@jayballer67 I don't want it to happen either. Just saying, we better play an A+ game. I might be in attendance for that one.
wish I could be just not up to it physically right now , looking at surgery and down time
Get well. You can make it that way next year, if not this.
Appreciate it thanks
Coach saying Remy game time decision. Practiced yesterday and did well.

@BShark said in WVU Game Thread:
Line-up is official, Dave back.
Ha , that's crazy as was just listening to pre-game and Coach said he didn't know what they were going to do yet. - Said Dave had an all Big 12 practice Thursday didn't think Dave and Mitch like it to much KJ getting the start and thought KJ done fine cause he was just kind of thrown to the wolves but did fine and expects him to be better today. - -Thinks all 3 will play
Fricken K/State you watch gonna find a way to win this dam thing , give them false hope of security
@BShark said in Non-KU Games:
Looking forward to the future of this team. I like the last two classes.
just hate the thought of them coming in to the phog and winning
@BShark said in Non-KU Games:
@Marco Not going to be a fun game.
No it's not and I'm not trying tobe a smart ass or anything I'm saying it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't get us this year even at the Phog. - -Thing is we just do not have any answer - - for Oscar
@BShark said in 2022 Crootin:
Phelps lookin like a Jayhawk
Sure sounds like it now I've heard nothing confirmed but I guess he cancelled his visit to V-Tech and says will be in Lawrence. - -Als Devin Neal hanging out with Ky today , & a 3 star DB that has verbal committed to Texas on campus today so we will see what happens
@BShark said in Non-KU Games:
@jayballer67 said in Non-KU Games:
And of Course goes to figure K/State has only allowed Tech 3 points in the first 8 minutes plus of the game - -geez
This Tech had the lead within the next 4 minutes. Crazy game!
ya Tech is starting to assert that dang defense of theirs, plus K/State throwing up LOTS of bricks - -build an ouhouse
Heard on the halftime report that all 10 teams in the Big12 are in the top 40 defensively I reckon pretty good
@BShark said in Pre West Virginia Notes:
@tundrahok being reported but not officially yet
Are we saying that Remy might be done here?
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Crootin:
Gonna be a good long weekend my dudes and dudettes 😎
hoping for a good weekend maybe get us some commits, including KY plus some others, not so sure about Phelps now though
And of Course goes to figure K/State has only allowed Tech 3 points in the first 8 minutes plus of the game - -geez
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021-22 PER's & Stats:
Yeah Oscar. He might break the rebound record against us
very easily could nobody handle him
@BShark said in 2021-22 PER's & Stats:
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021-22 PER's & Stats:
Lots of Quad 1 and 2 wins to get in conference play + Kentucky still on the books.
Will be interesting to see if PER's revert back up or this trend is something more concerning
If the current play continues with a healthy Remy I will be concerned.
I wouldn't neccessarily be drooling about playing Kentucky this year. Night and Day from last year and we have No answer not even close for their inside guys this year
@nuleafjhawk said in Brucie on a very hot hot seat.:
@jayballer67 I think, as true KU fans, we need to do whatever it takes to keep Brucie there. He is invaluable to us.
I think we will be fighting a losing battle there. - -The local sports broadcast has their Beat writer on every week , and the talk is he is done , probably after the year is over. You just can't go 7-33 in league in the I think last 3 years and expect bunny rabbits to come hoppin from to many hats with good fortunes -Say Good bye Brucie - -sounds like a lot of their alumi/fan base saying it's time for him to go
@approxinfinity said in The reality of this team is:
I want JCL to emerge as a 3 pt assassin for us come tourney time. I think he has a chance to be our best transfer. People are talking about Remy taking time to be our next Malik. I think it could be JCL.
I think CB can be our alpha, Ochai can be our horse, we need JCL to go white hot 50% 3 pt shooter and we'll be riding the gravy train on offense.
So are we saying Dajuan, CB, Ochai, JCL. and Adams? I like that. that's a bucket sandwich, between two slices of hard work.
I've heard a few comparisons of JCL to I Moss, could be I reckon
@Jethro said in Brucie on a very hot hot seat.:
@jayballer67 Well, then a "Save the Liberace" campaign might be in order.
lol - - -ehhhh I dunno , I'm not really in a saving mood tonight lol - -especially when it deals with Purple lol
@approxinfinity said in Brucie on a very hot hot seat.:
@jayballer67 damn. we might need to photoshop some other face on the bingo board free space.
