I really like Zeke (can’t say that about mayo 🤢) but he isn’t earning as many floor burns as Id like to see.
5 second karma
Shot fake worked!
Hunter dunk alert 🚨 ‼️

Where are you able to find that data?

They are my team win or lose.
💯
I will state my dissatisfaction and complain. I will gnash my teeth. I won’t only state my dissatisfaction and only complain. I won’t only gnash my teeth, but also revel in the victories within the game not just on the scoreboard. I will enjoy the wins. I will take the good with the bad. I will enjoy the growth and wins. I will feel bad in the losses and down times. I won’t take the good times for granted. I am a Jayhawk in all times.
..but man the NIL. 😂
Curious why only Mayo can shoot?
Good big man passing there. Need chemistry to develop.
Not a big Diggy fan. Would like Moore to get his minutes - he makes up for it on the defensive end.
Love that rebounding effort!!!

Mayo well on track for his 6th 20+ game of the year
🤫 transfers don’t play well for Bill
Well there goes the shutout.

This got brought up and buried elsewhere. I think the significance of this could be far reaching.
Money is the current driver of sports, so messing with their plans might be a deal breaker. I can see the money making sports of basketball and football breaking away from the ncaa and having their own rules on NIL - probably a salary cap for each sport completely separate from the non-revenue generating sports.
This could still be a huge boon to the other sports (WBB, VB, BB, Tennis) as well since that would free up those moneys to go straight to them as the U saw fit.
@BShark I’m going to have a hard time watching football post Mahomes, but if they both retire at the same time…Yikes! It’ll be devastating.
@BShark They all are must win games against KSU!

An almost impossibly good streak. The next hire is critical, but I'm not sure who the first realistic call should even be. Doesn't seem like a lot of rising stars are out there.
I’m more worried about Andy Reid’s replacement. I’d like him to coach forever, but let’s be real there aren’t many JoPas out there.
The irony… Coach K left hero worshipped and hadn’t won a chip since 2015. Self is 3 year removed, has been ranked in the top 10 since then and a lynch mob is forming. 😂 Allen Fieldhouse may be the singular best home court in all of sports, but maybe the fans in Durham are better at realizing what they have. 🤔
@approxinfinity If your contention is Storr is a good basketball player and Self needs to go I believe the gulf in how we view the game is too wide to overcome. But here is where I’m coming from.
Storr is no good at being a teammate, I’ll stand by that. The ball movement already isn’t great, but he’s a black hole on offense and his defense is atrocious. If he could figure out how to switch and help on D he would get some run. However his advanced stats show that he is the same player for KU he was at Wisconsin - the difference is his usage is actually down from 32%!!! at Wisconsin to 22% at KU but it hasn’t made him any more efficient. He just isn’t that great of an all around player - just an inefficient volume scorer and below average defender.

Regarding Cheick and Cliffs playing time, I thought there were reasons we kept them out of some games to avoid forfeiture of wins or some such. Not just because Self deemed someone else a superior player.
Cliff got shut down just when it was starting to click. He was getting ready to be a monster. Damn family messed it up for him.

