Wondering who the 5th starter will be.
@AsadZ said in Well College Basketball is here - - Finally:
Today's game will tell a lot about this year's team.
I'm not sure that it will. Gonzaga is one of the few teams out there with a stable of good players in the post. KSU has a bunch of bigs but they all suck. I think KU could lose this game by 10-15 points and still end up being very good.
Grimes with a rough opening game for Houston.
Worst team in the conference but that's still a bad L.
LETS GO!
A lot @stoptheflop
Could get ugly down low.
@Kcmatt7 said in Revenge game:
Literally if anyone else were having this same season we’d be in awe.
But because Pat did what he did two years ago we want more.
He has taken over as the front runner for the MVP and it's kinda blasé for some people lol.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
Christien Hawks decommitted. Rumor is we recruited over him.
Announcement will be very soon from what I understand.

Hope this proves to be correct.
I will admit I don't understand some of the takes in the OP. Jalen is an average athlete at best for the P5 level. I could very well see one of Jalen and Tristan transferring out after the season. Basically, whichever one ends up not playing much. Hopefully the more optimistic takes are correct. I am hopeful for Braun and Ochai to take a step forward.
@jayballer67 Gonzaga is a bad match-up I feel. We also have a watch alert for the "kid that KU didn't recruit hard enough having a career game" in Drew Timme.
Honestly just hoping KU doesn't get completely blown out.
Swept by the Raiders. Carr has Spags figured out. Clown suit.
Without a doubt. Like yeah he's struggling at Michigan but it's an upgrade.
@ajvan said in so looks like Covid starting to cause problems with basketball already:
"If everyone masks up for a few weeks"...the virus will still be here. It's not leaving.
Agree with this. The issue is that it seems some hospitals are being overwhelmed again in larger population areas.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
We’re officially out on Mac Etienne. UCLA, Illinois, Marquette, Miami.
Been out from the sound of it, your wording reads that way too. Now I imagine Aidoo becomes the absolute top target.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
Made Sallis's final 8: KU, UK, UNC, Oregon, Creighton, ISU, UCLA, Gonzaga. Don't think we're much more than window dressing at this point.
Sounds like the NCAA thing screwed KU a bit there, according to Bossi.
I want Aidoo and Cuffe. :money-mouth_face:
“We’ve got two versatile players in Zach and KJ,” Self said. “Both will be very good players for us. They will be impact players for us immediately. We look forward to winning a lot of games with both of them.”
Clemence has signed.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
I know rankings are crap with covid but there isnt another athlete at 6'2 in high school that can jump like that. I don't understand the 100 ranking on athleticism alone
Very much want this kid and from what Bossi said KU has a shot.
Europe is locking down again right? I'm betting on that happening here as well after Trump.
COVID is just going to be a part of life, another nasty virus out of many.
Self talking today said David has been the best player. TGF up and down but we haven't had someone like him in awhile when he is on. Sounds like Bryce is on track to be the 5th starter.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:
Believe Clemence will sign Saturday since his teammate is Signing with Baylor on the same day.
Adams signed last night! Yay. Listed at 6'7, his hair tops him out at 6'10
Hunter Salis won't sign early. Glimmer of hope there, albeit a spec.
All Sunrise kids are signing Saturday I believe.
Notable hoops blue blood Nebraska picking up a commitment from a kid Friday that "wanted to go to a blueblood".

@jayballer67 said in 2021 Recruiting:
How about this Jonas Aidoo ? - -Any thoughts on him ? - -you think there is any possible chance we could land him ? - -looks solid only really true blue blood like the article says that on his final 10.. Might be one of those cases where we get in on the non rated 3 star that could go to 4 star and in top 100 that would be a real jewel in the rough.
Noted today on 247
"The potential growth of both prospects during their time in Lawrence will be exciting to see. However, they might not be the only frontcourt members of this class as the Jayhawks are in the mix to receive a commitment from four-star late-blooming big man Jonas Aidoo."

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:
They offered so assume some interest.
KU is very interested and in fairly good. The staff would also love to get Mac Etienne but that is not happening. Once he announces (Ill or Miami?) then I think Aidoo is the top target at the 5.
:hot_beverage: :newspaper:
That would really make for a solid front court going forward. 3 modern bigs in Aidoo, Clemence and Muscadin.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:
As long as both sign that's about as good as we can hope for at this point
Not expecting any issues here. The only big miss was not getting a PG. Aside from that, recruiting went about as well as we could hope for.
Getting blown out at home. Feels like the Chiefs have been teetering on something like this happening. Need to get guys healthy.
Early exit poll data supports this but yeah I'm extremely interested to see the full info.

Also, theres this.. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/trump-campaign-files-lawsuit-in-georgia-to-pause-ballot-count ↗
Trump and crew strategy: F with USPS, then sue when delayed unprocessed absentee ballots are allegedly processed after 7PM.
Trump was having mail sorting machines destroyed and driving home this narrative that mail-in voting is wrong. Then he wondered why he was not getting mail-in votes... Maybe he should have played it differently.
Looks like the Republicans are flipping some house seats. As always, perfect balance to insure nothing gets done.

@Kcmatt7 said in All Politicked Out? Election 2020:
I don’t think you can call Arizona yet. But Trump trying to claim MI right now is ridiculous and insane. Even more insane than calling PA and GA for himself
That tweet was gold!
@BeddieKU23 said in KenPom Rankings:
We shall see.
Purple kitties at 113. Oklahoma St at 33 is drinking the Cunningham kool-aid
Texas top 10 is another one where...I'll believe it when I see it.
Wisconsin is looking pretty good.
Strong ass league, aside from KSuck.
Did Michigan and Wisconsin save America?
@FarmerJayhawk what site are you using to see 233-232? I have a few up and none are calling that many yet.
Lot's of CB is a badass baller smoke right now. Definitely seems like he has secured a starting spot.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:
Top 20 PF Collins ends up at UK, no surprise there after the flurry of CB picks that way.
Jai Lucas promoted to an assistant shortly before this, with another coach getting demoted. LOL.

Yessss

Wow Texas Tech just got Matt McClung's transfer waiver approved.
Don't think this is a kid you win with. Will test Beard.
