Well I know people aren't going to want to hear this--- may not agree with this but I have to say it anyways - I think this year that Kentucky might just be some better then last year. , actually quite a bit better , hey I'm not to proud to admit it -- they better - - they better that's all. - -It's gonna be a pretty good match up when we meet them in the Bi2 12/Sec challenge. Of course they are already starting with the whiner excuse if we win, How the Refs favor us so badly at the Phog - -they are already getting that out there 5 on 8 they said. - Talking about how at least 2-3 of there guys will be in foul trouble by the 1st TV time out lol
I'm tellin you not gonna lie , just straight up I didn't watch the entire thing but when I was - -Gonzaga looked Scary god at long periods of times - -smooth as silk I dunno who match up with that
Oregon geteting worked over right now pretty good by St Marys down 14 with 12 minutes to go
I'm sorry but K- State is just sad. Sure they hung around a bit but that was more Illinois screwups nothing K-State did really , Illinois allowing them to hang around, Did ANYONE her e really think K- State was gonna win this game ? - -I sure the hell didn't
I mean can someone please tell me what kind of offensive sets K-State runs ? I mean really cause I'm not seeing much of run , or do they run an offense ? - All I saw was a lot of one on one and jack a 3. Most the time it was Pack or Smith jacking it up - -a couple of dribbles no signs of an offensive set being run at all just throwing it up. They actually played better last night then tonight. -Just think myself it's gonna be another long year for Bruce , & probably his last yr too.
Well read an article about a couple of 2023 recruits. - -One I think we might have good chance at , the other ummm probably not. Just from what he said
The one I really don't think A LOT of interest from them is # 12 Matas Buzelis - - pretty much said Duke , Kentucky & Kansas was there watching him talking about taking visits and what have you then when it came to KU he said he text's them , calls them but he just don't know
The one who at least sounds like he is interested in KU and KU Townsend was watching him the same day as Matas same Schools there watching KU- - Duke - -& Kentucky
Tayler Bol Bowen , # 23 in the class of 2023 , Bowen said : Norm is the one who offered him and Norm came to Brewster and Tayler was very excited to see him , to see him walk in the gym. Tayler said I just want KU to be part of my recruitment and it's a blessing to have them as part of my recruitment for sure.
That to me sure sounds like he is pretty interested in KU , the question is - - - is the feeling mutual it vey wll might be if Norm offered - we shall see

Arkansas is trying to let KSU sneak back in this one.
If Arkansas was playing ANYONE other then K-State last night really good chance they get beat , was NOT impressed with them , just good enough to beat Brucie
@mayjay said in ESPN.com, gutter rag:
I think you all need to read the article. That quote is a tiny part of it and there are dozens of other cautionary examples cited. It is actually an extensive analysis of all the different choices available to elite players and how that has changed.
There is so much desire on this board to feel picked on by ESPN that I am afraid y'all stay awake at night for fear that you will have nightmares about it.
you don't have to stay awake at night and worry about me and having nighmares about ESPN - -their not worth it lmao
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
They are not related
ok thank you did not know - -appreciated , and glad they are not lol
Holy Crap possible 10:00 in the Morning ? - no way - -that's just to early
So does anyone happen to know by chance , is this Mintz kid that de-committed and we are I guess working on pretty hard , does he happen maybe be related to the Mintz kd that plays on the Kentucky team ?
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games:
Gonzaga & Purdue are horrible matchups for KU. They both have multiple bigs that can abuse Dave.
that could be very true, but you also have to look at the other shoe, KU can also run a line up that can pretty much off set their big's. We have guys that can play the 5 and stretch the floor make their big's try to defend in space' - -we have Zach that can play sme spot , Coach even mentioned playing Jalen as a stretch 5 - so we could pretty well counter their big's with our stretch 5's kind of like what Villanova done to us a few years back , more worried about Gonzaga then Purdue
@BeddieKU23 said in North Texas Mean Green - Thanksgiving day - 1:30 pm - ESPN2:
That's pretty much what they like to do. I don't expect us to like this game
ya, well won't that settle nice on a Thanksgiving stomach lol having to watch them muddle it up having to watch a game like that. - -The only way to beat a team like that is get out up on them quick and step on their throats and force tempo on them and get them out of that type of game
@BeddieKU23 said in North Texas Mean Green - Thanksgiving day - 1:30 pm - ESPN2:
So they are giving up only 51 ppg so far. Jeesh this could be a really ugly game
you mean a walk it up pass , pass, pass, and then pass some more run the clock down every trip type of ugly game ?
Find it strange , haven't felt something like this in years -what is it ? - - -hmmm actually excited about next year , even a little fired up. I think we can become really competitive in alot of games. , with what we got coming back and what we got coming in. Remember we have I think like52 Freshmen & Sophomores Coach is a winner , got a good staff - -you look we won two this year and what ZERO last yr ? - -We beat Texas at Texas , stayed right there with Oklahoma at Home - Lost to TCU @ TCU hung in there with them to the end. I think we are getting close to the point where teams better quit thinking we are an automatic W for them - -Think there are some teams that better start paying attention cause - - - were coming . ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@wissox said in Non-KU Games:

