Ok seriously. I nominate @Jethro for the “New Superstition Award” on account of his new name making us win it all.

@approxinfinity whoops sean may was 05, was thinking about another roster
@BShark :) sure, sean may got onto the bus to success. There has to be quite a few ppl, maybe not bluebloods.
Surely the NIL rules change the equation somewhat though @BShark . Doesnt transparency and consistency in the NIL market allow for more clear comparison to pay at the pro level, causing an increase in pay for some to make it equitable, and more clarity in the decision making process? Is there anyone you would say at this point that stayed when they would have not stayed before? Tschiebwe maybe?

Would Caleb Love have returned to school without NIL in place?
It feels like we are just scratching the surface of how lucrative NILs can be. Having an advertising presence can help build a brand that someone who is social media savvy (like Jalen maybe) might capitalize on after college whether or not he goes league
Love these 2 pics. Lets go tyrese 🐦 View Tweet?s=20&t=Xg7elYe-euBwtr5ikqCLkA
JCL didnt get the role a 1500 point scorer might have expected. Never seemed once to complain or suffer because of it. Team player and wearing a championship ring. Would love to see him catch on as a coach.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in What no one wants to mention Jay Wright retiring?:.
Bill Self and Jay Wright coached against each other 4 times in the NCAA tour tournament and the winner always went on to win the NCAA championship. They are the two best coaches of this era to me.
Well put
@BShark lol @ “ What was your favorite Shaedon Sharpe memory?”
Because we didnt win as much individual hardware... I would like to create an (un)official KUBuckets annual Ochai Agbaji award for the biggest team player on the team. This year the award goes to Ochai Agbaji, with Dajuan 2nd in my voting and Dave third.
Dave Mccormack wins the first annual Dave Mccormack award for grit and grind, Wilson wins the Jalen Wilson versatility award, Remy wins the Remy Martin xfactor award, and CB wins the CB award for talking the talk while walking the walk.
@Kcmatt7 i have to admit i had withdrawl symptoms after that team. I was irritated with Self because it felt like he was restricting some of our later teams’ guards ability to gamble while he let Chalmers and Robinson jump whatever they wanted.
@Kcmatt7 i think it makes sense that they were on the same team, as a lot of those steals were jumping passing lanes and they were both great on ball defenders not to mention the bigs and rush guarded well so there were lots of passing lanes to jump.
Hmmm whats up Cam, Brendan, Mark?
@BShark grat article all around. I love to see how Mclemore has grown from a good kid to a good man. And I love to hear Self talking about capitalizing on the momentum that winning it all has given us.
@Kcmatt7 congrats man. My youngest is a hellion born shortly before lockdown. Hopefully yours will be a little more diplomatic… but only a little. It will be interesting to see how history divides the generations. My guess is there will be some stark differences between those growing up pre and post COVID, and im guessing these guys will live with eyes wide open.
@wrwlumpy ha. You could do collages of anything i would still check em out.
You wouldnt know looking at ESPN. But Coach K got a new puppy. Who is that? Never heard of him.
We cant have one story on ESPN speculating as to our boys’ intentions because they simply don’t know and don’t want to know.
@Crimsonorblue22 in that story about Yes you posted

@Crimsonorblue22 that pic of andrew jones is nuts. Shows the extent these kids will sacrifice their bodies to get a few inches of advantage on their opponent. Baller.
The news needs to stop being the murder, malign and fight hour. No wonder kids are unaware of the news. Sprinkle in some kindness and genius.
@Jethro aww little Stinky! Looks like a beast! Lets get him!
@rockchalkjayhawk oh god it was brutal. Man city was shell shocked rest of half. I still think Turner should start.

Man Remy & David hit such HUGE buckets late in this game - -just ice in the veins . - I could watch things like this over & over &over
Lol i enjoyed the prolongued blur over brauns mouth after he dunked on St Johns at around the 3:30 mark
“After the what-ifs of 2020 and a disappointing exit in 2021, Bill Self's squad made their intentions known with wins over Texas Tech and Creighton. “
Texas Southern and Creighton. Texas Tech fans think they could have beaten us in the tourney whilst chalking up losses they didnt even play, haha.
@BShark yeah but… yeah….
@bskeet maybe with legit tall guys coming in Dave could play the 4?
I want whatever is best for Dave. Its hard to say what that is.
Dave Mccormack, KU legend. As Mark Jackson used to say, “mama there goes that man”
@Jethro cowboys and lakers suck.
Yankees overpay.
I think of KU more like the spurs. Always good (even if theyre rebuilding right now) , great coach with a long tenure.
If anyone wonders how the ranked wins play out for percentages in the last decade… then offset this with the massive recruiting advantage duke has. https://betiq.teamrankings.com/college-basketball/betting-trends/win-loss-records-vs-ranked-opponent/?season=since-2012-2013 ↗
The change in transfer rules has really changed my feeling about departures. We can afford to lose guys like KJ more now. It makes it easier to just wish him the absolute best if he leaves, because if he becomes a starter and a stud somewhere else then he chose wisely. Id love to see him 4 years in crimson and blue, but Id also love to see him become a beast at a place where he gets extended run.
Hope we get some good soundbites from the Frans of this world. Something like “hes crazy passing up Dick for the Wilder jam. Right now Dick is automatic.”
@BShark im starting to wonder if Self recruited Remy and Cam to be practice players, Remy having lit us up twice and Cam resembling the brothers that almost beat us last year.
@BShark said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
@Crimsonorblue22 I will not particularly miss Cam Martin.
Hey hes a champion like Matt Kleinmann
Practice player extraordinaire. Never forget!
@FarmerJayhawk no thank you to nolley. Attitude problem.
I can prob create a category behind the auth wall if that helps
Or add me to the dm list? :)
I think they both go. But that entirely depends on Jwills NBA feedback. If his measureables arent good he will have to decide if being the man for another season would help him.
@jayballer67 i think the duke unc ff was 18.5. Hopefully we opened some eyes for those who watched UNC beat Duke then lose to us. #BWKU
@jayballer67 glad you're ok, seems like you should not do nothing in this situation, it's not like you did anything to provoke then unloading in your direction in the first place.
@BShark the natty trophy waits for no half eaten sandwich in your lap
Been thinking about Remy and Self all day. What a beautiful thing for Self to recognize how much we needed Remy and to trust him and for Remy to deliver.
@DanR haha you made my day
This year was pretty damn special. Coming in with low (realistic?) expectations and then having the team step up in such a big way. I have a newfound appreciation for Self. He deeply understood this team and it was a pleasure to watch him operate. He proved that he is very much a modern coach and still has the magic touch when it comes to managing personalities and drawing the best out of players.
