🏀 KuBuckets Archive

ya your right lots of rumors, go figure it's KU . -being saif his camp/ his trainers oe whatevr might have telling Coach rgat they agreed for him to dome to KU play in the har games but wouldn't take the chance of him playing in meaningless games,

My question statement would be kinfa weird hadn't anything before he came to KU about any kinda of problems dealing with cramps or leg issues- - --hmmmm.
Watched him play several times before he committed, sure didn t' miss anytime then again hmmmm

Well Kentucky fans upset now ,Sounds like Stokes is now going to Rainer Beach in Seattle they are afraid that spells bad news for Kentucky, afraid he could very easly end up with Oregon now Lol

Well - - - - -The Ladies Won. That's about all I can say, - Ugly Game , Ugly , Ugly game. No flow, hard to get into because every trip or so it seemed either a foul was called or there was a turnover - -hard to get into the game when a game is played like that. We won anyways move on and get better

@kjayhawks Mercy man , not sure what you been watching but it's not Darryn. He absolutely will be drafted from 1st to 3rd in the draft.
I just got through listening to a group of NBA scouts last night and every single one of them talking about DP could of played in the NBA and would of done very well. This is coming from Scouts that evaluate talent for a living and have yet hear a single one say that he wouldn't be the # 1 or 2 in the draft.

If he was play in a game and turned loose by Coach he would score 40, analysts are saying he will score 40. Plays well so easy, I've heard many many many people talk about how it makes it look so easy , doesn't break a sweat, Sorry just wonder who your watching bit IT' NOT DP

@Crimsonorblue22 Duh lol

@BShark looks like we might be in trouble , this looks like if it's cramps again , then looks like it's going to give us some real problems.

Not going to actually be able to depend on him one game to the next , if that's why he isn't playing tonight. Well one thing about it , might make a couple of people step up--- well at least they better, I swear if we don't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all

@Crimsonorblue22 We are off Saturday.- - We don't play again till the 22nd against Iowa St

I was readimg different KU articles today. Came across a article wish this NIL would of been in effect at the time , we could of used it for some of our past players that transferred out that we sure could use now, Dickinson really hurt us.

There was this article that talked about previous KU players :- -Zuby went from relly nothing here at KU is averaging 22 points per & 8 rebounds-- -how about Udeh ?-- right now he is averaging 11 points & 12 rebounds and 3 blocks pe ggame- - -and just not getting the right people and knowing they are a bad fit, Coach came out and said our /boy from Alabama was a bit fit--well this year he is averaging 18 points a game-- Rylan is Averaging 12 points a game -those two were just not Bill Self style players and the way Bill runs his offense was not good fits for them - -we sure could of used them--would LOVE to have Zuby was named to pre season Big East Player of the year. Dam

Even Coit , I mean yes I agree he was used pretty well but still another player doing better NOT in Coach's system-- Averaging 11 points per game

Great newa our Ladies Soccer got into the NCAA'S we host the first round Friday I think time is 6;00 and we are a three seed not to shabby Proud of the Ladies

@kjayhawks getting kind of late in the Season for experimentation now , but agree for sure. I think we need to make use out of Marshall for sure , the kid is to good wasting his years on the sideline

@approxinfinity Come on now buddy, you know we have to have sacrificial lamb or lambs to be able to unload on when we play like crap we HAVE TO blame someone just so happens these guys are easy marks - you have hear the phrase-- Take one for the team lmao

@Gorilla72 who knows.- - I have a feel on one thing though , I think come next year Marshall is going to over take Ballard. -going to be interesting though to because have heard that McComb is a pretty dam good QB- -might have a real battle,

I think every time Marshall he has given good results running for multiple 8 yard games or more when he is in , very athleic ad fast

Was watching Baylor /Utah volley Ball this afternoon found out some interesting stat today, The big twelve has the NUMBER ONE----RPI in the entire Nation ---- -eight teams in the top twenty five

Arizona State is first in the league , then KU & I believe Iowa State are tied for 2nd- -both I think have three losses in league

