Good Gordon and Rudi leaving BRUUUUCE.
oh crap - -the other Gordon leaving too? - -man , you know I had heard that ol squeeks was going to retire after this Season - - well if that turns out to be the case that would be a good reason to retire
@BeddieKU23 said in Rumors:
So far Jalen Wilson, Devion Harmon & Moses Wright will miss at least the first & 2nd round matchups of the NCAA tourney due to covid. All 3 players start and play major roles for their teams
What team does Moses Wright play for ? - - Tonight it begins , can you believe it - - I'm ready - -want to see that Michigan St game - -play in game might be interesting
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Significant to note, he played on an Adidas sponsored team
Sounds like at this point really interested - we shall see. Talking about how he was working on handling the ball skills & looking forward to visiting
Ahjany Lee 6'8 F stated - -he received his offer from KU on his Birthday. - -Coach told him he had a present for him and told him KU had offered. 6'8 F out of Minnesota. - Said he had been following KU for a long time # 109 in the Nation.
He said KU has always been a fun team to watch , he had done research on KU and say he knows that KU is known for Marketing & Business Knows KU has a history of being really good and about their 31 consecutive appearances in the Tourney. No time line for decision doesn't want to determine off phone calls wants to visit
Offers as of now , Minnesota , St Thomas , Hampton , Florida , & KU
Well Pitino from Minnesota gets fired & - - - Jamai Mashburn enters the port
ok guys time to change your pick. - -If you picked OU over Missouri -- time to change it. - - Damion Haron OU 2nd leading scorer OUT with COVID. - - -hmm Jalen played against Oklahoma - - hmmmm Jalen/Harmon - - Harmon Jalen

GOOD NEWS per Self!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave McCormack will join the team Friday for practice and play Saturday.
Self adds he doesn't know how effective he will be..Jalen Wilson could play Monday if KU advances. He's expected to join them Monday if they win.
Enaruna is out, recently tested positive for Covid
Self's comment about how he doesn't know how effective McCormack is the concerning part to me because that sounds like McCormack had Covid and lack of energy/stamina is one of the concerning symptoms as far as basket players are concerned.
EWU runs a lot of 5 out stuff so not a great match up for Dave regardless. I'd rather see Self rest Dave in the first round and save him for Evan Mobley. KU likely doesn't need Dave for EWU, but they won't beat USC without him or Jalen.
agree, Good chance we won't beat them with them
@BeddieKU23 said in Rumors:
Self is preparing both Braun & Garrett to play the 5 when Mitch is not in. Seems to be covering all bases if Dave can't play much. Hopefully he can.
Oh Lordy , Can you see Chrisitan trying to defend Mobley ? People saying Mobley would destroy Lightfoot Well if that's the case then he would obilerate Braun lol

that's good about Dave - Big body we need whatever we can get from him. - - - - As far as Enaruna - - hmmm, just wonder if there is not a story behind that story? -still think he is gone
@BeddieKU23 said in 1st round know your foe Eastern Washington:
Mobley is as good as people say he is. Watched him in the Pac-12 tourney and he's very good. But the rest of USC is average. They are big, have a lot of 6'6, 6'7 types. Self is one of the best coaches at eliminating a single player from beating him. I think the key is actually letting Mobley get his but not letting Tahj Eaddy have a big game. He was non-existent against Colorado and then had 9 points in about a 3 minute span, completely took the game over and gave them a chance to win. He's the kind of guard that KU can struggle to contain (58 made 3's on the season).
We'll see, not having Jalen is going to be a very challenging thing which is why I think people are all aboard an upset
ya that's true about Eaddy -have always heard that when your going against a team with that Stud. - -let me get his , just don't let's others go off for Career games. - - that was like us in 1988 - -Danny got his BUT yet EVERYONE contributed maybe even more then normal - - -those kinds of things can't happen.

