Refreshing to be able to watch a couple of teams play fluid /free.- -add Iowa St & Baylor both smoking us also at this point. ??Dreading having to play ISU they will smoke us

WV up at the half over Oklahoma St- - -46-19

Mercy think I just saw the dunk of the Season from any team , any player. - -Cortes from Wichita St flies down court throws the ball up , it goes behind Ballard- - - shows him reach back and grabs it full extension behind him grabs it and flush's He got up -Mercy- -the announcers said if that's not the # 1 dunk on sports center-- have to agree , that was sweet.

@Zabudda Had to laugh. Media ask Self about the three bigs and if there was a chance of seeing more of Flory with Hunter, Bill says ya that's a possibility , we just have to figure out a way to score -- I guess he meant with that combo , well here is a news flash Coach , Flory with Hunter sure the hell can't be any worse then KJ with Hunter with the scoring aspect of it.

I'd be willing too- -it will never hsppen BUT I'd be willing to bet the farm if you put Flory on the floor and had him play the amount of minutes KJ is playing right now I'd bet you anything that Flory would dam sure be putting up better scoring numbers then KJ-- 7 bet you again he would make KJ look silly in the amount of rebounds he would get over KJ if he was getting KJ's minutes. Flory wants every rebound if he can. Give that kid the rest of this year and like possibly 1/2 of next , he is going to be really good

Boy Lance and staff making big in roads in the state. Totally forgot about today, but just found out KU got huge commit today from J J Dunnigan , 4 Star player big thing stole right away from K/State right out of Manhattan.- -His dad played for K/State announced his decision at all star classic.

KU now has three very solid recruits from Kansas and are leading right now for 4 8 I believe TE out of ?Salina, closing the gap on K/State getting the in state kids. I just figured JJ was a lock for K/State but love he is on board.
Know it's a long way away and I'm sure we are not done with Schools trying to flip JJ but hooping for the best-- --ROCK CHALK

I think we have seen the days where Ku has run rough shod over the Big twelve is done- - those days are over

@BeddieKU23 Maybe if you see him at all- - I think he is digging that deep dog house with Self going to be hard to get out

I am actually for real beginning to think , these kids coming in from the portal , Rylan , AJ , not that long ago Joe Y-- - when they come in Bill just scares the crap out of them, shell shock, he has to loosen up some, These kids if they make a mistake they are out- - that's how Bill looking at it, gets these kids so focused and tight they are afraid and over, think so worried about making a mistake and getting yanked They can feel Coach glaring at them like a Vulture just waiting it seems, they play scared shitless. I think Bill needs to relax some, the kid makes a mistake , let him play through it, put it in the past and go on let him play through - He already knows he made the mistake, he is getting on himself already, but right now they make the mistake and it becomes for him WELP i'M DONE look over see Coach's face bright crimson red-- that destroys a kids self esteem confidence more then anything. Just let it go play that the mistake not become Two mistakes.

We need to loosen the reins and let these guys go - let them run. Anybody remember how Roy would have us running up , up tempo so much go - -go- -go. -You think I'm blowing smoke out my ass? - -Looked to me like in the Game Joe sure wasn't feeling that heat like when he was here.--- Drained the two three's he took, stole the ball-- relaxed. Didn't have to worry about the lightning hook if he made a mistake -I'm tellin you, you got to just let them play free

Bill's response when asked about what he saw from AJ Sorr & Rylan Griffen after the WV game --- I didn't see much. Well hell no Coach you sure didn't see much when you had their ass on the bench for 3/4 of the game. Hard to see anything when it's like that unless you lean forward and stretch your neck and look down towards the end of the bench

@dylans Oh ya I'm just enjoying the hell out of it, I mean come on. We have a great kid who busts his ass but does not belong on the floor for 30 minutes a game , in any way shape or form. geez - just ugly,- - - then we have a 7'2 guy with a three inch explosion who thinks he is Steph Curry draining three's, He did not show much if anything from about the middle of last yr , to now this year trying to knock down three's. PLANT YOUR ASS down in the block -- get your position - -demand the ball- -and take the fricken ball to the Hole. Kid is as slow as a sloth constantly getting his ass beat when he is extended out to the top of the key

