Let's just say we land Mgbako. Where is KJ going to play?
@Kcmatt7 said in KJ Adams Discussion:
If he finishes at the rim at 75%, do we really need him to shoot 3s?
He's still enough of a threat that if you come off of him to double Hunter he's dunking on your ass.
They're going to pack the defense in if they play him at the 4. They'll dare him to shoot on offense.
@BShark said in KJ Adams Discussion:
Seen it mentioned that some think he will develop a jumpshot out of thin air. I really don't see it. I know he is going to play so it will be interesting what Self does with him.
I don't see how he can play him at the 4.Does he redshirt, or transfer?
Huggy knows better. I think he must've been drunk.
The apology:
@jayballer67 said in Oh No Huggins:
The radio host came back later and posted what HUGGY actually said was Catholic FOGS which is a compliment, that’s not what I heard
What's a fog?
@wissox said in Hunter Dickenson is a Jayhawk:
Hunter is very good. Seen quite a bit of him the last two seasons. Great touch around the basket, but can pop from outside too.
His footwork is impeccable for a 7 footer.
Stolen from Twitter:
Only 2 #Jayhawks in #KUbball history have scored more points in their first 3 seasons than Hunter Dickinson scored in his first 3 years at Michigan.
Danny Manning 2,009
Paul Pierce 1,768
HUNTER DICKINSON 1,617
Drew Gooden 1,526
Brandon Rush 1,477
Raef LaFrentz 1,473
Oh yeah....!!!
LOL. Maybe you all should reach out to the coaching staff and let them know he sucks!

@Jethro Are you still a DeShaunWatson fan? If not why?
The subject is LeBron, not Morris. That topic is on another thread.
Ok, I'm digging this guy. Wait until he's here for 2 years. Plan B if Dickinson decides he's too good for us:
@dylans said in Hope LeBron kicks the crap out of Memphis:
Hope Bill can control our new loose cannon better than Memphis did. Ja - just wow.
Nice way of digging the knife in. It's subtle so it's not really picked up as trolling- like a drip from a leaky faucet.
@BeddieKU23 He's a hell of a player. He's going to get better and better.
I've had a day to digest this, as I fully expected this to happen. And what I came up with is we don't have the facts. We think we do, but we don't. I'm going to wait until I hear from Bill. The kid hasn't even had a day in court. I don't think Bill has lost his mind. So, let's hear him out. Maybe there's more to the story we don't know.
Bill doesn't play- I hope he understands that.
Arterio Morris is now a Jayhawk.
Here's a good one...lol :

In better news, I really like Tyson. Man, that dude is very talented. And plays defense, too.
Looks like he's going to sign with us.
Adult Jethro says hard pass. Little kid Jethro says "give him a 2nd chance- he can shoot".
Here's the rundown from the ex:

That seems quite prophetic from 2022.
This was from 2022:
The Problem with Arterio Morris and Texas Basketball
So, why didn’t I enjoy it? Arterio Morris is why. Not because he did anything wrong on the court, where he led the Longhorns in scoring, but because he’s doing a lot wrong off the court. Morris, you see, was arrested and charged with assault in June; he dragged his ex-girlfriend out of her bed and tried to literally drag her out of her apartment.
This is in addition to the litany of threatening texts he sent her, as well as a video he sent her where he was threatening her with a gun. (You can read more about it, including the arrest report and screenshots of some of the texts, in my season preview piece.) This isn’t getting talked about much in Austin because the local beat reporters aren’t pressing Beard and/or the Texas administration on it to date, but it’s pretty alarming and there’s more than enough evidence to merit at the very least an indefinite suspension. It’s gross, and Beard is ducking any mention of it.
The reason why Beard is ducking the situation was evident Saturday; Morris was raining threes and providing a major offensive spark to a team that needs perimeter shooting in the worst way. Beard wants wins, and he doesn’t seem to care who provides them. (I give other examples of Beard not giving a damn about domestic violence issues during his Texas Tech tenure in the aforementioned season preview, if you’re interested.)
Arterio has quite a checkered history. Do we want this at KU?

I got a new one for you: Juan/ El Marko / Timberlake / Adams / KJ.

@wissox said in KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread:
Funny thing is I do want the michigan kid to play for KU even if he's a big oaf. The dude can play and will help us win some games next year. I just wish I hadn't seen so much of the bad side of him. Like if he ever walked into any arena with a ski mask on two days after a lunatic gunned down Michigan State students I think you'd understand. Giving opponents bulletin board material by calling them scumbags is more evidence of his doofusry. Hold my nose and watch him play for us? I guess.
When we first started recruiting him, it was a hard pass for me. I softened up after looking at his stats, and watching his footwork. If he had the tiniest amount of humility, I would feel much better. We normally don't look at guys with that type personality.

