Aaron Estrada- Hofstra CPOY
Kimari Lands- Lands at Arizona St
I actually like Lands. It's very difficult to evaluate the Louisville guys because they didn't have a competent head coach.
Corrected it for ya. He was an intriguing prospect late in the last cycle.
BOTH ARE TRUE! lol

The Syracuse game is one that sticks with me.

@jayhawks2010 said in NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME MUTTERINGS:
But yet since 1999 they’ve missed the tourney 9 times, only 8 times made it to a sweet 16 or beyond, won 25 games or more only 9 years. They are the weirdest program to profile. Nothing before 1990s essentially. A lot of mediocre years. Couple great years, 3 magical runs to win a title as a low seed. Won title every time in the final four. I’d rank them fringe top ten historically 7-12 ranked. Always depends what category you favor on a ranking system
5 for 6 cashing in FFs for titles. KU is 3 for 10 in the modern era. :unamused_face:
@dylans said in Bill Self Presser Wednesday Morning:
If anything I’d say his timing is late - 4 years ago he could’ve had that Florida home for half that price. 😂 all is well…I hope. 😳
He bought a house in the same town in 2016. This is a big upgrade.
@Kcmatt7 said in NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME MUTTERINGS:
UConn will win their 5th Natty in 4 different decades.
To me, this cements them as blue bloods. I don’t really understand arguments against it.
Imagine if we cashed in on FFs like they did...
@jayballer67 D U K E
"Adding context to this tweet. Coach Self is holding a standard press conference on Wednesday to meet with the local media since he hasn’t in about a month."
"This is the coach's second home in this oceanfront town."
King shit.
We good.
28 unread threads this morning woooooo
Could easily see Cam in Norman next year.
I'm against a banner not that my opinion matters on it. 69th best team in the country woohoo.
@kuballin10 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@FarmerJayhawk I’ve won many a games leaving guys wide open who know they are the fourth or fifth best option. Mentally they know they aren’t supposed to be “the guy” scoring their job is to defend and rebound
Washington state let legerald be wide open at the free throw line at sprint center. He scored over 30 but we got upset
Best way to win is make the guys who’s job isn’t to lead in scoring to be wide open. Let him shoot 10-15 times
Someone text this to Self cause he doesn’t do it
Are you a HS coach in Kansas?
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread:
Georgetown is a sleeping giant. That whole university has a lot of built in advantages
I can not believe people were flaming Goodman for saying it's a better job than Providence.
They are not comparable. Ewing was just unfathomably bad.
Endowment wise comparing those two would be like comparing Kansas and Missouri State.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Syracuse is a dark horse here too.
@cragarhawk said in KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread:
I know we don't necessarily need a big... but I would go get Hunter Dickinson just because....
Bill wants a big. Hunter should move to the top of the board you would think.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Gradey enters the draft:
the NBA and union have tabled the minimum age thing, so OAD will continue for the foreseeable future
Ah good to know. That had sounded pretty imminent before.
@wissox said in Gradey enters the draft:
I'm with Nuleaf. Unless said freshman leads us to glory, I'll just think about the lost opportunities at KU. Although I follow their pro careers with some pride, I do much more the guys who we got to know. I wish the NBA would end this charade of guys playing college for a year before going pro.
As for you Gradey, go and do well, get loaded playing for some marginal team that will draft you and play in front of 10000 fans who are half asleep. You had the currently best playing situation in the country and you're trading it in for what now amounts to extra dollars.
Agree with ending the OAD rule. Some guys just don't want to deal with college at all. And I mean, it's hard to blame them. Overtime Elite is trying to fill that gap while the NBA waits for their next CBA. Some fairly mid level prospects went the OTE route.
Ultimately college is still a bigger platform than OTE or the GLeague and college did just fine when the Kobes, KGs and Lebrons of the world didn't play.
@jayballer67 It was never on the table. Kevin is, but not super likely.
Least surprising news ever.
@mayjay said in Oh jeez. Sorry to anyone trying login this AM:
I wonder if anyone actually responds to that crap?
Given the amount of people that seemed to click on the link with that twitter dm virus...
Hopefully no one here though lol.
@Crimsonorblue22 Heart issue!
@P-H-C It literally puts him a year closer to it. He will be getting it either way. So even if KU could match the money now he is deferring BIG money later by another year. A year at KU isn't going to be better for his development than the NBA. College comes with time restrictions and having to go to class. In the NBA he can eat sleep and breath basketball.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Old Jayhawk briefly Tyon Grant Foster has been medically cleared to play, in portal.
Jordan Davis in portal @wissox
Very happy for him. GREAT kid.
@justanotherfan My predictions for levels
MJ Rice - Power 5
Zach Clemence AAC/MVC
Bobby - P5 or Big East
Yesufu - higher end MM
Cam Martin - better learn Chinese buddy
Kyle if he leaves (and this is why he doesn't want to) - LM at best

