Great result on the abortion vote in Kansas. Really telling too what America thinks of the SCOTUS decision.

What I learned from Arkansas fans (as they were hot on Johnson as well)- they think their home arena is better then Allen Fieldhouse. You can't make this stuff up
Their thread about this on the 247 board is solid gold. Musselman is better than Self! LOL
Talk about a fanbase drinking some serious Kool aid from a pond in the Ozarks
Arkansas borders Missouri. Rly makes u think.

@FarmerJayhawk LOL
@Gorilla72 I actually made this one. Thanks.
@Crimsonorblue22 Bit of a big one on the ballot this time too...
RIP
@justanotherfan 2 wings and a guard probably. 1 wing for sure. Of course if you can get it done for Evans, you do it. I could see looking at the portal for most spots. Especially since most departures could be up in the air.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Recruiting:
Don't think Kaden Cooper is a target. He visited Gonzaga & is looking to set up visits to LSU, Texas & Alabama.
Yeah writing is kinda on the wall. Compare how it progressed with him and how the Chatman and CJ ones are going.
Also, this is a good move.
Future Kansas head coach Jeremy Case will handle recruiting just fine.
@BeddieKU23 yes
@DCHawker said in 2023 Recruiting:
For those who follow recruiting much more closely, why is it that KU has zero commits in the 2023 class? And, seemingly nothing more than a "warm" with anyone on the 247 list? Duke and UK each have 5-6 commits or 100% predictions in the top 50. Several other schools have multiple top 50 commits.
My guess is KU only ends needing to fill 2-4 slots and will be highly selective. TECHNICALLY only Cam Martin will be coming off the books but I would bank on Jalen leaving, and probably McCullar as well. As mentioned it is a weak class, so outside of landing someone like a Mikey Williams, I could see the staff wanting experienced talent.
In addition to Mikey, some names to know: Chris Johnson, Taison Chatman and Kaden Cooper. Wings is where we will likely need to add some guys and 3/4 here are wings. Bigs are basically set. Dennis Evans is very interesting but I could see not adding a big at all. I think you take Evans if he wants to come and figure it out.
@FarmerJayhawk might have some more insight.

I am now actually taking Tang seriously.
I’m not until he wins some games. A 60th ranked player in 23 is more like a fringe top 100 in stronger years
Even if he is decent as a freshman, keeping him in Manhattan for 4 years with the new rules is easier said than done.
This is fair.
I am now actually taking Tang seriously.
Texas kept this largely under wraps but it's out now. Broke his restraining order in June and his ex-gf came forward with a bunch of allegations.
Hard to see him playing for them this year. Iirc the original restraining order is why Memphis cut bait, and we didn't really see KU get back involved.

@BeddieKU23 from your neck of the woods
Games played against ranked teams in that span. Bill doesn't :duck:
Seems alright.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Big 12 Expansion:
I would favor something like what happened with the Big 12 1.0. The Southwest Conference and Big 8 folded and formed the Big 12.
I’ll be honest, I do not give a flying monkey’s arse about BYU, University of Florida - Orlando (Online), or “baby vomit over spaghetti” Cincinnati. I don’t like those cities for road trips and they don’t add much to the competitiveness of the league in terms of economic value.
I also don’t really care about Wazzu or Oregon State. Pullman is more or less in Idaho and Corvallis allegedly is a real city, but I haven’t confirmed that.
So, let’s take the best of the rest and build a legit power league. Stanford, Cal, Colorado, Utah, and the Arizonas are a good start out west. KU, ISU, Tech, OSU, Houston, and maybe another Texas school works. If you can get UW and Oregon that’s even better. All the sudden you have a really good league.
Baby v**** over spaghetti. That is the grossest restaurant on earth. When I lived in Florida, there was a Skyline right next to my office. I tried it once, and it was horrible. A year later, I got talked into it again, and it was even worse.
Good to see this board has people with the strictly correct take regarding Skyline. Carry on then.
@Kcmatt7 Nothing is a sure thing but man 2020 was friggin good. I'd listen to arguments that it is Bill's best team at KU. 7 man rotation had 5 NBA guys and all 7 were pros.
Not sure Jay comes back to coaching but that definitely had to be a factor. It's getting crazier and crazier. And in this climate...Bill kept all his guys and added his top transfer target lmao.
@justanotherfan Yeah it's just...a big fall from Gatorade POTY, all the hype etc.
He seems like a fine kid, with some potential bad influences. He's a pro player, with the level tbd depending on the work he puts in from this point forward. This is a pivotal moment for him.
Not sure if we take a 5, but if we do he is up there on the list.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
K-St lands their 7th transfer in Tykei Greene, SG/Wing from Stony Brook. They still have a few more open spots.
K-St is likely to be among the worst Power 5 schools in Basketball this season. Their awesome fanbase can thank Bruce again
More scraps. But hey, you'd rather fill it out than not, throw numbers at it.
BTW, Emoni Bates to EMU. :face_with_tears_of_joy:
@drgnslayr He is extremely good at his job. Fortunate to have him.

