@approxinfinity Flory looked unplayable against Hays and Tiller was better in the Louisville game as well, albeit it was closer there.

Bryson Tiller really does look like our best big to me...
Should we have let Flory walk to Auburn? Is Samis the worst scholarship player in the Bill Self era? Many such questions are being raised.
@kjayhawks It is quite rare
Elite wingspan Hawks. This team can and will muddy games up. BAD BALL @approxinfinity
The schedule is tough but I think this is a top ten roster. We have Darryn and others don't 😁
@RockChalkinTexas A ton of budget cuts lately sadly.
@wissox said in Kansas State hate:
Gamblers influencing Daniels and others. Only plausible explanation.
Great minds think alike, I made a tweet about that in jest a little bit ago.
It's basketball season.
It was interesting to get the extended 2nd half looks at the team without DP. Obviously in real games he is going to play most of the game.
@Kcmatt7 said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:
Would like to see more Dawson this half. Would like to see Elmarko try to get aggressive here too
Dawson has a bad knee
Darryn Peterson
@wissox said in We're preseason Number ... 19:
We wouldn't have made the NCAA tournament without Hunter last year I think.
This is true but I also don't love this line of discussion because if he wasn't there the money would have been spent on other player(s) that could have been better or worse. The same is true of Dedric Lawson, who I'm not really a fan of.
@BeddieKU23 Yep. This was basically the worst Late Night I've seen and I was told that this will be the norm going forward. At that rate they might as well get rid of it imo.
That performance by the Raiders might be the most lifeless I have ever witnessed from an NFL team.
The back-up QB for Tech is quite bad. Huge drop off from Morton.
@kjayhawks said in 2025 Chiefs:
I know the chiefs lost a close one to the jags last week but the offense is starting to click right now. The defense and special teams are a work in progress.
Last three weeks they are looking pretty good. Rice coming back is massive. Smoke the Raiders please
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Ranking centers for 2025-26:
Zuby! Impressive
We chose Hunter Dorkenson over him 😊
Tech is on another planet. They likely won't have a close game in league play.
Do believe they considered letting him walk. Contacted several portal bigs and got a feel for price/value. Ultimately decided to take him back vs other options.
@Jhawk69 said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Can Adkins shoot, drive, handle the ball, and defend the perimeter like Releford or Svi? Because if not I don't think those are relevant comparisons.
No. And I would add Jalen Wilson and Josh Jackson to the guards playing the 4 group not that it matters.
Adkins sees himself as a 5 man, fwiw: 🐦 View Tweet
One last thing and this will sound corny but it does seem like he really just wanted to be here. The NIL number I heard was quite low for a player of his ranking.
@ReggieKansas he's a somewhat more skilled but less athletic Flory type. Houston rotates bigs like this.
Not done yet...
Leaning towards no reclass announcement today
8:30 pm CST for Bardwell
@BeddieKU23 said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Sounds like the pursuits of Christian Collins, Brandon McCoy are going nowhere. Ariza is deciding soon between Oregon/USC soon. Just rounding up some names KU was linked with in recent months.
If Adkins commits Sunday as planned KU will have the #2 ranked class in 26 for now. Bardwell's decision today could sway this later on next year if he moves to 26 class. As it looks KU is probably done until spring you would think for next year.
So one person told me a spring decision on the reclass but another that I trust told me days ago that Bardwell would announce his commitment to KU and reclass all at once on Friday.
Would love to get Collins with being out on Stokes but bird in the hand with Bardwell.
@Kcmatt7 I don't think it's cope. When we all thought there was a real chance this summer a friend of mine said Stokes really isn't a Bill Self kind of player.
Nike got it over the line with Stokes yesterday, announced formally this morning.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Swain on 247 says if he does announce that KU was in a strong position. That's usually code for yes.
He's a Hawk, the heater continues
@BeddieKU23 said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Crazy times. Guess whatever we get from him this year is a bonus
Back up big battle is something to watch.
@BeddieKU23 Intel based position. Things can change etc
@Texas-Hawk-10 I believe Mbiya will be gone because of transferring out.
@TYOHawk said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Talk of us getting two more commits this week…
Billy Eugene Self
@Jhawk69 I'd be very very surprised if Mbiya is still around. Tiller perhaps more up in the air. Flory I can actually see staying, depends on his draft stock...
Officially a Hawk. More to come this week...
@Jhawk69 Announcements tomorrow and Sunday.
Adkins announcing Sunday. Rock Chalk.
@drgnslayr said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Says he measured 6'3"... and that's before he gets the "KU inches!" lol
Guess he is already recruiting Stokes and others to join him.
He acknowledged Vaughn in his decision!
The Vaughn effect is pretty real.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2025 Chiefs:
@BShark not smelling here! Worthy and kelce smelling great! D stepping up too
Might have something offensively when Rice comes back. RB position still bad (Ravens very very injured defensively up front)
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2025 Chiefs:
Dang butt kicker!
Something is wrong with him, wonder when it will come out.
what's that smell oh it's just the Chiefs level of play
@Jhawk69 I can't speak on the second part but he's a really strong guard with good speed and feel for the game. The ability to change speed reminds me of Dotson.
Strong ass week coming for Bill Self and Kansas basketball.
@TYOHawk 247: scouting report reads like a Bill Self wishlist and a fans nightmare 😂
@BeddieKU23 said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):
Trent Perry announcing Wednesday. Sounds very promising with him
Sounds like a "gritty" player. Not a guy you'd figure to contribute year one but who knows.
Death, taxes, Lance losing close games.
Rouuuugh half

Gundy is so getting fired
Gundy, Napier and Dabo. Dead men walking.
