Jee where the hell is our defense holy shit

I think they're playing well. Tenn is just making shots

My read exactly.

Gut says we get the dub

F’ing TCU. Epic choke job.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Ku looks to be caught. Why aren’t they dropping the dirt on everyone else:

A lot of questions. Why didn’t they bring it up in the 2 cases?

Bingo! It wasn’t in evidence and the only reason anyone knows anything about it is because one judge cited pieces of it in a dissenting opinion on one charge. If it was really exculpatory (like if it proved KU was not a victim of the fraud but actually participated in the scheme) why didn’t the defense try to run with it? Something doesn’t add up here. The NCAA absolutely won’t get access to the full tape either. It even goes against the NCAA’s own guidance on the types of things they’d consider. This isn’t even evidence since it wasn’t admitted at trial.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Dearmon:

Ed Warinner seems to be the frontrunner as of now.

He wants the job. Badly. Don’t overthink this, Les.

I think I'd start TGF at the 4 tomorrow. Seems like he's earned it. TN can't throw it in the ocean, so his lack of shooting won't be as big an issue.

They needed something good to happen. Some guys are still slumping pretty bad, but we at least found some guys who will really hustle. And Harris definitely earned some more PT.

@BeddieKU23 said in Just win Tonight:

Kenpom has

KU #18, 33rd ranked offense, 11th ranked D

Tennessee #19, 69th ranked offense, 2nd ranked D

Gonna be ugly ugly offense

nice

Heyyyy TGF we ❤️ U

Ed Warinner seems to be the frontrunner as of now.

Garfield Lawrence already out. Only one that might waffle is Kam Grays. He and Dearmon were tight because of their Alabama ties. Chevis is going to have to close on that one. It will be interesting to see if anyone wants out of their LOI or transfers. Too early to tell on that front.

And now confirmed

Is being down 33 at the under 8 in 1H good

New one: due to family reasons, he may end up taking the OC job at Middle Tennessee. Worth noting this is exclusively a family choice. If Dearmon were choosing in a vacuum he'd stay without even considering.

@jayballer67 said in 2021 Recruiting:

Hmmmm , interesting. - -Read where another QB committed , out of Alabama 3 * - - 6'1 pro style name of Spencer Arcenaux. Not sure about this guy unless they gonna have him playing another position. Seems like we getting enough QB'S

Easter , Hawley , This guy PLUS our starter from last year, heard we have a guy QB for our 2022 class not quite sure why we would be brining in another QB - - Help.

Walk-on

OU just won at Austin. Maybe we don’t absolutely suck hind tit?

No, but maybe we are just the 5th or 6th best team in the conference this year???

I have us 4th right now. Which isn’t great but not worth a lot of the chicken little chatter

Just to note, we are in a 3 way tie for 5th in the conference right now. All six others have a better overall W-L record. We lose again and could fall to 7th, which is certainly something we don't expect in Jayhawk land...

On the other hand, we've had some home games cancelled and tough road games, so the schedule is supposedly more favorable the next month.

On the other, other hand, we've typically been the best road team in the conference, by far...

Yeah, our schedule has been brutal. KenPom has our SoS at 3rd in the country. We've played exactly one game against the bottom 3 teams in the conference. Say we go 5-1 in those 6 and it gets us to 9 wins in the conference. Plus home games left against Okie Lite and Tech. Then maybe can clip Texas at Austin or Baylor at home. 12 league wins isn't crazy, but I think 11-7 is more likely. 12-6 probably gets a tie for 3rd, 11-7 4th or 5th.

@BeddieKU23 said in Thursday nights starting 5...:

@Kcmatt7

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Wilson improve on his own, most likely at the direction of S&D coach from home?

Bingo. If you didn’t come from a family with means to get to a private gym you were kind of screwed. Or in Enaruna’s case couldn’t leave your house.

