The 5 spot • Nov 10, 2022 11:55 PM

@benshawks08 said in The 5 spot:

@jayballer67 I think the lack of boards for Grady is a result of him being the wing who is supposed to leak out and run. Let Wilson grab the boards and push it.

Braun was a wing

The 5 spot • Nov 10, 2022 08:40 PM

One thing for sure I found out afterward about our 5's - -between Udeh - - Clemence - - - & Ejiofor - -they managed 3 shots - - - THREE for the entire game, - -umm my friends that's not gonna get it done. - They have to be more involved in the offense then that. We have got to work more to get them more involved then that offensively.

If were gonna run with that then were in trouble. If we got KJ on the floor who poses no offensive Threat - - Juan who really isn't a great threat - - and then Our big's get THREE SHOTS for an entire game between them - - were in TROUBLE

On another note - -I found a flaw with Grady lol yes believe it or not - - Grady is gonna have to hit the boards harder then that - -Against Omaha - he got TWO - - Two boards not good

So K-State missed on Cameron Carr who is going to Tennessee. You might think oh well that's not a surprise but it's a hilarious loss given that they hired his prep coach on their staff AND his dad has been coaching at KSU (women's team) for 5 years now. Massive whiff that only a school as poverty as KSU could manage. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Now you play nice Mister lol

@mayjay said in Let's give a lil love to Coach Schneider /lady HawksUpdate:

About Nichols...did she already sign? Because I thought coaches can't comment after just an oral commitment. I could very well be wrong, but I don't follow the twists and turns of recruiting...

Yes both of the girls signed early period today. - -thing looking better. - -It's a great time to be a Jayhawk

@nwhawkfan said in Let's give a lil love to Coach Schneider /lady HawksUpdate:

Heard about the big recruiting score. Looking forward to another great season for the women starting tonight.

Wow, what a week for Jayhawks past and present. A bowl-bound football team, an alumna wins the NYC Marathon, Jacque Vaughn gets the Nets gig full-time, the Gradey Dick era starts with a bang. Hey, coach Tad Boyle even picked up his first five-star recruit at Colorado !

GREAT TO BE A JAYHAWK !!!

Peyton Manning Game Thread • Nov 09, 2022 12:36 AM

@benshawks08 said in Peyton Manning Game Thread:

@jayballer67 Can he defend opponents 4? No. He cannot. And it looks to me like self thinks the strength of this team is pace and Zach at the 4 would not help that. I think that’s a big reason kj is getting so much run. That and he earned self ultimate trust as a defend everything player.

At some point and time that defense can only carry a team so far, Maybe Zac can - -maybe he can't. - -The point really is with KJ and I like KJ just as much as the next person BUT KJ poses no threat offensively at this time-that really puts us at a disadvantage - -basically a 3 - 5 type scenario - -KJ at the 4 for sure can't help us. -a team can defend - -defend - -defend - -but if you can't put any pressure on the other team offensively on the other end of the floor if you can't score or if you have two liabilities on the offensive your in big time trouble.

Until KJ can prove he is some kind of an OFFENSIVE threat it's going to cause major problems.. Just like the host & co host of the local sports show here in Topeka said when they see KJ shoot the ball they just cringe I mean sure here in the early non con when you simply just over whelm these lesser lights it's not going to rear it's ugly head as much as when you get deeper and play quality teams - -like Duke - -and other team's where you just don't overwhelm - -where the talent is a wash or even in the other teams favor.

It's all good when we can get out and run and run and run force TO's - BUT when we have to play half court and run offense KJ at this point is a HUGE LIABILITY - -we can NOT just have two scoring liabilities on the floor at the same time - more often then not we are going to struggle to score enough the same problem we have had - -is the problem we still got. - Sure we score middle 80's now against these cupcakes - - but against league - -Kentucky -- Duke - and other bluebloods - then we easily can be in trouble - so it's really a wash if anything. KJ might be better defensively but offensively - -ummm no so pick your poison.

My thoughts: Gradey Dick is a stud, McCullar will be in contention for B12 DPOY, Jalen Wilson will contend for B12 POY, Harris was tied for 2nd in shot attempts so hopefully that keeps up.

I still think KU needs to get Zach Clemence going to reach their ceiling this year, but with the way Udeh looked, I think Self and staff should look at Clemence at the 4 spot because he has the skill set to play the 4 which I think is his natural position.

Actually that's a pretty good idea , hadn't really thought Zac at the 4. That actually might be a really good idea. -- He has the range to shoot in space actually best of the bigs, question is can he defend oppositiion four's ?

Thats a good idea , actually i think that might be a really good idea. He has the range for shot in open space , probably most flexible of the bigs. Question is can he defend opposition fours in space ?

