McNeeley to UConn

Good for him - -wouldn't fit hee with the proven experienced wings we got coming in - - Were Good

been watching huge wedge tornado just missed Lincoln Nebraska- - -been following live and People saying Omaha took a direct hit-- - over Airport and others -- - some were saying Down Town Omaha - -doesn't sound good.

Just put us in a Tornado watch till nine--Nebraska has been gettin pounded they say

just saw by Swain-- Huntr announced- -- He is BAACCCCCCCCCK- ---ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Is today the final day for Hunter to declare or what ?

this makes for a Great Friday. Now my question, are we finished ? -- Speculation Kugel not going to make it academically , If no one transfers out -- -nobody , everybody stays With Griffin signing , are we at our max- -or is the possibility of Kugel not making it , does that still give us one ? - -if we still have one do we go after Small ? -Are we done now or not ?mall

Jo , Jo with 50 last night I saw

Hopefully he comes back, he now has the players that can surround him from the outside--open things up

@drgnslayr said in Portal/transfer , now THIS would P - - - me off if true.:

I'm hearing Philon left because Acuff will sign. It's a rumor now. Anyone have knowledge or comments about it?

He's a gifted scorer, especially for a PG. Can he run the offense well? Will he be a multi-year player? (I think so)

Thing is , Bossi was saying the two Schools to watch for him to go to now ia Alabama & Ol Miss.--Bossi stated that the thing is that the big reason he was transferring was because of the depth in KU back court and his possible minutes he would be getting, saying Ku back Curt is crowded or will be.- Looking to be able to play minutes

Bossi also said that the thing is Bossi doesn't understand because the two Schools that was mentioned ,Alabama & Ol Miss is Philion would be in the same spot that he is at KU- -both those Schools same shape KU is in or will be. Just another case of a kid feeling entitled where the spot should just be given to him , insed of him having to prove he deerves to be that starter..

Roflmao , just got through listening to one of my favorite podcasts. ,( Could be wrong ) love that podcast.- -Had me rolling today talking about KT and all this and that , talking about NIL talking about joking like here's a bag for you, and a bag for you, and a bag for you --& like WAIT don't cash that check for a couple of weeks yet, we got to move some money around lol. -Telling a player ya well w know we said we would make a deal of 750,000-- ya well it's actually gonna be more like 600 thousand lol. they crazy lol.

Serious note -seems to think we will hear about Griffin Friday probably, fully think he will be a Jay Hawk, but probably hear something probably Friday

One thing they was saying to, that no doubt KU has got some guys now With Mayo and Storr that can get buckets - -I agree on that for sure. Saying Stor will probably drive Coach nuts, BUT Coach will be so far up Storr a - - , that by the end of the year your going to see a guy totally different. -They were talking and saying Coach knows what he is getting in a player, might be like with a guy like Storr - - -he say to Coach I'm going to shoot 15 time a game - - -Coach be like that's fine , you better make them -- -you don't make them you better play some D.

They reall brought up some good points today -when they wasn't iving one anothr the business lol

@bskeet said in Portal/transfer , now THIS would P - - - me off if true.:

What theater are you going to that has cheap concessions???

I was just getting ready to ask the same thing. They are ?- - - - Where ? lol

And this is why NIL has screwed up College Athletics--- just minor league team. -Dam go buy yourselves a car - -a Hooker - -a blow up doll ,a condo--what the F - - -ever quit screwing with College Basketball.-- The fun , the excitement has ben taken out of the game.

If they are going to have this dam NIl- -then put a cap on how much is the ceiling, no way unproven players should be given this kind of money while still in College, I se players half assing it now, cause they have this ridiculous amount .

