I’d listen to Farmer..

There is a few people on the site I don’t entertain most of what they post. @farmerjayhawk is the opposite, what he posts is usually very accurate info and I believe him to be one of the most intelligent persons on here.

I’d trust Farmer and Shark’s info every time.

@TYOHawk But did he get through it? I'm not trying to be a hater, but I just have never seen this level of kid gloves applied by Bill Self before. He couldn't play for UConn because he was only at 90-95%? So he must have been 100% for this one? But later we found out there was a minute restriction? I feel like I saw DP ask to be taken out after in the first half maybe even rejecting a sub. It just feels like Bill Self is working very hard to spin the fact that DP is yet to play a full game of basketball. I understand that is Bill's job and I'm all for him taking as much heat off of the 18 year old as he can, I've just never seen him do it to this level before and it makes me feel weird. Lol.

Really hoping this is all somewhat Remy coded and come March we will see this team actually peak and make some noise. I'd just love to beat a few of the really good teams in the big 12 along the way.

I mean he seems to be okay. He was fighting a bug/illness that’s ran through the team lately too. I’m kind of surprised so many people expected him to come back from his first game and just like play 30-35 minutes fresh off a hamstring injury.

Would prefer Branch personally. But seems like the staff is going to wait for Stokes first.

Talent wise I get it, and if Bill does stick around another year Stokes is the kind of guy he loves at the 4...

The high usage Tre White/JWilson role is right there for him. Not to mention playing with his childhood friend at PG.

Thought he settled a few times when he could’ve drove. But I’m genuinely just glad he got through this one.

His camp and Adidas have put Coach in such a messed up situation…

Encouraging update about Stokes on on3 this morning..

The bench stinks and the bigs are soft.

@rcjhdraft said in 2026 Recruiting:

All these Adidas kids going to nike schools while nike is holding onto dear life with stokes. Let him be free! He'll have a better career not playing under "Mark Pope"

I’ve thought the same thing lol. Adidas is letting a lot of their signees attend Nike schools and the swoosh is fighting tooth and nail against us.

I’d listen to Farmer..

Every time I watch film of Stokes, I have to ask- Is this really the #1 player in a class? 26 is down badddddd

The class sucks tbh. But he and Jordan Smith Jr are the top two guys.

Kohl is usually pretty good for boards and steals, and Mari for 3’s and throws.

Honestly I don’t think anyone off the bench is good for anything. There’s not even a Connor Teahan on this bench.

Only concern is Stokes drawing it out. Ideally you’d like to have a decision in the next few months.

We had a 8 point lead when Darryn went to the bench and then we just let them post up Jamari and Elmarko on like 4 straight possessions. What happened to my coach man?

His 3ball hasn’t been falling lately but him trying to dunk on people is a welcome sight.