The Ladies with a nice win , roster is really talented although got a little sloppy in 2nd half we won 75-60 , the girl I mentioned our 5 * led the way with 27 points-- her name is Julia Davis really good had one shot that was a fade away jumper of one leg lol dam pretty sweet , then Nicols another 5 * followed up with 22 points and our other 5 * finally getting a little playing time coming off an injury good to see-- Davis is out of Blue Valley North & our other 5 * is out of Oklahoma her name is Parks-- then Nicols nice to have 3 - five stars on the roster

@nuleafjhawk I dunno didn't say other then they just didn't feel comfortable with putting them in - - -really not sure exactly on that, Leipold said he wanted Jalon in--- Jalon said he wanted in but the ref made the final determination , Jalon said he wasn't really sure why they wouldn't let him back , something about if you showed ANY kind of weakness

So spending my Sunday afternoon watching the Ladies , I think we gonna be ok this year , and yet check this out
We returning 92 Percent of our scoring from last year , and had the 7th best reruiting class this year ad yet still predicted to finish 6th in the conference , just goes to show how deep our league this year. ---We are up 39-23 at the half- - we got us a good one anothe 5 star ( Davis ) she going to be really good to go along with Nicols

.

@kjayhawks . - - -- Well perfect clarification as to why Coach didn't go for it on fourth and two. Just read from an article by Swain , said as the decision was being thought over he was told he could not have Jalon on the field for the next play even if he wanted to, He said he couldn't put him in even with by calling a time out like you can do if it's a helmet coming off- - - -you can't put a player back in the game afer an injury called by he officials. Decision made by that

@nuleafjhawk Don't even trip your fine. I'm the same way as you are and you should be able to express how you feel. You can see Real KU fans we are people that our passion for Ku get's us going when you feel they aren't playing up to their capabilities and yet you see some people here and other places that wear these Crimson & Blue glasses tinted a little to dark and are just afraid to hear the truth sometimes and think nothing Negative EVER and if you say anything negative then they start to attack you thinking your not a true Ku fan.

Seems to me that just a short time ago on here had a poster who responded to what I said- -saying for me not to hold anything back and just say how I truly feel lmao I dunno you might know who I'm talking about lol.

But I'm like you said the way I feel then just move on to the next response just skip by mine I'm not going to rip on you doing that it's not going to hurt me believe that. I'll still sleep just fine. I've had people block me on here so they don't have to see my posts- - -again that's fine go ahead again ain't not sweat off my n - - - - I'm gonna be me say what I feel negative or not. Again your fine buddy just keep saying what you want no problem here

Guys , can someone please what the hell was that we had to watch in the 2nd half last night ?When NC came out and hit us square in the groin we folded like a cheap suit
We acted like we never heard the word defense or how to play it , there is no excuse for opponents to be shooting 75 % at any point of a half. Then for some reason we decided not to try and run any kind of offense, they just came down and jacked up a three after three after three attempt clanking them or even worse missing everything
.
Then we see Flory doming up MIA for most of the 1st half I mean not even getting the ball or well just nothing. Scored a quick six points in the first half then poof No pointd not even a rebound I truly wonder hoe much he has progressed in the off Season Pretty easy to fill your box score line when playing teams such as Green Bay but what you doing against true quality opponents ?
Then I think our going to see some changes in the starting line ups pretty soon right now seems like we are playing three on five again right now, Trey and Kohl are really doing nothing right now other taking up space I think against Gb he had five points and one rebound and Kohl scored like three and is one for eight from the three. I think your going to say Jason much better then Trey rebounding wise and scoring wise & I think Kohl will be coming out soon, not sure who is taking his place but needs to come out and come off the bench for awhile. We will have a decent Season but no World beaters unless things change

Well noticed first problem of the Season. White is going to have to be better .-- -ONE REBOUND no free throw attempts in TWENTY ONE MINUTES that's not going to get it done we need his production

got a question guys. With us getting Adkins to commit for next year , did we move on and drop off Ethan Taylor, OR do we still have a shot for him OR do we still recruiting him ?

Would be solid pick up , are we still interested in him or is he still interested in us ?-- -he announced he will give his commit next Friday off CBS , so just curious if we got any shot ?-- - he listed Oregon- - - --KU- - - -Michigan State-- Oklahoma , --Indiana- -Kentucky.

