      @Jhawk69 Wasn’t there something about some of the other players telling HCBS they wanted Landen?

    • RE: My crisis of faith in Bill

      @SlimShaddy54 Good point. A true leader will not only take control of things but will not be afraid to get in a teammate’s face (literally &/or figuratively). I definitely do not see that attribute. Easy to talk a good game and leadership but extremely difficult to actually do it.

    • RE: My crisis of faith in Bill

      Many interesting and some valid points have been raised. It’s so easy to look for mistakes, issues, etc. in coaches and players, especially when we certainly have been spoiled throughout the years. Chemistry is such a huge part of any team; this team right now doesn’t seem to have tons of it. Also seem to be similar to the past couple years in that we’re not very mentally or physically tough. Hard to believe that no one has brought up how bad David McCormick was several years ago and how HCBS protected him. Too soft to be a big winner. Seem to recall Remy was not too highly thought of either for a good part of the year.

    • RE: WKRP in Cincinnatti

      @kjayhawks Today was a perfect example of what you’re saying. Our offense wasn’t very good until the last 6-8 minutes but our defense kept us in the game. Granted, Cincy shot poorly but I like to think we had a lot to do with that.

    • RE: Other bball games

      @kuballin10 Certainly wasn’t ignoring the fact that the game was played in AFH. Simply stating that KU had the ability to play at a championship level when you consider who all we beat this year. Something definitely was lacking when we went on the road. In our world today, it seems too many people quickly jump on the bandwagon (whether it’s positive or negative). Look at the Chiefs. Everyone bashing them until they finally figured out it was ok for the defense to be the leader. It would be interesting to go back and look at comments earlier in the season after the big wins.

      Guess I’d stick with ours. When is the last time KU had a losing record? How many times in the past 25 years have we lost 10 or more games? Three losing seasons in a row for them at one point.

    • RE: Other bball games

      @jayballer67 I think there were games earlier in the season where we were fluid and really got up and down the court. Something caused a loss of confidence especially on the road. Were we soft? Probably. Were we a cohesive unit? For the most part no, and I go back to earlier when I said that is probably due to having only a few players who have been in Coach Self’s system for 2 or more years. I would think that picking players from the portal has made it more difficult than ever to put together the right pieces.

    • RE: 2023-2024 Statistics

      @dylans 21+year old is quite different than an 18-19 year old in many ways. I understand that Bobby Knight while at Indiana worked with a sports psychologist to develop a test that was then given to a kid before Knight would recruit him. This helped determine whether or not the kid would be able to function under him. Probably wasn’t fool proof but it probably saved some problems over the years.

      Seems that too often on here we fear the other team and wonder how on earth we can adjust to them. What are they thinking? They lost by 50 when they played against Purdue and their big center.

    • RE: Bracket chat

      When this team meshes, they are elite. However, this team is an excellent example of college bball in today’s world. Of the players who play the most, all but two are in their first or second season; therefore, chemistry and familiarity are not there at all times. We all know that Bill’s best teams are veterans who have been with him for more time.

    • RE: Who would you keep for next year?

      @BeddieKU23 Don’t know that college ball is down as much as the number of players who have switched programs has created so many roster changes. This in turn creates a lack of cohesiveness at times for even the better teams. When a team has 5 or more players who have been together for 2 or more years, they know one another’s moves and fit together better.

      So much of it will depend on the mindset of those playing tonight. Their approach to it will determine if it’s a game or not.

      @dylans He definitely wasn’t the leader that Denver needed, especially in the ways that Sean Peyton needs. He also wasn’t the only issue that Denver had. Seems as if there were too many players who put themselves first over team.

      McCollum had 15 at half and ended with 17; who shut him down in the second half? Thought that was a huge difference for us in the second half.

    • RE: Guaranteed Rate Bowl News

      I agree with you about this team. My point is about so many at all of the universities in bowl games who suddenly decide to sit out a game that the team worked hard to get to. Suddenly an individual’s loyalty disappears because he puts his health (which had been on the line every other game during the season) ahead of the team. Of course, I’m old and see things through different glasses!

    • RE: Guaranteed Rate Bowl News

      I would think if he’s not playing that he’s already decided on the option he plans to take. I understand the worry of an injury but wasn’t that possible every game during the season. Our sense of loyalty (to team, teammates, school, etc.) seems to have disappeared over the years.

      Wasn’t attempting to compare him to Frank, and I don’t think a leader needs to be a beast offensively. Interesting how some were ready to clear a space for new title trophy and banner a few months back, but after two exhibition games are bashing almost every. player.

      Might be although I don’t think he likes that role. I think Juan could be the one but he isn’t sure that the others see him as the alpha. To become the team we hope this group will become, this (a strong leader) has to happen.

    • RE: Jalon Daniels health

      Time to prepare as if he might be done for the yr. Bean needs the reps in practice in order to be ready for a game. Difficult situation to begin with became almost impossible when he was named starter shortly before kickoff. No doubt that all of the team was knocked down a notch or two when it happened.

      Tradition says go to the football game until its outcome looks fairly certain and then leave. Tradition says go to a basketball and stay until the end, no matter what. KU is a basketball school, and unfortunately football has a lot of ground to make up.

    • RE: Arterio Morris is a Jayhawk

      Is the negative attention nationwide or only on this site? I would guess that many of the kids playing college sports come with some kind of risk. I would also. think that when a court decision is made then a decision will be made on his playing or not. Let’s not be judge, jury and executioners since we know only what the media has chosen to give us.

    • RE: McCullar

      Definitely not down on Gradey but not sure what legacy you’re looking at. Because he is a freshman, his immaturity at this level has certainly shown this year through his inconsistency. Those that have been mentioned stuck with it through 2,3,4 or 5 years and continually improved. Several went on to successful. pro careers after risking injury while playing. I see the risk of playing another year as advantageous to his future because it will allow him the opportunity to become a stronger player in a variety of ways. Right. now he is a streaky shooter, kind of how Remy was last year.

    • RE: Texas game chat (danger I'm 0-1 in my last game chats)

      @benshawks08 Maybe to some extent but Texas played 3 in 3, also. This group has a tendency to roll over when they get smacked. They have had some nice comebacks, but as someone pointed out, we’ve also lost several by big margins. When we came back, it was with an unbelievable amount of energy and effort. Didn’t see either of those once Texas got up by a few late in the first half.

    • RE: Other games

      @stoptheflop Before Remi started his hot streak last year off the bench, what kind. of production did we get from the bench? It’s almost like our bench players really aren’t expected to score since the starting five pretty well takes care of that. It would be a real bonus if they did, but none other than Joe look to score. As long as they can play good defense and either score a few or create opportunities for starters to score, I’m ok with that.