LMAO - - now you stop that Mister lmao, gotta say touche - - -that was a good one lol
Lots of talk today about Bruce - being gone after the season , saying they probably won't take him out in the middle of the year. - He has been in this position of hot for awhile , fans getting pretty mad, frustrated. SECOND time in three years they have started 0-4 in league play - -the last Three years in League they are 7 - - -33 that's not gonna cut it. -you take that kind of Record and the turnover from kids leaving , doesn't make a good combination - lots of rumblings People saying Bruce has to go
@benshawks08 said in Big 12 Regular Season Title (if that still matters to you):
@kuballin10 Do you believe this is the WORST team Bill Self has ever put on the floor at Kansas? Because 11-7 would be the worst in conference record he's ever produced. Maybe if Remy never returns and we end up with another injury to say Braun or Och. But outside of that I don't see how this team doesn't win at least 12-13 games in conference.
this team is not going 11-7 in league there is no way don't worry bud
@Jethro said in Bill Self "growth stunter":
@drgnslayr said in Bill Self "growth stunter":
I really like this team! Maybe someone needs to spike the water jug with testosterone (joke). Anything to bring out some alpha in all our guys.
Winner, winner chicken dinner. The group consisting of Och, Braun, Dave, and Jalen need to show us something. I need to see some badass.
You and me both Jethro. I wanna see some bad ass - -I don't give a flyin rats ass if they DO have a little bit of an attitude , like you said Alpha. - I want to see where the guys almost let opposing teams -you don't belong of the Court with us We need that person that refuses to let us lose - -that edge
Farmer here in Shawnee County , just got our Covid Scoreboard. We had 2,020 new cases for the week , a 26 % increase. The positiveity rate jumped from 19.9 % - - -to 25.7 %- getting bad - -Hospitals maxed. I'm due for a back surgery but not sure when that's happening cause they have put any surgery postponed unless life threatning.
Like you said your remote for the next week. Schools here are either cancelling or talking about temporary cancelling classes again - -headed the wrong way
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Non-KU Games:
KU women seem to have finally turned a corner this season. Back to back road wins including tonight in Austin in OT over a top 15 Texas team.
I seen that game last night. KU actually was in front for most of the game. Lots of turovers for both teams. - -Texas horrible 1st half shooting but came on in the 2nd hald.- -KU took it to them in the over time , HUGE WIN
@Kubie said in Jayhawks in the pros:
Doke finally got healed enough to play and after starting one game now is in covid protocols. He just can’t get a break.
Very true and the breaks he is getting right now sure isn't helping him
KU Ladies HUGE win tonight , KU goes on the road and beats 13th ranked Texas 70-66 in OT, This coming off beating TCU - - kept track of this game KU actually was in front big majority of time Both team a lot of TO's but- - GREAT JOB LADIES - - well Goliath comes to town lol Baylor comes Saturday - - dam lol - Ladies 11-2 right now ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG
Sooo decided to check out Iowa St site, oh they all up in arms over what they say blatent , clearly missed goal tending call against McCormack late late in the game with like either 1:48 seconds or 1 : 28 seconds to go, and from the video footage the replay that shows - -they very well might be right. We were up 58-54 at the time - - Guy was laying it up for easy two looks very much like the ball hit the backboard and McCormack slapped it off after it hit the back board to keep it from going in - - pretty clear - - I dunno likes it might of been
Kind of had to laugh at this BUT it's true. - - Coach K not Coaching tonight because of a non Covid illness. Local sports program saying and it's true - - every time there is a little adversity at Duke Coach K not gonna Coach - -they are coming of that home loss to Miami which should of never happened , and tonight got to travel to Wake Forest and all of a sudden K not going to Coach lmao - -how cozy is that - - " OH let Schyer " Coach lol - - -Wake not even like 5 miles away they said - figures with K lmao.
Another little thing with MR K - -Both him and Roy retired at the same time. When Roy retired - - -Roy retired, - - Coach K oh now I'm retired but I'm taking my fan tour lol - - you go gettem K you ol son of a gun lmao
@BeddieKU23 said in The reality of this team is:
History says Self will get this all figured out. Right now it looks scary and concerning though and there's definitely things going on with this team we didn't anticipate would happen with all the depth.
Last night's game wasn't pretty by any means but it ended with something to work with. They won a Big-12 game against a ranked Team with a Top 5 defense per Kenpom when the game was on the line. That can jump-start things, I hope.
This team desperately needs a healthy Remy and its coach needs to continue to make smart lineup decisions. There are way too many lineups at times that make zero sense for the strength of this team which is supposed to be scoring the ball.
