@Crimsonorblue22 more precautionary than anything

And for clarity I’m not saying Oats is a bad coach or whatever, the dude can coach his ass off and I’m generally a fan of what they do, though I’d emphasize defense more. They’re so high variance now that they can beat or lose to anyone, I’d rather be more consistent. Play better defense, get more good looks vs chasing 3’s. Nobody with a defense as bad as theirs has sniffed a title in the KenPom era. It’s abundantly clear you have to do both at a high level to win 6 in a row

@kuballin10 yeah the Miller thing alone is disqualifying for KU, we don’t need to scrape the barrel to find good coaches. To me that’s just one boundary you do not cross as a coach. It’s taboo for good reason

@kuballin10 the Miller thing was a giant stain on his character, plus he put his hands on an opposing player this year.

Comical

Oh wow Bama gets within 1 again and UConn gets another bailout call

@approxinfinity yuuup. Oats is a scum bag but Hurley is dook adjacent which is way worse

@Crimsonorblue22 probably because Enfield left for SMU. Might be good for him to get away from Dad too

Bronny won’t even consider an Adidas school

This game rules

Rising during Easter

@rockchalkjayhawk might be a big disadvantage for UCLA and Cal State schools to have to disclose what players actually get.

@drgnslayr I doubt he’s in college next year. There was some talk about him reclassifying but then they came out and said it would be a redshirt year 1 since he’s too young to enter the 2025 draft. Theoretically that could change if they decide to at semester or something but this is trending toward a normal recruitment.

@DanR if nobody gets tired, why have a bench? Just play your best 5 40 minutes a night since it doesn't matter? Rest is VERY important for athletes, ask any S&C staff in the country

Oh that’s a great add 🐦 View Tweet?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ

@Crimsonorblue22 not a fan at all. It was going to wipe out a bunch of local businesses either directly or through increased rents. All for a stadium that’s in use 81 days per year. The numbers were always fuzzy to the point of changing monthly. None of it made sense and Jackson County folks saw through it.

@Crimsonorblue22 yep. If Sherman and Hunt can’t afford their big projects it’s not up to taxpayers to finance their hobby.

Committed!

There's still time to vote no if you live in Jackson County :)

Caitlin won the Naismith

@wissox possibly! I also might just watch too much Big 12 😂

@nuleafjhawk honestly the whole men’s game has an offensive execution problem. There have been mostly stinkers in the tournament

@wissox and it’s a great double header! UConn USC isn’t getting near the buzz but also has two of the best players in America

I’m so jacked for the women’s games tonight

Matt Lubick is a big loss for KU. He was the brains behind the option type stuff we started running in 2022. But also super happy for him, since it means his health is good enough for him to take an on field coaching job.

So I hear we need scoring punch off the bench? That Wazzu kid might be it

@wissox very fair points. He also was an extremely fluid athlete that could walk on water and had an unlimited vertical!

Dook’s last 5 years involve a 13-11 season, losing to UNC in K’s last game, getting bounced in the second round, and losing to NC State. BRUTAL.

Shoutout Diarra who has to be like really, really thirsty but it still out there making FTs

I don't even care if he plays for state I love Burns

So this is definitely a meteor game but it’s going to really suck when the dook whistle takes over

@KirkIsMyHinrich sigh. On we go.

@benshawks08 oh, not at all! I totally agree with you.

@benshawks08 great point. Honestly go look at any star from the past. MJ, Bird, Magic all jawed at the refs. I'm 83% sure James Naismith got an earful from one of his students for a bad call back in Springfield.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:

Colby Rogers, Wichita St guard has heard from KU

Bench chucker role

@wissox oh gosh. It changes so much. No covid years so we don’t have Remy or JCL. But a lot of players aren’t in that tournament so who knows?

HOLY AGGIES

@FarmerJayhawk not so fast!

Well dang. Houston’s going to advance

@kjayhawks not enough yet way too many fouls

GCU Bama rules

Go Tigers

Go GCU

@approxinfinity even have my JMU shirt on!

Some duds here so far
