  @bskeet said in 25 Best College Basketball Players of the Past 25 Years: @Texas-Hawk-10 said in 25 Best College Basketball Players of the Past 25 Years: @bskeet said in 25 Best College Basketball Players of the Past 25 Years: I love Steph Curry, but I guarantee if his ankle injury early in his career had persisted or if the warriors hadn’t brought in Kerr and his system, he would not be on this list. (In other words, his NBA career impacted his selection.) Otherwise, why wouldn’t Doug McDermott be on this list? Doug McDermott is 17th on the list. LoL Dur. I swear I looked at the list. Oh well. McDermott’s college career seemed more celebrated than Curry’s (although Curry is clearly the better player). But Zion? He was mostly hype. Surprised Myron didn’t stuff Kyrie on this list. Anyway, this whole thing is ridiculously subjective and probably purposely so… All Myron has to offer in the offseason is clickbait. A big chunk of the players on the list won the Wooden Award and the ones that didn’t lost to someone else on the list. As I said in an initial post, discussion and debate is the primary purpose of this type of article because it is the offseason for college basketball. Pretty much every site that covers college basketball is going to be putting out articles that are subjective in nature with the intent of generating debate and traffic because that’s all there is right now for college basketball.

  @Bosthawk said in 2024 and basking in the glory that is Self: Wouldn’t Hunter be one of those big bench bodies in the nba? Guys that come in the game so the starters can rest? Hunter is likely a guy who gets a two way deal as an undrafted free agent. It’s possible he could be a late second rounder, but I think UFA amd a two-way deal is more likely for Hunter.

  @DCHawker said in 6/14 SCRIMMAGE STATS: What stands out to me is that the team with 3 key freshmen and just one starter held their own against the team with 3-4 likely starters. I can almost guarantee our starters were cakewalking.

  @Kcmatt7 said in New Walk-On: The KU Walk-ons may be the best group of walk-ons in the country lol. Will be interesting to see what happens with the Topeka kid. Carter and Cross are definitely above regular walk on level. I’d wager these two are basically slotting in for the 12th/13th spots. Aldridge would require a full scholarship offer and I don’t think it will come fwiw.

  @BShark said in SCRIMMAGE SZN: Early chatter on Terio is extremely positive. I’d bet he has the inside track to start. Think he’s our second best player by the end of the year. That’s my hot take. Buying all the on court stock I can on him and Elmarko.

  @approxinfinity said in Has Bill Self seen aliens?: I wonder if anyone has plotted what the stars would look like from a foreign world and made up that worlds constellations, including our sun. All you need is a 3D star map that can be manipulated to put youurself anywhere in the map. Once the star location data is created, shifing perpective and reducing it to 2D should ne easy. I don’t know if anyone has invented constellations from those views, though! Cool idea…create a different world’s mythology! This generator (for creating game backgrounds, I guess) looks like it might be able to do it: https://www.profantasy.com/products/cos3_summary.asp I’m sure cosmologists have numerous tools to do it. It would be vital for interstellar navigation. I remember Star Trek (Voyager?) episodes where they had to figure out where they were after going through wormholes, and they used a (CGI) hologram to simulate the galaxy.

  I think he essentially got a promotion. He was certainly one of those recognizable refs. I wonder how much influence he had on the B12 refs in the last 4 years or so-- which is when the B12 got more physical and also got more competitive (getting teams in the final 4 since 2019 and even a couple NCs). A crew of officials can kill styles of play… or they can allow styles to germinate…

  @BShark said in Bye Bye Ernest: @kuballin10 said in Bye Bye Ernest: @BShark Parker gonna be Clemence 2.0……slow the roll on this and don’t let coach’s speak in the off-season get you excited Udeh was bad, no offensive game at all. He couldn’t beat out 6’5’’ KJ Adams for the spot. Mentioned this in the other thread but I think we will miss Zuby more down the line than Udeh. Could be wrong on this obviously. I think Parker’s stat line will be in line with one of Mitch’s better seasons* which is fine. I’m going off watching him play, not what Bill is saying. *So around 4pts/3rebs a game on 10-12 minutes. Zuby was another tweener. Needed a few more inches to be a solid C prospect IMO.

  Really no question Kevin is better option than a portal guy. I do think the ball sticks on offense when he’s in but it had gotten better by seasons end and played well the last month of the season. It is without question a championship or bust season now. We have a super tough schedule so we will find out how good we are early. It’s a lot of pressure but that’s why you want the older guys.

  I think you’re on to something. You could see him noticeably defer to JW on several occasions last year. I think having HD at the rim will allow him to fly all over the court.

  @rockchalkjayhawk Both Kevin and Jalen have not looked good at the combine. Jalen will stay in no matter what but I don’t see Kevin getting picked and smart money says he’ll make more off of NIL here than a two contract or over seas. Obviously his choice and I’ll respect what he decides because you can’t base every decision off of money.

  @Jethro said in Welcome Parker Braun!: @benshawks08 said in Welcome Parker Braun!: @Jethro I agree he’s probably our best option right now but I don’t think he’s the same LOCK for minutes that Juan, KJ, and Hunter are that would deter a quality player from joining the team. Agreed. If they used Timberlake in the Remy role, it probably would be better in the long run. I am PRAYING they don’t recruit Caleb Love, though. Surely they can see he isn’t KU material. If we didn’t have Morris and still needed a starting caliber 2, I would go after Love because I think he’d be really good in a situation where he’s primarily playing off the ball. Since we have Morris, Jackson, Timberlake, Johnson, and McDowell, there’s no need another guy who can play the 2 spot so I doubt we’ll hear about KU having interest. A wing and a big are the needs remaining and should be/are the focus.

  I was hiking through Zion National Forest on Saturday and another hiker passed by and said “You’re going to love Hunter Dickinison”. It took me a minute to figure out why he said that to me - until I looked down at my hoodie with the giant Jayhawk on the front of it.