As far as expectations, right now they are a lot lower then I anticipated. We are still not an athletic team for the most part. We don't have 5 guys playing at a high level and we really need to get to 6 or 7 doing so and soon. The defense is not great and that will likely be the thing that lets us down further down the road. We'll see. If Remy gets healthy and other things start to come together then we'll see where we are at.
you make some really good points. Probably the best one & I do agree Iowa State has a rally dam good defense. So to that point it is good they were able to pull this out. - -The thing or one of the things that concern me also is our long extended scoring droughts. Were going 9 minutes plus - - -4 minutes plus , and even with Iowa States really good defense , Iowa state I had heard and it showed last night Iowa State has struggled scoring the ball themselves. This where Ku needs to be able to put distance , and when Braun is passin up open shots and Oachi is being keyed on or does his disappearing act then we have no one else to score. - -Wee in trouble if we have to depend on Juan Harris to save our bacon when the game is on the line , that's just a receipe for disaster. - We have to find that third scorer. Another point we find ourselves at points in the game where Coach has to many of those non scorers on the floor at the same time
Then also I think a big thing is - -we need a LEADER somebody who wants the ball in crunch time. Thing is do we have that guy?- -I thought it was going to be Oachi - but I just don't know , does he have enough confidence in himself to take THAT shot - - -is he the guy who wants the ball when the game is on the line. - -I really haven't seen that yet, we are missing a take charge guy. A guy that says give me the ball and get the hell out of my way
Afte watching last nights game and as far as that goes many of these games this year , the reality is I think we need to lower our expectations of what this team will achieve by the end of the season. - -When these transfers came through and yes Remy being the biggest fish to land along with some others and when I found out what we had coming back I thought - -MERCY this is a deep team , a talented team experienced team , and good incoming. I thought we a really , really good shot at the final 4 , hell even a pretty decent chance of a championship. Yet now the reality is - - -that's just not happening.
I think it's time to face the music and understand that this team just hasn't put together the ingredients to give us what we thought we might have. Sure we have had some pitfalls along the way , but what teams haven't ? - - Every team has faced challenges This team is missing something & I'm just not sure what , but were lacking something for us to be able to hit that goal.
One thing we know is , Dave is not the player he was at the end of the season last year, and I think that very well could be a huge piece as to why were not making it. He is just not , last year at the end of the year he really came on and carried us a lot of times , that's no where to be found this season, he is a shell of what he was at the end of the year - We have zero production from our 5 spot and that kills us. Secondly Remy is not the player he was at Arizona State. True I know Bill has wanted him kind of take on a different role /approach and he is trying , but I think it has really effected his game. I think we really need Remy to become more of a threat to score more again, at the 1st of the year I think the Coach's thinking was possibly that he didn't need to be concerned as much about that - -but that's when we thought we had a five that could help carry the scoring load, but we don't have that. - We need a Third Scorer and that's Remy. - -
Another thing is Jalen is not the Jalen of last year , much better last year has really struggled shooting the ball , not rebounding as well , that hurts - his free throw shooting is horrible so we have that. - -Then another aspect that is crucial that we have trouble with is - -our ball handling is so loose, I mean LOOSE how many times last night did we see some one just drive - -drive where? - -who know - but they would drive and then just throw the ball to no one in particular, so many times I was saying where the hell you throwing the ball to? - -turnover , after turnover , after turnover. -- We didn't see that with Graham , Dotson , Mason - -if a opposing team trps us , presses us we have handled that really bad.
Then we come to Christan, I think /Christan is reverting some back to last year, passing up wide open shots not even looking to score, on top of the fact that since Big 12 has kicked in he has come back to earth some scoring falling off is the defenses that much better ? - -quite possibly but these thing - - these things that I have mentioned right here are just the tip of the iceberg with this team , I could go on but I'll stop. For thes things AND OTHERS I don't think there is any chance in hell this is a final four team I can only hope they prove me wrong but I just don't see it. - -At best I think you are looking at a Sweet Sixteen at best right now might even be a ONE and done they have just got t get things put together quickly for it to be any bette. - That's my take you don't have to like it but I'm sure there are others that think the same
simply I think a lot of people think KU is gonna skate on this thing and to that I say I think your in for a rude awakening period. - If you think KU is coming out of this smelling like a rose - - then i'm sorry , but there is no way in hell we walk were gonna take a hit. - NCAA has been after us for so many years trying to find shit, and whether you believe it or not KU is not the innocent flower child in this whole thing we are not guiltless no matter the degree.
There other other schools that had less severity charged against them our 5 Level 1 and have gotten hit - no reason to think we will come out with less - i your thinking such then your in for a rude sold slap in the face called reality - -WATCH
