🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Have mentioned this throughout the year , but when they asked Coach who had made the most improvement during the off year, Coach responded and said David McCormack without a doubt - - no doubt about it.

Had people doubting that as Dave struggled early, slow to come around, but he has gotten better as the year has gone on. - There has been times if it wasn't for him we would of been screwed, think some people not looking in the right places, not flashy by any means , not dominant by any means but just has become a steady guy.

Some things about this Dave is getting the least minutes of any of the Starting 5. - - Dave is only playing 21.9 minutes per contest YET , he is averaging 13.o ppg 2nd best production behind Agbaji - He is Averaging 6.1 rpg not the best by any means coudl kick that up to say at least 8 - -8.5 per but still not punk either. Dave has the best shooting % on the team at 48.9 % 3rd best free throw shooting % 80.5 which is pretty dam good for a big man and seeing as how he has the 2nd most attempts for the team , good to see him be able to step up and knock down the free points. - - Dave leads the team in blocks with 23 so overall, not as bad as some think. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ha, not trying to insinuate anything BUT sure is strange after all these postponements That Baylor is scheduled to play for the 1st time in I don't know when , gonna return to Court against no other then - - -drum roll please - - -Iowa St - Hey now there is a scare. Just happened to be to much to play against WV and other stiffer competition - -oh well

Watching Michigan State for the 1st time this year against a so so Purdue team. - - Now I see why Michigan St has struggled this year - - they kinda suck little green Apples, not a typical Michigan St/ Izzo team - - weak defensively

@BeddieKU23 said in In this thread we Stan Jalen Wilson:

@Marco

I think a combine could keep him around longer then we think. Athletically he won't go higher then 2nd round. He's going to have to become super skilled and consistent from the perimeter to even have a chance. But as a freshman hes making a huge impact and that usually bodes well for their future

you know and you might of just kin of hinted at it , I'm not really sure Jalen is a Pro. - -Might fall in that area where like a tweener, can be a very solid College player but just not quite enough for pro. not really sure if he IS athletic enough , don't get me wrong you know not even really sure if he is that great vertically/hops , but just a kid that has a nose for the ball on rebounds. Have we actually see him REALLY get up for rebounds or just ehhh, Just the right place right time, a someone who can work and get good position. His J like you say I think even to have a shot needs more consistency in the pro - really like Jalen at the College level but got reservations on a Pro level. - -A Lot of kids fall in this area Really good College but just not quite good enough to be drafted

@BeddieKU23 said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:

Mentioned Hunter a few weeks ago. I know ISU has had great guard play over the years but seriously this kid would elevate KU for next year..

let me ask you this , in all reality do you think this kid would ever change his mind and de-commit if ISU Coach stepped down or got fired ? - -What % would you think there would be that possibility , was we ever a consideration for this kid ?

Well done Jalen my man , Jalen got named Big 12 New Comer of the week for his outings - -Hell Ya - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

not actually KU related BUT - - looks like Drew has done it AGAIN. - -sure looks like he is going to get a commit out of Vince Iwuchukwu the 7 footer that KU had shown interest in. Baylor receiving quite a few CB'S for him - - dammit

Read abo ut Johnson. If their Season hadn't already went down the ol toilet - -It has now - -mercy K how's that feel

My sister lives in south Louisiana and she has about 1” of ice. Not great

when I was watching the Weather Channel this morning it was snowing it's butt off in Louisiana they were reporting maybe 100 yards sight it was snowing hard. Think they were reporting from like Monroe maybe ?

@BShark said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:

@Kcmatt7 Prohm is going to step down, let's poach their PG.

is this a sure thing ? - Did you read/hear this somewhere buddy ? Hell I don't even know who their PG is lol

Welp that didn't last long. - -Were back in the AP top 25, we check in at 23 rd. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Non-KU Games Thread:

TCU and Texas Tech has been postponed due to the winter storm that has the entire state of Texas under a winter storm warning. This is also the first time I've ever experienced a sub-zero wind chill in Houston. It feels and looks like a Kansas winter here right now.

Just be safe & stay warm. - -I was watching the Weather Channel this morning showed shots of Dallas & they also had a reporter in Louisiana , they were sayin - in Louisiana that if people were waiting for them to come clear the roads might as well keep on waiting cause it wasn't coming , nature going to have to clear it off as they have no equipment. makes sense as they normally annually only get 9/10 of and inch he said.

