Made Gradey Dick's top 8. Florida might be the school to beat here, but I'm hearing some different things on this one. KU is always in the picture though..
oof
:eyes: :folded_hands:
@Kcmatt7 said in Jalen Wilson Interview/Podcast:
@BShark lol last years team with RJ would have been insane
Would have been on the team instead of Moss. Moss was a great pivot but yeah RJ is dynamic.

Some good stuff. RJ :'(
Near the end he talks about how the team is really just now starting to learn to play together better lately.
@stoptheflop said in Non-KU Games Thread:
@jayballer67 Can anyone explain why UK posters refer to Louisville as U6? Jayballer's posts about other message boards convinced me to look at Cats Illustrated/Rupp Rafters. Pretty funny.
Rupp's Rafters is premium content right now LOL.
1-6 Kentucky
@jayballer67 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
two things. - -One how in the hell is Louisville 5-1 ? - -Two - this is one UGLY UGLY game.
All the one on one - - forced , people just running over people / forced shots , ugly looking three's - air balls - dam UGLY
Before they got beat down by Wisconsin, Louisville played powerhouses like Evansville, Prarie View A&M, SHU and WKU.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
KU in it for Nick Smith high 4 star guard. #27.
Norm on the lead here.
Norm is workin lately. Not sure KU has a great shot here but he is a great talent. Seems like Auburn is the favorite.
Friend of mine in Wichita had his dog stolen last night. Sad. Praying the dog will be found.
@jayballer67 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
I was stunned after the game last night. - -made my regular run to WV site and much to my surprise - - there was only ONE fan bitching about the referees dam that's a 1st lol
WVU fans are mostly decent. Honestly pleasant interactions with them for the most part.

This is worth your time if this subject interests you.
@tis4tim Yep.
You never truly know how things will go until kids get on campus but I love what I've read (and heard in the case of Zach) about the incoming kids. Curry there just isn't much info on in comparison which is the only reason I didn't mention him.
With some recruits you knew they would be trouble and were just hoping Bill could mitigate the damage like Preston.
@BeddieKU23 @Crimsonorblue22 Yeah I don't think Diallo was a bad kid but of course it was a super shady recruitment involving handlers. The less of those the better!
Saw another video with Cuffe and interestingly he mentioned he had decided on KU about 2.5-3 weeks before announcing. I knew that Jayhawk cake he had was too good to have been made on short notice. :face_with_tears_of_joy:
@BeddieKU23 said in High Character and Work Ethic Recruits:
A change for the best!
I'm sure we could dig up old posts talking about this
Hopefully Self got fed up with how the Vick and Silvio situations ended up.
@COHawk said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Missed the start so didn't know if anything was mentioned then. Where was Tyon last night?
Next to Jossell and Gethro.
Just not ready yet for a game like that. Hopefully he can get there.
How good was Dave tonight? Well Mitch played 8 minutes and KU was -9 while Mitch was out there. Best game I've seen Dave play just in the sense of how under control he looked. Made a lot of good passes. Hopefully this continues..
@BeddieKU23 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Yeah when we make them. This was an A- game. We get more of those and we good
I think it should be the offensive focus. KU was only slightly above their season average today. Just don't have a post player that you can have get a bucket whenever you need it.
There will be colder games, but I still think 40% of shots being threes is a solid idea. Today was some insane percentage of the shots.
@BeddieKU23 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
This was a coached up win. The 3s were a bonus to this team getting 3 days of practice to lock in
Got a glimpse of the offense tonight. Do think we will have to lean on threes this year.
@BShark said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Sounds like he plans to be here for awhile. "That's the next four years of my life".
This video @RockChalkinTexas
Great kid. Great job by the staff to land him as well.
Billanova has been unleashed @Crimsonorblue22 !!
@Kcmatt7 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
This team is very likable. They play super hard and are very selfless
Yep. I posted a thread in the recruiting section and while you can't assure this will continue, it seems like a trait the staff is valuing lately... Not sure how much of it is luck. Like for example we pivoted to KJ (tough kid, total grinder) after losing KB to Baylor.
Not sure if this is a purposeful change in recruiting but something I noticed in the last few classes. Haven't seen a single bad thing said about KJ, Cuffe or Clemence. Bryce, Braun, Jalen, Harris etc...
@DanR said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Vick had some software bugs though
Bryce is sooo much better in this regard lol. Amazing kid.
MARC G!!!!
@BeddieKU23 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
McBride at an offensive minded school would be deadly
Imagine what he would do under Bill lol
@RockChalkinTexas I like him and want him to play. Think we need him to reach full potential. This is how Bill operates though, for better or worse.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Why are they still zoning us?
Huggy is too deep into the bottle.
@DanR said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Where has Grant Foster been? Forgot we even had that guy
Hoops IQ isn't there for a game like this.
@Marco said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Agbaji's game has come a long way this year.
Ochai and Jalen massively improved.
CB from Overland Park on that last one.

@Kcmatt7 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Pretty clear Bill doesn’t trust the young bucks to play offense against the zone.
I mean would you put Tristan out there? Tyon hasn't played one second. Big games show the true rotation.
Can't win with just 5 though
Yeah I mean, Mitch and Harris have played. Neither is an offensive threat but have a place in the rotation imo.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Did something bad happen..
Just an off the ball foul on Wilson I think.
It was a foul on Braun

@BeddieKU23 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
The media needs to get their crap together with 2 timeouts with 2 seconds of play
I thought they had been turning team timeouts into the media timeout... WTF happened here?
@Crimsonorblue22 44% atm in this game. 39% on the year. We have good shooters, so this offense makes sense.
Bump
@Crimsonorblue22 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
I never thought Jalen would be this good!⭐️
Same. He worked his ass off this summer. NBA work ethic.
27 3pa for KU. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT
This game is all I want from Dave.
@benshawks08 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
When is the last time we had a shoooting contest with west virgins?
Never
@nwhawkfan Offense better. Rebounding against an elite rebounding opp has been an issue.
McCabe is a good player.
Bryce is the only bench player for KU to even attempt a shot.
@RockChalkinTexas said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
Have we even driven to the basket?
Really only Jalen.
