  @rockchalkjayhawk said in Late Night: OK, i admit i’m a bit suspicious by nature, but this has me really wondering if there’s something going on behind the scenes. Some kind of punishment? self imposed or not. Not having official visitors on a huge recruiting night just doesn’t feel right. Talk me off the ledge! Late Night’s lack of official visitors by design, Kansas coach Bill Self says “The reason why we didn’t have (official visitors) here is because we’ve just basically got our guys committed,” Self said Friday. “We made a conscious effort this year to bring in the ones that we really wanted early and not wait for this because there’s no guarantee they’ll last.” Well then… Sucks to be suspicious, then your suspicions come true! I knew something was up. Bummer.

  Two thumbs up for YouTube TV! Unlimited DVR, too! So I’m looking at this schedule: https://kuathletics.com/sports/mbball/schedule/ When it doesn’t list a broadcaster… surely that means the games will be broadcasted but not negotiated for yet? Half of the Big12 schedule not televised? If you hit the download button… it shows the schedule with different TV possibilities. Someone help me out here…

  @Jethro said in Future Big 12 Schedules: @stoptheflop ESPN +. Thanks Jethro. I still have ESPN+ but didn’t need use it much since KU football has been so successful. I can’t wait to see this year’s team.

  @jayballer67 He could have transferred after last season so him sticking around is good to see. Word is he might not have the skill level to stick here which is why if he did improve during the redshirt and this yr that perhaps next year would be interesting. Not expecting anything but certainly remain hopeful since his athleticism and defense really popped when he was a HS Soph

  @bskeet said in Self Dmack Rafters?: Thank you @Texas-Hawk-10 for correcting and filling in the blanks on the criteria. It’s hard to argue that Ochi’s jersey shouldn’t be in the rafters. Honestly, it’s a done deal. He met the criteria. However, it’s also hard to argue that Dave doesn’t deserve to be recognized. A case could be made for Remy too. The main issue is that it’s a slippery slope when you loosen the criteria. For instance, adding conference player of the year adds a number of players historically. And it doesn’t get Dave there. So then you need another criteria for that and it will likely add other players too. Pretty soon, the prestige is sullied and the honor watered down. Personally, I would keep the criteria as they are and develop a new honor for members of a championship team. That helps us not forget critical players like Piper and Newton and Shady and Rush… and BigDave and Remy. Conference Player of the Year actually doesn’t add anyone that doesn’t already have their jersey retired or meets another already established criteria except for Marcus Morris and Doke and Morris already had his jersey retired. KU’s conference POY’s all time are Dave Robisch, Bud Stallworth, Danny Manning, Jacque Vaughn, Raef LaFrentz, Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Wayne Simien, Marcus Morris, Thomas Robinson, Frank Mason, Devonte Graham, Udoka Azubuike, and Ochai Agbaji. Right now, the next jersey going up is likely T-Rob whenever he can make it back during the season. In your list of names, Brandon Rush’s jersey is already retired because he was a 2× 1st team All-American.

  I will always wonder if Self sort of lucked out by the fact that Roy never won a championship. Since Roy didn’t win it all our fan base was open for change away from an “all offense” approach to basketball. Bill took us to a place where we stopped the run and gun… less overall excitement… and made us think about winning with low scores and defense. I still don’t understand how our attention is on defense without us having full court pressure. Totally goes against my understanding of the game. I think Bill realizes we don’t do well enough in our M2M defense to extend further on the court. So he limits us in an attempt to be better at half court defense. At this point, I just buy in because his record speaks for itself, and I’m not talking about winning two NCs… I’m talking about his winning % and ownership of the B12. The guy just flat out wins!

  @BShark that’s why I’m a big fan! Those guys have my ! Although his family has had devastating losses, I believe God has placed special mentors in his life. Benny Mac and Mari were also guys that had very rough times. Ben was excited to have his own bed, hot water and food. He loved school. I hope Juan can score more this yr and make money somewhere.

  @Kcmatt7 said in Initial Impressions of Top 25 and 1 Preseason Poll: KJ just screams “Bill Self Guy” to me. He finds 10 mpg. Type of guy that could become something by the time he’s a senior. Elite athlete. Yeah Bill loves him that’s why he said the comments he did to sell him on staying. Sounds like he’s been relatively happy but another year with the same kind of minutes and idk if that would hold up. There was definitely a real effort to get him in games last year even if the minutes were not big though. I can only think of 2-3 games he didn’t get in at all.

  Shaq will get the crowd rockin’! It’s a good, solid choice and we’ll get some side benefits… like a little free promotion because of Shaq’s high visibility. I can also imagine someone else famous being a part of this… (come on Jay-Z… help out your buddy running the B12 now!) lol

  @tundrahok said in Boot Camp complete: @Jethro I forgot our first national title was exactly 100 years before our most recent one. That’s cool. We also won in '23, so I think we’re due for the back to back.

  @drgnslayr Billy Packer called that game. Jim Nance responded with some shock and if memory serves correctly UNC did make a game of it. After going up by 19 UNC went on a 17-2 run but a huge offensive rebound by Rush led to a building lead of around 7-10 points the rest of the way until we blasted them at the end.