Unfortunatley I have a friend who lives in Houston that is Homeless , mercy don't know how he is making it in times like now , just you be safe I'm sure roads are not the best there. - I know the was saying Dallaas was expecting another big storm Wednsday.- - Woke up here in Topeka this morning to a reading of minus 8 - -& Wind Chill of - - -Minus 28 - and snowing take care buddy

I know it's Co-incidental but lookie here. - - Baylor gets yet again avoid a Huge road game against WV tonight. Don't get me wrong Baylor is clearly the top in Conference but still - - - - - -

@Kcmatt7 said in Avoid The Hangover Game Thread:

This team really needs either Bryce or Braun to step up before the season is over. If one of those two can get hot, we can make a run.

Dave is playing great lately. Wilson is back to doing Wilson things. The defense has been "Bill Selfed."

We just need one more guy to get it going on the offensive end and so we can avoid extended periods of not scoring. Or at least get so hot that we can make a few quick 8-0 runs to stay in the game.

I think if I was a betting guy - - which I'M NOT , but IF I was , I think I'd lay chances of being better that the one getting hot before the end of the Season over the other would be Christan strictly experience wise bryce is going to be very solid but at this point as of this moment I still think Braun would have the better shot. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark said in Avoid The Hangover Game Thread:

Dave and Jalen are now playing better together as well. There was definitely a bit of an adjustment for Jalen in that regard but it's gucci now.

I like Gucci lol

Read an article talking about Devon. - -Interviewed his Dad and he was talking about how happy his Dad was that Devon was getting the chance for a Team that Devon grew up loving and getting the Chance to play for that team - his Dad obviously happy to get that chance to see him.

Talking about how Chicago didn't send their G league affiliate to the Disney World bubble where the league is hosting it's 18 game schedule campaign but THEY DID send Devon.

Devon is getting reps with the Cleveland Cavaliers affiliate the Canton Charge and Devon in a starting role already making an immediae impact averaging 14 points per game -- 6 assists per game - - 5.5 rebounds per game - -and a steal.

Breakdown of his first 2 games are : Against Memphis 16 points - - 2 assists - - -1 TO & 2 rebounds in 29 minutes. - his 5 first half shots came at the rim & his 1st step quickness was on full display.

Game 2 against the Greensboro Swarm he had 12 points & TEN ASSISTS - - -3 turnovers -- 9 rebounds & a steal in 35 minutes -Hope things work out for him ultra quick.

The bulls Coach said just wasn't a good spot at present with them having 3 guards and Devon was getting a chance to show and Devon was a guy that needed to play - -Keep up the work buddy hoping it pays off

@BShark said in 2021 Commit Stats Tracker:

Zach dropped 20 on 9-13 shooting last night. :sweat_droplets:

Sunrise beat Oak Hill Acad the other night and we all know how good they are out of Mouth of Wilson - -is that the same game you talking about cause that was a HUGE WIN for Sunrise

Not sure if this kid is 2021 OR 2022. - -The heading says 2021 KU is in his final 10 - -Whoopie , Combo Guard - -Noah Shelby. - -yet in the article says he is 2022, so you tell me. - -Bet he is 2022, anybody know anything on this kid ?

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Oh boy. Rocket can get buckets but he's not a finished product by any means

was this someone KU was in on originally ?

@stoptheflop said in Avoid The Hangover Game Thread:

So, do we get back in the top 25? We've played the toughest schedule, but the voters don't seem to be taking that into account. A'holes.

I still don't think we make it back to the top 25, cause if you would count it out we were like 33rd in votes this past week. -- It's ok makes us less of a target when we play , I mean were still a target cause were Kansas but not quite as bad

N Carolina has 4 points with like 11:37 left in the 1st half against Virginia - -down 15-4

Really Glad to see Jalen come out of his slump a player we need for sure. - - 4th straight game with a Double Double . - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Welp , looks like Kentucky & Duke have finally found somebody they can beat. - - Kentucky wins by TWO at home against an 11-10 Auburn team and Duke beating up on a weak NC State team that's 8-8.

I kind of thinking these guys are wishing they could play a Season full of these guys lol

Wow , Iowa Hammers Michigan St by 30
