When you demand a bag a critical eye will come with it. He’s not carrying his weight yet. Hopefully Flory will, but his frame and skill level will limit him.

@approxinfinity said in How to sign up for ESPN plus/select/unlimited: How does one build an app that gets shittier every year? Amazing. ESPN ran out of money. Had to fire tons of people. Thus no pre or post game for KU games anymore - that’s my biggest complaint so far. Spent too much on buying rights of games to hire people to cover them. Unfortunately it’s games I’ll never watch - (anything other than KU or Chiefs is off my radar) Bidding on sports rights nearly sank a couple companies, but not winning the bid would. If they’d just figure out they’re running the price up on themselves they could cut costs - no need for a bigger contract if they collude - like the wayNFL running backs are paid.

@FarmerJayhawk I know he left from the state track meet straight to manhattan and they mentioned he was not 100% then. He did win the 100 meter hurdles. Part of his deal was to run in the state meet.

White is invisible. He’s our invisible assassin. No one pays attention, and he’ll probably average 16 ppg this year. He finds ways to score. We have several guys that can put up decent numbers on a semi regular basis. And then there is DP… there with the lights shining bright, attracting defenders like bugs around a light bulb. He’ll find his way to get his but more important he’ll create scoring space for others and his basketball IQ will take advantage of it. I’m less interested in how many points he averages a game versus how many assists he averages. Our bigs show promise, but on offense, they require plays, often two-man plays and lobs. None of these guys are Kareem with a sky hook in the post. Which of our 3 bigs will become most proficient at pick and rolls? I’d like to see all 3 bigs learn to “crash the boards!” We could really use a big man coach about now! Obviously, Vaughn isn’t a big man coach but he knows how to teach guards to utilize bigs in several ways, including high ball screens.

@mayjay said in 2025 Chiefs : Missed this yesterday: Mike Pennel signed to Bengals practice squad. No secret re-signing plan for him apparently. That was written before game 1. He’s back! Maybe it was an 8-week plan…

@FarmerJayhawk said in What will KU do?: Here’s the text of the proposal https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Compact-for-Academic-Excellence-in-Higher-Education-10.1.pdf Some of it is perfectly defensible like the institutional neutrality provision. But the immigration, gender/sex, and financial things are just straight up extortion. My guess is it’s KU’s call at the end of the day unless KBOR steps in. I can’t see that happening because I believe most members were appointed by Gov. Kelly. That proposal is way beyond sickening. Project 2025 anyone? Christian nationalism. Look at OK who have legislated that all Public colleges will build a shrine for Charlie Kirk complete with statuary that reflects Christian values. If you think this is okay Holier than thou.

@nuleafjhawk no

Haven’t watched volleyball at all, but have caught quite a bit of soccer action. 6-3-1 big 12 record. 12-3-2 overall. Weird trip to Utah. 2 matches in 4 days means a 5 day stay in the beehive state. The win over BYU was exhilarating as BYU, a top 10 team most of the year tried to mount a comeback from down 3-nil. KU gave up 1 goal, but under an intense barrage for the last 20 minutes the defense held strong. Big 12 tournament is next. It will surprise no one if KU repeats as conference tournament champs, but it’s a pretty tall task.

ISU looked pretty ordinary against Northwestern. Cam Boozer who looks at least 6-10 was out of this world against Tennessee with amazing court vision and passing along with great lower body strength.

@patoh3 TY. Hope he sticks around a bit. Seems to have a lot of untapped potential.

Speaking of buyouts Brian Kelly will get $54 million to not coach LSU. Man if I was in College coaching my goal would be to have 1 good season and get a huge buyout, set for life afterwards. Not sure why anyone at LSU thought that would work. If you can’t win championships at ND against a cake walk ACC schedule and all of their resources, how the hell are you going to in the SEC? Was as stupid as us hiring Weis.

We need to stomp K-State twice in hoops this year (including in their super bowl)

He looks like a work in progress… needing to improve lateral pursuit. This is where we get into possible trouble if our calling card becomes athleticism extending on both sides of the ball. On defense, if he’s the weak link we can waste the efforts of 4 athletic defenders because of one slow guy. I say that, but I’m also reading he has a good sense of the game and has good skills finishing at the rim (not just dunking). We need to see more of him to understand his potential. I don’t want to be the one prejudging his potential.

This class has a point guard, a shooter, a glue guy wing, a scoring wing, and a rim-protector big. Seems very well-rounded to me.

Maybe he could play for KU again. How’s that NIL budget looking? lol Apparently teams are recruiting the G league guys and somehow signing them. Spoiler alert Izzo is not happy about it. - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/46680426/michigan-state-coach-tom-izzo-sounds-ncaa-louisville-signs-former-g-league-player

Anyone have a link to scrimmage video?

Hey Christian, we know you read the Bucket, how about a nice donation to the NIL fund!

The Giants just pulled an all-time choke.

Mercy, Mercy I’m gettin to old for this stuff man GB wins 27- 23 over the Cardinals on the road. Parson was huge I can’t do this guys lol u g e I think he had three out of our five sacks Mercy I can’t do this guys to old lol

fickle implies some good, some bad, there’s not been much good at all!