In an interview he listed Oregon- ---Michigan St-- -& KU as warmer in his interest.--- He tok official visits , BUT did not take visit to Kentucky , I would think that climates them. He broke down what he was thinking about three schools Oregon- -KU & Michigan St.- had quite a bit of quality good things on KU--- - - So anyone heard anything have we moved on/away from him since Adkins or do we still have a solid shot- -Anybody heard anything?

Sorry Updated edit: Never mind since found out he is a lock for Michigan St , schools already been notified just making announcement a week from today-- --Dam

All the talk about NC front line being an advantage for them , might be the difference in the game. It very well might be but I think this might be a case where we see more minutes from Tiller along with Flory at the same time might be able to help out more. I'm OK with that, I think he is going to be a solid playe for us as the Season goes on

@kjayhawks II seen that too , was really happy about that-- that was a big one

@drgnslayr Agreed. I dunno , but just seems his whole recruitment , I just think he likes the attention and keeping things stirred up. Times like well he was going to play AAU , then he wasn't- -- - Then he decides he wants to play football , then ends up with a suspension from multiple games because of altercations with fellow students , not sure -was it football team mates or other non sport kids- --I think Norte Dame High School is his fourth school in four years, - - questionable academics

Just think he might cause distraction within the team- --might be a cancer ----question is would he be a black hole , you know what I mean ? A scenario where he gets the ball and it;s not coming back,- --Will he fit with the roster. I could easily see conflict when things not going well between him and Coach Self -I just think the more I read and hear I just really don't think the positive out weighs the negatives.

I still think in the end it's not going to be a concern because like I've read and heard he is just still using KU as a chip to get bigger NIL I've also heard that because of this latest episode that there may be other teams enter into the scene because KU - -and or Kentucky may back off not wanting the headache , others saying HEY w will take you ---also have heard he may just go over seas go o Europe and play for a year until the NBA draft. Just don't believe we need the problems lot of of issues, think it needs to be a pass

I think our problem possibly for this game will be trying to match up with their front line

He still is all Kentucky if they still want him , doesn't ' phase me as I think we could very easily br better off if he does. I just think to much in question could be a big distraction might just be a cancee=rb, your right just think he is not a good fit for our team

@wissox Our ladies won the Big Twelve soccer tourney last Season and advanced to the NCAA'S hope they can make a return trip

des were an issue also- -bottom line they think he will just enroll at another school. - school. just kinda glad pretty sure he ends up at Kentucky- - let them take him and his trouble.3

Did a little more looking , pulled this from an article on the Kentucky board. Seems he missed multiple games while serving a suspension. He has while at school ha altercations with other students---- he missed team photo shoot , and hasn't been on campus this week.

Could be wrong is a pretty decent one it's a group of four guys discussing things usually last some time

@FarmerJayhawk keep saying I think people over looking our KU guys -- -so more athletic, I really like Bryson he is going to be very solid. Just got to get some of Kohl's three's to drop, hustles really well.
Council solid--plays well on the defensive end.- -Have to agree love the low turnivers three of course no pressure applied really but still -- love to see Flory's free throws drop

Interesting game Friday, sure hope Darryn's cramps don't become a major issue fingers crossed, that kid is such a stud

word going around he probably finally gets done with his games announces between the 12th & 19th of this month

wherethey showing Carolina at ? Can't find it , Florida beating Arizona fairly well up 10 -- -- --BYU plays Villanova later

For one our backs coverage is pitiful they play these guys with almost a ten yard cushion , if they need that much room to cover then --we need a different guy that can pressure in tight -zone coverage sucks we need aggressive rip their head off if they catch the ball instead of coverage where it's Charmin soft

DK is in over his head totally lost on scheme

@kjayhawks Hell buddy DK- -doesn't understand DK'S stuff , couldn't agree more. Hanni & Lawrence were talking about that all day Saturday -he HAS to go

HEY news Flash : --Tryan Stokes has names his three schools lmao. Any Guesses ?- -OK they are Oregon- - -Kentucky- - & KU.- -hmmm , hmmm , hmmm who could it be - -spoiler alert - - ummm let's see Kentucky maybe lol

@approxinfinity I like you was ESPN plus by it'self, been that way for years and still haven't had to buy anything else

So it's been pretty easy for me, I just go to the Ku athletics site pull up the schedule and it list what place the game is being shown on click my ESPN Plus and bi Zinga there it is - -still haven't had to buy anything more.

