@justanotherfan Aaron miles?
YES THIS. I have no idea if he's interested in coming back to a college job, but if there's an opening for an assistant he'd be my first call. Might be the perfect replacement for Townsend if he has to go considering Miles's west coast ties.

So I guess my question now becomes , I saw/read that Hawley is holding off and will not be committing in the early period. - - My question is concerning KU and with us getting CB' do you think he picked up on the fact that we might be having other QB'S commit such as the North Carolina kid/Jace ? - -or considering us and then saw off TOS that there was a QB possibly rumor going to be visiting this weekend - - do you think it might make Hawley cool off - IF he was seriously considering us ?
I think he's just waiting to see how things play out. If we take a transfer QB in January, I think that probably means we wouldn't take 3 QB's in the class. We may offer a grayshirt or something but I think he's going to have better opportunities than that.
Same starters as normal yay
Here's what I got so far:
Holy crap Dave and Mitch have been bad. There's some hand wringing about who's been worse, but it don't think it matters. One needs to step up for us to make a deep run in March.
Pleasantly surprised by Ochai and Braun, especially Ochai. Seems like he's taken the leap we all expected after his FR year. Braun is a baaaaad man.
Haven't seen enough from Garrett to really evaluate him at PG. I think he's definitely better than what he's shown so far (partially due to health) but he did lead the league in assists last year.
I want to have DaJuan Harris's babies.
Bryce will get there. He's already shown he can really shoot it and doesn't have a conscience. The rest will come.
Can't wait for Tyon to get healthy. May be an after Christmas deal for him, but he's probably our best pro prospect and the one guy who can go off-script and make plays.
Jalen. Wowzer. I'm kind of jaded on offseason hype stories, but he really proved that one to be true. He's by far our best "big" at the moment. He's a tough guard for almost any 5 in the country, and has a really good skill level. Watch tf out if his shot starts to fall more consistently. He has very good form, just has to go in more often.
Gethro the GOAT

Update: can confirm Jace is transferring and graduating in December. Quite impressive to finish a BBA from Kenan-Flagler in 2.5 years. Also, will have 4 years of eligibility. Hit the RS trifecta: normal, medical, covid.
So you think he comes? - - yes or no ?
Idk if we'll land him but I think we'll be heavily involved. He wants his MBA and KU's b school is legit. Plus, big KU family. Beaty royally screwed up there and Les and co. will have to do some repair work.

We were probably the runner up for Cockburn. Damn he’d look good as our 5
@BShark said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Texas is dumping on UNC. Is this finally Shaka's year?
I don’t think so. UNC looks a year away. Their frontline is terrific but they’re too reliant on freshmen guards to be really good. And they can’t shoot.
Pumped for this Texas UNC game. Real test for both teams.
@tundrahok said in Calamari Game Thread:
Thanks for the heads up. Dec 3, Dec 5, and Dec 13 are on ESPN+/Big 12 Now. The big networks must not think Washburn, NDSU, and Tarleton State (??) would be big draws nationally.
Tarleton State! Billy Clyde!
@wissox yup. That was almost a remote tossing one for me
@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:
This team has a lot of grit. CB, Jalen, Marcus, Harris, Ochai all very tough. Marcus playing sick, you can tell he wasn't at his best, but still played big minutes and was okay. Give Bryce some more time, get Tyon healthy. Did Tristan even get in the game today?
For like 8 seconds, I believe.
Lmao we didn’t break 30% from the floor. 20-67 is 29.85%
Dub.
See title
Man. I think that’s a 3
Guys (and @Crimsonorblue22) I’m in love with these 5
Big shot D’wan
@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:
Mitch would get destroyed on defense.
I'd try Tristan or Gethro at the five. Can't be worse!
I’m also there. I love Dave but he doesn’t have it so far.
Straight up. What a joke.
Jalen is really showing out. Remember when the rap on him is he was just a shooter lmao
Jalen is legit our best C
We’re better than them. Let’s do this.
He is starting
College hoops is so much weirder than football without fans
If Harris plays as well as he did against St. Joe it may not matter
@jayballer67 said in Welcome Sydney Curry!:
Is Curry going to be able to have 3 years of eligibility for us ?
Yes. This year doesn’t count so he’ll have 4 to play 3
UNC’s guards are bad. Glad we got Bryce instead of Love.

@jayballer67 KU is currently the favorite.
oh decisions , decisions lol. -- on TOS alot of people saying things like they would want Jace cause something about redshirttransfer or what eve. - -if he did come means we could have - Easters , Daniels - - Jace & possibly Hawley - -might be to many
Can never have too many QB's. At worst you get one transfer if he can't get above a backup role.
oh no
^^^^ things you do, in fact, hate to see
One name to keep in mind. Jace Ruder, current RS Soph at UNC is likely transferring. Why should we care? Well, Jace is from Norton, Kansas (very much FarmerJayhawk territory) and I’ve been hearing rumors from around the Mid-Continent League that our boy is coming home because he misses wearing blue. And he got recruited over. Twice. But it doesn’t matter. I’d look for him to be a Jayhawk if we can open a spot this spring. If it means asking Easters to blue, I’m all for it. If he doesn’t take it, we’ll still have two true freshmen next year (Daniels and Easters). Comes from a great family of diehard Jayhawk fans.
@BeddieKU23 and I don’t think a very good one. I don’t think they have enough perimeter scoring to be more than a fringe second weekend team.

Yeah, around noon or so
Lawrence officially in the boat.
Which, if we get 2/3 of them, we should end up 7th or 8th in the league. Really nice work.

Looks like we got them both. Mbow would be the last piece if we could flip him from (presumably) Purdue.
that is nice - hadn't heard Lawrence name mentioned before had you ? - -Sounds like he would be a very solid PU - -and the QB think can compete not to far down the line. - -you don't think this effects Easters do you?
Yeah, I honestly didn’t think they’d get him 😂. I think Hawley and Easters will compete once they’re here. Sounds like they’re just throwing numbers at QB until they find a couple they like.

I’m willing to give the whole staff at least one more year. No spring ball was a big deal for this team. True sophomore and younger have probably started 60ish games this year. I don’t care if the ghost of Bill Walsh is coaching them, it’s not going to be good. Lets get in a full spring and fall camp, let the guys develop, and see what happens. If we don’t look better in a year, then we can seriously consider making a change. I did like the changes along the OL. Clark isn’t a LT at all, so moving him back inside was the correct decision. We obviously really, really missed Hughes at C. But it’s good for the youngsters to get all those snaps.
@Kcmatt7 said in Expectations for the season:
@BShark haha oh yea boy did I swing and miss...
Somehow still ranked 6 on Kenpom D 🤔
Last year’s games are still a big chunk of that ranking. It’s going to get ugly when it’s only 20-21 numbers 😩
Did Kendrick get body snatched? This looks nothing like WVU Kendrick
Lolz
Timme has 26/10 at the under 8. Maybe it’s not just us
Tbh Curry might be better than the bigs we’ve thrown out so far today. But really, I don’t know his academic situation but ideally we could get him mid-year.
Christien Hawks decommitted. Rumor is we recruited over him.

Hope this proves to be correct.
Would be terrific. I still think (or hope, anyhow) TGF steps up and seizes the job because he has the highest ceiling and can be terrific off script. But Wilson’s shooting (which apparently is better now) is intriguing.