If you appreciate singers and talent - - here you go
Pulled this off the TCU Board. - What the TCU Coach said after th game. Saying KU has finally got it right , that KU was further along in the 1st year then they were when he was at Minnesota , Saying KU was a team that was a team that would be a team to be reckoned with the next 3-4 years.
Read off TOS that we had picked up a verbal commit believe out of California - -A Juco Linebacker pretty versitale that can play all 3 the article said - -won the league MVP defensive player of the year.
Good to see a little interst coming from some KU fans I think Coach and this team is starting to get this turned around
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Toads:
KU probably wins this game if Neal doesn't get hurt.
Oh I think without a doubt also, gave a really good effort. - -Seasons past that could of turned into a rout very easily. I know there are no moral victories but yet, I think you can actually see some progress
@FarmerJayhawk said in Toads:
Hoping it’s just a stinger
that's what I wondered - -maybe stinger, we need him. He went off the field little better hopeful. - -If not , hope Hickson can stand up

Just saw Kelly Knight passed away. He was only 59. Remember him sporting the knee braces as he chugged up and down the court. As a native of Kansas, Kelly was always a favorite of mine. RIP Kelly

@jayballer67 too funny…my wife lived just north of Benton when she was a teenager. Went to Circle High for a couple years. I grew up on a farm just outside of Garden Plain, a small town just west of Wichita. Moved to the city when I started working for Cessna. I like where I’m at but man I kinda miss the quiet laid back life on the farm
ya just goes to show small world. - Ya had some nieces that lived in Towanda that went to Circle , Brother in law went to Circle. - I'm like you Wichita was fine but really like living in small town rural USA - Benton was just fine for me

The Shockers came up a little short last night but gave Arizona all they wanted. Looks like WSU is going to be one of the teams on or close to the “bubble “ come tourney time. Kinda funny I live in Wichita but don’t hear the Shocker fans saying how they want a piece of KU like they did several years back!
Hey buddy you live in Wichita ? -that's cool I lived there for a length of time , well there and in the rural area right outside of there. - Live right across from Wichita East for a short time , ya I know not the best of area but wasn't there long was really young guy then lived in a duplex right off Douglas. - Then. live on 31st and South Meriden , liked it there Got married and moved out to Benton Ks , I'm sure you kow where thats at - - LOVED IT THERE
Worked in some area's that wasn't the best buttttttt , work part time as a 2nd job right there like at I think like 17th and Hillside just a short ways from the WSU Campus - - THAT was NOT a good area at all lol. work at a Kwik Shop - -Then worked for what used to a long log time ago Allen Electric I think it was like 1134 N Washington ,Electrical wholesale supply warehouse yippee lol. - About 2 blocks north of where the Wichita Police officer got shot in the head, I remember when I 1st started there Allen still had shotgun portholes where they had in the sides of the buildings to protect the business during the riots. - Allen sold out then if became AMFAC Electric I actually enjoyed working thre. Worked for Sutherlands Lumber on 21st ? - by the stockyards - - that was fun - - oh those were the days lol - I actually like the City of Wichita it'self lol
@Oldmanhawk said in Well kind of boring afternoon , anyone for memory lane ?:
David Magley from the corner…..swish!! I remember how he would hit that shot and then run back with both arms raised. One of my favorite teams was in’86 with Hunter, Kellogg, Thompson, Manning and Dreiling. Got to see that team beat Louisville with Never Nervous Pervis Ellison in AFH. Pretty sure both teams went to the FF that year with Louisville cutting down the nets
How the heck did I forget Magley sweet shot, - -Just soooo many players.. - -I remember the team your talking about talking about someone killing it from the base line Ronnie would just kill ya from the corner. - -Him and Pony were quite a duo
@BShark said in Signing Day:

Thinking back to the KU poster/calendars I had as a kid…
Jeff Graves, Mike Lee, Moulaye Niang, Bryant Nash, Jeff Carey, Mitch Lightfoot (ok I kid but I’m 32% sure he came to KU when I was in high school)
Ya I remember Graves. ( he was under Brown wasn't he ? )- -now this Moulave Niang - -now you got me there buddy I don't remember him at all , when was he here guy ?

