@BeddieKU23 said in NCAA Tournament Discussion:
If Creighton hadn't lost Pops after the KU game to that hip injury they would probably be a Top 5 seed. They dominated us
Maybe. They are pretty hot and cold with their shooting. Obviously they are hot today
They had 26 more shot attempts because we had 20 turnovers and gave up 17 offensive rebounds. It's pretty obvious why we lost this one.
@kuballin10 said in Lets go 3-0 on the new season:
@KirkIsMyHinrich Self will ruin it
New heights these last two years is brutal
He can’t evaluate guards
Gonna surround Peterson with some overrated dudes, run this archaic offense where we feed the post and never fastbreak
It’s the same trash every year and it only worked with 3-4 year system guys
Bill - you are done - please quit
I would say let Self keep coaching, but a shake up to the assistant coaching staff and a maybe a GM is needed to help evaluate talent and get the right player fit and roster construction. Especially if we're going to be so heavily reliant on the transfer portal to fill out the roster.
My opinion is that this team's guard play isn't as good as past Kansas/Self teams. If you put Mario Chalmers/Russell Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor/Elijah Johnson, Frank Mason/Devonte Graham, Devon Dotson/Marcus Garrett on this team, then we immediately become a top 10, maybe top 5 team.
Darryn Peterson is a good start for next season, but we will need probably a couple more good guards if we want to be a top 10 team.
Awesome game from KJ today btw. Too bad it was wasted.
Tyren Parker to KU officially
Alright well I'm going to go watch Darryn Peterson highlights. Have a good night
@SlimShaddy54 said in Ute came to the right place:
Can we just call it a Season and be done for the year ?
Unfortunately, no. The nightmare continues
@SlimShaddy54 said in Ute came to the right place:
@KirkIsMyHinrich I'm more excited about our Football period then this cluster F - - -
I am too. Although I am excited about DP next year.
I'm a lot more excited about our football game against Utah tbh.
That's a bad sign for the bball team. And a good sign for the football team.
@approxinfinity said in Ute came to the right place:
@kuballin10 in fairness to Bill KJ has 4 fouls. The problem is that Hunt sucked tonight
Also Storr was bad.
Hunter has missed about 4 easy layups tonight. Seems relevant now.
@DanR said in Ute came to the right place:
If I landed like that, there would be bones sticking out.
Prove it
Looked like he banged knees with himself
My eyes usually don't bleed during KU games.
@Zabudda said in Oh how I hate Kansas State.:
Hunter missed a bunch of close in. When you get a good look and it fizzles it hurts plus they can get out and run.
Hunter was 8/16 with 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. Offensively, he is not the problem.
@drgnslayr said in Oh how I hate Kansas State.:
It’s built to run through Hunter but he’s out on the trey line hoisting up bricks. But it finally paid off, he hit his first 3! Lol
It is designed with Hunter in mind, and I would prefer him down low, but it isn't like we have a lot of other options. We have too many non-shooters on the team.
We rank 352/364 teams in Free Throws Attempted per game.
We rank 271/364 teams in 3 Pointers Attempted per game.
And we are not a particularly good 3pt shooting team or free throw shooting team. The offense is just not very good. It is what it is.
Draeden Punt to Kansas. Edge. 88 overall rating. He is 6'7''. Had an offer from the purples.
At Mizzou, at UCF, at Texas Tech, at Iowa St will be games we probably won't be favored to win. But I think we have a chance to be competitive in and win every game.
DBs are my biggest question mark. I think Todd/Graham/Hurley/McGhee is pretty solid at CB, although I'm not 100% sold on McGhee. But I think we have some decent younger players behind McGhee. Safety, if the Dye brothers have to play a lot, is a little bit concerning. It would be nice if we could pick a safety up in the Spring portal in April. Same thing for the offensive line and specifically offensive tackle, I wouldn't mind getting another player from the portal. However, the cost of an offensive tackle could be pretty steep, and I feel good about our offensive line in general.
I am pretty excited about our defensive line and linebacker room. It's probably the best we've had in a while. We also seem to have a pretty decent kicker and punter. And we have some talent and speed at skill positions and special teams.
