@rockchalkjayhawk he's never settled down, man. I'll just get this out of the way right now, I know that he could come back for a fifth year if he so chose, but god I hope that he doesn't. Not with who we have coming back and who we have coming in - not to mention who else we might be able to sign.

Is it fair to say Clemence has the nicest looking form on his shot on the team this year?
Dude’s gotta play.
Undoubtedly.
@BeddieKU23 said in NIL KU merchandise:
Cool new feature with the NIL.
Just bought the Bobby P!
Ya down wit Bobby P? Yeah, you know me! Lol
@drgnslayr man, don't get me started on Dave again. I was in the doghouse here for awhile the last time. 🐕 ruff!
@BShark Bobby and Zach are future NBAers, they have to play. Adams needs to play too imo
@BeddieKU23 said in Stony Brook Game Thread:
Good game to get freshman minutes. P was really good last night for the most part. His change of direction speed is filthy
No doubt.. And how can Clemence not play more in every game?
@BeddieKU23 gee, think Och's decision to come back was a good one? He's shredding it!
@DanR Och Dog!
@jayballer67 yeah, he's rebounding, passing and has a nose for ball but has not been looking for his shot enough imo
@jayballer67 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
I think this kid is 2022 but might be 2023 don't remember seeing the year in Article. - -Jeremiah Johnson the # 1 ranked player in Oklahoma talking about recruitment # 35 player overall says he has taken 2 unofficial visits to KU. Saying how he like the KU program that KU has shown alot of loyality by staying with him, said he is looking for a program / Coach who stays true to him Biggest thing is probably loyality
Robert Redford's son, right? Joke.

@Marco im shocked that 37.1% of people polled said they watched Hamilton on Disney. An estimated 384k watched the musical. I’m curious enough to watch it, I just haven’t because it’s not anything I would typically seek out.
Ditto... But thinking about it,, girl wants to see it.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Certainly an intriguing option. Definitely has more size the Harris/Pettiford/Yesufu so I can see the need
Staff definitely wants a bigger guard. I think that was the 5th signee they wanted that Bill was referring to.
What do you think? Give me Vegas odds of him signing with us.
Lol... That bad? I've actually been thinking that I might want to see it, stay in step with the rest of the world.
@rockchalkjayhawk I've never seen the Broadway play, just a student of history.
@BShark said in 2021-22 PER's & Stats:
I'd take Marcus on this year's team in a second. He could have gone back to being a junkyard dog wing. That said, great decision for him to start getting regular checks.
I respect your opinion, as always. Just don't think that Marcus would have fit in well with this year's team, is all. In fact, had he returned, we probably wouldn't even have a couple of guards that are now in fold. That's all I was saying. Was not trying to imply that Marcus isn't a player.
We're going to wallop Stony. Final score?
@wissox said in One year ago today:
Maybe if dueling was still legal we could settle it once and for all! JK No Hamilton/Burr theatrics here today. I messaged my foe and buried the hatchet.
Good. You are both important to this site, let's move on. Hamilton got a raw deal, but their rivalry was documented for years. When Hamilton posted that newspaper article though,,, it was game on lol.
What time does the game come on?
@BeddieKU23 why wasn't that handled before now? That was the guy with eligibility issues right?
Banchero only got in trouble because it was his car. We’d all be pissed if Bill suspended a guy for that.
No, I'd be pissed at Coach if he didn't suspend a guy. Banchero wittingly and knowingly let another guy who was also drunk drive a vehicle that he was responsible for.
"You get the blame bro okay, not me?"
"Okay, I'll do it.."

