@approxinfinity can he even do that right ?
@jay4ever He is just insanely a Giagantic liability on defense and now the guy can't hit two foot layups practically
Are you fricken kidding me ?- -just get the game tied and then four straight fricken turnovers sloppy lazy passes
@approxinfinity he is killin us by missing two foot chippies time and time and time again
Well down two is better then down eleven like we were
To play this poorly and only be down two is a good thing
how many two foot chippies has Dickinson missed this year ?
If it wasn't for umm umm D-2 where would we be
Haven't we seen this scenario before ? - guys making wide open three's
The last couple of games Bill hasn't waited long to pull Dickinson out-- had enough finally of his BS , why we seen Flory Early
@wissox that's what's happened tonight
this team is just NOT GOOD
@Texas-Hawk-10 nothing new
@approxinfinity Again
And hee we go--- - - Again
K/State getting spanked at the half by BYU- - -40-22
Well the refs wanna be noticed in the Iowa St game now- - -Surprise
why do these teams look so different when they are not playing us ? - - WV taking Baylor into OT at Baylor-- - Cinn within four points to Iowa St late in the game- -- -dam
Two things from Houston- - Arizona-- Arizona last two games- -5-44 from the 3 point line- - umm NOT GOOD- - and mercy since Houston joined the league is now 28-4 - 11 straight road wins , longest in the Nation- - that is truly Dominance
The only one small thing that could begin to possibly help come NCAA tourney time is - - we aren't playing on opposition home floor where ovrwhelming opposition fans -- Neutral court- -I know- - I know that's a reach , but trying to find positive going into tourney
I see that the NCAA still has us aas one of the top 16 seeds in their initial projections
Anybody else watching this Arizona/ Houston game ? -- 9-8 Arizona with under twelve to go in 1st half.- - -Can it be interesting game with that kind of Score ?-- I think it's still a good game , just neither team hitting squat, energy level is there for sure
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree with Jackson- -- Peterson - - Griffen-- & Flory - - Storr ? - -Nope but everyone has their opinion on that no problem there. Would be a good or should be a good balanced group- -now add some quality depth to that , add Diggy coming off the bench for a few minutes would be a start
Saw these this morning and had to think WHY/ how is it that a team with these stats struggle like we do at times --as they say stats don't lie.
Juan who ( Some like to refer to as D-2 ) Is 2nd in the Big twelve in the assist to turnover ratio 3.50 which ranks him as the - -7th best Nationally.
Juan is 2nd in the Big twelve in assists at a 5.8 per which is ( 28th ) Nationally .
KU as a team leads the Big twelve and 14th Nationally in assists to turnover ratio 1.61
KU as a team is 2nd in the League in field goal defense at 38.7 % -- which ranks then 10 th Nationally .
KU ranks 10th Nationally in assists at 18.6 -- - -KU is ranked 11th in the Net - - & KU's SOS is ranked 13th in the Nation Seeing this just makes things look even more puzzling I guess a lot of it has to do with the timing in which bad things happen in the game- - -Scoring droughts --- turnovers -- - forced shots--- -bad rebounding- - I guess has a lot to do critical times of ball games these things happen , makes it look worse.- - I know there are a lot of teams would die to have these kind of stats
@rcjhdraft You need a five man to take Hunters point production- Peterson stepping in and taking of May's point production --different positions
@rcjhdraft Then who is taking Mayo's- - Peterson filling Mayo's point production
A question that becomes a vital piece for NEXT years roster is even though he is a sloth a wreck on defense , the Question becomes how do we replace Hunters offensive production where he is usually putting up right at twenty per game. Who is gonna fill that void ?
Flory probably gonna be the starting five right ?-- So Flory has a lot of upside , gonna be good , but right now and next year he is still raw, especially offensively lot of growing to do offensively , not even sure he will come close point wise to Hunter ever , just not that type - -or at least not yet. So in that respect were gonna be weak, you figure even if Flory jumps to twelve/thirteen a game next year that's still a sufficent drop-- for sure going to be a big spot to fill point production wise
@approxinfinity Agreed Lance isn't playin
Should be getting a commitment from another top ten rated Kansas kid today/tonight some time. Tyren Parker from Shawnee Heights here in Topeka making his announcent today/tonight. Would give us Seven out of the top Ten rated players out of Kansas for the class of 2026-- Lance cleaning the State- - -taking it back
@drgnslayr I have to agree I think Rakese is gone, dam shame really wasn't given a fair shake - never got to play extended minutes, I actually thought he would of been gone already, tough kid I think he will land some where and be fine
@wissox Actually I believe the new OC was just hired from within , has been the QB Coach and actually he was the one calling the offense when Jason Bean led us to our bowl win when Jalen was hurt? - -So JF knows him but hasn't had any snaps under center with Coach Z calling plays..