If you already got ESPN Plus your good to go

@nuleafjhawk LOL you can count on it. always been that way , always will people don't like what I say-- - - -oh well truth hurts some times, I'll still sleep just fine fluff my pillow, pull the covers up and sleep great. can't stand wanna be fair weather fans or so called fans just the way it is. Easy out fire the Coach , fire the Coach

Was talking with my Dr ( KU Grad ) was talking about KU & Coach L & we both agreed that these People saying fire Coach L-- --Coach L needs fired are nothing but complete idiots-- just idiots.

People saying these things don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Oh sure it's easy to automatically say OH hell fire the Coach-- -fire the Coach like that's going to solve everything, while in reality all were doing is siting the program just further back all over again. THAT'S not the answer.
All your doing is breaking up the Continuity , your killing everything with Coach L has established he has done so much for the University and we are about to just throw it all away.

Coach has brought in better recruits , He knew that in order to compete we as a part needed better facilities that's all a major piece in recruiting now days we were the laughing stock of the conference the Nation with the old facilities w use to have. Recruits go and see our competition place then come here and see our old piece of crap Stadium we use to have. -Lance is the best thing we have had for such a long time. Yet instead of people realizing this they would just rather blurt out FIRE THE COACH- --FIRE THE COACH.= =Hate to tell you but there is a lot more to it then just firing the Coach.

@drgnslayr I agree but some people are saying they are still mentioning that the reason he hasn't committed is he is using KU to drive up his anti money wise with others, at this point guess just have to wait and see, would be nice if he did but the world will still rotate if he doesn't

Looking to see if anyone else has heard anything or not. So was wondering about Tryan Stokes, Last I had heard that was over that Stokes was moving away or we were no longer being considered with so I said well rime to move on then.

Yet now I'm hearing we are not out of it by far according to some. Now like most here I still think he ends up else where but going to the Kentucky Board which I had heard was the likely landing spot rumor/lot of talk now he is not going to end up there and most think he is coming to KU.

Talk is Stokes Mom is NOT a Kentucky fan at all , that in fact she was at the Louisville/ KU for their exhibition game the same night Kentucky was playing, and yes I know he signed a Nike deal so people might say Nike is not going to let him play with an ADIAS School but like people said their is kids that have signed with one shoe but yet have played at another & Kentucky people saying that quite a bit.

General talk is too that even though he grew up in Louisville he is just not into them as much and talk is this is between KU/UK and many just think he not going to UK. Some UK people think that even Mark Pope and Kentucky has secretly moved on and feel like they will be fine. Like I said like people here believe he is Kentucky I too still think he is Kentucky that I reckon until the fat Lady takes center stage nd starts to sing I guess there is always that chance , we shall see.

This game was hard to watch for a lot of it. Thoughts-- -- Council solid --- - -big boy did fair, don't think he hurt us that much -- not going to see the floor a lot but he still not THAT BAD 9 points- - 9 rebounds - - -Tiller solid again , give him a few more games he going to help even more , gets settled in.- still waiting for Kohl's 3 point shooting to show- --Trey might be a little better 3 point shooter then I thought & Flory - --buddy- - you got WORK to do

@BeddieKU23 -- - Think he ended up 0- -6 for the night

I hear ya on that. Yet I just went to Kansas Athletics site -- - pulled up our schedule and it shows how it is being broadcast --ESPN plus BAM ther you go takes you right to the game , that's the way I did it most of the year last yr too. Of course I have has ESPN plus for a couple of years so didn't need to subscribe but pretty easy bud

@Kcmatt7 I think Lance is fine as a D-1 Coach , it's the other Coach's that need attention. McDonald isn't cutting it , he is the Coordinator and it needs work -a lot of work on the defensive side.