Good lord. K is really going full K his last year.
Going out like a weak chump, let the University handle the matter. That's that leader of young men that I was talking about a little over a week ago.
Jayballer67 no one saying that Mitch shouldn't play. Only that he play about 4 or 5 mpg is all - crunchtime minutes, when we badly need that loyal floorburn hustle.
@BShark oh yeah, no comparison, not even close. A little over halfway there now right? Qualifying?
@focojayhawk undoubtedly, and they play dirty against us. We need to get a little tougher.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Paul Rudd:
Sexiest man alive! We have such really cool alumni!
Paul Rudd... ? What, you see the new ghosbusters flick?
Anyway, play Clemence more Bill, please. Clemence and Adams once Jalen comes back to play his about 22 mpg are more than capable to play backup roles at both the 5 and 4, depending on the situation.

Guys I’m imaging Marcus starting at the 2 for this squad and now I’m sad
As much as I love Garrett, and was singing his praises long before most here came around on him, Garrett would make this offense really bad, even playing off the ball. Remy and his ability to score the ball was the missing ingredient for this team on offense and with Garrett, the offense would still have a lot issues with the ball sticking and going stagnant for long stretches.
Obviously there's a drop off defensively with Remy, but once Remy gets acclimated, I do believe this is going to be one of the best offenses Self's had at KU.
I was thinking Remy at the 1, Garrett at the 2. Garrett and Dotson worked well. Garrett is a very good facilitator and tbh is just a better Juan in a lot of respects. Oh well. A guy can dream. Marcus made the right decision for himself and I respect that.
I respect his decision bigtime, and wish him well. My observation? Great defensive player obviously, and he was a great asset to our team, but he isn't a point guard (the offense stalls), nor is he really skilled enough to be a two. He isn't going to stick in the NBA, overseas bound. There, I said it, now I'm done.

Marcus leave? 🤬 DPOY are you nuts? His D got him a job in the nba
Marcus - had he returned - would've hurt the team. Simple as that. He needed to leave. I wish him well in the NBA. I like Marcus, but his skillset would not be good for this year's team.

Btw, I agree with many on this site, Clemence needs to play more. That's why I was not a big fan of Mitch coming back. Bill is loyal, sometimes to a fault. Which is what was being implied on another topic post. Would I want another Coach? Hell no. But it is what it is, Mitch is not a big minute rotation piece...
He should be riding the pine, being a cheerleader. Yeah, he'll make a play occasionally, but he's been here six years! He's never been a player that you can consistently rely on.
I love that he bleeds Jayhawk, but come on..
Come on is right man. KU has never recruited Mitch to be a big contribution. They knew what they were getting when they recruited him, not EVERYONE can be those Mega Studs a point a minute. What Dave does is the things that your Mega Studs don't want to be bothered with , the charge -the block - -the loose ball - -setting the screens . Thank GOD the Staff realizes that While your studs or for the most part - -all they are concerned about is get me the ball so I can do y thing. Mitch knows he has no future in the NBA - -I'm quite sure he realized that some time ago
Teams - - -Including KU need the Mitch' s of the Basketball world REAL SCRAPPERS - Thank God Coach knows that , there is more to the game then just scoring and looking flashy. - - The minutes he DOES get is just fine , people who can't understand that then just don't understand the complete picture of the game
Stop! Enough with the floor burn, loyalty crap. He should hardly be in the rotation. Good god, you don't think that Clemence and Adams - and what about Wilson, he'll be back soon - need to play? A block here, a point there, I mean really? You bring up Jerod, I liked me some Haas. Mitch is not Haas, in any lifetime.
I'll take it a step further. I'd take Jamari Traylor over Mitch any day of the week. Not trying to be disrespectful to you @jayballer67 but come on. For this team to reach its potential not only this year but next, he needs to be a cheerleader sooner rather than later. Same reason that I wanted Marcus to leave, I wanted Mitch too as well.
LOL you wanted Marcus to leave ? - - ok that's all I need to hear that's funny Marcus meant so much to this team - - Ya a block here and a point there dam straight maynard , everyone has a job to do on this roster and Mitch does his quite well. Like you said to me - no disrespect BUT I think I'll have a lil - - just a lil more feel of what Coach Self is doing then somebody like yourself. - I mean a College hal of fame Coach making those kind of decisions EVERY DAY. Do you actually think he is going to continue to play Mitch period if he is hurting this team - -umm no he wouldn't. Nobody on this site says Mitch plays 20 minutes a game Mitch even knows that but for the back up spot duty Mitch is more - -much more then competent then to do that.
Plus where in the holy hell did you see me say ANYTHING anything at all in any of this conversation about Clemence and Adams NOT playing - -please point that out to me I must of went comotose for a fe minutes. - Like I said I think I kind of favor Coach's reasoning decision making just a teensy bit mor then yours - looks like he is doing just fine.
Yes, I wanted Marcus to leave after last year. We got Remi and Pettiford, Joseph - I'll take that over Marcus any day of the week. And that's not disrespecting Marcus, just the way it is. It was time for him to move on. Mitch should have too.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
He is a combo guard. Good skills with the ball, good size, good playmaker for others, solid perimeter shot. Not sure where we are with him since his AAU team funnels to Nike a lot. I found it extremely odd he committed to Pitt first go round
Banked, and now wants to bank again would be my guess.