NBA screwing with the College game first--now NIL want to f - - - around. In the end, who do you think ends up paying for this NIL - -the fans, you gt these dam schools throwing money out there wazzu to gt some guy for what - -a year ? -- the result tickets prices go up-- -Concessions go up-- Parking - -- in one way or another this is all connected and the fans who grab their ankles and pay in the end goes up --

@drgnslayr I'll tell you what's happening to the plyers or a lot of them that love the School, -- - --Alot of those kids are being recruited over and a lot of times ran off. .I'm talking about players that yes they came to play for that Coach, that School. They wasn't driven as much by the NIL , maybe they don't need the money as badly, maybe their morals , their standards are different.

These plyers are players that came to the School and have been good enough to be starters for one , two , three yrs, and ya maybe they are getting SOME NIL but again they came to play for a particular Coach/School.

To show how this NIL has made College sports a business, took the fun out of the game for some players that do love the School just for being that school - - These same Coach's that recruited these kids that were starters and loyal to the School , these Coach's are now ALL IN for this dam NIL, and recruiting over these guys whether deserved or not that has given that School everything that they could, but these same dam Coach's that recruited them and telling these kids at the time how much the School needed them-- wanted them are screwing them , . These Coach's see these OTHER maybe better players and they are throwing all this NIL money at those players and just as much saying go screw the pooch- -your out to the one's who have dedicated their time/effort and loyalty for that Coach - -Where is the Coach's loyalty to those players ?

These players that commit to the School- -- -The Coach , and who have given everything they got and then some are getting the shaft put to them -the players like KJ Adams - -Like Juan Harris , and some other's that have taken so much crap from SOME of the fan base - -I would take these guys in a minute, the type of guys who isn't afraid to dive on the floor for loose balls, or defend , or take shots in the mouth , dive over chairs to save balls from going out of bounds.-- while your NIL prissy boys what do they do - -They are worried about-- give me the ball - -watch me shoot-----watch me NOT DEFEND or do all that silly stuff, I ain't got time for all that's because IT'S ALL ABOUT ME - -these type of clowns have no concept of team play all they are interested in is THEMSELVES and MONEY- they don't give a s - - - about team, School , or Coach-- screw that -- NIL has totally ruined the College game

How about a nice game of Duck , Duck , Goose -OR maybe a little game of button , button , who has the button lol

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:

@jayballer67

Yes Small is likely to visit this weekend it's looking. Wouldn't be a replacement for Kugel position wise but would absolutely add value to this team as a combo guard. Dooley has a connection to him.

He is from Oklahoma St right?

Hardly knew ye Philon

And we better get a PG in the door who can run Self’s system after Dajuan leaves. Elmarko doesn’t appear to me to be that guy. Although I do remember when Mario couldn’t dribble to half court without getting swiped…

i THINK WE MIGHT HAVE HIM -- KID IS A STUD, AND BUILT , MERCY

Well I just aw a little tid bit I think.- -might add substance to Acuff.--Yesterday or last night I looked at player rankings and pulled up Acuff -he was of course ranked the # 4 ranked player, & in his list of Schools he had Kentucky -- - Michigan---& KU -- -all warm.

Tonight I looked him up in the rankings and he had ONE School listed as warm -- -and yes it was - - - - - - KU. - -The thing had switched for Kentucky & Michigan to Cool.-- Gotta believe umm ya things happening lol--- -them sneaky little devils----- ROCK HALK

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 Recruiting:

Hardly knew ye Philon

So he de-committed ?- - So maybe some substance to Acuff possibly ?

@nuleafjhawk said in Portal/transfer , now THIS would P - - - me off if true.:

@jayballer67 I'm about 98.5% ruined on college sports now. And the only pro team I follow is the Chiefs. So, I guess I need to find some new hobbies.

This keeps going like this I'm not far behind

@FarmerJayhawk said in Portal/transfer , now THIS would P - - - me off if true.:

A good rule of thumb is every NIL number you hear cut in half and you probably are in the ball park
I would sure hope so, no college undcrclass really not proven is not worth that kind of money

Maybe someone can help me out, maybe someone knows- - -I'm sure someone has some inside info.