Wow. Hell of a coaching pedigree for a HS coaching staff.
And yet you have idiots like this... 🐦 View Tweet
@Kcmatt7 Bill just won a title retaining a bunch of mostly non-star players who developed and got better so I'm never really gonna complain with keeping guys especially when they are athletic. He could end up like, a minus version of Remy which is fine. Gigawatts aren't there to a be a starter for Self.
@jayballer67 said in 2023 Recruiting:
Probably already been mentioned some where in here but Chris Johnson is going to be on Campus I think Monday - -and we all know Mikey is coming - -and remember the phrase let's get Mikey. Mikey likes everything. Soooo if Mikeys likes it then good news for KU lol
Those two and Chatman are names I would follow.
@jayballer67 A little
Nuggets are SUPER high on him.
@jayballer67 Yankees should get another title this year for sure. Incredible team.
@jayballer67 Vegas knows :eyes:
@jayballer67 It was clear he was going in the first round if you looked at Vegas betting odds. Was bet all the way down to +100. Also, he probably had a good idea it would happen since a lot of fringe second round guys including Jalen came back.

Hoping the Nuggets draft CB so I can watch him play.
Based.
Love the spots for both our guys. I can't believe there were people that thought CB wouldn't test well. He's going to stick around in the NBA. Really fits how the game is played now.

Thoughts on CB's pic?
I'm afrai there just no way Christan a 1 st round pick now. I think looking like 35 or 36th - -hope I'm wrong

We should play Kentucky every year, imo. At least 2-3 power house non-con games a year. Would love to add UNC into that mix now that Roy is retired.
@FarmerJayhawk If Bill pulls THAT ONE off I will be entirely on my bullshit on twitter.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 Recruiting:
Happy visit szn, Bucketeers!
Chatman confirmed, maybe Mikey :eyes:
For the crowd that isn't regularly on twitter I made this meme and it's poppin. Believe I already have some likes from Buckets regulars though. :smiling_face:
@Jethro Hope not!
Great news
@Jethro said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
@jayballer67 Bill made a calculated choice to not amp up the team for that game. WE had just won a double overtime game against 13th ranked Tech, were scheduled to play at # 20 Iowa St, #8 Baylor, and at #20 Texas after 'Tucky. If we amp up against 'Tucky, then we run the risk of losing at the Clones, and against Baylor, which would've put us in a such a deep hole in conference, we might not get out. Bill even said he didn't care about the game.
It was actually simpler than that. Bill was spending time dealing with the NCAA shit (trying to negotiate) and didn't have time to do much of a gameplan.
Jalen is back in Lawrence and back on the work out grind @Crimsonorblue22 I know you were wondering.
@NormRoberts They are not actually related per Eric Bossi. Super close though, and I think AJ's dad is Jalen's step dad or something like that.
All the highlight videos of course say JALEN GREEN'S LITTLE BROTHER. lol
