  @AsadZ Hmm if Iowa St hadn’t blown a big lead against them in their matchup we’d be calling them the best team so far. A combo of those two teams have visually looked tops and probably a gap after that. Auburn’s defense isn’t as good as several but they certainly can score with the best of them. Gilbert of Iowa St is a sneaky top player that gets no recognition. I think he’s a baller. Just a solid team overall

  @FarmerJayhawk Hunter’s steal rate is way up this year to go with decent block rate and great rebounding numbers. He’s turned into a solid defensive center, just still can’t slide for shit so he can be exploited in P&R in the wrong matchup. Ideally, we just need to avoid teams with stretch fives that can punish drop coverage.

  I still go there because they do put stories on all KU sports, football, soccer, volleyball etc. I concur that quality of articles has dropped but I get to receive information. For this reason, I have started a monthly trial and will see how it goes.

  It’s always interesting to see when players are not motivated by Self’s coaching style. I guess it’s not for everyone, there’s a standard to uphold and I don’t think AJ has bought into it. Easy to say from the outside but he doesn’t show that he fits here, which is crazy because his athletic profile and body type is meant to thrive here. With his recent struggles I’m imagining they will try and figure it out in this important 5 game stretch we start today. Team has been healthy so far but we have upcoming games against two of the most physical teams in the nation. Any injury is going to put the focus back on AJ having to be a factor. He needs to figure it out

  We won our let down game with 2nd half defense and energy. Cincy has lost three straight all in conference and their season is teetering and could fall off the cliff with another loss or grab a life line with a win over a surging ranked Jayhawk squad. We should want it more than they do and need it more and to show our players they are legit in the here and now. This is a road game with a probably loud crowd and playing a stingy defense minded team and we don’t want a slow start from our shooters to play into Cincy’s plan. We have won 4 out of 5 and should make it 5 out of 6 going into the unfriendly confines of Hilton Coliseum on Wednesday. We need this one first and put the fear in Georges Niang, Jeff’s Grayer and Hornacek and the Mayor Fred what’s his face (Hoiberg). I really don’t know which one I dislike the most. Not to forget Marcus Fizer I don’t like him either.

  @approxinfinity said in West Virginia- a game finally: Foury Flory I really hope we can get him NIL money and to stay. I think he’d be a lottery pick next season no question. A second round project like Furphy is.

  @approxinfinity said in And so it begins -- Players won't play without promised NIL $: Feel bad for the ageless one here. Imagine if KUs boosters were flaky and Self was stuck squeezing them and encouraging the kids that the money was coming. What a drag. Yup. What a crappy position to put any coach in. And remember, NIL money isn’t “pay for play”. Players aren’t supposed to complain about hustling butt but not getting paid. And it’s not supposed to be money for just being recruited. Outside of the court, it’s services rendered. We give you money and you provide a service for us at market rate. But whatever. It’s just crazy. Player revolts are a bad thing.

  @approxinfinity My wife and I were watching as she’s a solid soccer player back in the day The announcers call of the goal was phenomenal….one of the best I’d ever heard (I’m not a soccer guy but his excitement had me on the edge of my seat)

  @wissox Ah, you I know post tongue in cheek… Except when you discuss coach K, of course, whose name I believe will be your personal “Rosebud” on your lips at the end, alas never to be understood by the AI staff in 2093 in the Old Jayhawks’ Home.

  It was the best Clemence has looked since his freshman season. Fun game. Guys are generally finding their way in the system and, in some ways, they look good simply because this group is shooting better. Next up @Creighton… will be difficult.

  @SlimShaddy54 I heard he’s supposed to go limited minutes. Might be a bluff.