@bskeet I like Texas too. Athletic and some experience
I've actually got Texas making it to the final 4 in one of my many Brackets lol
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@BeddieKU23 yeah! Sorry. It's inevitable I forget someone when doing these mock rosters. I think Bryce has the higher ceiling and given Braun kind of seemed off all year I might give the edge to Bryce.
@jayballer67 all over the board my man. Everyone from juniors to seniors to freshmen. Walker is a sophomore with 3 to play. Meeks is a grad transfer with 1 to play. Jones is a junior with 2 to play.
oh ok buddy kinda thought so - - just thought I'd check appreciate it buddy. -Hope we land Tyson
so ok I entered but it entered me into the group s some ESPN then a bunch of numbers lol --- it's ok. But I have a question - - I joined the group but didn't give a bracket to fill out for the group , does that mean it just entered my picks as the same that was used for other picks in the ESPN bracket challenge ?
Well the time has come and gone according to the NCAA and no teams pulled out cause of COVID 19. - -Which they said that the Tournament is NOW LOCKED. - -Meaning now if a team can't play the team they were suppose to play gets a bye till the next round .
Which means the Season is now ove for Louisville and others - -DONE. - -the one team they talking about is Virginia saying the are not even showing up till Thursday which also means if Virginia can't place then OHIO advances to the 2nd round with a bye. -- -67/68 teams are already in Indy - -Virginia the exception
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Transfer portal quickly approaching 500. Things are just getting started..
Penn State is having a fire sale.
Their two leading scorers Jones (15ppg) & Brockington( 12ppg) (both guards) have hit the portal as well as 4th, 6th & 8th leading scoreres. Jones is the best of the bunch.
Is most of these players transferrin Seniors or what my friend ? - - This thing is just going to be insane. - -I wonder in reality if we end up with anyone
not so worried about the 1st game BUT USC ? - - -watch out. - -A lot of the so called experts talking about USC making a run to the sweet 16. - A 7 footer that is predicted to be the # 2 pick in the NBA draft - Bilas saying Mobley will destroy lightfoot which he probably would 7 footer that can take it out on the floor - -not feeling real confident on our chances in this game - Mc Cormack has to play for us to have a chance. Hearing lots of talk about Mobley really good - but hey we have already played against the # 1 player to be drafted in the NBA so why not the # 2 lol - -I know totally different players, BUT still GIVE ME A SOLID team EFFORT and why not KU ?
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 1st round know your foe Eastern Washington:
@bskeet TV guide says 12-2:50, central. I thought game time was 12:15.
it is 12:15 according to the NCAA Schedule & also saw it in the CBS schedule
@DanR said in Well COVID Hitting a different angle:
Dang it, @jayballer67. You beat me to it! (deleted my post)
I don't think they all got it at the restaurant (2 to 5 day incubation phase), but one of them tested positive, so they all had to go. Dumb move to all go out together.
Shame to not to get to see Higgins in the tourney.
True but you would of thought the people at the Hotel would of known better also. I'm so tired of this virus. Lots of experience ref's not gonna be able to work this 1st weekend
Man crazy, Just read where COVID has caused 6 of the top referees to be ruled out for this weekend anyways. - -The NCAA had 60 officials report for the Tourney , and they wer to report Sunday Night was suppose to Check into the Motel well , when they got there the rooms wasn't ready yet , so instead of having the officials stand around they was sent to go eat and Guessing must of been where it was contacted. -I think they said 1 reported positive and they were all sent home for protcol.
Ted Valentine - - - -6 final fours , - - -John Higgins - - - - 8 final fours - - -Roger Ayers - - 3 Final fours - - -John Gaffney - - -1 final four - - -then Kip Kissinger - -& Roy Natile all of these guys were sent home - - holy crap NOT GOOD
@jayballer67 Would bet on him being the starting PG for the Kansas Jayhawks next season.
OH don't beteasing lol - - Na just messin with ya - -that would be some really good news , really nice addition for our 2021 class
Chances are 99.9 percent. He is really good and exactly what we needed for next season.
so your thinking Walker is a good bet then to committing to us ? - -that's what your saying ? sorry kind of thick lol - -takes me a minute , hope that's what your saying - -instantly fell in love with the way this kid , plays want him bad
There is ONE game that I think might be pretty interesting opening round game , and that is the North Carolina game - -could be quite the match up.
Also like they were saying on Bracketology last night I think Oklahoma State got screwed by being a 4 seed. -- Should of been a three for sure
@BeddieKU23 said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:
BC hired Charlestons' Earl Grant.
Depaul to fire their coach. Good recruiting class about to blow up
Minnesota fires the other Pitino
oh dam didn't know Pitino at Minnesota was in trouble. Guess that pretty well settles it for the # 1 prospect huh? - -he was out of Minnesota , had been talk about him staying in Minnesota but Gonzaga I think had pretty well got his interest - -can't remember his name for sure thinking it might of been Chet Holgrem - -is that right ?
@BeddieKU23 said in 1st round know your foe Eastern Washington:
Mobley is a Top 3 pick in the NBA Draft. Had 17 or 19 in the first half against Colorado. Really skilled big, big time shot blocker. Can shoot the 3. Really bad matchup for Dave. The worst kind of matchup honestly
ya , he is the one that scares me
Mercy BeddieKU - you put in a lot of work for this info - - Thank you so much for that Great Job. - Just hope things turn out good this weekend for us, I think anything past these 1st two games would be gravy. - -If we get a KU/USC match up could be interesting Mobly pretty dam good - -hope we as a team could whup some Trojan butt. - - Thanks again my friend appreciated
Ok , so for my Bucketeer inside B'Shark - - -dam buddy , why is it I fell instantly in love with this kid's game ? just got through watching a 5 1/2 minute video on his game and seen nothing I don't love. Ya I know somewhere he has his flaws I'm sure , n ow I don't claim to be a wizard about seeing what a kids got - - no recruiting analyst or anything BUT from what I can see what's not to like ?
I hate it when I see certain kids like this and to see we are reaching out showing interest , only for them to go else where BUT I mean really lol ?
let me break down what I took out of this Tyson Walker has good handles, handles the ball pretty well , good penetrator , showed a little floater , middle range game , looks to be really good actually 3 point shooter has some pretty decent range , looks to play solid defense looks to be able to drive and dish pretty well - - so what's NOT to like ?
Now if you want to get nit picky and I was when I was trying to find negative & really had to look but the one thing /concern would be size. Just wondering how his drives that it showed here just wondering how those drives he makes at North Eastern would convert over to a Major P-5 School?- -Kind of worried that might not work as well against High P-5 competition again size 6 foot be trying to drive against more talented Big's - -bigger Guards how would those drives work against say like Jarrod Butler -- Devion Mitchell those types? - Again small thing.
The only other negative is like Beddie pointed out - -the list of Schools that has reached out - -A LOT of Schools kind of a downer , what in the REAL world in reality what would you think are chances REALLY ARE a getting someone like this to commit here ? - -Especially with this NCAA thing hanging over our head. -- do you think he is in the least interested in us ? - - All I have to say in the end is -- -YES PLEASE St Patty's day coming up would be nice to get some Irish luck - -Lot of Irish in me my Mom's family last name McMahan can't get more Irish then that time to sprinkle some Lepricon dust on he bring him home lol
well onlt two of our Big 12 play late. - -We play at 1:15 on TBS
ummm so who is this Walker we are speaking of ? - - Did Slater tweet something favorable for us ? - -I hope

