last two years.

Don’t insult Darnell Jackson like that. He was actually drafted and spent 3 years in the NBA. I’d take him in a heart beat right now.

Fair point lol. Maybe Jamari Traylor and it’s nothing personal against him

It’s not the money. They’re just not that good. Imagine if we built a team around Naadir Tharpe and Darnell Jackson…that’s essentially what Coach has done the last two years.

They don’t deserve to wear the jersey…

It’s an embarrassment to our history and the guys who have worn it and competed with pride. This group is a bunch of quitters and should be remembered as such.

And Self isn’t off the hook either. This is what happens when you play favorites…

That Vernon hearings email was depressing to read…

Think we might still have to build the core of our team through the HS ranks. It’s hard to teach or instill culture to guys who might be mercenaries

@kjayhawks said in Ute came to the right place:

@TYOHawk spot on my friend, Remy was a renta player that wasn’t quite good enough to make the NBA for 1 year not sure how in the hell that could be labeled as Juan’s replacement with Juan being a Sophomore at the time and as I put above JCL was never a point guard by any stretch of imagination.

Coach allowed his loyalty to burn him with those two. It is what it is. I’m not a big Dajuan or KJ guy. But one of the truly sad parts of this is I genuinely believe him and KJ give all they have…but they don’t have the talent to be built around. It’s frustrating.

But next year is a fresh slate…hopefully it reignites the fire in Coach.