Yes
So why did Twitter warn me that the feed contained possibly sensitive content? I was expecting to see people cussing him out or something....
Twitter just gets more broken by the day since the Musk buyout.
@justanotherfan The biggest thing is hitting his second contract so leaving this year helps him in that regard. I'd love for him to be back but I don't see it.
Yes
@Texas-Hawk-10 Bill be like "oooooh a short guard that can't shoot"
@dylans said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@BShark Why did MJ come to KU if he didn’t want to be in Lawrence from the start? Handlers?
$$$
Bossi also confirmed the Oklahoma State stuff. He almost committed there in the first place. His dad was talking to Boynton during the year. MJ never "unpacked his bags" in Lawrence.

@Jethro said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
MJ was gone a long time before he entered the portal. Wish I knew what really happened.
He didn't ever get a chance. Once he returned from injury he wasn't part of Self's plan. That probably cost us MJ, and may have hurt us in the tournament as well.
MJ wasn't too interested in being a Jayhawk from the start, unfortunately. I didn't want to post bad stuff about him here during the season but it was out there. Bossi had some interesting stuff to say about him on 247 premium and Bossi is typically pretty reserved.
I think an engaged MJ could have certainly offered us more than Joe.
@justanotherfan I think if it was an issue he would have stuck it out through the coaching change. Tang is an honest man. What I have heard from KSU people that would know he mostly that he wants to start and knows that won't happen next year at KSU.
SEXGOD!
Cam visited Boise yesterday.
@Jethro said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

CORRECT. I'll post some in rumblings.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Caveat being it’s a little different calendar last year but our portal stuff didn’t really heat up until May last year. It’ll be a little quicker this year since the calendar is different and we have more spots to fill buuut things will drag out for another month or so. Namaste
Remy and Kevin were bagged for awhile as you know. But they were "going through the draft process".
@ReggieKansas said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Jazz Gardner is a name to keep an eye on in the spring period he's a 7'footer from out here my way in Los Angeles. He's a freshman not a transfer and already holds an offer from KU.
If you would like to know bigs we are truly looking to add next season there is Graham Ike who played at Wyoming. They are pushing to get him for a visit next weekend. Then there is Jamille Reynolds who played at Temple. Norm was in to see him the other day while Bill was recruiting elsewhere.

Guard Posh Alexander in- St Johns. Avg double digit points all 3 seasons. PER tanked this year after really strong Soph campaign
Rick is CLEANING HOUSE. Which he is allowed to do since St Johns isn't P5.

Also Stanford’s academic calendar lines up with early April :)
We've been saying it. I uh, couldn't possibly wonder why.
@jayballer67 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Michael Swain was on local sports podcast at 4:30- - Says he too thinks Bill is very Serious about a Big long and athletic & a Wing. - -Swain says he doesn't expect to see any commits for a couple of weeks like after April the 6th. He said but I didn't hear why that date , but said it's going to be awhile he thinks for anything happens.
Recruiting dead period soon is why.
2 wings, 1 CG, 1 big MOST LIKELY.

@Kcmatt7 yup all KU homers. A couple bordering on trolls, but it’s just because their expectations are so high that they lose sight of reality. They constantly tear down the team looking for flaws to validate their fears, completely unable to enjoy the moment. I almost feel sad for them.
I can easily be in that group…..vcu and oregon both had me down for over 7 days. I was sure those teams were getting Self his second title
Could have easily done it in 16. Still upset about multiple fouls on Devonte.
