Why recruit hoopers from previous teams and not let them play to get a feel for the way we play.But instead you bench players for a guy who is never gonna sniff the NBA.Its no way you sit on the bench and see teams not guard KJ and say this is good offense.Juan isnt the issue he needs shooters around him and so does Hunter to operate.Get your head out your ass Bill

@BShark I vote and I’m about to retire with him unfortunately.What happened to the 4 around 1 that won you a Natty you would think that’s the winning formula.Instead of reverting back to this shit.

Flory is gonna be a beast next year defensively.I hope he learning everything about that left hand from Hunter.

Best part of Nick last year was his Dunk other than that I was sad

Spartan fans gonna have a hard time with Fidler all season like we did with Nick Timberlake

Not 1 lob this game tho

@wissox they did it was 8-10

AJ thank you it’s not rocket science Bill god damn

Get AJ downhill all I ask.This game sucks rn had higher hopes.Zach blowing them bunnies set us back

@jayballer67 Not saying he is or ever will. Just want people to know he is getting out rebounded by the only guy in D1 with 1 arm.I find that fascinating.

Take it what it’s worth Hansel Emmanuel the guy with one arm for Austin Peay Averages 6 rebounds while full court pressing with one arm.Compares to KJ 3 rebounds a game.

I find that fascinating a guy with one arm can get more rebounds than baby Shaq.JWill used to go for every rebound at that 4 Spot.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I literally said we need guards that can get a bucket and go back to 4 around 1 back to KU basketball because offense can only do so much with KJ and you’re telling me about another teams defense right now? Talking about offense

@BShark SIMPLE

@wissox Kentucky got 2 freshman guards in Rob and Reed who can get a score or make a play.We have guys who need plays made for them.Not enough PLAYMAKERS.Just tired of recruiting second tier guys this is KANSAS and get the best simple.Just go back to 4 around 1.This KJ thing get so hard at times.

Pains me to see Kentucky with multiple freshman dudes that can get a bucket and we got a mid major transfer who gets lost most the time.

I miss having 4 capable perimeter players around a big.I love KJ but the court shrinks because he isn’t on the 3pt line.Just imaging Hunt with shooters smh

Truly believe Furphy is the key just need another shooter with Juan and Juan to stop being a little b**** and penetrate and finish at rim.Can’t blow past anyone.Elmarko is a backup Pg at best rn

Guessing it’s not gonna be much 3s and playing fast this year

@BShark Lmaoo I been seeing everything I don’t think we’re fucked but it annoys me that the name Kansas doesn’t hold as much weight as Kentucky or Duke and we have to wait so long for commitments. Like why wouldn’t you want to play for an offensive hall of fame guru and play in front packed fans in the fieldhouse that will rally around you for the win plus NLI. But we still get second guessed like Do kids not want Rings and Wins.But do think we need 2 wings and a big idk about guard but Coach want a guard.Marcus Adams Jr the only offensive wing with game but he is a freshman and injuries or a guy not being ready happens we legit have no wings but him and KJ but unless KJ can knock down a 3 he isn’t a true wing he is an athletic baby Draymond. We are loaded at Guards with the freshman I think all them can go right away and be a upgrade over the garbage bench we just had.

And I heard you say Coach Self said Ingram wasn’t athletic enough well JWill definitely couldn’t dunk but could rebound and bang with anyone.I think Ingram does that with even better passing then JWill.

This whole transfer portal is wonky with what we want and need to what’s available to us.

@BShark Yea but At least K State better than Louisville which is crazyyy. They got 1 Pg that came from Juco who play all 40 min all 3 games so far.I know Kenny Payne wasn’t there but probably wish they have Bobby on that team rn.

Both committing on the visit is crazy but Mikey couldn’t do it for us

Rather Elmarko anyway so im fine with it

Won’t have to play Houston or Cincy since they coming over here he goes there to play Trash teams and hope he ball out. I’m a fan tho all the skills there

Nobody really wanted Mikey anymore. Mikey always played lesser competition going to the AAC a no brainer for him

JJ Taylor and Mikey to Memphis. Penny dropped some cash and tried hard for those

Not center related but Mccullar was the best player for us today in the Illinois Scrimmage from Jeff Goodman

21 tonight keep performing on TV he could get the fifth star

@BShark He went crazy yesterday for like 23

@Crimsonorblue22 Norm used to coach at St John I live 15 minutes from there so why not. I went to every Champion Classic at MSG since Wiggins year I knew I had to come every year energy different then you watch 2 games it’s sad it’s not here this year it’s in trash Indiana.When we played St Johns this year at they new Arena for they debut game in Long Island I was there that’s when Cb and Och both had 30 piece McNuggets

@wissox Nah I ain’t a former coach I been here I just don’t reply to everything I’m not a Kansas either I’m a New Yorker I’m sorry if I’m trespassing and about our mayor comments I just love Kansas basketball I hate Duke and Kentucky right with you guys.

