I didn’t realize Whit is 30. Think the Royals will trade him?

Found this humorous: Houston was ranked #19 in the ESPN way too early top 25, now after the Grimes signing they are unranked.

(Don’t pop a gasket Qs mom I know it’s not because of him, I just found it ironic)

Glad he’s someone else’s problem.

@bskeet that was the players punishment. The U could still be found culpable. Hope not, but with the ncaa who knows?

I can see it going both ways. The KU fan in me sees no sanctions coming. The realist in me thinks something is coming, but nothing too harsh. The pessimist in me sees the death penalty coming.

@approxinfinity Thanks!

So does anyone know when Qs mom joined the board?

@dylans Still not a reason to be a dick about him.

Only person calling names here had better look in the mirror.

Q didn’t perform and wussed out. How’s that make anyone a dick for pointing out he made zero impact at KU other than being a contributing reason the streak ended and running from adversity? A regular roll model I suppose.

I hated Dedrick’s time at KU as well. Last years team was wretched to watch. I’m glad the cancer has been cut out.

@Texas-Hawk-10 who? Still doesn’t ring a bell. TJ Whatley’s mustache had a longer lasting impression. I mean what are the odds I remember Grimes in 30 years?!?

Who is this Quentin Grimes? I remember no such player.

I didn’t realize KU snags 16% of the top 10 talent...well that’s how some make it seem. Lol

Mitch knows the Kansas way. Dotson will be the floor general. Garrett will be the vocal leader. Ochai will keep the teams spirit up - great attitude. McCormack can lead by example - great workout ethic.

Forgot Josh Jackson was from California. I though he was a Michigan kid for some reason.

Roy recruited well out of Cali, but wouldn’t recruit east of the Mississippi. Bill pulls recruits from everywhere and seems to like a harder type than you usually see out of California.

So grammatically speaking is it a OAD or an OAD? Inquiring minds want to know...An does not roll off the tongue.

@FarmerJayhawk One of my gf’s and I had a lot of fun discussing various names for Dicks sports goods. Our boys just rolled their 👀’s. We are grown now.🤣

Ironically Dicks is north of menards here. A regular anatomy lesson.

@Crimsonorblue22 tennis ball size hail here. The corn that was 3.5ft tall is now 2ft tall shredded sticks across half the county. Yuck.

5 star recruit? Big for a freshman 6’5” 175. That’s a mans body already. Hudy should like that frame.

I’m really glad most of the non-athletes have left the team. There is one newcomer it would appear though in Wilson (hope I’m wrong). Bill does better the more athletic his team.

One thing that always struck me, is Self said he looks for shooters first and foremost in recruiting. I wonder if that’s why he falls in love with a Garrett type whom he doesn’t have to reach nearly as much as the athlete-shooter who knows not much else?

Quick twitch is helpful, but not required in D1. Proper positioning is more important (hedging). At the pro level, they need everything.

I've come to realize that hedging isn't part of the coaching at Kansas (or at most D1 schools). It's a pity to give up such an advantage.

It is a relatively recent departure from hedging for Kansas, basically in the OAD era. Hopefully it returns.

Boom. Basically they don’t play together long enough to learn how to play good team D. Hedging, switching, lane jumping. All improve with team chemistry.

CP3 is stuck. Too much money in that contract for anyone to trade for him, too good to let him walk...unless he really does make James Harden cry about his man boobs. Lol

@approxinfinity 6’8” with a wing span to match makes up for a little quickness. He’ll get some minutes to season him for next year if nothing else.

Bill likes Garrett, it doesn’t matter what we think! Dudes gonna get playing time.

If a Jr and a Sr can’t get minutes over low ranked freshmen, redshirting will not help. Redshirting would mean they have to compete against more experienced Sophomores the next season, unless there is a mass exodus.

@BShark Hope he gets a couple.

I hope McBride is good enough to get minutes this year to season him for next year. It looks pretty bleak without Dotson on the roster.

@BShark Self has to point Wilson towards the locker after practice. Lost lol. He’s green, hopefully he gets better once acclimated.

@Woodrow Yeah, Woj and Steven A., Jalen Rose, Max Kellerman, every taking head and analysist down to Stugotz has said it. But until Kawhi or his agent say something it’s just the same year old speculation. It’s just heating up, because he’s out of his contract now.

Kawhi, the most boring super star ever.

@Woodrow Kawhi has said he likes LA. The speculation since he was traded to Toronto is that it was a one year rental ending with him going to the Clippers. The problem is it’s all speculation, Kawhi doesn’t say anything. That dude is very quiet.

The Kawhi merry-go-round begins.

@approxinfinity glad I’m not the GM. Ahem Magic. Also glad I’m not a lakers or nba fan.

Lakers are the favorites at several sports books before the trade was announced simply based on speculation they’d get Davis. If they get another all star FA to pair with them they’ll be legit, but no bench.

@BShark I agree. OADs are a stop gap or a minor boost. They shouldn’t be the whole show.

@AsadZ I guess Moss doesn’t count since he’s a grad transfer? Multi-year players are the ones that make the biggest difference IMHO. It takes years of playing in the system (and preferably together) to unlock the full potential of the offense.

Self doesn’t like to redshirt freshmen.

Holy cow, a torn achilles and an acl is one way to end a dynasty. I’d hoped someone would actually beat them.

It tickled me when a random man in a bar was asked who he was rooting for. He replied, I don’t like he NBA, but America, go Warriors. 😆

Screw Duke! ...That is all.

@BShark Dook?!? Lol yeah right.

@wissox yes and yes

@BShark didn’t exert himself and shot 7 of 8

@FarmerJayhawk Linebacker number. Sic ‘em.

I wonder if Durant’s leg was ever going to heal with rest or if this was inevitable? It looked like an Achilles’ injury from the outset.

@Crimsonorblue22 Sounds like the DR is a good place to get shot.

So Moss is the better version of Grimes?

Ok @FarmerJayhawk you asked for it (my fears not desire): Moss’ highlight video had him going off in a game they failed to reach 20 points by halftime. Garrett is an offensive liability. Dotson is good, but not Frank Mason Sr year good and Frank didn’t win anything. Dok will get hurt by the seasons end. Wilson isn’t here yet; Eunanura isn’t ready for big minutes. McCormack is rough. McBride is too short to get his shot so easily in college. Silvio is rusty as heck!

Michigan St is talented and experienced playing together. Duke has all the young talent. KU is cobbled together at the last minute.

I’d say we are getting robbed by injuries, but this series is so boring I haven’t watched a game. First finals I’ve completely skipped since before Jordan.

BShark said:

Do we actually have reasonable reasons to believe he will come to KU? Haven't heard anything other than pundits assuming it. Could be after being forced out at Arkansas that he just returns to Iowa.

Would love to add him, but I don't think it's automatic.

Will be Kansas for Moss

@Bshark What happened in the span of two posts?

@KUSTEVE cough 1.6 cough but point taken.
