Also Bill having a footer who can score the ball at the 5 for end of game play calls is awesome.
Bill will always always always go to the post feed as a security blanket. So it's nice when we have a really good player there.
@kuballin10 Yeah. I think Furphy and Braun are probably 8-10 mpg guys
@kuballin10 said in Johnny Furphy anyone?:
@BShark Who plays less because of it?
No one really. We had a minutes hole there.
In terms of these games on the PR trip Jamari and Zach aren't going to play at all in real games. Both should redshirt last I've heard.
@kuballin10 said in Puerto Rico!:
@benshawks08 he’s 2/3 I thought and yeah he made one - same corner spot as before
Kj is the man. If he can learn to put his head down and drive right like Jalen he would be tough to guard. Freak athlete and his passing with Hunter and vice versa is money already - great chemistry and unselfish ball.
Hearing uk thinks they are gonna wax us which I find interesting. Their young guards are real good but curious to see how they do against our backcourt with Elmarko and Morris as athletes
Kentucky fans never learn. KJ was pretty bad in the first half I thought but then amazing in the 2nd half today.
Should be a nice depth piece at a spot where we really need it (flex 3/4).
I'm pretty excited for our guard play this year. Should be a step up.
@benshawks08 said in Puerto Rico!:
Anyone know if there’s a replay link anywhere?

@Kcmatt7 said in Puerto Rico!:
lol oh lawd. The internet did not need video evidence of KJ hitting a 3
We also have the 2nd one, which airballed horribly. Going to be a wild ride.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Puerto Rico!:
As good as our guards are, our bigs are just as bad
Overall not worried about Hunter and not taking much from this game but he definitely struggled in this setting.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Puerto Rico!:
3 and D for McDowell. Reeaaally needs better ball skills for his size tho
That's what will define how far he can go at KU.
@Kcmatt7 said in 2023 Recruiting:
I'm legitimately laughing about this. It's incredibly funny. All of the things about it are funny.
- Bill cannot help but fill scholarships
- Furphy on tape looks so much better than MAJ
- Furph was a hot commodity literally everyone wanted and Bill big-boy'd everyone.
- Our 2024 starting lineup now looks incredibly good again. I'm just saying that we could be on the watch list for a potential B2B championship out of Billy boy.
Also fun fact Johnny has the same B-Day as yours truly.
We started recruiting Furphy before MAJ left. Tells you all you need to know.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 Recruiting:
Money talks
Nah clearly he left his paying job in Australia to join the Hawks for free. #DukeLogic #KUBrotherhood
Furphy!
@TYOHawk said in 2024 Recruiting:
Duke still getting to pick who they want even with K gone is infuriating.
Don't rule out the BRUCE PEARL BAG here.

Things are looking good with Flory
I need this and a Furphy commitment
Adidas might have actually done something RE: Flory
Things are looking good with Flory
Absolutely love it
Just realized Bethea's AAU team. NEXT TARGET MOVING ON.
This is HEINOUS
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 Recruiting:
Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s Duke. Our biggest 2024 recruit is Hunter Dickinson.
Give me Hunter back and Queen or Ngonbga. I dream.
End of the rotation guy likely the 9th man but promising to develop for the future. Would play for us more than Marcus would have I bet.
@kjayhawks said in Mid summer boredom post…what’s your favorite KU dunk?:
@approxinfinity easily one of my favorite moments was @BShark drunk getting after @jaybate-1-0 on here haha classic
NO COMMENT
Women's world cup soon. USA looking to 3peat
Great kid. I looked into getting some inspirational pick me up videos for a friend of a friend's kid (bad medical issues, huge KU fan) and he was one of the first to do it and just all around super nice.
@TYOHawk said in 2025 Recruiting:
Was waiting for either him or Mikel Brown to get an offer. Think Rowe is from Columbia like Dajuan as well.
Correct he knows Juan and CB etc
@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 Recruiting:
@BShark said in 2024 Recruiting:
Ngongba is the best big in the class imo
Potential wise? Seems far behind the skill of Flury or Queen right now. Probably the biggest of the 3 and that's never a bad thing for a KU Big. Interested to see what happens here. His top 8 was a doozy
Yeah just my opinion on this one.
Top 8 is absolutely insane.
Aaron Rowe finally got his KU offer today. KU has uh, good connections on this one.
Ngongba is the best big in the class imo

STAY AWAY CALIPARI
Calipari doesn't know ball, we are blessed.

