Can’t wait for these covid seniors to finally be done

KJ played the best game he could possibly played and we lost because the guard group is horrible

@jayballer67 I mean it’s a fact dajuan isn’t very athletic. Doesn’t take away from the fact that he knows and plays his role

Never speak of this game again

@approxinfinity IMO I always believed athleticism manifested itself via a combination of explosion, jumping ability and speed and dajuan has never really showcased that(always plays slow and doesn’t finish great near the rim). His gifts manifest themselves via finding the open man and playing good defense. With all the scorers that we’ve gotten this offseason he just needs to keep hitting the open man.

need that revenue can’t afford to be left in the dust with the big 12

Not taking much from the game other than Passmore and dajuan looked good and KJ looked like KJ, aka non spacing forward who’s a bad fit with the star pieces on the roster

@wissox said in Peterson:

That’s all well and good, but when he doesn’t lead us to a national championship and bolts for big bucks I’ll just yawn. Maybe it will be fun but I’d much rather know the next Jalen Wilson or Devonte Graham of TRob was coming! Maybe they are coming too.

This program desperately needs Peterson. We’ve been stuck with senior holdovers for the last 2 seasons and they’ve been incredibly underwhelming. Peterson has the potential to be the best guard in college basketball and the best guard in the nba, and he’ll probably be the face of the program in the NBA since Embiid is cycling out his career. You need upper echelon talent to survive

@wissox said in Peterson:

Embiid, Wiggins left college with a 2nd round exit in the tourney, of course Joel was hurt, but we lost a lot of games that year with them. Josh Jackson played on a more complete team with us I think and we made it to the sweet 16.

TBH honest I don’t care if he’s the face of the program for the next decade in the NBA. Does nothing for us.

The only way I’ll really be impressed if the young man is good enough to lead us to a championship. Maybe he is. Can Self build around him well enough? IDK.

yeah man I totally disagree. Him being successful in the program is huge for future recruits and for public perception. Coaches can point to him as a success story for going to kansas, like how they’ve used Embiid for all of the bigs recruiting for the last 10 years. Guys like Jalen Wilson and CB are totally fine NBA players but they aren’t needle movers like darryn might be.

Flory and Passmore we’re going to see lobs for days next season

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…

Team desperately needs positive momentum and good seeding. Avoiding Houston and BYU is a win

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

my prerequisite is that they have to shoot the ball but sure

@TYOHawk I guess Tyshawn got on X and told him to toughen up. Seems like a lot of former players are calling out the Charmin softies

Frank criticized the leadership on Twitter on Saturday. Devon had a vague tweet today as well. Safe to say the former guys aren’t happy

Probably sick that they couldn’t legally make money while dajuan is earning 6 figures to put up this slop

I’ve NEVER seen a KU team so careless with the ball

Oldest team in college basketball

@bskeet said in Lets go 3-0 on the new season:

DeJuan lost the Houston game by missing 2 free throws with 17 seconds left and a SIX point lead.

Today he had nearly as many turnovers as points.

Some unforgivable effort on the turnovers. Barely running back to defend. Horrendous

KJ played the best game he could possibly played and we lost because the guard group is horrible

I guess this is the poorest executing team I’ve seen Self put on the floor.

Hilarious given the fact that they’re the oldest team in college basketball

I’m really looking forward to seeing how good he can be next year.

Recruiting will see benefits in future classes because of him.

I don’t think some of the fans realize how good he’s gonna be. Next year’s class is LOADED and he’s at the top. We’re talking about a guy who might be the best guard prospect in the draft since Luka Doncic. The fact that he’s putting up 7 assists along with 30 points is insane.