Now I heard and it's just total Scuttlebutt but on TOS some people are saying that someone posted on Rivals , that Kugel is not going to qualify for KU academically- - and that KU is trying to get Javon Small -- Anybody ? - -Like I said I don't have anything to back , just read from other posters on TOS. -- -Yes , No, Maybe ? . I'm sure someone knows even a little.

Not suer how I would feel on this

now guys I'm sure some have seen this, and I sure can't say how reliable this is BUT If this is true , I'd be spitting bullets-- -cause it's just ridiculous- - - insane.

Seeing this from TOS agin if true this is where the NIL is ruining College sports.-----Supposedly a bidding war on Jayden Quaintance -- being reported that his price is between 1.5--- -to 2 Million----SORRY there is NO DAM WAY that kid is worth that kind of money , Period.- Someone pay that then GOOD FOR YOU and then your fan base will wonder lar why you spent that kind of money.- - Good, ya , he is kind of got , but sure the hell not 2 million good.--This NIL crap is total BS..

WOW thats all I got to say about reading about Nike.--- good player but ww are landing quality players. Were gonna be all right

@bskeet said in 2025 Recruiting:

Hmmm

Notcommitted??

yet

If he does or did commit, I'm not gonna have a cardiac as that's just way to long of time to hold on to the commit. Now not saying eh Couldn't stick BUT with the way College Sports has change and this dam NIL and tampering by schools, and how these young kids change their minds at the drop of hat- - -ya it's going to be a real challenge/surprise to actual see him take the floor at Ku in 25- -Loooooooong ways to go before we get there. It' would be nice BUT I'm not holding my breath at the end result. - -Whateve we happens e will be fine.- - I'm more excited to see and hope Griffin comits.

That would make a trio of really good quality players, Mayo-- -Storr----& Griffin. -- I'm not adding Kugel at this point, as there seems to be a lot of uncertainty right now about eligibility maybe - -Hope so, w shall see though ROCK CHALK

@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?

You already know the answer is no because he'll still complain about Harris.

LOL, let me answer-- I know - - I know---- pick me-- I know lol the answer to that one

So did we drop the ball and let Griffin leave campus with out committing ?

Kentucky lost it's entire roster too they talking about Pope having a clen slate to start

@dylans said in Ya - - -lets do this, 1st day of spring ball:

@jayballer67 I thought he was getting interest from Alabama. Why would he transfer in conference to a team that won 4 games last year in the pac12? Half of Colorado’s players are transferring out because of the culture after last years mass exodus too. He may leave, but it seems more like an attention seeking move. Diva?

Hell I dunno, Just showed a tweet from him and showed his pic & then showed Hunters pic on the other side of the pic , and then he posted a couple of things about getting his--- -gonna get it all -he just like hinting around he transferring and all signs with that pointing to CU. It's making it's rounds. Some other like sports site - -posting out Breaking news talking about CB possibly looking at transferring and having the CU decal and talking about him and Hunter making the best DB's in the Nation -- just BS - -he wants out-- -get the hell out - -it's all about Money / NIL

@dylans said in Ya - - -lets do this, 1st day of spring ball:

@jayballer67 lol Colorado is a hot mess.

ya it is. - -I dunno , talk about him going to CU so can improve skill from Sandes -I think Cobee just being an ass again , I'm thinking he probably DOES GO. ---great you wanna go - -go. This kind of stuff like him just detracts from the team as a whole.--Cobee wants to ge that media attention --look at me

Well Farmer Jayhawk -looking like Cobe doing his thing again, stirring up the fan base , talking all his BS about him and Hunter teaming up at CU.

Running his mouth about how he is gonna get ALL he is worth -Would be a HUGE loss but he wants out then- -Get the hell out.

What have you heard Farmer / - Substance ? - -or CB just trolling trying to stir the people up ? -Like I said would be a Huge loss but -- - if he does so be it ?- -what you think ?

