Im very disappointed, but now isnt the time to assess blame or dole out condolences. Ready for us to do what we can with the guys we got. Heroes are made in March!
@DanR ah yep! Here we go /topic/13346
Hear ye, hear ye.
Ive started a group, come homer, come realist!
Someone could pony up a fat purse for winning the NIT to incentivize, call it the NILNIT henceforth.
I dont buy the “untouchable” business. Sherron didnt ride pine. Malik and Remy had time to shine, etc. If we had a capable scorer that could spell Dajuan we would use them.
@kuballin10 two injured 3rd team all americans, to be clear.
@Texas-Hawk-10 always love the work you put in on this in the lead up to tourney. Thanks dude.
Lets go Wolfpack
We could use a Momcilovic
Iowa State is crushing Houston
Ok gotcha, forgot about that part of the morningstar chapter
Was Morningstar recruited over? I dont remember. I remember people bitching about him starting
@wissox the immortal Leonard Hamilton.
I think Aaron Miles, Russ Rob and Marcus Garrett are all the right comps here. As much as I love Frank he didnt get to a FF. All three of these guys and Dajuan did.
@patoh3 i agree with this request that you @kuballin10 make your own thread but also i am fully prepared to talk this out there. I think it warrants its own thread on the merits (if not for toxicity containment)
I just dont understand recruiting Elmarko. Again, with 20-20 hindsight. Not a scorer. Should have recruited 3 capable scorers at guard and got none.
Aaron Miles couldnt lead the team through scoring when we lost to Bucknell. Russ Rob wouldnt have done it by himself. We knew Dajuan wasnt a score first guard. Everything around Dajuan is a dumpster fire. Come on man.
@kuballin10 why arent you dogging Elmarko? Kid can't shoot the 3 ball, or dogging Nick? Clearly underwhelming. Or bitch about Self recruiting a rapist that has made exactly zero threes for KU. Juan is better than all those guys. You're barking up the wrong tree.
@kuballin10 u were called negative because you are negative. Juan would be fine if he had the right crew around him. You just can't have this many guys who aren't shooters. want Juan to be one of them fine.
Gosh, what will i do with the 10 brackets i usually pen KU in to win on?
@Texas-Hawk-10 yeah thats a valid point. But you can only have so many guys that cant shoot. And when you lose one or two of the few that could then you are screwed.
Give Bill a freak shotblocker and glass eating bohemoth. And 2 40% 3 and D guys. That cost 4 mill?
@FarmerJayhawk said in Short Handed Hawks vs Cincy Game Thread:
Nick a Sterling -22 tonight sheesh
:face_screaming_in_fear:
Well, we have been spoiled by Bill giving maybe more of a damn than a sane person would have with some of those rosters he won the league with. Look back at some of those rosters. Sure some were loaded but some were THIN. Hes afforded a mulligan this season. But really hope the portal looks much better this year
Not sure why you bring Elmarko here with 20-20 hindsight. Nothing wrong with Juan playing big minutes, thats where i disagree with you @kuballin10 . But Elmarko cant shoot, and Nick has been a headcase.
Who recruits the portal for us? Can Case do it next year? We need to focus on portal
So is Liam McNeesons Batman?
Welll crap
@kuballin10 glad you are here to crap on our team so i can revert to being a blind homer down the stretch
Bad offense leads to bad defense…
Ticky tack shit on the floor for them
Good defense leads to good offense
Bad call . No foul
Wonder what KJs vertical is
Well shit. Im gonna pay for it staying up for this, make it worth it boys!
@FarmerJayhawk good to hear!
Good d by elmarko too
Want Jamari to come back. He can get minutes.
I dont blame him
The pass to nick was at his shoes
Well Cinci is only at 40% from the field but 41% from 3 and +6 on boards.
Not making shots would be ok if we were a good defensive team. Lately that hasnt been the case.
How Elmarko was a 5 star is beyond me. With the way people change schools now maybe the rating scale should change to reflect what they will be their freshman year and not beyond.
@Texas-Hawk-10 i dont see hunter as a leader either, hes goofy.
As much as i understand its the new order of things, knowing Jamari and Elmarko are gone after this year really is a kick in the nuts.
@dylans we got some options :face_with_tears_of_joy: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
:zany_face:
@jayballer67 umm so he spends NIL on everything else ;)
We have a team that can beat anyone. This is Kev’s last hurrah. I hope he plays like it, and Dajuan and Hunter do as well. Frankly I dont want to hear them talking about next year. This team can win it all. It can drop a couple more, but has to lock in and focus on the big prize.
Dont want to delete it. i like this thread too.
@kuballin10 happy?