Lance was part of the group of course in bring in our Michigan group , Marshall- - -Warner who has since transferred and a couple of others, I have faith in Lance- --he has a couple of assistants that is a different story.

I think with the heat he has been catching though I have to agree with others as many openins that have come up if these idiots keep harassing him he might just say scre it and leave for another job. Then the one'd who are bitching can really bitch when we fall right back where we were at before Lance showed.

Lance has done a lot for this program that I for one greatly appreciate

@BeddieKU23 I re watched the game today and Council was shooting free throws and I had to do a double take cause for a second he looked A LOT LIKE Tyshawn Taylor I know crazy right ? but for a second he did

Several things about the game/team -- - -One thing I thought KU pretty much was in control of this from the word go till the end. Only one little stretch they led. - I took a peek on the Louisville boards all said KU looked my polished/comfortable to what they were doing, & of course all were saying DP was a really food player/ the Real Deal.

Now I don't think it's a stretch to believe that if Self would of let him play more he could of easily probably finished with 40. - -- I said earlier I think this team we have is going to cause some real problems on the defensive end. Lots of deflected passes , lots of stolen balls/opponent turnovers.- Length , Length , Length my friends cause real havoc.

Depth, guys we have DEPTH, quality Depth , go back check the box score guys with 12 points , 10 points , 8 points etc , etc, - -some guys that can actually play defense

I think there is a bunch of people that has under estimated our team. Ya I get it this doesn't count -- right , got that , BUT count or nor you can't take away the level of competition we played , Louisville is not no St Mary's Sister's of the Blind Plus on their home court. They had their fans there ready to go but KU never really gave them the chance. Every time they trim down to 10- - - 8 points KU always answered right back to 14- -so hang on to your shorts guys ready to enjoy the ride

@drgnslayr About the only thing I could bitch about at little was the turnoves , but the positive out weighted the negative by far and

Darryn was responsible for six of them but he will be fine, this team like I said gonna play the hunter role this year instead of the hunted, I think people have just flat under rated us,--- -fine by me.

@nuleafjhawk Sorry to say but that same thought raced through my mind for a second myself but then I thought NA surely not. Yet his play was so atrocious some them was like WOW it looked like that's exactly what he was doing

@nuleafjhawk I'm beginning to think so. Why can't we have a decent foot ball program. I'm sure Lance is catching some heat. Is it deserved ? - Probably some of it is anyways but not totally, today was just so discouraging I think we actually took a step backwards today.

A showing like we had today I'm sure is a recipe for flip from commits. No one wants to play for schools that play like piles of warm dog doo, I mean it wasn't just one certain area today it was a team lost effort. If you saw you could tell the game was over in the third quarter walking around with slumped should , sad faces , I mean come on take a little pride dam.

Wow where to start, That was the most pathetic sight I've seen and am afraid this performance has set the program back. I would love to hear from someone , anyone who could point out anything positive that we executed today that was good. We just got curb stomped. I would like to hear from people that saw this coming - --- the score/result of the game

I can say you can take it to the bank Lance will be catching heat , I've always been behind Lance but todays showing inexcusable.

Jalon just saves his worst for K/State..- --I'm so fed up listening to Hanni & Lawerence trying to make up excuses it gets really old ( well it's wet today , Jalen off throwing the ball ( hmmm didn't seem to bother Johnson throwing the ball )

Jalon plays horrible throwing-- -got to be his worst game of the Season throwing the ball. fumbles the ball what ? - -Three times and his int?- -some of his passes weren't even close

Another huge difference , Daniels spent most of the game running for his life-- -constant pressure. Where the hell is our protection from our O-Line. Daniels under pressure all day- -Absolutely no pressure on Johnson at all. For 80/85 % of the day he had time to make his lunch- -AND still time to eat it- -our D-Line - --Our O-Line sucks

Our Secondary sucks receivers wide open time and time again , there is going to be some heat on Lance- - - needs to be heat on O-Line Coach-- needs to be lots of heat on DK McDonald

You watch they gonna start losing that fan support again , half full stadium if they fix this ans fix this now.- -Just an ugly display