Bill Self had a phase where he recruited some questionable character guys. It really impacted this program, saddling us with the black eye of the half decade long investigation. The dude with the car accident (I've repressed the memory of his name and couldn't care less to learn his name), the dude with the shoebox money (ditto my other parenthesis), Josh Jackson the most talented of all the lowlifes we brought in. The dude who raped the woman. Vick, had some issues, forgetting exactly, Jalen Wilson DUI, and the aforementioned Cliff Alexander, a victim of his own ma if I recall correctly. I might be wrong but Selfs first decade with us was his strongest and we avoided these headlines.
The original post, excellent btw @approxinfinity, and @MoonwalkMafia, was what's happened to recruiting. Bill Self is still struggling to recover from the black eyes of the last decade.
But part of this is waiting for NCAA to work out the negativity of the NIL and portal eras. We brought in some highly ranked 5 star for next year. Normally I'd be stoked but now I'm just thinking he's another Grady or Furphy (who had like 1 good game while he was here using us to get to the league). So while maybe the character issue has been resolved, finding loyal guys to the program who see all of the 'trappings' that come with being a KU player has been difficult. I laugh at guys like Grady Dick who took the money and play for a gosh awful Toronto team. Must be really fun playing in a boring league in front bored fans. He was getting paid here and would be a huge part of KU lore had he stuck around. Instead he's an NBA afterthought. Would've gotten paid after this year or even his senior year a bunch.
88, 08, and 22 have forever etched themselves into my mind and make enduring these down periods a little less difficult. But I fear the aura of KU ball wearing off a little bit and always look at IU basketball, or Nebraska football as examples of programs that ruled their sport that haven't been able to get it together since. Anyone see IU fans abandon the Assembly Hall the other day against Illinois before the first half was even done? My worst nightmare for KU right there.
Having met Jalen Wilson and seeing as he has had no other issues I take offense to his inclusion on the bad actors list. He made a childish mistake, atoned for it, and didn’t have another single issue - if I’m not mistaken. His attitude and demeanor improved drastically after that and he became a model student athlete on and off the court.
Self seemingly hated Remmy Martin and road him to a championship. He’ll play the guys he thinks will give him the best chance to win. We all saw where Self gave up on the last game and gave Storr and Griffen extended runways - the game turned into a blowout quickly.
I do think Griffen can be a very good player for Self, but don’t see it in Storr. He’s just a volume shooter with not very many redeeming qualities.
Watch on ESPN nationally and ABC in KC. Streaming on UZZU, Fubo.TV and ESPN+
If you haven’t checked out UZZU it’s a good option for the normally non-streamers. It carries almost ever single game from what I’ve seen - no first hand usage, but my brother in law loves it. $125/year - not just sports either its got to be one of the cheapest tv options.
@DCHawker Agreed. They play very soft, it seems all players do everything in their power to avoid contact. I’d love to see slashers putting pressure on the other team by fouling them up. I’d like to see Flory drawing as many fouls as he gives. Improved rebounding and fouling up the other team are mostly effort plays, they can do it if they set their mind to it.
@patoh3 Don’t worry. The courts just said Title IX means the women need paid an equal amount as men’s sports. That 20 million payroll is to be split evenly between women’s and mens sports.
Guess that upcoming 4 million dollar volleyball budget will pay major dividends since volleyball draws the eyes.
Lance is running a border line shit show and everyone here is ready to give him a raise and pronounce him a saint for sticking around. Meanwhile a coach that has won at the highest level for 2 decades and won a national championship 3 years ago while his recruiting pipeline was impeded by the NCAA is the one folks want to run off? KU fans are so damn entitled it’s disgusting.
Storr must have a sky high usage rate. Black hole
Weak call
Hunt. Grab the rebound - rebounds win games guys. Figure it out.
Storr 🤦♂️
And one

I’d think their butts are half numb from the bench. Lol
@SlimShaddy54 and who steps up in his absence?
@DanR said in Looking forward to Hilton:
Otzelberger seems to be moving up from the 132lb to heavyweight wrestling class
He’s going to look like that boxer Butterball if he doesn’t watch out.
@SlimShaddy54 said in Looking forward to Hilton:
As much as we might try to find others to blame , once again Dickinson ha done nothing - -6 points
Would be nice if someone else would step up. It’s just been mayo and hunt carrying the offensive load this entire season.
Mayo being off is not good. This team doesn’t shoot very well. Rylan needs to get going to take pressure off Mayo. But that’s a tough ask tonight.
@patoh3 sloooow
Struggling on layups tonight.
Boo. And one ref
Diggy makes me sad
Hold ISU to 15 in the second half and blow them out! It’s an evil plan really. I approve.
Rylan needs to get on track. Mayo needs to shoot more. Hunt needs to dunk, KJ needs to only dunk. You know the normal gripes.
No offense.
Where is Clemence?
Made to pay
Rough call
Nice effort KJ!