Mercy , Mercy , Mercy yes. - How can we forget Mr Woodberry pretty good kid , Poor Archie - -felt so sorry for him , tore what was it again can't remember was it his Achilles ? Remember let's see who was we playing was it Okie St ? And they let Archie come on the floor Cedric was a little pistol , Greg was one of the first if not THE FIRST that came out of that pipeline from Wichita for awhile. He was ok a little dissapointing but not bad - -out of Kapaun Mt Carmel . I lived in Wichita around then and WSU thought for sure he was going there -- -they ( WSU fans ) were hot
@approxinfinity Blah , Blah , Blah - -fricken ESPN . -Notice they managed to bring up Cliff & Quentin in this junk

@nwhawkfan Mercy how I not remember Big Mo & Donnie too
@BShark said in Stony Brook Game Thread:
Bobby is a GREAT college player there is just a big difference between that and an NBA player. Dotson and Frank are struggling to make it in the NBA.
True but he has got time - - just a freshman - -better then Frank OR Devonte I think in their freshman yrs- just think he is further along. Seems like Frank and Actually Devonte both didn't really seem to come on till late Soph or JR yrs right ?
just sitting here and not much going on - thinking back on past players, some from sometime back, let's see if you can add some others might be interesting to bring up past names /players . Ok let's see here w go to start :
Ken Koenings ( know that's not spelt right ) -Rick Robisch , Pierre Russell , Aubrey Nash , Rick Suttle , Jo Jo White , ( ahh the what /who was it ? - The famous foot out of bounds call ( Texas El-Paso is that who they were ?Calvin ( Pony Thompson ) Ronnie Kellogg , Danny Knight , Kelly Knight , Clint Normore , Roger Morningstar , Darnell Valentine , Mark Turgeon , Victor Mitchell ( The House ) right ? T J Pugh , Nino Samuel , Paul Pierce , - Roger Bohenstihl ( Again not spelt right sorry ) just a few - -would love to here more bring those names back -Make them from SOME TIME back past of pasts
@BShark said in Stony Brook Game Thread:
@Marco said in Stony Brook Game Thread:
@BShark Bobby and Zach are future NBAers, they have to play. Adams needs to play too imo
I think Zach has a real chance because of his jumper. When it's THAT good it outweighs a lot of other things. He does have a ways to go but I think he can get there.
Bobby to me looks like a pro but not NBA.
Disagree on KJ at this point, don't think he has been very good at all he's just athletic. I think he is worth developing but he isn't offering much this year.
I'd have to disagree with Bobby , got to remember he still a baby even though he doesn't look it - has some years to sharpen what ever area's - has the body loks pretty solid to me , seems pretty mature decision making adqueate balls skills as a freshmen - think he just keeps getting better
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in OK so now the Question becomes:
The quality of opponents has to play a factor in this decision as well. If we still had Baylor, OSU, OU or other good teams, I'd say sit him and don't burn the redshirt. But, KU's last two games are against the teams currently sitting in 8th and 9th in the Big 12 respectively so those are winnable games for KU and chance to build some momentum headed into the off-season so I'd definitely play whoever gives KU the best chance to win and build thar momentum.
Reckon that makes reasonable sense. - -If we could win this TCU game think would be huge. I realize we are playing the 8 & 9th teams but this is still bad program - - BUT making strides. I just don't hope we have a repeat like the week after we played tough against Oklahoma.. - -you can see progress with this team won 2 games this year -Beat Texas - on the road , and played OU Tough - -things starting to show some promise. Hope Jalen can continue to grow

