  Frank >>>>>> Blanks all day every day. I actually don’t hate Fran, though I see why a lot do. He talks about KU like Self would if he was calling our game.

  @approxinfinity said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread: @BeddieKU23 it never crossed my mind that we might not make the tournament until your post. That’s a bitter pill. Its possible we don’t make it. We have the talent to make it with that schedule, if we play well. I guess we will see. What a better time to reset all the streaks than a force or nature out of our control.? We didn’t piss our consecutive tourney and top 25 streaks away with too many team cancer OADs, or mass vacations to the league, we held the line! It took a plague to take us down, and there is no shame in that, but maybe there is a weight off our shoulders, off Bill’s shoulders, and an opportunity to turn over new leaves and renew our vows as dedicated fans of Kansas basketball. Thanks for that perspective. “It took a plague to take us down, and there is no shame in that.” I’m embracing it. If it has to happen, this is the year for it, when everything in the world is weird.

  @bskeet said in Living in the After **Never** glow: @tundrahok said in Living in the After **Never** glow: @approxinfinity I think your last point is key. The ball needs to move. Dave doesn’t need to have fewer touches for everybody else to have more. Yes. Passing feels like the key problem for this team. The poor shooting has been confounding because I have seen Abaji and Braun pour in 3s in the past… This year it is a struggle and I think that is because the defense seems to be on them. Percentages between open and covered 3s are vastly different… and these guys are covered a lot, so there are more rushed and forced 3s. Better passing can open up guys on the perimeter before defenders can get there. It can also create lanes for driving and opportunities to pass to the interior… If I could pick one thing to improve, I think it would be passing because I think it would in turn relieve many other woes. The question I haven’t been able to answer is why is this team struggling with passing so much? You got it, pass and pass, and pass some more.

  @BeddieKU23 Player PER’s support that Dave should be the top option for KU. His PER for the year is 25.3 and it’s been even better in B12 games at 30.7 which is in Doke territory from last year. His FG% is north of 50% in Big 12 games. Ochai is the current top option based on FGA and scoring, but it really needs to be Dave. Dave should be taking at least 15 shots per game at this point and I wouldn’t mind him taking 20 shots per game right now. He needs to be scoring 20 a game for KU at this point.

  @bmensch said in Agbaji on ESPN mock draft board: #50 prospect of 2022 Bryce Thompson SG – Kansas – Ht – 6-5 – Wt – 175 – Wing – NA – Fr – A walking bucket. Thompson scores from 3 levels and makes the game look easy. their definition of look easy and my definition are 100% complete polar opposites. Yeah they often just go off of HS info and don’t update lol.

  @Kcmatt7 I mean if he was really looking to flip the roster 3 at least and you sell your soul for the top guard transfers that hit or get lucky some top level guard is available in the spring. Its all about bringing in guards and getting Thompson Ochai and Wilson developed further. Its such a guard game now and he has to get himself some dudes

  @approxinfinity said in College Hoops Circling The Drain: Is that article suggesting that the kids might drop out of high school when they join the league? Sounds like it’ll be a virtual HS kind of situation. Not ideal from an education standpoint but maybe not a terrible option if the kid has zero interest in college.

  @jayhawks2010 There’s a big difference between knowing stuff happens and being able to prove something is happening. Hell, the NCAA hasn’t been able to prove shit against most programs until the FBI got involved. Bill Self can’t just go and subpoena phone and text records of Duke and UK assistant coaches. Coaches may talk at AAU events, but they aren’t talking about payments to players while sitting in the bleachers because they aren’t stupid enough to do something like that. Those conversations happen in the privacy in hotel rooms where there’s no witnesses to be able to prove anything happened.

  @rockchalkwyo said in Thursday nights starting 5...: @SlickRockJayhawk said in Thursday nights starting 5...: @BeddieKU23 I like that starting 5! It’s interesting to get opinions from other people’s perspective. Like you, I think my list would differ from Self’s, but here it is… Starters: 1 Harris, 2 Agbaji, 3 Garrett, 4 Lightfoot, 5 McCormick Order off the bench: 5 Wilson, 4 Enaruna, 2 Braun Closing minutes in a tight game: 1 Harris, 2 Agbaji, 3 Garrett, 4 Wilson, 5 Lightfoot (Harris only if he’s handling pressure well with ball handling, and Lightfoot only if he is stout on D, otherwise swap for Enaruna) I like this starting 5. We’re at a point, in my doomsday like opinion, to where we just say F*** it. With this 5 Agbaji can screen behind 2 bigs and pop up 10+ 3s a game. Also give Dave the green light to try 3 with Mitch at the rim for rebounds. Bump

  @Kcmatt7 I wouldn’t blame Enaruna if he did. We have even more frontcourt depth coming in next year, so unless he just abdolutely stood out I don’t see how his playing time could increase.

  Remember enaruna couldn’t even get in a gym and was lucky to get back at all w/travel ban. Not an excuse. Just he is behind.