We have to figure out what's going on right now , think he might have found Coach doghouse. -Poor practices , we know or should you better be at least be average or better to see much floor time with Coach
you better be ready to play both ends. - Something going on , they mentioned as much on loal sports cast today -hope he gets that straight cause I like that idea

Gradey’s shot • Nov 08, 2022 05:00 PM

@BShark said in Gradey’s shot:

Likely only going to be here one year.

ya your probably right , especially he plays like that. Gonna be interesting on how he adapts when teams shift their focus more on him , forcing him into other things - -keying on him to give it up , force him to move evn more without the ball. He has such a quick release and high shot , hard to defend. The key is guarding him not allowing him to get the shot

@BeddieKU23 said in Box Score Musings:

Great debut from Gradey. His active hands and the will to do the little things as a freshman stand out. He was terrific.

I was impressed with Udeh and understand he's a baby trying to crawl right now, but the tools are certainly there. If he can harness some of that energy to stay on the floor look out. I love the lob look he gives this team when on the floor but hopefully they will practice getting him comfortable with doing more than that in time. His defensive versatility that we saw on a few plays was tantalizing. Gave me some Doke vibes there.

Bobby had a really solid outing. Hitting that 3 was big and hopefully it's something he can hit at 30%. We really need him to keep a defense honest. We just really need him to stay healthy. He's important.

I think Jalen has shown some positive steps towards being the man from the 2 outings we've seen. He's got the ultimate green light & if he's hitting, he's a tough guard.

Nice starting point for the Hawks. I'm really concerned once we play real teams but it's important to enjoy the moment. Excited for Thursday

ya we could take some hits early - -example - - ( Duke ) with 3 seven footers they have plus other players- -could very easily get ugly. Just have to try and work our way through, like ol boy Mangino said keep sawing wood

Bobby needs to play more than 17 minutes.

KJ had a fine game, but I'd rather Udeh started. KJ played 29 minutes. Udeh, Zach, and Zuby combined for 22 minutes. I'm not sure I like that distribution.

just wondering if something going on with Zach ? - in dog house ? - -bad practices ? - -Now there is a scenario my gut tells me Zach get discouraged easily and by the end of the year hits the portal - just sayin - -could play out if things don't change during the year. Either he does bettr in practice - not sure what's up. I thought he would be the starte from last year I dunno

@wissox said in Box Score Musings:

Gradey Dick. Best KU Freshman debut since...hard to think of a better one to be honest.

JWill came close to a triple double. I really thought he'd never be much more than a decent player with our team, a kind of Kevin Young or Gregg Gurley type role player. Obviously the 2nd half of last season changed that prediction.

Maybe I'm wrong but other than Pettifords 13 points (which I don't see happening every night) the bench contributed little to this win. Udeh had some nice moments late when Omaha had run out of gas. I'm maybe a little concerned about a lack of depth.

We had 24 assists on 36 made baskets. I think that's considered good.

DeJuan played a reasonable facsimile of himself tonight.

It's not glaring in a rout like this one but 8-15 FT's is not good.

Udeh's 2 alley oop dunks reminded me of the last big we had whose name began with UD. Approx sees Embiid 1 and done potential with him. Now our ceiling is sky high if he develops that well.

Norm Roberts deserves a coaching win.

Overall grade of B+. Tell me I'm wrong, I can change it.

Grady had an awesome debut. - - Not sure if you remember there was a Player making his debut long time ago , no 3 point line back that - -some called him the Cookie Monster - -you know who that was ? - -Freshman start he went 10 - - -for - -10 from the field shooting that night. Name was Norm Cook , you remember him my friend ? - Not taking away from Grady cause Grady is insane but just remembering back to other good starts.- Came out of Illinois - -6ft 9 really good

@jayballer67 said in Mikey to Memphis:

Question. Why is it when a player we recruited and they choose another school , people feel the need to start in on them like the Bask Brothers.?- -- -when we are recruiting them oh they bunch of studs and we woul love to have them and then BAM it's like oh we don't really need he -OR he is over rated - -OR he would probably cause problems we don't need that. - pretty funny stuff.

17-18 yr old kids have a right to choose or change their mind - if he is good - -he is good - question is whwn they pick another school how does a kid go from very talented game changer - to an out cast trouble maker ?

The kid is a star, and has incredible skills. I wish the best for him. However, I'm relieved he won't be playing for us in his 1 year of college basketball before he goes to the NBA. I kept thinking how is Mikey and his 2 million Instagram and celebrity followers going to take it when Bill sits him on the bench for not playing defense?Are LeBron or KD going to speak out questioning Coach's decisions? Hell, KD demanded the Nets fire their coach and they did! And how teachable is a multi-millionaire kid who is basically going to be playing out the string for a year before he goes to the NBA? What if Elmarko comes in and beats him out ( similar to DD and Quentin Grimes ), are we going to hear criticism about Coach from NBA players, and those 2 million followers?

