Really isn't going to let it go
He probably should have just pulled up awhile ago but I am 99% sure I heard the exact same rumor he did (I didn't put it out publicly lol) and there was something to it.
Cliff notes here on linked tweets for those that don't twitter
Remy is "adjusting, wants to win". NBA feedback was centered around actually running a structured offense and guarding, hence coming to KU instead of staying in Tempe. Dad felt he should have played against WVU. Knee good to go.

@BShark Bobby get hurt again?
Judging by how he looked when he tried to play, I don't think he ever fully recovered.
Remy warming up.
Bobby in street clothes.
Zach out there for warm-ups this time. First time since his injury.
We good.
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games:
They definitely miss him. They have looked no good this half against the giants in the lane
Both these teams are super good tbh. Both top 5.

Kentucky is very good, they will probably smoke us.
Pearl says hi
Pretty sure Kentucky wins this game with TyTy. Not having him or Wheeler for a bit was devastating.
Kentucky is very good, they will probably smoke us.
@Kcmatt7 said in Never too early starting 5 for 2022-23:
@BShark I am worried Bill goes away from the 4-1 next season. Despite his most recent best teams all playing 4-1. Of course he’ll probably make a FF run going back to the hi-low just to flip us all the bird lol
I'm not worried. In that...it will happen. At a minimum he is going to try it.
I can confirm that KJ practices predominantly at the 4.
ETA: I would also expect CB and JWill to start if they are back. This subject came up on the phog recently and some people were floating line-ups that could not score at all. You do need some scoring punch so you can't run out a starting 5 that involves Harris, KJ and Udeh for example.
@rockchalkwyo Correct. No idea on the details.
Claude to Xavier, not that it appeared KU was super serious.
@BeddieKU23 no longer recruiting Mintz fwiw
@BeddieKU23 Fairly confident in Dave being gone.
I could easily see...
Dajuan, Bobby, CB, Gradey, pick a big.
If JWill could be convinced back, slot him into that line-up over Bobby or possibly Gradey. The post situation I have no idea. All the candidates will be guys that played 0 minutes this season or close enough to it.

Zuby should be about 35 or 40, somewhere there abouts right?
That's what he is on 247
70s is comedy for him. Think he contributes next year. Gonna be a war for post minutes.
I bag on Remy but he can be better than this. Idk if it's still just a playing through pain thing or what but clearly he didn't have it tonight. I do wonder if he even plays tonight if not for the HEARINGS :trade_mark: probably not is my guess. I still think a healthy Remy does help this team.
This team struggles to get easy baskets is I think the biggest thing with the hot/cold stuff. They had that 2 pts in 8 minutes stretch and still had 33 in the half due to 19 in 6 and a half minutes to end the game.
Speaking of which, closers close which CB and Och certainly did tonight. Thankfully it appears Och's wrist is okay.
Thank goodness JWill had his come to Jesus moment and got out of his own head. Dreadful to think where we would be in league play if he wasn't playing so well. The thought process has been he would be gone after this year but honestly if MJ Rice isn't going to show up I'd try to recruit him back. A lot of his mental struggles and other things that happened were as I understand it because he was sad about his NBA feedback (basically: you aren't an NBA player) and wouldn't it be something if he decided to ride it out in Lawrence.
JCL...yikes... Like I said in the game thread there is a reason he hasn't been on a winning team until now. Brutal stretch that led to the first OU run when Och was out.
Dave was fine tonight by and large, especially considering it was a tough match-up for him defensively.
Mitch has actually become...somewhat playable on offense. Still can't defend a lick one on one in the post though.
@Jethro said in BOOMER Game Thread:
@jayballer67 He had 3 shots where the ball was in the rim, and it just bounced out. He lacks the quickness to get around people, and his small frame makes him a target to be posted by bigger guards. He is fine as a distributor, but as a main focal point of the offense, he certainly isn't ready and might not ever be ready.
I don't think he is ever going to really be able to put on muscle. Just hoping Bobby comes along a bit for next season and we get another guard preferably from the portal I don't think there are guys we can get from the HS ranks that move the needle at this point.
:writing_hand: :writing_hand:
@Jethro said in BOOMER Game Thread:
Dejuan was overexposed in this game. Got posted up, made numerous errors trying to drive the ball, and his shot just would not fall.
Shot too much is my main complaint. OU dared him to do so, rightly so.
This tracks.
Won a game where we had a stretch scoring 2 pts in 8 minutes. Bill on his bullshit.
Och had everyone open and didn't pass to anyone lmao
@RockChalkinTexas said in BOOMER Game Thread:
@BShark cb didn't think so
Yeah, didn't think he'd be the guy to do it, since it was his 4th.
Was that a foul? I didn't see it good.

@DCHawker said in BOOMER Game Thread:
Who was Jalen guarding on that last play????
Should have just got the rebound tbh
I can't even
Attababe JWill
They aren't guarding Dajuan, rightfully so.
That was a joke call on JWill, led to 2 pts for OU. Gonna have to grit this one out...idk...
Interesting foul on Jalen :writing_hand:
@DCHawker said in BOOMER Game Thread:
Sciambi is right. A lot of complaints about the refs, but there is a season long pattern. We don't get to the line nearly as much as we should...
Refs have been sketch tonight but this is not an aggressive KU team.
2-14 is not acceptable lol
@DCHawker it's a lot more than shooting with Remy but point taken.
Disregard my earlier first to 50 comment.
ref plz
@Kcmatt7 Like clockwork
