You made it count when you got minutes. Good on you kiddo.

Our only RSCI top 100 players truly in the rotation are Dave and JWill.

Couple KS 3 stars (Och/CB), a PG going to Missouri State, a super walk-on and Remy is obviously good but was a fringe 4 star (depending on the site).

Player development is so good, and people (myself included) tend to underrate returning players.

Didn’t really want to talk about this beforehand but it went well. I should be okay.

We got a star here.

Says he told his team to back off, but he had starters in PRESSING AND HARD FOULING KU’s walk-ons with 2 minutes to go. I call bullshit, Squeaky.

BAH GAWD, THAT WAS A GREAT GAME FROM DAVID MCCORMACK.

He’s been serviceable all tournament. Tip of the cap. I’ve been hard on him all year.

@truehawk93

Fans of other teams and journalists getting mad when everyone knew the rules beforehand is very stupid. Teams were leaving in their starters late BECAUSE margin mattered…

@Texas-Hawk-10 two really great gets, good chemistry + talent guys

The portal has been a positive this time I’d say. Two very good players and there is still a chance with JD. His wrist/hand injury was really unfortunate as I felt he was coming along a bit.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

@approxinfinity Tre White was someone KU recruited out of high school and I believe committed to KU at one point before going his odyssey. With Council, KU was initially looking at a different player at St. Bonnie’s, but ended up loving Council more.

Correct he committed to KU very early on in high school and it didn’t stick.

The staff received a recommendation on Lajae Jones (ended up at FSU, KU passed) and Council really stood out when they watched. I do actually know the guy that passed along with Lajae rec, not sure if I’d say friend but we are cordial with each other.

Where I’m at at this point in the season assuming we can get everyone healthy…

Starters: DP/Mel/Tre/Tiller/Flo

Rotation: JD/Kohl/Jamari

Everyone else is emergency only.

@kjayhawks said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Jamari>Elmarko by a wide margin at this point.

Yep, not close. Would much rather see Jamari out there. Once Darryn and JD are healthy we could ideally see Elmarko not play…

When do we find out when next game is?

Going to be a later one

“Final is 9:30 ET, third place game is 7 ET. Think Kansas is guaranteed in one of those”

Tre White 8.4 rebounds a game after the UNC game. #noticing

My apologies to Jamari he was fine today

@kjayhawks said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Ridiculous this is even a game, piss poor officiating. They just throwing up crap from distance but yet have way more freethrows than us going to the rim and they’re fouling on purpose the last 3 trips.

They missed a couple earlier that were just insane. One where Tiller got hammered and another where Jamari was discarded to the ground.

Trey White was always meant to be a Jayhawk.

Love him
