Good news @jayballer54 the JTV games are going to be on local-ish tv.

That's channel 38 out of KC. I get it with my antenna and I'm just outside of Topeka.

Why do all of you suddenly feel we have Grimes now?
Because it's basically leaked that Kansas is the pick.

Isn't Finke a Top 100 kid? This is just strange even for going a different out of the box route.
Top 150 for sure, and Illinois wanted him.
BeddieKU23 said:
wow
I wonder how much the scandal is impacting them. ISU's very solid class has three players from Illinois, two that the Illini wanted big time.
Still laughing.
If Vick and Doke both return just fuhhhhgedddddaaaaboutit.

I certainly understand why we would get nervous, we've certainly been down the rabbit hole a few times with recruits we thought were shoe-ins.
Surprisingly I have been very confident with Q for a while. The staffs lack of movement on other recruits tells a big picture here. If that ends up being a key indicator with this one its always something to consider in future recruitment's.
Of note that Shaka/UT has made a big push for Courtney Ramey. They are not confident and never have been.
Oh look, CB point troll Dain Ervin flipped to Kansas. CB back to 100% KU.
Committed to Grand Canyon over Illinois. Holy shit. The kid is literally FROM CHAMPAIGN. I guess this is similar to Mitch Ballock actually.
Matt Scott just 100% confirmed it's KU. Party is on.

I expect so much more from Malik. He’s terrible right now. Drives 100 mph to nowhere. He needs to figure out how to play against length and equal athleticism.
I said it last year over and over again, Malik and Billy will test Self's patience. Not to toot my own horn too much or anything, I certainly hope Self gets the best out of them!
KU just got a CB pick for Grimes. Fully expecting a run there as it leaks.
@KUSTEVE Howling.
They were also worried about not fouling on defense.
@BeddieKU23 Yeah, the team will improve. I am also assuming that KU will have at least one of BP/SDS.
3 starters had to be replaced. I'm confident things will improve from an execution standpoint.
BeddieKU23 said:
Bilas says we are losing in the Sweet 16, might as well cancel the season. But Kentucky's making the Elite 8. go figure
Lol. What a twat. KU was playing with likely 3 less players than they will have in March.
Yeah, it's hopping right now. Then tonight :champagne:
Garrett did enough in the minutes he had. Would not have minded him getting more minutes and Graham not having to play the ENTIRE GAME.
@jayballer54 Hearing from too many people that KU is the choice. :grinning:

I am unhappy people are dissing Mitch so much. He was there, he played, he got blasted around, he was horribly outsized and overmatched, but he did make 2 nice plays that prevented easy inside UK baskets.
Plesse stop saying only 6 players. Or just give up the "team" concept entirely if you are so dismissive.
It is what it is he didn't belong on the court against UK. He played 6 minutes, so my guess is Self felt the same way. I'm sure he will play more against South Dakota State. He is a great kid that loves KU but was put into an impossible situation last night.
The whole team had to worry about not fouling, which never helps.
Doke is exciting. Can't believe he was able to play 34 minutes. God bless him. Hopefully BP situation is cleared by Friday.
KUSTEVE said:
@RockkChalkk I think you're right about us slowing down the pace of the game. We looked alot slower than normal.
Had too. Can't run at UK with 6 guys.
Yeah I really can't stand Dick Vitale. It's kinda weird because I do like Gus. They aren't technically that different, but Dukie V just annoys me.
It's November and KU always gets better under Self. Just focused on the important things today after KU beat Kentucky for the third straight time.
For sure. I really hope we have Billy for Friday.
Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes De Sousa.
Doke was more amazing than I could have hoped for last night.
BeddieKU23 said:
I'm alarmed that this version of KU is what we see in March. But if Preston does play at some point, De Sousa joins & Sam Cunliffe is at least serviceable I expect this team to improve as much as any team in America over the season
3 more players will help a lot. Insane to beat UK's top athletes with 6 guys. Says a lot about UK I feel...

Dude we’re going to sign 10% of the top 40 fat minimum this year. Simmer.
Hope u r right, but while simmering...
How many years have we heard THIS before?
How many seasons is KU away from no transfers?
Well, we've already signed 3 top 40 players and the kid announcing today is a lifelong Jayhawk fan. :coffee:
Here's the thing, Doke isn't exactly efficient unless it's a wide open dunk. Also with no BP he had to play defense in the interior almost the entire game.
Also, what @JayHawkFanToo said he isn't great at getting into good position. Plus he also is not apt to pass it back out.
Doke was a man last night. Had to take on UK's entire stable of bigs by himself.
FarmerJayhawk said:
Short answer, it’s a clerical thing with a temp tag on the car.
Great to hear.
Bill Self says KU spent all day trying to get Billy Preston matter settled. "I'm proud of Billy. He was a great teammate on the bench. Our guys will rally around him. But certainly it was disappointing — very disappointing."

It appears that Billy drives a Dodge Charger. So, at least a believable vehicle? Hopefully this crap gets sorted soon but I'm not hopeful given that it shouldn't take long to see who owns a vehicle...
Diallo is a terrible shooter it kept him out of last year's draft. However anyone can get hot so who knows.
@jayballer54 Almost have to run some zone d tonight. Kentucky is not a great shooting team either so maybe it works.
@kjayhawks All hands on deck.
kjayhawks said:
Maybe Self will hold tryouts? I'm a little concerned especially if De Sousa isn't cleared at the semester.
He almost has to now. This really sucks. As of now the suspension is indefinite.
@jayballer54 It goes back to some crap on a Missouri forum where they "had proof" that someone had a car from Scot Pollard. I don't remember the player anymore as this was many years ago.
jayballer54 said:
@BShark I saw where the car may be connected with Scott Pollard? - -so then the question arises well several questions arise - did Pollard give him a car? - that would if true would fall under impermissible benefits right? - Which would cause him being ineligible or dam who knows really screws the team.
Kentucky going to eat us alive on the boards Doke be in so much foul trouble - this could be ugly. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
That's a running joke...
KUSTEVE said:
Wow....unbelievable.
Actually...it's all too believable... :p
mayjay said:
@BShark I was thinking maybe he had a new Porsche, but had come to campus driving a 2003 Kia.
Is this speculation or is info out there?
KU might legit be rolling 7 deep until Cunliffe can go. Then hopefully add Silvio.
mayjay said:
Does "clearer financial picture" = how did he get that car?
Lol exactly. He said it was his car but obviously it wasn't.
This could be a long term issue. Save us Silvio.