I'm fine with that. I thought everyone was saying El Marko wasn't ready.
He's a stud.
That's what I thought. Not understanding the clamor for Primo, though.

I'd consider that a waste of a scholarship. This has been as strange as Kyle Cuffe being a stage 5 clinger to the program
Yeah we will see if he even takes the visit.
So who is your starting 5?

@Jethro said in KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread:
Not thrilled about Primo. He gets a layup on one of his highlights where the whole team is on the other end of the court, they steal the ball, throw it down court to Primo for the easy layup. Never made it back on defense. I'd rather have El Marko, Chris, McDowell, really anyone than Primo. I'll bet he wouldn't get 5 minutes a game in conference.
Bad take. Chris is...not good. There are even concerns in his camp that he isn't KU material now.
At least we could blame it on being freshmen. Taking Primo could elevate Bill's blood pressure too much.

Got a hot scoop: we are going to have to forfeit every game that Billy Preston played in.
@approxinfinity said in Hope LeBron kicks the crap out of Memphis:
@dylans well put. Dillon Brooks gets in LeBrons face after he makes a 3, afterwards mumbles “i poke bears” in postgame, with dark shades on. Game 3, he gets ejected for punched LeBron in nuts. Now we know where he pokes them.
I despise Brooks. Ja appears to be a wanna-be gangster- a completely selfish player, imo.
@dylans said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@Jethro I’m beginning to get more curious what the actual annual NIL budget for KU is. As long as it’s unregulated go hog wild as one of the big boys. I do wish there would be some sort of “salary cap” or some better solution to promote equity.
We need a T Boone Pickens clone for KU. I don't want equity unless we're losing.
@jayballer67 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
With these others Schools getting involved now , Kentucky , Arkansas , Villanova visits upcoming think it's become obvious that Hunter is playing the NIL bidding war. Who is going to pay the most for my one yr. I know from an article I think it was Bossi wrote some time back that even though Kentucky and Arkansas had been mentioned but not likely Hunters landing spot -stating Ku , Marylan & G Town were the front runners. - -Now here comes Kentucky - - hence the NIL bidding war
Was on the Rupp boards and I guess Calipari flew to Michigan Tuesday and met with Hunter , Hunter saying they talked for like to hours , & Hunter stated Kentucky really , really wants me which inside means - - how much you willing to put out to prove you want me.
Some Kentucky fans mentioned and I didn't really know but I guess Hunter has a little bit I am full of myself attitude - -a center of attention type guy sometimes just kinda of wrong type of attitude and they saying hope that wouldn't flare up there.. - I don' really get it thought they already have the possibility of Oscar coming back - - They have Ugonna Kingsley returning & they have highly rated 7"2 Aaron Bradshaw coming in - kind why they neve or haven't recently anyways done alot. - - Got all this talent and they have talent on top of talent sitting the bench - -not enough basketballs -- makes ya think with that type of recruiting cancers in the lockerroom disruptin team chemistry. - -I stil myself think he ends at Maryland but who knows for sure.
He is driving up his price.
@mayjay said in Welcome Nick Timberlake!:
@dylans JCL was pretty cool last year at 25. Grown ass man who acc to some reports was very helpful in educating the young 'uns about lots of things including his software for athlete's finances or something like that.
We need maturity and leadership. I think the kid is absolutely perfect for us- he plays with a chip, and seems to be ultra competitive. Sorry, 25 is still a kid in my books...not a grown ass man...lol.

@BShark Oh boy. It’s gonna be one of those years huh? Where Bill leans on his security blanket players that don’t mess up while getting killed by athletic teams. Ugg. Hope I’m wrong. DaJuan deserves better.
The staff really likes Timberlake. Wonder what they see in him that you don't. What do you despise about Timberlake?
Unathletic. 25 year old. Kinda creepy having a grown ass man in the dorms. OAD that doesn’t move the needle. Most likely taking a roster spot and development away from a 3-4 year player that would end up doing more for KU in the long run.
I’m fine with adding transfers, just hoped for something more impactful than Timberlake is advertised as being. Given the cost of that roster spot.
LOL @ Grown ass man in the dorms. I think his maturity and confidence will help. I wonder if we lose Chris Johnson over the signing, though.

Conspiracy theory, eh? Nike sponsored hit job using their ESPN waterboys. This comes out as we are settling this case AT THIS MOMENT. F you, Nike. You too, ESPN.
Gradey didn't have a 7 footer playing behind him to make up for defensive lapses. Timberlake will have Dickinson at the rim.

Dropped yesterday looks like. What convenient timing!
ESPN can go F themselves. Super pissed about this.