JD should still be familiar with him and should be able to catch on pretty fast.-- If JD-6 can't go , mercy I would love to see Isiah get his shot, all I've heard and seen some og his game film looks really good j. Think he is a little fester then JD --great arm
@kuballin10 I would be shocked/stunned if we didn't change our tempo next year, or at least give it an extended run. - With the make up of what is a good foundation of very up tempo with ( Flory if he returns ) - -Peterson - -Diggy ( if he comes back -you will have a very solid for this to work with.
Go to the portal get you a couple of smooth SF or Guards/combo- - Hell MAYBE Rylan will come back- -lol , doubtful but maybe, I think Rylan would thrive bette in a more open style up tempo game then this whatever were running now.
believe it or not players love getting out and go Coach ha the wrong type of players in this offense to fit -you can't put thorough Breds in a dam Mule race--won't work. As I stated in another post, the offense Bill is running just looks like a mess- -ugly to watch, bogs down , no flo , no rhythm.-- Like I say I would think with the possible make up of next yrs roster- -you got to change tempo.-- Griffen , Peterson ,, Flory , Diggy would be a great start
Just Curious , hoping someone can tell me the answer. How did this team ever just dog stomp UCF by what ?- -51 points ? -- watching this team play just don't know how that ever happened and on their home floor. I know UCF is no dominant team , but they are not total trash either. - -Just watching this team that's on the floor now just amazes me how that ever happened.
I mean seriously where is the flow to the offense ?- -where is the rhythm - sorry to say but it sure just looks like that we really struggle to score, this offense bogs down - -choppy, seems like we have been getting ourselves deep in the clock and then in the end are forced to throw up some hard contested three or just a wild shot. I think if we are honest with ourselves we would admit that right now it's hard to watch these guys - -painful- -just no flow what so ever.
Franny made a comment about Dickinson during the game saying at one point " That's what you will get from Hunter game in-- game out talking about him scoring right around twenty per game-- -that's very true BUT what you can also count on practically every game is his liability on the defensive end,- Every game just getting Schooled by a man driving right by him for easy scores -just getting torched on D - makes it really frustrating,- - So in the end what's happening with him is - - Yes he scores the ball but negates all the positive from the offensive end by all the negative on the defensive end, so actually zero effect from him-- Boy wish we could get out and run like wild horses looks so much bette. The offense we are running now just looks stagnant
@MoonwalkMafia And yet their fans are about ready to crap the bed, -- it's not about what you did in the past- - what have you doe for me now ?- - those titles ? - all it has done is make expectations very unrealistic
@nuleafjhawk Thanks appreciate it - ramble makes since, loosen the belt buddy taking things WAY TO SERIOUS-- take a break things aren't the end of the world lol--- have a great night, enough rambling - -oh ya remember this- -like a great man said only a couple word difference "-- You don't know me, --don't tell me I ramble a lot roflmao chill dude- my GOD
@nuleafjhawk Right so what that really means is your spoiled--- spoiled by the same Coach people wanna get rid of lol- -so see I know what you mean. Tell me who wants crap Seasons, no one wants crappy seasons like starting out and saying-- -sure hope w have a crappy season roflmao ya that works, especially spoiled people , don't feel honored or nothing though cause your not alone-- many just like you -- it's ok things will be fine- remember to just breathe --don't take things so serious, there is other better things in life other then Basketball, Dam where did I hear that from people starting to enjoy other things doing other things then worry about Basketball -- do you remember who said that- --dam if I know- -- - one thing I hate though is people telling me not do things say like- - -not telling me not to tell them what they mean- - that kind of thing just inspires me to do exactly just the opposite of what they say- -you understand right ? lol
@nuleafjhawk Oh what you really mean is you love living in the perfect world -Title game every year - -gotcha -- lmao- - not happening but hey LET'S fire the Coach , that will solve everything lmao
I know there are A LOT of other fan bases that feel the exact same way - -wonder if they all are firing their coach ? - Sure hope so gives us a huge pool to pick our next victim from lol
I realize we don't have the make up on this team at the present to do this but I still think our best team is when we get out and run, run , run , after missed Ft's- after made Baskets- - after missed shots.-- just RUN Roy use to have us running loved it.
