Why do we need to get out of the Big 12?
Sorry, as a guy who runs a msg board that generates zero revenue because i enjoy your company, im just not understanding…
This is so we might smite our enemies and win every year?
@bskeet congrats to you and your boy. Thats fantastic!
@Kcmatt7 said in Lance is COOKING:
@Crimsonorblue22 a year and a half now. In the throes of toddler tantrums 😂
My youngest is 5, and has just recently become sufferable. Good luck.
@Crimsonorblue22 I’d be happy with that.
Who are we playing twice? Does it change every year?
Glad its not “catch and kill”
@Texas-Hawk-10 you make sound arguments. For many kids the g league route is probably a strong option.
I can think of several others: public exposure, confidence, peers of the same age, other NIL, etc
@Texas-Hawk-10 agreed thats what g-league is for,
but it seems that NIL has shifted the balance, with g league ignite going away. Would seem that a high profile college program with a difficult schedule offers several advantages that may work better for some, including not getting your ass kicked by grown ass men with a chip before your body fills out
Again, I will suggest that the NBA should be allowed to draft and stash players in college. Let the Spurs draft him and pay him guaranteed money/NIL to keep playing for Bill.
I would be surprised if Furphy wasnt a first rounder. Also would be surprised if it was top half of first.
The arguments here have all been good.
Actually i think rodmans was 7’3 and kj’s is about 6’9
@drgnslayr i’ll bet dennis rodmans wingspan was a foot larger
@mayjay boooooo
@nuleafjhawk actually im happy to watch or discuss anything you find interesting
@nuleafjhawk want to discover your love of soccer and watch USMNT and Chelsea with me?
@BShark Kugel’s dad played football at Mizzou
Heres maybe a more relevant comparison @Texas-Hawk-10 : Kevin Mccullar. Will we remember Mccullar more significantly than Furphy? Two underwhelming seasons for the team, and shutting it down his last season early. Fair or not, I dont think there is much difference between their impacts on the program.
Maybe you can argue that Mccullar was more capable of being top dawg than Furphy at this stage, and that’s fair. But Furphy was still standing when Mccullar was lost, and in my opinion, his game was more enjoyable to watch, all youth and upside.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I dont think it's dumb. It's just incongruous, and hard to come up with anything absolute. But I'm not trying to do that. I'm not trying to say "Furphy is BETTER than Wiggins". I'm specifically saying that in the annals of Jayhawk history, I don't think Wiggins and Embiid would have occupied a much larger space than Furphy had they not gone on to be NBA stars.
@Texas-Hawk-10 our best defensive lineup would be… dajuan, elmarko/jamari, rylen, kj, flory? Might we preserve a lead with that?
I think he marginally increased viewership for the season and recruiting for this offseason which has a cascading effect. Not profound, but net plus.
I do think 2013 still makes tourney with Furphy instead of Wiggins.
@dylans that 2013 roster imo was much better https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/kansas/men/2014.html ↗
@kjayhawks alright, thats fair. I think our assessment of his defense was higher going into the season than at season's end. Hopefully he won't be asked to guard behemoths, and hopefully we won't have to switch everything next year?
@dylans embiid and wiggins carried the team to a second round exit against Stanford? I mean just Wiggins, because Embiid didnt play in the tournament, right?
Is that carrying the team?
Did Furphy not win games for us?
I fail to see a real difference tbh.
@kjayhawks said in Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster:
a guy that can’t guard, shoot or rebound doesn’t need to be out there for 30 plus minutes a game.
He cant shoot the 3 or rebound.
He can guard 1-5 and shoots inside the arc very well.
Just keeping it real.
@dylans the team sucked and furphy was a bright spot. Your criticism could be said about wiggins and embiid as well, had they not gone on to nba success. Maybe his success contributed in part to the guys we pulled this offseason, as he is proof that a player can come in and in one season improve their stock dramatically.
I’m glad we had Furphy and he made the season much more watchable for me.
Id like Hunters minutes to go down as well. We need him fresh for the post season.
@SeanArcher welcome to KU Buckets! Stay a while! :)
@CasterTroy welcome to KU Buckets! Stay a while!
Is that all the schollies? We done for next seasons roster?
If hunter comes back the proven d1 scoring on this roster is ridiculous
@kuballin10 dont let him suck you into his black hole of whine
@kuballin10 dont feed the trolls, like @BShark, he’s not worth it
Whats up with Hield? Short playoff minutes?
The amount of minutes we may have returning is frankly shocking given the mood immediately after the season.
Are there tampering rules around this? Once we destroy the NCAA who is going to do anything about it?
@kuballin10 if we pull acuff and griffen are you prepared to say the staff took care of business this cycle and not second guess that whenever we lose games?
Thats a whole lot of Kansas swag
@jayballer67 Duke losing everyone to portal and “NIL ruining college basketball”. Nahhh :) sounds pretty good to me!
@Gorilla72 lolll
This aged well… :face_with_tears_of_joy: 🐦 View Tweet
Philon looking?
@jayballer67 that is a fantastic point. If other high talent players want to play with Juan, that should certainly be considered by people who want high talent players on our team.
@dylans yeah i expect something along those lines is already where we are shifting. Which is why I am incredibly excited about our ability to get top shelf talent going forward. I think Bill Selfs finishing school will be in high demand for NBA teams.
@Jayblaze I think we have moved in the opposite direction with NBA folding the G League ignite team this year. NIL is where its at, for now.
It will be a bummer if Philon bails.