@BShark There is a lot to work with idk how to save and put videos here but just go to his twitter page and see the video from July 17 the tools is there ESPECIALLY the last play

@BShark Don’t gotta be sold Och and Cb didn’t look like Kansas guards from High school tape. They were rotational pieces that worked to finally be starters who had a chip on they shoulder from being smacked by USC. Frank Mason definitely didn’t have good high school tape either. Coach Self really would turn nobody into something so don’t sleep on anyone who come here

Some of you guys be thinking wayyyyy to hard about these kids future I thought Dajuan wasn’t a KU Point Guard we got Chip with him. I see Elamrko and And Chris being 2 and dones that’s fine they aren’t staying 4 years or 3. Talent is there just a lil tough Self coaching then they ina league. Jamari probably 3 years but he tough also. But still 3 very skilled guards

🥳

@BShark Definitely is weird I rather 247

He is Currently on a Unofficial Visit until Sunday and According to On3 they like our chances ‍️

@BShark I almost cried when I found out he picked Holtzman over Self but happy with Jamari and Chris already having Chemistry together from AAU just like Ochai and Cb

🥳🥳

Real shot here. Still want Taison over anybody How can you not want the Adidas Scoring leader at 24 ppg. I know Coach probably still want Mikey because of the attention it can help with future recruiting and media. I know we all have our differences on who we want

@TYOHawk All the Guards are taken for this class Never say someone isn’t a KU guy.We give out scholarships like candy but because Coach Self believes he can develop anyone definitely proved me wrong with a 2 star in Och and Cb becoming First rounders but we had to take those players because recruiting was at our lowest But if a guy wants to Commit they’ll take him on the spot Mikey would be great but can’t wait on his decision he could announce next spring if he wants to. I really want Taison for the last guard commit the Adidas Scoring leader at 24 ppg over the summer. But if we can’t have either those 2 than Jamari then Gertrude the last option. I also see Cuffe transferring after this year because of no minutes in the future so portal player for us

https://www.on3.com/news/4-star-jamari-mcdowell-says-hes-committing-soon-talks-schools/

I been watching him since we offered recently because he played with Chris Johnson on the Under Armour Circuit.He was killing the last 2 sessions. He is undervalued because of the Under Armour Circuit Jamari really is skilled and tough and his ranking will surely go up.He is looking to visit. I think we got a real shot at him. Most of his highlight are on twitter

Also Elijah Gertrude released top 5 earlier might visit later soon also according to On3 also

@BeddieKU23 He wanted to schedule only 2 blue blood visits He decided on visiting Duke who already have 10 5 stars for the class and UNC who offered him after they lost GG Jackson. He have have relatives who went to UNC most likely he goes there.

@TYOHawk That’s Jalen Green little brother

@BeddieKU23 Yea I’m high as shit on Bobby with Self since the Michigan State game but at Pg. When Self speak high on Bobby he says down the road the next great KU point guard. Unfortunately who knows when his time will come because Juan will never explore the NBA because he know he isn’t a NBA guard but Juan made me a believer. Juan literally got blessed by god because CB mom helped him get the KU offer then Become a decent starter for a Blue blood. Point Guards with Juan build and skill set usually are elite benchwarmers at Bluebloods but I love Juan and we wasn’t a 1 seed without him helping us setup the weirdest luckiest set of unhealthy teams we could of played. Creighton- No Center or Pg Villanova-No Justin Moore Unc-Banged up Bacot

Bobby in the starting lineup at SG A guy who never made a three yet and will be undersized. I’m high on Bobby but he is not starting this year. The best Shooter will start it’s Gradey job. We legit only have 1 other big body guard which is MJ.Kj is more of a gimme a couple minutes for Jalen at the 4. If KJ will ever be decent enough to hit corner threes consistently he can be a PJ Tucker type tough lockdown corner shooter and Injuries can happen anytime I scratch my head looking at the wing depth

@Crimsonorblue22 Correct.I forgot Jalen wasn’t starting the first couple games then Coach announced Remy wouldn’t start again after injury

@Crimsonorblue22 Juan started every game after Remy got injured. Remy started first game vs Michigan State.

@rockchalkjayhawk You took the words out my brain. Somebody gotta put the ball ina basketball and it won’t be Juan. Juan is lockdown and a elite decision maker. The Jalen and the 2 Freshman will have to give us the Wing scoring.

We play Indiana also