Coach is the best in the business. Premium, elite coach. Always has been- always will be. But that doesn't mean he's easy to play for. He rides players all the time. Most of the time, it's very effective. We've seen him bench people 100 times- we've seen him play lesser athletic players over better athletes (Mitch) because of the buy in by the player. Is a millionaire kid going to give it his all, bleed crimson and blue for KU - even when the coach is yelling at him, benching him, and messing with him for the 1 year he will be in college?

Like I said, I wish Mikey the best. I hope it works out for him better than some of the other stars Penny has signed. I think it had the potential to be a disaster if he signed here- feel free to disagree.

No I understand --again my biggest beef on this is how quickly a so called fan of a school turns on certain players/recruits when that recruit decides he isn't choosing our School

Ah yeah there will always be some "well he sucks, we didn't want him anyway" in recruiting. Comes with the territory. Thankfully KU fans aren't nearly as bad as some. KSU fans are really bad about it. Any kid that picks them is humble, hardworking, and does things the right way. Anybody who doesn't is an entitled diva who is only chasing a paycheck

@nwhawkfan Wow, this touches a chord with me too. I still have in a box somewhere S&S's from the 1990's and 2000's in baseball and college hoops. It's fun to pore through their lists of top high school kids. They had an extensive list, but the top 20 boys and girls players was where I went first. Now to look back at those issues and see their hits and misses. Amazing that most years their 20 names faded into obscurity before even making a name for themselves in college much less the NBA. Then you scan the lists of honorable mention kids, 100's of names and you'll see a well known life long NBA player.

This time of year it's still an instinct of mine to go to the magazine rack at, heck, there's hardly bookstores anymore, and look for the issue. When I'd come up with it I'd always regret not living near Kansas and seeing the latest greatest Jayhawk on the cover because I'd see the latest greatest in the region I lived.

Then I'd read the description of KU's team. Then I'd look at Duke and NC's and they ALWAYS wrote more about them! Of course they wrote more about our team than anyone else too so it's a shallow complaint!

In the days before internet the SS was important for the KU Schedule. I made sure to always keep an eye on that because it was really easy to miss a game when not living in the media range of KU.

I think we could start our own college basketball issue. It might lean a bit heavy towards KU but really who cares!

I think one of the Street & Smith that stuck out to me at the time was when the Cover had a picture of Nino Samuel - he was suppose to be a bigh thing. - You remember him? - think he was out of Salina

@jayballer67

Valid question. Mikey is good, no concern there. KU may have found the better fit and better player in the end (Elmarko) both in the way he plays the game and his character off the court. I think its valid to point those things out while not diminishing Mikey at all.

It's clear Mikey has bigger goals then college and his social media/puma deal with his entourage make it a difficult deal for any school to navigate.

My question back is why didn't any other big named school go after Mikey? He clearly is talented enough to play at any school and yet KU was the biggest school that even tried. That tells you a lot.

Recruiting services have more or less said the Mikey camp played some games. He's a distraction & I think KU ultimately dodged that from their program. Perhaps he will be a positive to Memphis, though risky.

I have to agree with you on Jackson no doubt about that. - -Agree about the distraction - -we learned enough about those kinds of things with Billy And Diallo, seems like every year there is always something.

I don't blame Mikey for having goals bigger goals then College - -why not ? - strive to get the best of what you want right ?- -But I do understand where your coming from like you said and valid why was KU the only Big name School. Obviously it's because of the distractions you mentioned. - -Yet the why did KU offer ? - -they were aware of all the distractions that came with Mikey & Puma ? - So my question with that is - KU was aware but yet they offered anyways - -just sayin

Don't get me wrong I wasn't meaning you or BShark when I posed the question - but just really still don't know again why some feel the need to throw personal insults at a kid or talk shade on a kid if we miss out on him after recruiting him and he decides he is going else where - -just seems kind of childish. - Like I said if he was a talented kid before then he is STILL a talented kid AFTER he goes to another school , he doesn't go from talented to really over rated. lol. - Have a great day my friend

@nwhawkfan Wow those were the days. I'm right there with you.

Question. Why is it when a player we recruited and they choose another school , people feel the need to start in on them like the Bask Brothers.?- -- -when we are recruiting them oh they bunch of studs and we woul love to have them and then BAM it's like oh we don't really need he -OR he is over rated - -OR he would probably cause problems we don't need that. - pretty funny stuff.

17-18 yr old kids have a right to choose or change their mind - if he is good - -he is good - question is whwn they pick another school how does a kid go from very talented game changer - to an out cast trouble maker ?