I've been a KJ supporter for a long time , but now after the way things have played out for him this year, sad to say probably not as much. I like so many others love KJ , great kid , he will bust his ass, do dirty work, however I think he would be a great 6th man - -a 15-18 minute man NOT close to a 30-31 player, He just takes away too much for times such as that. Would be great he come in to give Hunter a few minutes break , Flory a break , back up at the five for those two. , maybe a small, small period at the four - -KJ can't play the four- -well successfully anyways-- he just can't

This has got me wondering /questioning on a couple of things. A couple of questions & not trying to be disrespectful to anyone KJ- -Staff but as we all have seen KJ play enough we know what KJ brings to the floor, My question is I just wonder what the staff, Coach included what did they see in KJ in the first place coming out of high school to offer him a Scholarship ?

I mean come on let's be serious- the poor kid doesn't have a shot---- - he doesn't or won't rebound - -he does play pretty decent defense- - he is a fairly good passer , BUT those things just does not play a big enough part to over come the other area's we need the guy for KJ to be starting and playing the minutes he plays- - Again what did they see coming out of High School?

My other question is you all know if we can see the things where KJ is lacking then , for dam sure the staff has to see these things. Question is , has there been a really serious effort to work with KJ one on one , another step in developing the player taking him and spending sufficient time , I'm talking long periods of time working on his shot , I'm talking like they should of dedicatetd someone to during an entire off season have someone working with him, be in the gym daily to develop a shot - -working on his technique , his form. He needs serious long reputation's on a shot form and technique.

Same thing can be said for his rebounding. the kid needs work on positioning and boxing out, KJ is built like a brick shithouse without a brick missing- -the guy has the ability to just use that body and rebounding positioning to average about 7.5 -- - 8 rebounds at least-- not 4. Again love KJ he tries , well in some he does , other times I just don't know , but if we want to do any damage KJ can JUST NOT be playing right at 30 minutes a game , he just can't. - -We need another scorer on the floor at that position We need someone that is going to force the opposition to respect that player and actually guard against his shot. With Kj they know KJ can flush the hell out of the ball , but they just sag off , clog the lane , and help defend Hunter and force KJ to if he is going to , they force him to make jumpers- Coach has to realize there has got to be a change. Hell put Rylan at the four, maybe not the best option but better then KJ OR put Passmore let him play a small four for a bit something-- -we just can't continue like this and expect to do any real damage

@rockchalkjayhawk Agree on all

Kinda sad that the kid we passed on in the beginning is the one who is having to carry us I don't know where the hell we would be without Zeke right now.

Someone needs to put a can of TNT up Hunters ass the guy is such a liability on defense

Pretty saad when the Refs comes up and admits the Back court call was a missed call. Well super little late for that now, but the efs didn't cost us this game - -some players cost us this game, our Coach playing the wrong players

Coach tells Zeke needs to attack more - -Zeke 13-13 from the line, think he got the message

@BShark ya get out while your ahead

When does bad minton start ?

Flory needs to be on the floor more- - he was the one who got us back in this-- Eight points and Eleven rebounds , and Zeke once again leading scorer 27 points- -mercy

@Zabudda they were on the bench where they should be. Storr is worthless

Zeke absolutely the one carrying this team right now

We should of never been in this position in the first place

@DCHawker AJ is a waste.- --- he has done nothing all year, kinda like overpaid Hawkings for K/State

WHERE THE HELL WAS THAT WHEN HE WAS HERE

@DCHawker said in West Virginia- a game finally:

@SlimShaddy54 said in West Virginia- a game finally:

Flory with nine rebounds - -now ten rebounds

And, KJ, playing the same position has zero...