A lot of new players though, so making a bowl game and beating K-State is my hope for this team. I think they are capable of more than that, but you never really know how a season's going to go.
Rotations were questionable at best today. The long leash Bill allows some players and very short leash he gives other players doesn't work when you rely so heavily on the transfer portal. That jumper KJ took late in the game would have gotten almost anyone else benched.
Get Coit and KJ off the floor
I can't defend these rotations. I don't know what Bill is trying to accomplish.
@BeddieKU23 said in KU Mad, Central Florida next on schedule, part 2.:
Need a lot more from shak and Rylan this half.
Well good news then. KJ is starting the 2nd half instead of Rylan.
Jack Utz to Kansas. Tight End. Had offers from Mizzou, K-State, Nebraska, Colorado, Arkansas, Wisconsin, among other schools.
His offer list is probably better than his 247 rating.
Corbin Glasco just committed. WR.
Staff continues to cook.
I will say it helps that Premer is friends with Kaden Snyder and some of the other KU commits, but recruiting against Oregon, ND, A&M is not easy.
We now have 6 of the top 11 recruits from the state of Kansas with a good shot at getting Tyren Parker (WR) and a chance to get Ian Premer (TE) as well. Premer is the #1 recruit in Kansas and has offers from Oregon, Notre Dame, Texas A&M and several other good schools, so that will be a hard fight to get him in Lawrence.
I believe we are also expected to get a commit from Landen Anderson, who is a defensive tackle.
Kaden Snyder to KU. He is a 4-star offensive tackle with a rating of 0.90. Another Kansas kid from Salina. He had offers from K-State, Duke, Wisconsin and Arkansas. Really big pickup. The staff is on quite a tear with in-state recruiting and recruiting in general.
Never thought the football team would be keeping me sane in late January. Strange times.
Malachi Mills to Kansas. He is an offensive lineman. Had offers from Akron, Colorado St, E. Michigan, and FAU. He has an overall player rating of 86.
Good pickup. Can never have too many offensive lineman.
Most likely a linebacker.
Josh Galbreath to Kansas. A pretty nice get for us. He also had offers from Kansas St, Iowa St, Illinois, and Michigan.
@approxinfinity And that hero is FarmerJayhawk as my assistant, with me taking all the credit.
@BShark said in Mythbusters: Bill Self, minutes, and March:
We will get worse at head coach when Bill retires. That's just a fact.
No I'm a good coach.
Nate Sims to Kansas
Nate Sims commits to Kansas. He is a wide receiver.
My request to play Rylan and AJ more has aged well.
Need AJ to keep playing like this.
Refs are bad
Let's make the venue Phrog Allen Fieldhouse tonight
Good guys by 7
He moves like a 40-year-old dude at the Y who's had a hip replacement
@BShark said in Mythbusters: Bill Self, minutes, and March:
I'm not sure how you can watch the team with Dajuan off the court and think he is the problem.
I feel like the biggest issue for this team is a lot of the pieces don't fit well together. Too many non-shooters but also Storr doesn't make much sense on a roster with Zeke and Hunter.
Juan in a vacuum isn't the problem, but his weaknesses are magnified by the roster construction. There are a lot of good things Juan does that I think people take for granted.
I wish Rylan would play more minutes.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Other games 2024-2025:
ISU and Zona losing helps us a lot in the league race
Would have been nice if UCF beat Houston. They should have.
@approxinfinity said in KState game thread:
@KirkIsMyHinrich he can offend?
Judging by the comments I read about him from neutrals every game, he can.
Zeke with 24 (7/12) 5 boards, 3 assists. He is our best player.
Hunter with 25 points (12/19), 8 boards, 3 assists. His defense sucks but he can offense
AJ with 17 minutes, Rylan with 12 minutes and no shot attempts. Doesn't make a lot of sense.
How did we beat UCF by 80 on the road again?
@BShark said in KState game thread:
If Bill Self is serious we won't see Storr and Diggy until the under 8 of the 2nd half.
Mmm Diggy, yes. Storr I wouldn't mind
@MoonwalkMafia said in KState game thread:
Anyone know how many minutes Griffen got in the first half?
9
We're lucky K-State sucks and has missed a lot of open 3's or this would be close.
