Theres Shak

@wissox really? Ok! I thought it was :) i drove though utah but not salt lake,
Mb

They did have a Winter Olympics there

Playing flat in Salt Lake? Place is flat, yo!

Not much to complain about with the minutes so far though. Dunno whats up with Shak. But Rylan didnt have it and Storr made sense.

Sorry its Coit not Shak. Want Shak.

“Doesnt miss many of those “ and the emperor wears no clothes.

Juan is doing great.

Hey look, shak and flory in and we start getting stops

Yay. I love seeing these KJ and Flory minutes. Thank you Bill

Wow foul man bun! We got this

Clean block, bs

Just let Flory play and get Shak out there, please

Well at least Dajuan is trying

Soft is the best word i think.

10-3 utah. Timeout Bill

Juan with a 3

Elbow clank < layup

@Texas-Hawk-10 is Mcdowell ever going to get more than walk on minutes? Feels likely to be recruited over?

I thought he seemed promising but then no longer appeared to be impactful when in.

Balanced scoring would obviously be good, even with Peterson bolstering a pretty average perimeter offense. Think the question about interior scoring is still valid. I also think Flory has shown some creativity as well as versatility (he just goes after it and gets to things) that can translate to consistent buckets with 30 mpg. We should still recruit another offensively skilled big I think.

@jay4ever i am kind of excited we are the internet progenitor of slothrocious dismayfense, ngl.

@jay4ever its a portmanteau of sloth and atrocious, and dismay and defense. Work in progress…

@rockchalkjayhawk ha. I was more in it for Jennifer Coolidge :) hilarious and brilliant.

Disclaimer: I am more invested in quality portmanteaus than in catagorizing the team realistically. Do you guys like “slothrocious dismayfense”?

@SlimShaddy54 love it

@nuleafjhawk we are just in it for fun, we release everything. Catching catfish over the winter has scratched the itch. Ready for the bass to start biting, but a carp seems like a lot of fun!

Also, The Gentlemen on Netflix was good.

We have gotten into it in my house. Recently, my boy saw a massive dead carp on the side of a nearby stocked pond.

I understand you can catch a carp with bread? Anyone have experience with carp they can relate?

White Lotus Season 3 starts Tuesday. Really enjoyed the first 2 seasons.

Also, I enjoyed season 1 of all these shows, all of which wrap up nicely with little unresolved:

The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray

Hijack (they are planning season 2… why?)

American Primeaval (thanks for the tip @MoonwalkMafia )

@Texas-Hawk-10 as long as Flory’s strength isnt a health risk, the benefits of his play outweigh the limitations. If he gets stripped three times a game, or muscled out, he still is super active on the glass; he is getting stripped because he is getting to balls that KJ does not. Nobody would accuse Kevin Durant of being strong (I know they are very different players). You dont need to be strong to have a positive impact.

Also, I know you are an advocate for more even minute distribution. Yes, KJ is more mature, but I see Flory being capable of being more effective in most situations than KJ right now.

Do think its worth asking… do you think we are staying competive in the portal era without a GM?

Per a comment by @BShark, i found this article about college bball GMs: https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-programs-turning-to-general-managers-inside-the-money-moves-from-new-age-front-offices/amp/ ↗

@Texas-Hawk-10 roster construction was still a problem then, but not minute distribution… good old days.

Wondering if what comes easy to one guy and requires effort from another to replicate does not make the latter a better player.

Unfortunately with slothrocious defense for 30 min a night from our 5 seemingly a given, one must choose between these 2 at the 4.

It is great to hear high profile coaches talk about Kansas as a destination school. If we are spoiled ass Kansas fans I would like to be spoiled for another couple decades

@dylans lol. Creative problem solving.

As the pendulum swings, restoring sanity in some places, madness in others…

Thanks for keeping us on top of this.

@RockChalkinTexas miss you! Glad to hear you’re doing okay. Feel free to stop in and talk about walks, weather, good books, whatever. This board is for people who are casual fans as well as maniacs and everyone in between.

@kuballin10 i think our offense is too anemic with Hunter out. But would be thrilled to be wrong

@Texas-Hawk-10 Dajuan / Moore / Mayo / (Bidunga/KJ) / Hunter then? Bump Rylen?

Colorado has the #10, #18 and #42 nba draft picks in 2023-2024? Dang Tad

Is Harris our best slasher?

Juan looking good in transition

Wow ok. Flory getting wrecked. Get KJ in there!

Coit came to shoot

Timeout jayhawks, Fran is excited!

Happy about 11 assists

Florida is #3. Are they for real?

@Crimsonorblue22 ah. Nice. Def wish Tad and Danny success

@Kcmatt7 because its a bad CU team?

Seems like a “more possessions means larger margin of victory over inferior team” gameplan