Bossi says a lot of things but at the end of the day he will follow orders and play the base. Him ghosting the board after how he handled the Mgbako thing doesn't sit the best with me.
Bidunga nearing a decision, KU ramping up efforts on Derik Queen. There are no coincidences in recruiting.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 Recruiting:
Honestly if we don't get Flory I'm kinda over this class already. It's so bad I'd rather hit the portal again.
Bethea is a stud. Other than him I am with you though.
@Kcmatt7 said in That's My Quarterback:
Imagine JD staying healthy the whole season, and the Defense not giving up 35ppg again.
8 or 9 wins and a Heisman finalist is a legitiamate possibility.
Would take.
@Kcmatt7 said in Lance is COOKING:
BUMMMMMMP.
Jordan Peterson on the heater of a lifetime with Dak Brinkley.
MASSIVE
@approxinfinity Just tuning in and checked on other matches. Seems like this is not a serious event for us.
Would expect KU to be done barring a shift now. "No one worth getting" as it was relayed to me.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Another important piece gone for WVU in Joe Toussaint.
Also Texas Tech gets PITA Devan Cambridge. Was committed to Oregon previously
Caveat emptor
@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Krissa also in portal from WVU. 2 big pieces gone already
Damage control time, they are announcing their next coach today.
Timberlake, Hunter and Juan are all guys that won't be drafted but are really freaking good college players. Kevin too, probably.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Tre Mitchell the first WVU domino to hit the portal. No surprise it was him either
Slater already dropping Tre Mitchell to UK
Visit is already scheduled. Nothing to see here.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Upcoming NBA Draft:
Watching to see if any graduates go undrafted and could be interested in relocating 😜
Some STUDS that didn't get drafted. Happy for Jalen that he made it.
@kjayhawks said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
I heard he asked for guaranteed start and more NIL money.
That is definitely the talk. I also heard not entertaining taking him back was about not wanting to set precedent. Re-negotiations happen all the time, but don't enter the portal.
@TYOHawk said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
If he has that Braun athleticism he will contribute.
Kev is impressed :eyes:
@Crimsonorblue22 said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
Something not right.
Correct. But from talking to a friend of mine that worked at Sunrise who talked to Zach the other day, it sounds like his head is in the right place now. Bill is giving him one last chance, I hope it works out.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
@kuballin10 said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
@BShark Parker is not better than Udeh. He can’t alter shots and make plays Udeh can because of Udeh’s size and athleticism.
I bet this year Udeh produces more than Braun
@BShark wasn't claiming Parker is better than Udeh, he was comparing Parker to Clemence right now.
Correct.
Oh and @approxinfinity no one here. Seen it on other boards and on twitter. Parker will be a pleasant surprise for many, I feel.

@TYOHawk said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
The article recently released by the KC Star was kind of weird. His mom hinted he could redshirt and then transfer if things don’t go right. Also mentioned he was going to play the 4 at UCSB and get the offense built around him.
If things don't go right we'll be happy to see him transfer I think. Again, I don't see him as a P5 guy without him putting in just a shit ton of work. I don't think it is necessarily basketball skill holding him back as much as just not being athletic enough for this level of basketball. Only complete and total dedication to changing his body and how it moves will get him on the court at the P5 level.
Parker is better than him right now and I think it's kind of crazy that some people don't realize that.
This is definitely his last chance at KU. Even redshirting he will need to do things the right way, and show improvement.
@Kcmatt7 said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
I do not think Udeh is a snake. A lot of people in the kids ear. Give him a break.
By every other measure the guy was a great player for us a year ago and I really wish he was still on the roster.
I was getting a bit argumentative with crims. The truth is between how she was portraying him and a snake. I can see his point of view on the matter.
:snake:
