@patoh3 PASS

OK - it's GAME TIME FELLA's - - ROCK CHALK

@Jhawk69 thanks for the tip- -maybe have a piece of Apple pie, maybe lik them then lol/ Ya if we can get a couple of quality players to go with DP should be solid

@wissox That's ok buddy as far as me I totally understand. It can be kind of long drawn out sometimes lol.

I guess for me I like it still having been drafted by the Cinn Reds a long, long time ago didn't work out but hey still love the game

@wissox ya your probably right I can't remember for sure what year that was. I remember it, but I can't remember the year. I think we will at least get into the regionals -then just play hard and hope for the best after that. I think these guys are a group that will battle to the last pitch-- -they fall behind, they have come right back- They got me excited, great group of kids

They play tonight at Six on ESPN Plus

@nuleafjhawk lmao-- -tried Honey Combs -- many , many moons ago-- -didn't like them , you remember Honey Combs ?

@bskeet you and me both my friend. -Maybe we could start with DP- - -Hall- ----Dix--- - -it's a start

@MR11 Ya I would take him in a minute- --mercy. - -Found an interesting combo guard 6'6 Silas Demary - ove 37 % from the three and draws good amount of fouls on opposition -- averages right at 5 attempts per game - would fit nice with DP and they have him ranked the number TWO rated player in the portal at present

@approxinfinity I don't like apples lol

@nuleafjhawk Not so sure about that he will do more then McLemore-- -for sure better then Xavier Henry , Josh Selby , Alexander , Diallo for sure 100 % no doubt.- -Way more complete player then any of those. We will agree to disagree. Did any of these guys make the NBa and do any better then G league or very limited at most mop up minutes other then Ben ?- -don't think so.

I'm going to tell you right now Peterson will be good in the NBA from day one - -NBA body-- over all ball skills. He has competed against NBA players a lot already and to the man they have all said he is ready right now and has schooled a lot of them in things-- - you got the wrong guy on this.

Darryn ca lead a team to the Championship. Not only Jr's and Sr's - - Cooper Flagg is a perfect example, even though it could be harder as Duke over all Freshman Corp i Has a much better chance as a group-- Then Darryn with other lesser knowns

As a freshman I think he is just as good probably better then any of the ones you listed -only Jackson , Wiggins , and Ben might be as good as freshman Still think he is a much more rounded all over better then any of those mentioned

Be interesting to know if w have made any kind of contact with Lendelborg from UAB or not.-- -At this point and time they have him listed as the # one portal. 6'9 --240 forward Some pretty impressive stats

Or here is a Combo Guard to go along with Darryn- - -Silas Demary Jy good size for a Guard 6'5 195 Combo Guard-- -shot over 37 % from the three-- -- driver averaged 4.8 Free Throw attempts per -Wonder if w reached out-- Rated as the # Two player right now

@MR11 Their not sure he is going in yet- - possibility, which more then likely he is

Darryn is the complete legit package-- to bad it's a one year visit , but enjoy him while we got him, can't be mad at him

Does anyone have the Site " The Phog " that knows who Swain says we need to be keeping a close eye on a kid in the portal- - it's behind the VIP wall so don't know the kids name or position.- -Anyone know who it is ?

@dylans Think he is a classic troll and even at that the REAL team he pulls for has booted him out lmao

@approxinfinity that's what I use to find my times and date- --- -Really like this team

Yes approxinfinity you can. Been this way all Season--- at the least they are on ESPN plus, the rest of their games this Season are on there. They have like two games other then EPN Plus and that's only cause those Schools have their own network.-- When we play Nebraska it's on the BIG network and then Missouri is on the SEC network. Other then that they are all on ESPN Plus.

People ought to check them out - --pretty dangerous , w had only our 2nd Sellout of the history this Season 2,206 fans but they have been drawing pretty decent crowds.- They can beat you multiple ways -- never count them out. They play tonight ( 4/2 ) at 6 O'clock - check them out. The Coach has had the # one recruiting class in the Nation for Juco the last couple of years and like 4th or 5th HS I believe- - good team -- Rock Chalk

looks like a new name on the board kid named Corbin Allen- -6'4 Sg ehhh.

@nuleafjhawk couldn't agree more it already has destroyed basket ball. Like you said they already getting free ride, free room and board free education I mean hell . There is no such thing as College Basket ball anymore , just like a minor farm system for the NBA anymore

@Jhawk69 yes he did would be nice.- -think I would like to take a shot at K J Lewis too--very quality athlete

Just heard this, ha ANYONE else heard whispers, rumblings of this at all ?- ---A J Storr is coming back nnd that his girlfriend played a huge role in this decision.--Anybody else seen anything about this anywhere ?

Henry Veesaar from Arizona in the portal- --Any Interest ?-- ---K J Lewis from Arizona in the Portal from Arizona- - ---Any interest ? -- I think I would have to reach out for KJ if it were up to me .- Interest anybody ?

From TOS, the question was raised. With the players that have entered the portal , why are they ignoring KU ? - Poster answered -- - Portal is a week old , and could be because of the uncertainty of the Coach.-- Do we think this is valid point ?

Does Coach Self need to come out and flat out make it perfectly clear about his future for the upcoming Season ?

We got a really good team. I've watched most of the games maybe missed one-- -two at most.--- Thing is with this squad they make opposing pitches really work. they might have multiple 8-9 pitch at bats.--They two strikes they just keep fouling off working the count.

They just swept the # 8th ranked team in the preseason in the Nation Oklahoma St, even though Okie St has kind of been a bust.. They was predicted to win the Big 12.

KU is right around fifth in the Nation right now while hitting fifty nine home runs so far I believe , KU'S record for a season is seventy five, they will break that.-- They just broke their all time attendance record for a game at like 2,260 fans- people are taking notice , students showing up.

This team can win in multiple ways.- They for sure can hit the long ball at almost anytime- -they are dangerous one through nine , they can string multiple hits together, they make the other pitcher work deep in counts-I think they lead or close to the top in the Big Twelve in walks-- they for sure lead the big twelve in-home runs. Very exciting to watch.

They got a Non Conference game Weds night you need to check it out.- -Huge series coming on the horizon in three weeks K /State coming in for a weekend series. K/State is leading the conference right now I think they are 5 - -1 and our boys are 6- - 3 right now.-- You really need to check them out.

@kuballin10 Seems like Reed and morningstar did just fine when they played here hmmmm

@RockkChalkk there is a baseball session. -- Are you talking pro or KU?--KU college baseball is unde and older thread Ku is 8-0.-- now they are 23-6 , I post on there quite a bi trying to keep fans updated about the guys. Their really good

Read from TOS Rak ease was interviewed , and said he could return back to KU

Hearing now therre is a legit chance Bryson Tiller maybe considering transfer. -- Hearing that could possibly know something on Josh Dix in the next week.

Podcast feels that Josh Dix at this point should be our # one priority- -then even though Hall has some drawbacks still feel he is our # two priority- -stating that the kid is a bruiser, and he does get to the line quite a few times, something we have been missing these last couple of years and makes them too.

Hearing Florys portal decision was more then just about the Money- -sems to think there was a trust issue with the Coaching staff along with some other players feeling there was a trust issue.

Florys people was not happy about Florys development and also Handler said they were leaving the door open possibly to return-- - But really don't count on it. don't

So what's the latest recruiting of Josh Dix ?- -is he no longer an option ? - -I thought we were in on him pretty good. All these departures and then rumor on Coach sure can't help I know

@kjayhawks Asking, cause I don't know-- but does a lottery ( top 15 ) right lottery ) do they make more then two million in the rooie campaign ? -Sorry I'm not that aware.

@dylans I don't know how to use the block feature because if I did I'd sure use it on some here, I know plenty block me and that's fine I'm still here but tell me so I too can block some Dum ass

@TYOHawk Do we remember who Frank and Devonte both were recruited by BEFORE Coach Self started recruiting them.--Most of the Schols were those so called schools recruiting them BEFORE SLEF was mid major.-- Then you have idiots that said Self couldn't develop players.-- sure look like they became much , better players AFTER they had been here for some years

@BigBad I've ben saying for a long time other friends of mine- -not here but on the outside I've been saying how much the NIL & this joke of a portal has ruined the Game of Colleg Basketball.-- THERE IS o such thing as College Basketball anymore.

With what they have done with NIL and the portal all it is now is a minor league for the pro's hell half these kids don't give a flying F - - - about the School itself it's just show me the money- -they don't care about the name on the front of the Jersey. All it has become is a Giant meat market- - If your lucky and you land a legit player and win the bidding war---- -you might get a top Sirloin ( - -well done-- and if you strike out you if your lucky will get a Oscar Myer Weine -and not even a plumper at that

@Crimsonorblue22 Did you
think that we might be looking at our Foot Ball program possibly being in a better position then our Basketball in this current status ?- -I sure didn't. Our Football future looking bright our Basket ball-- -right now , doesn't look like.

Well with all these departures we have only ONE left to go --AJ Storr cause we know he is gone-- that leaves us with McDowell , Jackson & Peterson unless Petersons flips- - What a costly Season

@kjayhawks Were going to have many new players for sure, my main worry now is that we are going to struggle even getting Portal players at this present time because if they become of aware of the /coaching status and even the slightest possibility of Self being gone then it will cause issues bit knowing who the /coach will be they will be playing for..

I will also say if now just saying guys that if this becomes reality then whoever comes in as our next Coach is going to be in a vey tough spot following our HOF Coach He is going to be in a tough spot trying to maintain the winning history of the program , and then having to come in with almost having to construct a whole new roster.

Actually the Big Twelve should have two teams representing the league in the final four. Tex Tech had it and let it get away

Well our boys just completed the Sweep of the per season # 8th ranked Okie St - -11- - ---2. - -Two more home runs , now 59 on the Season and not even quite halfway through the Season.

First time KU has swept Okie St since 2009,- -And KU is now 6 - --3 in the Big twelve standings and 23-- - -& 6 on the season. , this is there best Big Twelve start since they formed in 1997.- - this team can muscle up-- -they make the opposing pitcher work deep , throw a lot of pitchs- -have un believable amount of walks , they power up , or just string hits and walks to score, they pit up a lot of runs- -ROCK CHALK

@Texas-Hawk-10 They had them- --They had Florida by ten and flat ass blew it

Wow whata game.- -KU wins their Fifth in a row, was out in front -- -8-- 2- -Oklahoma St tied the game in the Nineth-- 9-9--- and took a 11- -9 in the Eleventh- --KU- - wins it in the bottom of the Eleventh -with a Three run homer and wins 12- - 11 the good guys .- - -KU hit FIVE Home Runs in the game- they now have 59 on the Season their record for as Season---Think that's going to get broken.

KU now -- -22- 6 on the Season and have taken the first two of this big series against Okie St

Well I rode with Coach till the cows came home-- well they are all in the barn now so-- Now I think it's time Bill needs to go. This past season was a Costly one for sure, looks like we gonna be a bottom dweller if not careful. Cupboard is BARE

Mercy NY has hit NINE home runs today and just curb stomping Milwaukee-- -20 -6 in the top of the eight. Judge has hit three home runs and eight RBI''
sS

@kuballin10 Agree, I'm still behind Coach BUT I do agree this time however. Ideally, who wouldn't want the perfect player, most the time your not going to get both.
. A guy that could and would be able to drive the ball , hit pull ups , and be able to also be quite capable of being able to drain the three. Unfortunately , those are pretty far and few in-between that are capable of doing all that AND playing really good
defense too.

Unless you are lucky and one falls into your lap then it's more likely to be a case of pick your poison, A really good defensive stopper or a really good Scorer , offensive threat So if or a rabid fan or Coach Self you just have to close your eyes and let it go, where the kid lacks in one area then he makes up for in another kinda off sets. hope the kid plays good enough defense that it's at least passable.

Well the guys got it rolling again, Three game winning streak. Took the first game in a HUGE series Beating Oklahoma State -- -5- ---2 , the guys are now 21- - ---& 6 on the Season- -Gerat job guys

Josh Dix has done pretty well against top ken pom-- shooting wise anyways.-- He has sixty eight games played against top one hundred ken pom and shot 42 % from the three -- -Against top fifty kenpom he has forty six games played , percentage dropped a little but not much he has 42 games played and he shot 39 % from the three.- - Kid is 6'6 good catch and shoot-- shot 63 % on corner three's Low turnover with the ball-- hope he is one we can convince to come

I guess this now becomes my question after this joke of a game.- ----Should College more their three point line back ? -twenty made and fifthy one attempted is just out of control- -Move it back to NBA what is theirs ?

@BeddieKU23 ya , that's what farmer was saying the other night

Has anyone heard anything about any departures for sure yet ? -- Kind of surprising not a peep yet

@Jhawk69 That's a tough one--- --- ummm I guess one or the other maybe Rataj

@Texas-Hawk-10 Ya for sure, that's just messed up --even worse if he just walks out before there season is over