EXACTLY

Flory with nine rebounds - -now ten rebounds

Make these we would be at least within legit reach of this

If Zeke can hit these, cut it to four

Atta Boy Flory

Flory killin it on the boards like right at eight- - just brings so much more then KJ

Flory needs to be playing more then KJ. Much more athletic, much better rebounder

KJ can't score -- Hunter is HUGE liability on defense , you knew Zeke --could have an off day with the three- -Storr hasn't played a lick if D in his life - -who knows what the hell is wrong with Griffen--- Moore hasn't barely touched the floor
We have instantly become the laughing stock of the Big twelve

Wherre in the GD HELL is the defense - I mean come on for God's sakes

you figure W Virginia is smackin that ass without their two best players. Do we have a best player ?

All I have to say is , if this is the seventh ranked team in the Nation ?- --Then if that is the case it's a really crap year in College Basketball. Thiss id NOT the number 7 team in the Nation maybe not even top 20

Well we certainly crapped the bed in that 1st half didn't we.-- KJ has got to sit, not rebounding , not scoring exactly what is he doing ? - -I've supported KJ for a long time- - but now geez

Houston closes the 1st half on a 17-1 run - -Oklahoma State closes on a five minute scoring drought geez

two ranked teams in the big twelve on the road - - two ranked teams in trouble right now on the road K/State up 5 over Cincinnati with nine minutes to go. -- -Houston in a dog fight with Oklahoma St

Oklahoma St different offense this year, run - - -run - -and run some more. Announcers saying their whole tempo is to get a shot up within the first ten seconds of a possession -run , run , run , pretty quick.

@FarmerJayhawk How many receivers do we need ?- -We picked up our 8th today from Colombia

heck ya, got another nice commit today. WR -- Bryson Canty from Colombia --I think 6'2 & 205 portal--- offers from others ended up choosing over Houston & Wake Forrest.

43 catches this year I think 769 yards - -& 9 TD'S - - Crowded receiver room --this makes 8 Receivers - -I think could go like Hendeson , Canty , & Pickett in some fashion--- -think we are going to be just fine- - One yr of eligibility left

Had to edit , also saw his catch's averaged out to like 17 yards per--- I can live with that

@Crimsonorblue22 Probably was

@rockchalkjayhawk I hear ya - -we all saw this coming , just destroying College Sports- -total BS

And so it begins, Big 12 action gets started tonight.- --( KSU / Cinn ) @ 6:00-- -- - Houston & Okla St - -& Iowa State & Colorado I think @ 8:00 guess I know what I'm gonna be doing lol

@kjayhawks was hoping he would magically go away

A dam shame 4 out of your 5 losses come from within your own division. - -Lost to Detroit twice and Minnesota twice both are 14-2

@drgnslayr He should of left for the UK job when the going was good lol - - -Oh wait was that Tang or Drew that UK was so inteested in-- Quality Coach's are so had to separate

@nuleafjhawk Oh , I know I felt terrible about it -- BUT thought I was going to lose some sleep - & I did -- when I had to fluff my pillows and pull the covers up lol

@dylans lmao , you already know my friend lol- --We did

BYU just embarrassed Colorado from start to finish.-- Think they sacked Sandes like 5 times , Colorado 2 yards rushing - BYU just in total control from start to finish. Can't say hurts my feelings any cause I have no use for Dieon Sanders, so was a really good game to watch

@patoh3 that was their decision. Not Iowa States problem. got to many of these guys option out, he didn't want to play or they didn't then that's on them. Iowa State was missing their best reviver, all games I watched today every team missing top key players

Actually a pretty good game to watch between Iowa State and Miami 41-35 Miami late 4th quarter. Love the offensive shoot uts, much better then a dam defensive game -BORING lol -Iowa State on the move

@drgnslayr Boy I hear ya, just bored to tears - -seems forever like we played last. -Way to long of stretch in between these games -why is that ?

Hopefully now conference starting this won't happen again

@stoptheflop Total mis match.- -TCU going to cur stomp these guys --They have a hell of a QB we got to put up with for a couple more yrs

Iowa St off and running over Miami 7-0 - -well not anymore lol- - 7-7