Good game to get freshman minutes. P was really good last night for the most part. His change of direction speed is filthy
Bobby if he is already not - - the kid is going to be an absolute stud. - might be me but to me he sure doesn't look like a freshman mercy , pretty well built too/solid - seems mature on the flor have I mentioned how much I lie this kid lol
Oh yeah he's a favorite of mine already. Bought his shirt last night. Self says he's not just gonna be good he's going to be great
Sweet having that shirt. Get it in advance. I'm telling you people gonna know his name for sure before it's al said and done -got a chance to be really special
@BShark said in Stony Brook Game Thread:
JWill will be taking 25+ minutes once he is fully back in Bill's good graces so that alone will cut minutes from others.
Bill mentioned in his Conference not last night but I listened too from another site said Jalen will be a 30 minute guy in some type of capacity/situation
@BShark said in Stony Brook Game Thread:
That is what was reported but I have my doubts.
I heard that in post game too, Coach said Remy had tweak his back and why he didn't play as many minutes I dunno just what Coach said

I've been super high on Clemence since we signed him but man he's exceeded expectations. I know all the talk is about him getting stronger, he will, he's a baby faced freshman out there. But the skill level on this kid is legit already. He more then held his own last night against smaller players on defense and he has a knack for the ball. Obviously the waters get deeper as the season goes on but just from what we've seen it would be Criminal not to play this kid.
Oh I agree just looks fluid and I was commenting last night after the game here Bill gonna have to figure out how can w keep getting Zach/KJ 5 minutes or so in the game we are Soooo deep. - Bill mentioned in his post game , he wasn't going to be able to run as deep and minutes would be falling off. - Bill could legit I think run deep without a lot of drop off for a least at bit.
I tell you what I really like this group of guys we have and what we got coming in - -Mercy these young guys. You figure we lose Oachi , Dave , Remy , Jalen for sur but dm we have Zach , Bobby , KJ , Juan , Braun , Zuby , Udeh and looks like MJ - -that could be really nast group NEXT YR
@FarmerJayhawk said in OK so now the Question becomes:
Daniels has 3 more years without a redshirt due to the Covid year. Play whoever gives you the best chance to win: I think it'll be Daniels the rest of the way.
I agree with you quite a bit Farmer , the only thing so if he has 3 yrs not counting the redshirt - -so if he redshirted he would also still have 3 more years right? Cause of the Covid or what ?- -I just think if we were close to eligible for some kind of bowl then I would agree more, but I do see if he plays and we would happen to sneak a win tomorrow against TCU and I do think there is a small chance to do that, the advantage would out weight the redshirt - -can only help recruiting and I do feel we saw improvement loved him on the roll outs - -Nothing personal against Jason either like him to because of the dual threat.
Can't believe I'm saying this really but is Jalen become a better passer then Bean ? -what ya think ? seen some pretty good things - I know it's just the one game - -and it was Texas who just sucks this year. I dunno farmer guess really I'm good either way
@nwhawkfan said in OK so now the Question becomes:
@jayballer67 said in OK so now the Question becomes:
So it's already been brought up, so I guess might as well ask, now the question becomes - -does Jalen play next weekend burning his Red-Shirt ? - OR do we keep him out of these last two games ?
Sorry guys but from my standpoint - - my view I would have to say - if Bean is ready - -we hold Jalen, he going to be to vital for us I believe. I mean we not going to go to any Bowls this year or anything like that - -Save Daniels and he will still have 3 years. You can see with the only exception where the ball got tipped , no INT looked pretty good on the roll out's -why waste a year for 3 games?
This program is making headway -- making strides last year we were winless -this year we got 2 wins and a Big 12 road win. - We Beat Texas and we played Oklahoma tough/close. Here in Jayhawk Country we call that progress - have to crawl before we walk and guys we are about to take that 1st step. - -just my opinion we save Jalen , what you think ?
Totally agree that we keep him out. All the national pub for the Texas win is a huge recruiting coup. Losing him for a a couple of games won't hurt the program. Meanwhile we pick up another year's worth of linemen to protect him next year and beyond.
looks like we lost the battle here guy. Jalen is cool I guess with burning his redshirt to play these last two games. - Wish he would of sit - -but I tell you he looks so much better. - -I don't know how much to put into it is because of the competition OR has he really improved that much. - -I think maybe some of both - -Texas - - sucks AND Jalen has improved and maturing does at times throws a really nice ball has a cannon for an arm
Coach saying that we won't be able to continue to have this many players with this many minutes - -minutes will go down