I'd rather have the stud that Coach is talking to in that Pic BUT - - - - - - -guess he would do lol
Dam re-traction CBS is screwy now these times keep changing guess we will find out for sure later lol
KU plays at 1:00 Sat - -Dam looks like everybody is playing at 1:00 on the day they are surpose to play. - - Reading this off CBS sports
You know here is a thought. I think some people are over reacting here just a smidge maybe possibly. - - Dave & Tristian were put in the COVID protocol , BUT that doesn't mean they have the COVID. Being put in protocol is strictly more for contact tracing , - - meaning they have come in contact with some one who tested positive for COVID or had some of the symptoms of COVID.- -that doesn't mean that Dave or Tristan had any symptoms, the KU staff Could very well put them in quarintine for safety precautions for the rest of the team. Hell they may not have had any symptoms of the COVID KU just following procedure like the word says following protocol you still have to spend X amount of days. - -hell I was exposed had to quarintine & follow timeline protocol - let's not over react - -I think we get them both back and we will be fine by the weekend, with KU taking on those precautions and following procedure they should be able to continue to test negative, were going to be as good as possible - -only one and he is a big one BUT THINK WE WILL BE ALL RIGHT. - - rock chalk all day long baby
@Kcmatt7 said in Selection Sunday:
Baylor has a tough road
their 2nd round gam could be kind of interesting which ever one they play. N Carol huge front line, yet the one thing Baylor has got - - -those guards those three guards
@BeddieKU23 said in Selection Sunday:
Usually need your whole team though for that and now everything thrown out the door with Dave and jalen on covid protocol. Basically everything could be lost that was built
Dave & Tristan should be available this weekend
@BeddieKU23 said in Selection Sunday:
There is no reason this team can't get to the elite 8 playing the way it has the past month. Its up to the players and Self to make it happen. Iowa as a 2 seed is laughable. Oregon is not the normal Oregon, USC is average. Seriously KU has played 10 teams tougher then this group in the bottom end of the bracket
I would have to agree some anyways - -Texas is better , Baylor obviously , West Virginia , Oklahoma State all just as good as any of these theams
Quentin - -Huge Tourney -- 21 points yesterday - - 21 points today and 3 steals. - -glad things turned out ok for him - - just didn't fit here
@JAYHAWKFAN214 said in Selection Sunday:
@BeddieKU23 said in Selection Sunday:
All signs point to KU being a #3 seed. Hopefully we get good matchups and more importantly fingers crossed our players will be able to play. I've been on the edge of my seat for 2 days now waiting for positive and bad news.
Yep it's looking that way that we will be a 3 seed
You & me both BeddieKU23 - -me tooooooooo. - -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The hatches have been battened down as far as info goes, wisely... I'm now betting ($) that we play in the tournament.