@bskeet said in KU / Duke coming up:

Isn’t UConn at Stores on the sched too?

Ya I think maybe our return trip

More portal madness. Chucky Hepburn leaves winning program at a world class university for Louisville. A decade ago that's an understandable basketball decision but not now. But apparently NIL money is the game changer on this one.

Game changer on a lot of Schools. Hell even Duke is losing these kids left and right. Duke's entire roster is gone from lat year - - -DUKE ! ! They only have Proctor , a Soph , and a walk on left from last yr

Flip - -Mclain declared for the NBA draft and they had 5 hit the portal. - -This NIL has killed College sports- -All College is good for now is like NBA Minor league-This NIL has made College Sports an Auction of players- -Sold to the highest bidders.- -

You have or can't get to know the guys anymore, there not here long enough--forget loyalty , makes me sick - -NIL & to easy portal has ruined the game

Two players declared,- -five entered the portal.- - NIL & making things to easy to enter the Portal/transfer has killed the College game. -- 75 % of the time now , you don't really get the chance to know the kid- -cause they gone- no loyalty anymore, your blue bloods are even getting hit- College sports has just become like an NBA minor league --the original intent of the NIL has gotten WAY over blown.- -Kids gtting 750,000 - - a Mil is not what it was originally meant to become.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:

@Gorilla72 safety is easily the deepest position on defense. End is… opposite

you beat me to it---I think we are in really good shape at Safety---like who w got thee a lot.--Our CB's are studs---RB's is crazy wish we were a little deepr at or in D-L---hopefully have a couple really good Edge rushers

Robinson pretty decent, & if Warner develops like we all believe and he was in High School - - look out

@FarmerJayhawk said in Well don't like the sound of this .:

I wouldn’t panic yet. The major driver of phase 2 (suite demand) isn’t even totally known yet so we don’t even have a final design. I’ve heard there’s strong demand for suites and such on the west side so there’s optimism for demand on the east side. Same story for season tickets. If demand is there they can finalize capacity, a design, and move forward.

I sure hope so - -we need this in the worst way

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:

@jayballer67 he’s going to Silo Tech in all likelihood

Ya that's what I'm afraid of. I would rather he go to some BIG school or SEC School anywhere then K/Straight.--- K/Straight always was President Nixxon's favorite High School. Always was-- Always will be. -

Well if true, this is kinda of frustrating - -disappointing . as a matter of fact I hate it.

Sounds like phase II of our reno isn't happening for some time. Gonna make the stadium look incomplete. - -East stands just gonna remain like they are for God knows how long - -THAT is very frustrating Then Fitz on his podcast running his mouth like always. - I think a lot of his BS is paranoia , afraid we are gaining on them talent wise and sure the hell don't want us to have a better Stadium.- -just gonna look incomplete.

Sure wish we knew who pissed Anschutz off so dam bad as to where he stopped donations and only Donating to COLORADO for GOD'S sake now- what the hell ? -sure could use his donations on the stadium for sure.--just makes me cringe a bit. - -I know some of the investors in the project are kinda hesitant right now for like hotels and such--costs - -but dam would love to see this as a completed project.- -- Ok let me step down off my bitch pedestal now lol

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:

Yeah Red more or less disappeared awhile ago. Stewart was way, way better.

Nos sure ,yet pretty sure year 25 recruit I'd love to land would make my legs weak if we could land is ---Linkin Cure i believe is the correct name Farmer.---In stat kid just about everyone after- -would love to pull him in

@Gorilla72 said in 2024 recruits:

Red Martel, freshman RB entering the portal? He’s been there 3 months.

Good grief, must of not worked out, buried on depth chart--RB room is loaded.---Morrison still here---- Stewart think gonna be a stud---then I guess Johnny has been running some with 1st team then of course Hi-Shaw - and then our real stud.