Harris probably won’t be a great shooter, but this staff is one of the best at reworking shooting forms. Garrett is a good example. From his freshman year he’s improved by 10 points from 3 and 34(!) from the line. Ochai has made strides each year. Shoot, even Doke added 10 points from Junior to senior year. Jackson improved throughout the year. And on and on it goes. They aren’t miracle workers, like Garrett isn’t going to turn into Phil Forte anytime soon, but kudos to them and Marcus for putting in the work to become at least a threat from 3 and a reliable FT shooter.

@jayballer67 said in 2021 Recruiting:

Missed this one I guess. - - Hey Farmer , did you or had you heard about this one. - - I guess we got a commitment out of a defensive end from St Louis Missouri Name of Cole Petrus, did you know he committed?

Just hadn't heard anything or read anything on him. - He twitted out on the 23rd he had committed. - -over Missouri , Memphis , K-State & Tulane, said brings Speed and Pressure, had you seen that buddy ? - -I just flat missed it

Yep, he’s a walk-on. Big utility type frame. Could grow to be a Sam Burt type or 5 tech. Should at minimum help on special teams eventually.

Likely resume at this point. 4 quad 1 wins, which is tied for 4th. 6 Q1 + Q2 wins is a lot. We’ve played 9 Q1 games so far, most in the country. Our resume is better than most think, even though I’ll be the first to admit we aren’t playing great right now.

And Tennessee lost to Miz. College hoops is so drunk they need a liver transplant.

Guess we aren't the only Blue blood losing 3 in a row - -Thanks Duke

UK also has dropped 3 straight

And down they go. dook falls to 5-5 lmao

Hurt just fouled out for Dook. Louisville’s game to lose now.

Will we even split against ISU?

Really admire your commitment to sh*tposting

I'm about ready to put Florida St. in the Baylor/Gonzaga category. They're absolutely DESTROYING Clempsen, 63-28 about halfway through 2H.

Also, KSU. Still bad.

They will give this KU team a game in Manhattan.

Lol

Man, we could've really used Carlik Jones when he transferred. 6'1 do it all guard. 36% from 3. Averaging 18/6/5.

Really excited for the competition in the QB room. I think we should add a veteran after spring (ahem.. Jace) but there's some potential in Daniels, Hawley, and Easters. Daniels obviously has the tools. Easters is kind of a mystery to me. Played in a goofy offense with pretty subpar play calling. Hawley had a terrific senior year and is a late bloomer. Might be most excited for him, tbh.

The good news is our schedule in February is pretty soft. 4 games against KSU and ISU, Okie Lite and Tech at home. Self is a master at in-season adjustments. We'll be fine.

2018-19 was worse sans Doke. They regularly got run

Which really makes you wonder. Two worst teams of the Self era in the last three seasons... If they don't add a guard for next year look out.

We’ll be a very attractive destination on the transfer market. Immediate PT with a really solid group of veterans. We’ll be significantly better.

Still have to get someone though.

It's the main missing piece. We will manage to have "enough" down low next year simply by the numbers Self threw at that.

Of course. First have to be a place where transfers want to go, and we definitely are. Then it’s about identifying the right fit among those in the portal. There will be options aplenty given the likely one time waiver. They’ll shake loose this spring and summer.

I agree on the covid piece. I also think the talent level is down as a whole, so teams that rely on bringing in OAD type guys every year will really struggle. Perfect example, we all wanted Caleb Love bad. And he’s been pretty awful all year. Shooting only about 30% from the floor. Between the zero off-season and downward trajectory of talent, it’s gonna be rough. What do Baylor and Gonzaga have in common? A lot of experience. Both are basically the same teams they were last year (obviously the Zags added Suggs and Nembhard). We lost our best two guys and didn’t really add much. It’s forced guys into new roles and there isn’t a lot we can do about it now.

If folks think Fran is bad, watch Cory Alexander for a few minutes. If you drink every time he name drops someone not remotely related to the game you’ll die by half
