I am of the opinion that summer is a great time. There are lots of good novels, short stories, series, music, and movies to be watched without being distracted by sports or the feeling of obligation to prove to people online that your takes on sports are more correct than theirs. Then there is always that “spending time with your loved ones” thing.

What makes you say he is a one year rental?

I am very high on Mbiya’s upside BUT he has to stick around for at least another year to become anything other than a decent backup. Most likely he enters the portal after this season.

Congrats on your retirement. I would recommend writing a book or learning a language to fill your time.

In what way does Kohl remind you of Nick Collison?

How excited should I be about Old King Kohl?

That can’t be true. People on the internet were saying Suemnick to KU was a done deal.

@TYOHawk Yeah but we should at least be shooting our shot with some international prospects. Maybe we are and there just isnt any smoke about it

I love how we are recruiting only backup bigs and not starting wings

Boy oh boy would I like to add a few warm bodies to the roster

I don’t think KJ played the 3 for more than 2 minutes last year. That said, 4 guards is a superior approach. I would have liked to see us start 4 guards and rotate Flory and KJ at the 5, Hunter being kicked out of the rotation until he steps up as a leader and hits the weight room

Flory should start at the 5 but he can be a serviceable 4 for stretches as well

Its possible for us to challenge for a natty but we would need Darryn to be every bit as good as advertised plus we would need Flory to make a major leap and be an All-American caliber player

Word on the street is that we are pining for a couple of Croatians.

Christ almighty. We had better have the funds to outbid NC State

Do they make nipple clamps for people with a third nipple? Asking for a friend…

@dylans But if you gave KU athletics enough recruiting money they might build you a statue.

@rockchalkjayhawk The only way he would do that is if KU found another million dollars. If any of you are billionaires maybe you could even things up

The longer this drags out the more Duke is going to slither into this recruitment

Embiid was never going to beat Florida that year. However, our 2019 team if Doke stays healthy and LaGerald doesn’t quit the team might be another final 4 or title as well.

@kuballin10 Williams to the NBA D-league. Sarr to Duke.

I seem to recall Bill Self saying he would advocate for Big Dave to have his jersey retired, given that he should have been the final four MOP.

Saw an article online today saying “Dame Sarr is turning into AJ Storr”. If we land him I sure hope that isn’t true. If someone else lands him, then fine.

@dylans This doesn’t even take our 2020 team which probably deserves a championship into account

@mayjay I wouldn’t blame Coach Cal for ignoring Kentucky’s problems in 2008 when he coached Memphis.

@dylans That is surprising given Roy’s uptempo style

@wissox Based on what I’ve read I believe smilin’ Ted Owens was a bad coach who was carried by Wilt for a couple years then exposed when he left.

Can someone enlighten me as to Vaughn’s coaching philosophy? I know he coached the Nets for a couple of seasons but have no idea what kind of ideology or expertise he brings to the table.

@FarmerJayhawk I think JUCO years dont count anymore.

@BShark I’d rather have the big French kid but its hard to sell a 3rd string spot

@TYOHawk He cooked Hunter yes

Universidad de Cancun’s Jose Hernandez is in the portal. Bill Self is putting in work

Mama Mia! We will have to make him an NIL offer he can’t refuse.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Its not impossible but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. I was just thinking the other day about the fact that Frank is arguably the 3rd best player in Kansas basketball history. We rarely have seasons of that caliber.

@approxinfinity I would be very surprised if he, or anyone else on the team, were as good a player as Frank Mason. Luckily, despite what the irrational DaJuan haters will tell you, you don’t have to be as good as Frank Mason to be a good player.

Its a shame LJ Arnold played his way out of a shot at the NFL last season.

@DCHawker Remind me to answer you when we have all our roster spots filled.

@RockkChalkk I think you can be suspended from the team if you violate the university code of ethics.

At least we just added LeRoy Harris III at DE. Is he any good?

I hope Darrion Williams likes having sex and drinking coffee enough to not pick BYU

That one Sam Houston State sharpshooter went to Indiana I think

I am rather tickled. Not quite as much as a peach but about as much as a tangerine I would say.

How many years does Council have left? It looks like he has only played D1 ball for two years.

@Woodrow ESPN is just going by who is on the roster now. But its not worth worrying about until after all the dominos have fallen.

Yes. It is very important that we are ranked preseason number 1. That always works out well for us.

Obviously this is the kind of talent you do not pass on, but how does he fit with Tre White. Can they coexist at the 3 and 4 together?

I would rather have a bruiser at the backup 5 for a change of pace. Flory and Tiller are already rim runners

I am hearing crickets about the Council and Lee visits

@BShark From what I have seen he has had season ending injuries 2 of his 4 years

As for Coward, looks like he is injury prone. I have no problem with taking a flyer on him but I hope he is not a projected starter