But dam he afraid of competition, earn his spot?-- -I mean come on - -nothin given

ya, absolutely loaded- - -Again - not finalized just yet, but might a well be

Well looks like we are going to have Duke on the Schedule this up coming year and NOT in the Champions classic.

See where Jon Rothstein saying that KU & Duke in negations working them out to play this upcoming Season in Las Vegas , hmmm should/could be interesting. Nothing finalized but in the works, I guess all part of Duke paying a return game to Ariona , Arizona played in Durham this past Season.

Gonna be another killer non con for the guys----- ROCK CHALK

Just like I was saying a couple of minutes ago. - Duke fan base is pissed , especially about Stewart. Big physical , baller , kid is gonna be really good , makes things happen - -scores the ball in his limited minutes this Season -intensity Scheyer made a big mistake not handling this kid correctly, needed more minutes- -you screwed up Jon lmao- -you'll see

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:

More brothahood entries. TJ Power yesterday (former Top 20 recruit) someone KU recruited & now today freshman forward Sean Stewart.

Duke currently only has 2 scholarship players left.

Hate to see it

Dam I think Stwart is going to be a absolute tstu.-- Seen him play some this yr and when he was in---- -things happened

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:

@jayballer67

There is potentially some academic issues regarding Kugel coming here. Rumor mill but may have legs.

Well kinda mixed feelings/emotions on this one.----I mean heard the kid has a world of talent , that's a good thing BUT also heard he didn't take very well to being yanked out of starting rotation and didn't take kindly coming off the Bench.

I fully believe IF he lands here it will be for depth and will be coming off the bench. He better have his stuff together or he will neve see the court all we need is more drama/headcase. - So in that respect really doesn't matter if he makes it or not. , don't need anymore friction/drama , some kid pouting cause he isn't starting and be a cancer to the rest of the team , Now If he has the right approach - -team player then great for sure - -can use his talent -- so you see kinda up in the air with this one.

Listened to about a 30 minute pod cast with Zeke , seemed pretty well informed , level headed. They ask him about how many Schools contacted him after he entered the portal - - -he said probably on the first day maybe like fifteen , ended up with like twent five Schools probably.

Then they ere talking about Juan and I know our Huge Juan supporter will love this but Zeke said he was really looking forward to playing with Juan, , said Juan Basketball IQ ( now say it isn't so-- could it be ? - -surely not ) --but Zeke said Juan's Basketball IQ is so high/ off the chart- - NO THAT CAN'T BE can it KUballin ?- - saying if your open he is going to find you --- -shut up - -that can't be right-- ---not Juan, that scrub needs to be benched right Kuballin? -- what the hell is Zeke talking about --that can't be the same Juan, Zeke saying Juan will make other wings, or others flourish - -I just can't believe Zeke would say such a thing like that about a scrubby bench player like Juan - - no way roflmao-- I'm gonna have to dig into this more, I must be thinking of a different Juan- -lol--- give them HELL JUANDO. glad your back

Saw this evening where Coach Self had already made comments about Storr & Mayo-- - both had already signed their financial paperwork-- - brings up one question , why hasn't Kugel signed his or why we haven't heard anything on him signing his ? -He was our first commit, you would think he would of signed his also-- Hmmmm

Has anybody else seen the 12 players picked to represent the USA this time round ? Can you imagine ?

Think about this if your an opposing team. --Just imagine having to go against these guys in a starting five.

Start with Jo , Jo- - - James - - -then put Curry and then take your pick either Booker / Tatum killin it from the outside-and then for a little defensive presence add Leonard, that's to start off with.

Then could you imagine a back up five of Durant- -Haliburton---Adebayo -then a again Booker/Tatum &Davis ?- -mercy they be killin it.

Other teams be like just let us know what you want the score too be , and w call it good lol.

Could you imagine a NBA team starting that first group I listed having to go against them for an entire Season - - Lord have mercy-- Just LOADED