@approxinfinity said in Big-12 Tourney:
I will be rooting for both these teams in the tournament. Despite Cade being slightly no-joy-LeBronish, Ok St has quite a bit of talent and would love to see Big 12 shock the world this year.
K St is the only B12 team I like seeing fail.
ya, me too I pull for all the Big 12 after the Season is over. - -I pull for them in the Non Con. - -Hopefully the Big 12 can show something this tourney

I'm not particularly interested in Kane at this point. It would be too similar to Beaty's background at this point as far as P5 experience as a coordinator goes. I know he's a Jayhawk and probably who a lot of people at KU will want because of that, but I think he'll be a better candidate during the next coaching search.
Lance Leipold should probably be the top choice if Jones doesn't do enough this season to earn the job. The criticism from casual fans on Leipold is going to be what happened last time we hired Buffalo's head coach even though Gill was never given a fair chance by the fan base or Zenger.
That's not much of an argument against Leipold is it ? - -I'm all in for him. Your not going to hire a guy just because he Coach's Buffalo lol. - That doesn't factor if he knows he X's & O's does it
Not any different than when I suggested Mark Farley to replace Turner Gill I believe (I don't remember if it was here or KUSports) and people jumped all over me because he was from the same school as Terry Allen prior to when he came to KU. So people are dumb enough to do that and make the Gill comparison with Leipold regardless of how unfounded it would be just like a Farley/Allen comparison was about 10 years ago.
I hear ya - -a lot of people just don't get it. - If the guy knows how to run a program and it's obvious to me anyways the guy has had Success I don't give a dam where he is coming from Buffalo or Ten Buck Two his record /preformance speaks for it's self - let him work with these young guys we get they might just be surprised - - I'm in

The Duke NCAA Tournament drama isn't over yet. If they somehow managed to end up as a first four out team, they could end up as a replacement team if teams from multiple bid leagues have to drop out.
Rece Davis was told that Duke will be able to play in the NCAA Tournament if they end up as an at-large (not happening) or a replacement team (possibility). So there is a potential scenario where Duke could end up replacing Kansas in the NCAA Tournament.
ya and I got a chance to be the Pope tomorrow too. - I heard Reece talking about that - - - NOT HAPPENING
I agree it's unlikely, but I'm not going to rule anything out at this point until either tomorrow if Duke isn't a First Four Out team or Tuesday when the deadline for replacement teams to be swapped in happens if Duke is in the First Four group.
I'm not ruling anything out at this point when it comes to Duke and them being the NCAA's golden child.
For sure especially about Duke being the NCAA Golden Child - - ESPN just promoting the hell out of the possibility of them still being able to play, some of these people are just crazy. - -Duke , Duke , Duke. I'm sure they are wating with baited breath hoping thet either Ku OR Virginia can't make the NCAA and slide right in there - -they would get a really sweet seeding too replacing either one of us
