I’m grateful Coach pushed all his chips in on Darryn. Just a better fit for us on numerous levels

@SlimShaddy54 Storr was not great but I feel that’s more on self. Storr was a known gunner coming out of the portal and self has given him zero leeway and let guys like Kj and Dajuan chuck up shots and pout on the court.

Playing favorites will have ramifications

@rockchalkjayhawk Has too much of an emotional attachment to certain players

This is 100 percent an issue with our program right now.

It genuinely seems like Coach has lost this locker room already.

Yeah he has, I have intel on this. Massive couple weeks ahead to try and right the ship.

I’m not even trying to point fingers. But from the outside looking in Self has made some mistakes and I’m not putting it all on the transfers as I’m sure they weren’t told during the recruiting process they’ll get a front row seat to the Dajuan/KJ/Hunter show.

@rockchalkjayhawk How come missery who didn’t win an sec game last year can out athlete us and have more length

Hmmm maybe Bill’s eye for talent and roster construction within the portal sucks??? His system sucks for even veterans who transfer in to get acclimated?

Supposedly it’s on timing and when it’s off it’s real bad

@TYOHawk - you just now figuring that out?

I tried to hold out hope due to our portal additions. But with Coach’s weird rotations and our transfers seemingly being neutered I don’t have much hope.

Starting to firmly believe you can’t build a title winner around Dajuan, KJ and Hunter.

It genuinely seems like Coach has lost this locker room already. Bringing in all these guys was to lessen the load on the core 3 instead we’re getting more of a mediocre core than ever.

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

Coach Self still has it

Coach is on a heater man!

Tiller, DP and Samis in a couple of weeks!

Vernon mentioned we’re looking at someone else…

So I do think they take one more player…

Any idea on who??

Actually I think it’s the guy who will commit to the football team who will walk on for basketball. Jaden Nickens is his name I believe

I think they would take a HS guy if a guy blows up in season. But getting in my opinion the second best player in the country in DP and a freak athlete who could be a developmental story in Samis is solid.

@BShark said in 2025 Recruiting:

DP signed officially

Sensational

Flory Bidunga and Zeke Mayo…you two have changed my life.

Does anyone know , or heard - -do w think we are getting Tiller Sunday or what – would like to ge him. - -Anyone hearing anything ?

I’m trying to figure it out myself

With DP in the bag, Alijah Arenas is my new most wanted realistic target.

Adidas do you have a plan for us….

Heard some good things about this one last night. Adidas + the KT relationship could get it done…

Encouraging to hear…I do think Arizona will be tough to deal with.

He has the physical tools so I don’t mind the flier.

@jayballer67 said in Recruiting Notes:

So who’s next ? - - Tiller possible ?

Yes

@BShark Aye brother I might have to retire after this recruitment. I’m getting too old for this shit man lol

We got him!

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

I get recruiting happens - last minute changes - people drop bags but it sucks. Self has whiffs

Duke and UK (Cal most of his tenure there) - they got whoever they wanted and didn’t whiff

If Bill is that upper echelon now and “the man” in college bball - he can’t whiff in DP

Bullshit Coach K and Cal didn’t have major whiff in recruiting.

Cal was getting his ass kicked by K on the trail for like the last 8 years tbh.

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

@TYOHawk This guys a little bit closer to us whiffing on Ayton than Williamson lol but your point still is valid

It could be hindsight but Ayton always seemed like he wanted other schools to recruit him. Some kids just aren’t enamored with KU which is crazy to us as fans. But it’s how it goes. It’s why I truly enjoy rooting for the Zeke’s, Gradey’s and CB who grew up wanting to play at KU.

I’ll also say this before anything occurs. I remember in 2019 being disappointed we didn’t land Samuell Williamson and instead took a local kid ranked in the 100s. The local kid turned out to be Christian Braun…we’ll be fine regardless.

Adidas needs to respond and get us Stokes or something bro. They need to do what they did when they helped us land Wiggins.

@TYOHawk said in Recruiting Notes:

Would be another reason for us to leave Adidas. Nike doesn’t let Adidas get their elite kids meanwhile it’s the complete opposite with Adidas

We won’t but I feel you

Bro it’s hilarious. It’s a very real possibility the top 3 kids on their circuit don’t end up at adidas schools. Peat, Peterson and Ament could all very well go Nike. This is after a class in which Karter Knox and Ian Jackson end up at Nike schools.

Now could you imagine the swoosh letting Cam Boozer, Dybantsa go somewhere else?

Thank God for the portal. Recruiting is ridiculous man

@rcjhdraft said in Recruiting Notes:

About time we got a top 5 draft pick level dude. Been a while

Need some more young NBA presence too. Also despite the rankings I think Ament is the better NBA guy long term between the two.

This is what I’ve been hinting at on the phog. Jo is 30, Wiggs is 29 and Kelly is 28. We need Gradey, Furphy and others to stand out to keep us a presence or you become UNC and the school that recruits believe can’t produce good pros.

@FarmerJayhawk Trilly gif in as well now

Was waiting on this news

Branham imo is just as good as trilly. 7 confidence CB from him is a lock. That plus Trilly is like, mega lock.

Also I’d start watching Nate Ament film. Good time to get acquainted. His recruitment will be a spring decision but KU has a couple legs up on that one.

Bill is back man…I prayed for this

Staff is working man…

Hustler Bill is back. Wants one more title before he hangs it up.

The fire is still there with him and I love it.

Staff is working man…

Coach will just have to keep it real with Rylan and AJ. They could have roles in the nba as 3 & d guys…but they’re not getting drafted by just chucking up shots.

Wagner stinks and is living off HS hype

@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:

Predictions rolling in for Sebastian Williams Adams to KU.

Music to my ears

Peterson cut his list to 4 today as well. KU, Ohio State, USC and KSU.

Dybantsa visit this week as well…

Peterson might be Coach’s next all star…that means something to me

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

Side note he’s not coming here so I can say it. But was listening to a college hoops podcast. It sounds like the going price for Dybantsa is between 3-5 million. BYU is in the lead there…

Staff watched Darryn Peterson and Alijah Arenas today at the Adidas event.

Imagine if we go from Peterson to Arenas. Sheesh.

Wing U into 2 guard U

So I was thinking about a Peterson/Kease back court next year and well

I’ve been praying for a backcourt like that. Pure bucket getters
