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.

RE: Not Sure
Congrats on your retirement. I would recommend writing a book or learning a language to fill your time.

RE: The portal.
In what way does Kohl remind you of Nick Collison?
-
RE: The portal.
That can’t be true. People on the internet were saying Suemnick to KU was a done deal.
-
RE: The portal.
@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
-
RE: The portal.
I love how we are recruiting only backup bigs and not starting wings
-
RE: The portal.
Boy oh boy would I like to add a few warm bodies to the roster

RE: The portal.
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
-
RE: The portal.
Flory should start at the 5 but he can be a serviceable 4 for stretches as well
-
RE: KU Roster for 25-26
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.

RE: The portal.
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…

RE: The portal.
@dylans But if you gave KU athletics enough recruiting money they might build you a statue.
-
RE: The portal.
@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

RE: The portal.
The longer this drags out the more Duke is going to slither into this recruitment
-
RE: Jacque Vaughn... Thoughts?
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.

RE: Retired Jayhawk Jerseys
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.
-
RE: The portal.
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.
-
RE: Jacque Vaughn... Thoughts?
@dylans This doesn’t even take our 2020 team which probably deserves a championship into account
-
RE: Jacque Vaughn... Thoughts?
@mayjay I wouldn’t blame Coach Cal for ignoring Kentucky’s problems in 2008 when he coached Memphis.
-
RE: Jacque Vaughn... Thoughts?
@dylans That is surprising given Roy’s uptempo style
-
RE: Norm Roberts Retires
@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.
-
RE: Norm Roberts Retires
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.

RE: The portal.
@FarmerJayhawk I think JUCO years dont count anymore.

RE: The portal.
@BShark I’d rather have the big French kid but its hard to sell a 3rd string spot
-
RE: The portal.
Universidad de Cancun’s Jose Hernandez is in the portal. Bill Self is putting in work
-
RE: The portal.
Mama Mia! We will have to make him an NIL offer he can’t refuse.
-
RE: KU Roster for 25-26
@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.
-
RE: KU Roster for 25-26
@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.

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

RE: The portal.
@DCHawker Remind me to answer you when we have all our roster spots filled.
-
RE: The portal.
@RockkChalkk I think you can be suspended from the team if you violate the university code of ethics.
-
RE: Dam we have lost two really good players.
At least we just added LeRoy Harris III at DE. Is he any good?
-
RE: The portal.
I hope Darrion Williams likes having sex and drinking coffee enough to not pick BYU
-
RE: The portal.
That one Sam Houston State sharpshooter went to Indiana I think
-
RE: The portal.
I am rather tickled. Not quite as much as a peach but about as much as a tangerine I would say.
-
RE: The portal.
How many years does Council have left? It looks like he has only played D1 ball for two years.
-
RE: KU Roster for 25-26
@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.
-
RE: KU Roster for 25-26
Yes. It is very important that we are ranked preseason number 1. That always works out well for us.
-
RE: The portal.
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?
-
RE: The portal.
I would rather have a bruiser at the backup 5 for a change of pace. Flory and Tiller are already rim runners
-
RE: The portal.
I am hearing crickets about the Council and Lee visits
-
RE: The portal.
@BShark From what I have seen he has had season ending injuries 2 of his 4 years
-
RE: The portal.
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
-
RE: The portal.
A defense with him at the 5, Flory at the 4, White at the 3, Darryn at the 2, and Council at the 1 would be a wet dream for Bill Self