I think we DO have some that could fit that type now-- like Flory - -- Diggy - - --Rylan- - -Peterson next year , we need good fluid mobile five man - -sure not like Dickinson - -really good fluid smooth wings - -PG's - -( umm hello Darryn ) let it fly . Recruit fluid , mobile , quick depth bench wise also - -just GO work other teams over with the pace-- just think a lot better way to go other then post some sloth down low and wait for him to miss chip shots off his 2 inch explosion and offense that is slow and methodical limited possessions are in the past , we got to go
@kjayhawks Oh that's true, but however U Conn coming off back to back titles and fans expectations are higher not wanting to settle for anything less, we know how these things work.
Just ask any other spoiled KU fan, if w don't get to the Championship it's a failure, we want to FIRE the Coach, that just kills me lmao such a simple solution when you don't win the Championship , or make it to the Championship it's so simple - -- - ' FIRE THE COACH ' hell ya that will solve everything - -- so simple.
So let's bring in another high flashy smooth talkin Coach- - come hell or high water betcha he will get us that Championship or we will make it to it & if not ? - -SIMPLE- let's just ' FIRE THE COACH roflmfao--- SIMPLE---- FIRE THE COACH what's so hard about that problem solved-- till the next one.-- Crap that way Ku might as well hire a guy that his whole job is to do nothing but FIRE THE COACH , that's all he has to do- -- -SIMPLE
That's one of the main problems with upper class programs , fan base always think they should be in that Championship EVERY YEAR , just fucking spoiled people- -Sure that's every teams goal make it to the Championship, but it just doesn't work that way. Sooooo many things play into getting there , things have to work and fall into place just right to do that. Player fits ( boy KU knows all about that ) injury free - - - quality depth for a team ( not just spare bodies )- -quality depth - -- Chemistry ( ummm hello )
There are people who just don't get it , or simply refuse to accept it and when it doesn't happen simple , it's the Coach's fault,- - No it isn't , - -not all of it anyways sure partially but how about these players stepping up and accepting some responsibility for failing to reach that ultimate goal.
KU fan base just falls under the same title of many others - - -SPOILED. fail to realize the days of domination by teams are over. The NIL & the Portal has seen to that.-- your Talent is more evenly dispersed . Hell we think we are falling short of what we should be doing ?- - -Look at Kentucky - -Look at N Carolina- - Look at Duke- Look at Gonzaga- -all upper quote- - unquote ( Blue Bloods ) - -how many times have they not made the Championship games- - not even reaching the title game.- -Dam N Carolina has failed to even make whats going to be the NCAA tourney in two out of the last three years.
When is the last time KU has FAILED to at least make the tourney? - -Kentucky not that long ago has failed to even make the tourney- - Kentucky-- -Duke- -an to an extent N Carolina all have had much better rated talented players then KU and where did they get ? All those five star , first round NBA players and where has it got them ?- - how does people think those fan bases feel ?
These things run in cycles, it goes a full 360 But when the guys fall short people are just so spoiled because of past history they crap the bed during those off years. It is or does not work that way anymore, again talent to spread out. The run to the title involves a lot of luck-- -look at our 1988 team with Danny, were we the best team in the field that year ? - -Hell no we weren't not even close , but things fell into place that year a lot of luck involved
And to the original part about rosters, I for sure think U Conn has a better roster then KU, Liam McNeely being projected as a lottery pick - - - Alex Karaban better player, they also have Solo Ball -- Hassan Diarra- -and look where they are 16-7 same record as us- - 3rd in their conference- -and not even in the rankings- -that coming from a back to back champ- - fan base going nuts wondering what happening. I Got the answer to solve their problem- --SIMPLE - - FIRE HURLEY LMAO problem solved - - Who's next ?
@jay4ever lol , you mean like tonight lmao
So who you think is more unhappy KU fans ?- - or is it U Conn fans ? -- -You had Ku ranked preseason # 1 expected to make a deep run, - - then you have U Conn Back to Back National Champs.-- So in reality who has done less this Season Ku with the playes on this Roster - or U Conn with the Roster they have ?
