I like the big 12 tourney draw. Finals run feels doable

Bill taking it seriously would feel like a first. If ever there was a year to do so though…

@kjayhawks Could be a 7 but beating Arizona will help.

@Bosthawk Most likely about Dajuan’s brother.

@dylans said in Chiefs offseason:

@wissox Thuney is very good, you should be very happy when he arrives.

Yep. Right move for the Chiefs I feel because they had to but they definitely lost a good player.

@BeddieKU23 Adidas is in deep. If they can help it at all he will end up at an Adidas school.

Prediction: no!

@rockchalkjayhawk Any total studs this year? I feel like things might have swung back around with RBs to where they are actually undervalued if you can find a true super Saquon type level talent. Saquon completely warped the super bowl, which isn’t clear from his stats but is obvious with an understanding of football.

Different position but I really like Tyler Warren. I don’t believe he will be on the board when the Chiefs pick however.

Swain confirmed what I was hearing, with the new roster rule changes, walk-ons are basically no more

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Chiefs offseason:

Wow, keeping Perine over Hunt?

The WR room may look different yet again, huh.

I’d consider drafting someone to go with X and Rice. Could be a NASTY wr group.

It’s a lot to process, scout etc… a GM would help

@approxinfinity Kansas basketball needs a gm, but Bill would never give up full control.

Early guess for the KU hire: Chris Beard

Team forgot the 2nd half was starting

@FarmerJayhawk said in Interesting Rumor/Note:

Maybe related, maybe not. I’ve heard varying opinions from some who would know, but there are certainly rumors next season is Bill’s swan song.

I’m at like 95% on that. Rumors of a succession plan that I’d be pretty okay with, but would require some pr massaging. I’m sure that’s far from a done deal though.

Indiana is undergoing a coaching search for those unaware. Well one of their major long time and respected writers said basically that they contacted Oats and he said he would really only leave Alabama for the Kansas job. Means nothing really, but interesting!

There has been zero credible talk about losing either fwiw

He has played, and hasn’t been all that good lately. I like him and look forward to him starting next year but right now he’s not the answer.

Flory was horrible today, but he will improve.

@approxinfinity Yes

@BeddieKU23 I like the fit there. Rebounding, acceptable shooter etc… I’ll need to see if I can find any full games to see how he handles/dribbles.

@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

Nana Owusu-Anane will visit Kansas, per Joe Tipton.

Definitely a good option here. Can shoot the 3…

Good solid bench piece. Entered the portal shortly after Brown played KU. Has been out injured this year (shoulder). One to monitor.

@BeddieKU23 said in Elmarko Healthcheck:

I’m very optimistic about next year. Peterson is a star. Self just needs to get the right guys around to compliment.

Will be interesting to see how we attack the portal. Should be more concerned about fit than the sexiest name. Hope Bill has learned something after Storr.

@rockchalkjayhawk yeah I think a lot of it is effort. The second half in Waco several of our guys were low energy. Particularly noticeable with Zeke.

It’s really quite funny… This year the computers say we are good and the fans are grumpy and saying we suck. Quite inverted from some recent years and I think a lot of it is KJ and Juan fatigue. This is a top 7 team on Kenpom. The way they lost to Houston and Baylor obviously leaves a sour taste…

Iowa State could not get by KJ last night. That was a beastly defensive effort from him. I’m as much a detractor as anyone but he was key last night.

Great thread title.

Iowa State seems broken lately.

Abysmal defense this half

Zeke’s effort is bad today and I never thought I’d say we should be feeding the post more but Hunt should be getting more touches.

Baylor has 3 players with 4 fouls and we are running plays for KJ Adams lol

This is a better team without #24 but yet Bill plays him all half and wonders where it went wrong.

This is a worse loss than the Houston game

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Dajuan Harris:

Also sounds like a chance that both Roach and Love return today for Baylor.

Thamel saying both are out https://x.com/petethamel/status/1885793709842915711?s=46&t=0WyxwmFDW5Z8qZ72g3rd9w

Down with missouri

Anybody know why Shak didn’t get any run in the second half? That was weird.

He messes up the offensive plays constantly. He was also bad last night in general. Bill be unwilling to go to him or AJ is probably why we saw that 3 big crap in hindsight.

Not sure which is more frustrating, watching shak and AJ blow up an offensive set by being in the wrong spot or diggy on d just wave exuberantly as he is either significantly out of position or in a ridiculous mismatch. Diggy was the main reason that dude went for 30. Everyone had to help him so much.

Yeah Diggy was out there guarding air. Kind of surprised Self went with him but I guess he felt we needed offense more.

Haters cmere. Front and center. Tonight was extremely telling how important he is to this team. They looked frequently disjointed on both ends.

@BShark jeez

It’s the smart basketball play

If we don’t foul here I will be so mad

If Juan can’t go at Baylor…oh man

Thiam for UCF might be our MVP so far. Started hot but then kept shooting and started missing. Both goaltends are him as well.

I have noticed Shak Moore has been banished to the shadow realm. Must have pissed Bill off.

+14 since switching to 2 bigs ‍️

Starting 3 bigs after half lmao

He is cooked

Like seriously what the hell are we doing. WHY is he staying with it when it’s obviously bad.

Going out his way…

Sad to see him go out like this.

I’m actually worried.

I’m over Bill Self

This game is definitely winnable at least. They need to clean up the turnovers and Hunter needs to start making shots.

Inject Juan’s ankle with magic at half

@approxinfinity said in KU Mad, Central Florida next on schedule, part 2.:

Christ man. These are almost all turnovers on passes. Self inflicted.

Yeah, no PG out there for us