@benshawks08 lol typo, I guess. I meant skill.. Wtf? How did that happen? I swear,,, I didn't type that...
@BShark said in Let's talk about Bill.....:
@Kcmatt7 said in Let's talk about Bill.....:
I think more than Juan vs. Pettiford, the more important trade off to watch is JCL vs. Braun minutes.
CB is the better overall player. JCL is a really nice bench spark plug piece to have and I hope he is in the 15-20 minutes range.
Agree, like JCL. And Braun is scrappy, we need him. Not in the Mitch way - Braun is scrappy at the right times, and changes the flow of games. Mitch doesn't, and never has.
@benshawks08 bro, I'm with you, and I've gotten flack for it. He's too inconsistent and lacks desire. He has accumulated some good games, when we lacked talent. We don't lack talent now. 22 mpg tops. Mitch 6 mpg, or maybe less.
@benshawks08 no, they won't. Will get beat up on the inside by a team that bodies up and has weight, no outide shooting.
What position does he play? Combo. Mmm, maybe he'll sign at KU. Probably not though.
@jayballer67 oh stop it! The guy is taking up minutes, we have players now. Clemence and Adams can already outperform him on the offensive end, and if they get playing time will improve on the defensive level. I know, you like the loyalty and all that, so do I,,, but he can't play. I mean, Mitch needs PT over Clemence and Adams?
He needs to occassionally come in just for a rah rah thing, that's about it...
In fact,, I'll say this.. I'm going to be watching Wilson when he comes back. In reality, it is about team afterall, right? If he starts jacking up shots and missing them while trying to improve his draft stock, Bill shouldn't hesitate to play Clemence and Adams more.
@benshawks08 said in 2021-22 PER's & Stats:
@Marco I'd say riding the pine might be a bit tough. I feel like his value is that most of the time he can be counted on to do the things Bill knows he can do and then not venture too far out of that comfort zone. Self can tell Mitch, "go do this" and then have younger players getting coached on the sidelines watching how he goes and does that thing. But yeah, 5-10 minutes should be about the MAX per game for that kind of role.
Thank you! A situational 5 to 7 mpg.

I love that he bleeds Jayhawk, but come on..
The offense and defense flows with Harris at the point, and I'm a Pettiford fan. The interesting part will be next year... Harris is not a future pro imo but Pettiford will be. Will they be able to set their egos aside for less playing time? Because both need to play. At any rate, if they can co-exist, we're set at the point for quite some time.
I'll just say it, and the D has been playing better of late, I need to see more... We're going to be playing a hot Dallas team and everyone in the AFC West - all of whom, like us, need to win.
Damn,,, we had a Mahomes sighting. Nice to see.
Great win... You know, I've always been kind of big on mascot names. Like how many Wildcats are there? Jayhawks, now that's a unique mascot name that KU owns. And while Longhorns might be unique too, who would want to be a steer?