Somebody want to debate who has a better roster ?- Which roster has more talented players ?- -Is it KU - -or U Conn with theirs ? --- KU now dropped to 17th in the AP - -20 in the Coach's poll- -- or U Conn which is unranked ?- - Do w really want to debate that this years Big East is a tougher conference then the Big 12 ?- - Bottom line were not the only one that is not getting it done.
@kjayhawks I know that , that's why I was surprised
@approxinfinity LMAO , well sir I think when it comes to our selection of our next Upper Crust Coach- - - YOU will have to be relegated to a Tier 2 candidate--- - you are just on the edge of credibility lol
Dang , little surprised after losing to the kittens we only dropped ONE spot in the AP - -dropped THREE in the Coach's , - went from 16/17th in Ap-- surprises me a bit, thought we would probably be like 23rd.-- -U Conn dropped out of AP- - & like 24th in the Coach's
@Texas-Hawk-10 I was just going to say I think next year will be Bills last. He has stated he didn't want to follow in a trend of long time like K-- Boheim and such. He stated that he wasn't finished but thought he was on the back nine, wanting to retire early enough to be able to enjoy time with his wife and the grandkids.
Everything I've heard and realize that having to recruit kids-- on the road recruiting so much is really grueling /hard being away so much. Coach now with this dam NIL & portal is just to much. ?Basically having to practically recruit huge roster turnover almost every year.
Coach is not a big NIL/Portal guy he said they are good but both of them put together at the same time is not Now he catching all this shade from the 250-0 career beer guzzling/hoagie sandwich Couch Coach's just to much- -saying screw this , don't blame him one bit - We won't have any problem pulling one of these Couch Coachs that know so much more about the game and how it should be run- -we will be fine
Well Said sir, for people it's the old cliche ( What have you done for me lately ) lol-- pssst two National Championships HA should be at least four-five, - -Conference titles ? - -what the hell happened to our streak?- -I say FIRE BILL- - FIRE BILL NOW- - worthless, he needs to be run out.-- You Say another 5 * recruit== psssst we should have 4-5 - -5 * recruits, he is a poor recruiter can't ever get top notch players
I agree- -- now that Tang Fella , by golly that guy gets er done- - - he will have a National Title before three shakes of a pigs tail, I mean not sure what the title will be in but by golly he is gonna get a title for the school. -Might be a goat roping title but jimmity Crickets - -YES SIR we need that fella at what ever the cost - -YES SIR we will get us some of those them there lil flags with pics of them there cows - -pigs- - and giddy ups-- - we will have all kinds of banners hanging from the rafters -- and ONE GIANT ONE OF TANG HIMSELF right square in the middle- - OH geez we will be so proud, we can thump our chest - -brag oh glory be, -by Golly I think your onto some thing you young Whipper Snapper , gee whiz I like that Idee,-- --I say you should lead the charge for TANG- -TANG IT IS nothing but the best- -nothing less for us. No Matter what the Coast. - -I say every Man- -Woman- - -& Child be involved, posters on every street corner-- decals on your car-- YES SIR - -TANG IT IS - - - TANG -TANG - -TANG run Self out of town get some tar and feathers by golly- - let's do this lol
@Texas-Hawk-10 I have to agree with you on winning the Title for sure, there are so many who worry about where their team is ranked during the year, how many Conference championships --things of that Nature.
I've had other discussions with some where you have to point out , sure winning Conference Championships are nice BUT the bottom line is if you were to ask a player -- a Coach , team who the F - - - ever what the Ultimate goal of the Season would be ? -- to the man it's the NCAA Championship , for some their light just doesn't come on , not understanding lol.
Bottom line of it too is there are times even when the Best team and the body of work they have done over the course of the Season doesn't scheive the Championship , so many things go into that ride, how your seeded - -who you draw- -- -your regions bracket--- who is hot/on a roll at the time- -There can only be ONE winner in the end and everyone else ends their season with an L
Look at KU 1988- -we sure the hell wasn't the best team over the Season-- -NC States miracle run.
But anyways bottom line is you are absolutely 100 % right on a teams goal-- it's A National Title, and nothing else
There are tow words for this game - -Dominant Defense , simple
@jay4ever A life time contract is total assine, for whoever, whenever , whyever , for however- -people need outs, , Players , Coach's , Managers WTF eve life times are total BS moves
