To those more in tune with B12 baseball, any good reason I shouldnt be rooting for West Virginia now?

I’ve been battling with digestive issues this last year after surgery, with persistent low-grade indeterminate back/chest pain that was driving me nuts, leading to a battery of tests (I now know every unrelated thing thats wrong with me internally, which is good). Last week, the GI told me to take 7 doses of Miralax 2 days in a row (and no, I wasnt really “backed up” prior), and suddenly, zero pain. Because the lack of pain/sensation is so noticeable after a year of it, it’s both unnerving and exhilarating.

We definitely need to enjoy our good health while we have it!

Sorry about the bad run. Glad everyone in your life has you there. Please take care of yourself through this.

@BeddieKU23 love it. Lets reel him in.

@drgnslayr I really think you were made for this job. Go drgn go!

@kuballin10 on the other hand, congrats Lexi, on the promotion! Keep up the good work!

Can we get 2 more decent role players? We have 4 open schollies is it? Shouldnt we be waiting on 2 guys instead of 4 at this point, even if they may be impact guys?

@mayjay not much has happened in the last 5 days.

General consensus seemed pretty negative. But i might be negative too if i were a Nets fan.

Crickets. Now we wait.

@rockchalkjayhawk yeah, i get it. I also think with a different coach and roster construction last year, Passmore would have stuck around.

Count me as one of the optimists that assumes that someone like Jacque Vaughn might retain and develop players better than Bill Self at this stage in their respective careers, with the state of college basketball as it is.

@rockchalkjayhawk eh. That seems a tad harsh, but ok. I am disappointed he left as well.

@rockchalkjayhawk Pretty sure Passmore instigated the break up.

Will there be more opportunity to showcase, NIL money, and growth opportunity for Passmore at Maryland than at KU this year?

Those who blame Self may think themselves optimists and agents of change, especially with Vaughn in the wings.

Maybe prosperity is just around the corner.

@rockchalkjayhawk i think its a lot of things, no binary answer. I would be good with fielding a solid but not spectacular roster with a couple stars. We have had success in the past with lean rosters.

What i dont want is for us to grab guys expected to contribute that repeatedly fall on their face despite getting minutes. So picking prudently for additional role players is still of paramount importance.

Work ethic. Work ethic. Work ethic.

Pretty happy about this. Difficult to be angry about misses when our staff changes and the guys we have gotten all seem like hard workers. This offseason still has the potential to be magical with lots of time remaining, but at the least it has been all positive.

Thanks y’all. We’ll revisit later.

@Kcmatt7 yeah, i think i will open it up later this summer, but its not too much. I just forgot to switch to a new card and the old one expired.

My bad

I’m all about Nepal Clams. https://x.com/sankuchy/status/1374927846116786181

@Crimsonorblue22 yeah im saying i like texas tech transfers, not texas.

@rockchalkjayhawk before my time. Was he a fan fave?

I was referring to Mccullar and Arterio Morris

Im a fan of Texas Tech transfers. Not Texas transfers (i realize theyre gone).

Stance on Duke in 2025: sarrdonic

Enjoy watching the versatile ways this kid scores

So Dame Sarr coming to KU is contingent upon Coward not going pro right? When do we anticipate knowing whether Coward will go to Duke or NBA?

@wissox geez man. What rock do your nipples live under?

Oops, silly me, how did this one get through?

It will be good to be on the “mostly complete” side of roster construction after this one

@Jhawk69

@mayjay 3 if embiid didnt get hurt? No way man. That roster was “woof!”

@wissox nobody has a large college sample size given how different the game is post NIL. Bill had zero NBA experience, something that might have been valuable these last 3 years

Du… du haase… du hasst to see it.

Man. Tough one.

@rockchalkjayhawk Titus Welliver thought he had a friend…

Congrats to Mr Clutch

Ochai getting the MOP was laziness. Shoulda been Dave, no doubt.

Wish it was Mayo coming back. Unfinished business.

Still waiting re: eligibility rules?

@DanR love it. Big fan of Vaughn and makes a ton of sense imo.

@kjayhawks joy, right?

@dylans we just spent 2 seasons giving 30 mpg to a “defense optional” center. Hopefully we at least get consistent effort from this kid?

@Texas-Hawk-10 Vaughn was 71-68 with the Nets and got them to the playoffs twice. He also showed noticable improvement with young rosters. I dont see him as damaged goods at all.

Vaughn got a raw deal in Orlando too. Every reason to believe he would be a good coach and a player development guy.

@Texas-Hawk-10 appreciate the enumerated take. Makes a lot of sense

@drgnslayr were you suggesting this year? Seems like that ship has sailed. I assume you meant generally speaking, order of operations.

Again, i am not talking about this season.

Things change quickly, and posturing is a thing, we know.

We hang our hats on organizations we believe in, like the Spurs, wishing some things to be uncorrupted, but things fall apart.

Things also come together.

But nothing is static.

So proclamations of absolutes certainties and intolerance for counterpoint seem to be irrational takes.

Hope we can live in the middle.

Its a beautiful place.

If I am projecting and this is in fact a molehill, thats cool.

@SlimShaddy54 yeah. Tyler also lives in Texas fwiw I’ll stop. Just saying theres a tiny chance if he is like “to hell with cbb landscape, but I’m not done”
