@jayballer67 I'm fine with him taking open shots. Needs to keep the d honest. But he is not the kind of guy you want putting up guarded looks.

the question is , why is he so open. - -he is open for a reason - - no threat from the outside, opposition fine with him taking those shots too

2/9 3 pointers to 7/12 ya , sounds about right

Garret has taken 2 of those 9 and they were both BAD shots (maybe end of the shotclock...)

Dam , Dam seen a picture of Hawley that he posted from June 2019 to June 2020. He said 365 of hard work , lots of calories off TOS -- insane transformation the before skinny squawny little kid to a - - - pretty dam healthy stud, very solid looks really really good kid is built yet still room for more man the kid has big time upside build wise he has put in some Serious work. Couple of other posters also talked about how insane the transformation was

2021 Recruiting β€’ Jan 12, 2021 06:17 PM

Seen some of Hawleys Hudl tape. - -Not a dual threat although some have him listed. - -Not jet feet but has some mobility to be able to get out of some situations. - -Seems to throw on the run pretty well. Great size , throw a nice deep ball.

Not ever going to turn a kid like this away. love how he said the staff didn't guarantee him any starting spot, but said if he came in and worked hard he would have a chance to make this team his own. It's nice to know that he knows that he isn't just walking in and starting day one - - unless he earns it. - Love the fact he is enrolling early , make him and Easters both early enrollees , just glad we have some HIGH SCHOOL Qb we can work with and develop . Still think Jalen has the inside track RIGHT NOW and I think he has promise just glad to get some QB commits.

2021 Recruiting β€’ Jan 12, 2021 05:49 PM

Welp we got Hawley I'm good with that for sure , good size 6'5 - least wouldn't or shouldn't be having balls slapped back in his face , having trouble seeing over his linemen.

If anything I think this gives us a solid core to work with . We now have Daniels who has a year of P-5 experience Still considered a Freshman , now we have Easters coming in and I myself kind of like the kid looks solid to me nice deep ball & now we have Hawly I just feel even at this point this trio is better then what we have had.

These guys have time to develop instead of some grad transfer that will be gone after a year , or some dam Juco that is suppose to be the 2nd coming. - -Gives these guys time to develop , I like the trio could work into something.

Now the key is giving them some hogs that will protect these guys and give them time to make their reads and time for plays to develop instead of spending 3/4 of their counts running for their lives. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Going to quote Bossi on this one: "Jai Smith says a lot of things to a lot of people."

Gotcha. - - -is my thinking wrong though? -- -Shouldn't we be good for 2022 in the front court bud ?

2022 Recruiting Thread β€’ Jan 11, 2021 09:27 PM

Ok , so I guess I'm missing something. Help me friends. Could be wrong but just seems to me with what we have committed for NEXT year Clemmons , & KJ Adams plus others we will have - -seems like our front court would be good. Having said that this is why I'm commenting.

KU is one of seven schools prioritizing 6'10 Jai Smith from the word of God North Carolina - -has 35 offers or interest I guess , other schools are Alabama , Georgia , Houston , Illinois , Marquette , & Memphis. - -off the 247 site it shows Ku & Maryland listed as warms on his Schools of Interest.

So my question is & again it says we are prioritizing him - -my question would be WHY ? - -I just think it would be more important for the backcourt - -I would think we should be fine up front. - - Am I missing something ?

@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:

Hmm. Baylor is ranked #2 having only played 1 ranked team to date, Illinois who's sliding currently (lost to Maryland 7-6 at home). They had games canceled against Gonzaga and Texas. They didn't look great against TCU, pulled away in the 2nd half but wasn't dominant by any means. KU has winnable games this week before playing Baylor on Big Monday. Setting up a huge game

You can now add West Virginia to the list of postponed games for Baylor. - Their Game tomorrow night against WV -according to their site West Virginia protocol for COVID. - - Huggy said they had several players that had the flu Saturday - -So for Baylor. - - No Gonzaga , No Texas , Now No West Virginia - - -hmmm talk about luck

@nuleafjhawk said in We have all heard that phrase - never happen to me. - - Well:

@jayballer67 Yep - happened to me TWICE and about half of the people that I work with. I spent .....7-8 hours online filling out reports, then another couple on the phone and made a trip to the local police station.

Some moving parts here, but Conrad Hawley may announce for KU as early as Tuesday and be an early enrollee. Some schools are still trying to get him to hold off.

Man could we use that or what? - - -I think he is a quality QB ? - -we just need a little break get a at least QUALITY QB - -keep your fingers crossed hard Farmer even double crosses

I have been avoiding this site due to the LACK of Dave slander.

We must now create a separate website. Either you love Dave or you hate Dave and there is no middle ground.

You can’t think Dave seems like a great human and a mediocre basketball player at the D1 level. That kind of luke warm opinion is not welcome here.

Lol not welcome here - -OK I happen to like Dave , i will say a lot of times out of position , and slow several occasions, BUT also can help fir sure. - Where would we be without him today ? - - What about TCU without his 20/8 could of been in real trouble there too. - -He is not a great player by anymeans but he isn't as bad as some try to make him out to be either

Again my friends don't look for this team to make a deep run in the Tourney - probably sweet 16 tops. - Anything after that pure gravy. -- I know MAYBE we should self impose a one year ban from the Tourney like Sweaty boy from Arizona - ya that's what we need to do. - Avoid disapointment AND selfimpose - - ya that will work

@DCHawker said in Boomer Thread:

Well, it's a win, but a lot more difficult that it should have been at home with OU very short-handed....

I am blaming Marcus. Well, and not having guards in general so that Marcus has to play out of position. It's going to matter some nights but not others. Need a guard for next year badly.

We need a PG that poses more of a scoring threat keeping Defense honest - - Hopefully Cuffe ?

this comes back to again about how this is one of Coach's worst shooting teams he has had

Not really. The problem is moreso speed and athleticism and being able to get good looks. We have had worse actual shooting teams, but they made up for it with speed.

possibly although Self himself has said this is not one of his better shooting teams. - -proof in the pudding over 5 minutes this time NO FGS
