@HoraceZontal maybe. But i feel like this year has brought a lot more debate. Some of the things which we all historically gave Self the benefit of the doubt on have been discussed in more depth this year. And someone has to be at the extremes since we are all different people. So I hesitate to endorse throwing all the shade at one or two people. And while I dont think we should all be extremist (therein lies madness and misery) those who are more polar do facilitate the tension that is necessary for discourse.
As long as we have their endorsement to call them trolls to cut the tension ;) block is there for a reason obviously, but I have kind of soured on cancel culture personally.
@SlimShaddy54 “spray in eyes to deter shark…” you sure this stuff really works?
@HoraceZontal i feel bad because i posted that bart simpson pic of not feeding the troll, but i dont mean to catagorize @kuballin10 as a troll so much as some of his posts. Please read “troll” in my context as a gerund, i.e. the troll was the post that preceded it, where @kuballin10 was trolling, rather than that kuballin is a wholesale troll; I believe he has merit in his takes, they just sometimes come out all caustic-like.
@drgnslayr the only time Hunter can and should leave the block is when Flory is rebounding
@benshawks08 Tarik was tough. He just wasnt at talented as Embiid. Tarik got his cup of coffee from the NBA, will KJ?
As for the other guys, with Remy as a comp… did Remy get the quick hook on or two bad possessions like these transfers? I cannot remember tbh.
Not sure Remy is a good comp either because he was a one year rental. It culminated in a postseason and then out. There was a finish line.
When trying to develop multi year transfers, Im not sure Self has much success besides Withey? What about guards? And adding into the equation that they no longer sit year one, I think something is broken with the formula.
@nuleafjhawk it was basically two lights and a fireball, lofi. Im glad that was the extent of it.
I agree with a lot of the optics @kuballin10 is criticizing after this win. If i hop into some of these points please let me be a fallible human and not admin, and I acknowledge that its just my opinion.
All I know is that i feel connected and invested this year, inversely proportional to the amount of disconnect I feel Bill has with some players :)
@Crimsonorblue22 I think not playing Flory caps our ceiling. This team is deeply fractured and a win at AFH over a top 10 team that went belly up may be fools gold. I think there is reason for skepticism.
ChatGpt is getting good at this… first take.
Title: “House of the Stubborn Coach”
(To the tune of “House of the Rising Sun”)
[Verse 1]
There is a man in Lawrence town,
Who coaches Jayhawk ball.
He’s got a five-star on the bench,
But won’t play him at all.
[Verse 2]
Oh, Flory came with promise,
A rim protector tall.
But Bill just sticks with KJ,
Won’t let that freshman ball.
[Verse 3]
Now KJ’s tough, no question,
A warrior down low.
But size don’t lie, and Bidunga’s got
The length to block the show.
[Verse 4]
The fans cry out, “Hey, play the kid!”
The future’s on the pine.
Yet Bill just shrugs, his stubborn ways,
Say, “KJ’s doin’ fine.”
[Verse 5]
Oh mother, tell your children,
If they sign with KU blue,
They might just sit if Bill decides
He’s loyal through and through.
[Verse 6]
So now we wait for Flory’s day,
If ever it shall come.
‘Til then, it’s KJ’s battle,
And Self’s the stubborn one.
@kjayhawks i think unless he lives under a rock he has been hearing things from a lot of places recently
Our next 6 games are pretty light
Only thing Self forgot is keeping his starters in until the buzzer ;)
Wellp. Hunt dribbles into a double then runs the court to get the emphatic block. Works.
I appreciate when #8 in the country floats into AFH and goes belly up.
@DanR dont worry, theyll just ask you if youve seen Lance around
@DanR lol
The sound of the opposing teams shotclock expiring… nothing sweeter in bball
@kjayhawks someone told him as a child that upright ferrets can never be good defenders and he took it to heart.
Hunt why are you giving away baseline? Take it away and let your guards rip
That was pretty
Good sequence for Juan.
@kjayhawks yeah whatya know, we maintain intensity in the second half with Flory in
Cant find if Flory has a middle name. Need to maximize our nickname opportunities
Get Bidunga’d
@nuleafjhawk no specifically, when you play hide and seek
“Sometimes i coach whomever Kansas is playing against from here” — Fran
Fran is so very awful in every aspect. His praise is as inaccurate as his criticism.
(Also this question can wait til after game. Im curious if we will miss a window of NIL dominance as other teams quickly ramp up their NIL budgets)
At what point do the people paying Kansas’ #1 NIL come knocking asking for the people they paid for to play? Have we hit that threshold?
Also does that factor into the longer rotation?
@wissox the decacentarians
@Zabudda yeah Bill looks miserable both times they talked to him. Hope that works itself out.
“Whats different tonight?” “Umm nothing. Theres still time for an epic collapse”
Happy with the minute distribution so far. Hope we get to see similar flexibility second half
Yesssssss
Why is mayo dribbling into a doubleteam?
Iowa state shoving off every play. Dajuan, lets get a charge on these fools (zeke could have drawn one there)
@Kcmatt7 me neither. But i do appreciate KJ not being a dick to Flory.
Flory next to Hunter is much more effective. But Flory getting some chances at the 5 is good for him…
As long as we get the W
Ok, Flory maybe showing a little regression / freshman wall on offense without Hunter. Good opportunities to deal with the defensive focus
Ok KJ chestbump for Bidunga. Good vibes there
@wissox lol
@SlimShaddy54 for what?
@wissox rude. Kid needs a break
Oh, someone got up as soon as Storr missed it, looked like Rylen
AJs shot slips out his hand and Rylan to the scorers table
Youve got mayoooooooooo
Moore grew 2 inches in a Kansas uniform
Im here for this to be the AJ game
@DanR were they yelling at each other or something?
I mean Flory and Hunt
