I hate this crap. And if Hunter goes down with an injury at some point we're basically screwed. We've become Kentucky with a bunch of unknowns/sort of knowns.

ya we are left with Hunter - -no depth at the 5 now - -and yet I don't blame Udeh or Zuby a bit

We have 6'6 KJ still.

and remember one of the reasons we got our ass beat on the boards so bad - KJ good player but doesn't board/ and or can't. He gives all he is got but to undersized at the 5

This sucks….6-11 could go up and get it. Was perfect guy to change how we play defensively when Hunter needed a breather

I don't like it - - I don't like this s - - - one bit

@nuleafjhawk said in Bye Bye Ernest:

@Eric-san If I may be so bold - the portal SH*T needs to be stopped. Put an end to it.

ya this is getting pretty sad - -BS - -just stop recruiting High School players

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Kansan article:

I think the cuts were going to happen regardless of this project. I can't imagine the whole school can't see how the success of the fb program brings success to KU and Lawrence!

your right . - The success of the football program will generate revenue - -as we all know or been told its football that is the revenue making sport - this project has no bearing on the cuts , like you said it just amazes me these people -Coach see it's the one's who is funding the project understands the importance of it and how it will benefit us - -if not then they wouldn't of backed the project

I'm so sick and tired of fair weather people. - For the majrity the Univrsity nd fans have been complaining how rash the stadium was/is. We had seems multiple times efforts or so called efforts gossip about possible upgrades.

The fans wanting a respectable football program , instead of laughing stock of the nation. - -A total do over of Booth has been needed in the worst way. - - Now we finally gt a Coach who is invested in the program but also stetting time tables for up grades - people bitching before - -and people bitching now. Where was these people when all these other parts of the University needed re-do's - -why didn't w hear more then ?

I don't claim to be any Einstein on these things, quite possibly ore then likely they do need repair - -but why have to waited to voice heir dis pleasure so publicly now ?

Here is the bottom line we are on the cusp of having again a very respectable football program tat if indeed turns out will draw a lot of revenue , the plans that have been put out hsa multi facet things that can and will help the University.- -In order to obtain this YES remodel booth is a must and that takes money, which sure seems like the plan is in place to obtain the goal.

The broader overall scheme is to have a better program which will make money in return, but remodel is all part of it. you want to attract bette athletes - -then you have to keep up with the Jone's with your facilities that takes MONEY.

Coach L has put stipulations - -pretty much demanding upgrades - -which I back 100 times over, plain and simple if this renovation gets shut down Leipold walks - -then we once again will be wollering in non existence - let's just do away with fotball for good - don't worry about the money this thing could ake in the future - -get it in your little pumpkin heads it's going to help more then just football

This fricken article does NO GOOD for anyone but these fricken whiners who no matter what are not happy. -I'm to the point where fine lets' just keep the same ol piece of crap stadium we got now - -shut football down - Let coach walk and go to a University that appreciates what he is trying to do - -not for just football but for the University as a while -- let's wave good bye to him become an idependent University and then listen to people bitch about not being relevant to any fricken thing - I am so fricken so dam tired of chronic bitchers never happy Tings take Money - -NOTHING IS FREE. - I'd be really interested to find out how strongly these people were about Money before this came up - probably not very much just want to sit back bitch , cry, moan , complain - -GOD it must suck to be so miserable - this NEEDS TO BE DONE - I back the Football program - the athletic department as a whole - - I hope Coach just walks -screw it you want quality football - you have to sacrifice things - - -have to be willing to commit. - -I'm sure there are ways for money to be received for these other buildings - anything is possible

@BShark said in Kansan article:

Trash article

Boy you can say that again

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread:

I know it's not likely to happen, but it'd still argue that KJ needs to come off the bench. By the looks of Self's offseason take charge attitude, I think he's ready to move on from KJ as a starter.

Starters:

G- Harris

G- Morris

F- Timberlake

F- Mgbako

C- Dickinson

Rotation players

G- Jackson

wing/big - KJ

F- Marcus Adams

F- Udeh

Deep Bench

G- Johnson

G- McDowell

I think wee gonna see El Marko over Morris

@approxinfinity said in Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread:

@rockchalkjayhawk lets add McCullar and call it a wrap.

Ok let's say this ALL together lol - -KEVIN IS NOT I repeat- - NOT COMING BACK - -there now don't you feel better lol

@Jethro said in Em V Biid!:

OMG- why couldn't we have him for just one more year?

🐦 View Tweet

Dam I love me some Christan - - love his cockiness - -that edge - -mentality - -kind like - -ya I DID THAT now what - - Kevin didn't even challenge almost like eh maybe not lmao

@approxinfinity said in Oh No Huggins:

Maybe they should let Huggins decide what charity to donate that $1mil to, like the $25k he earns in his contract when he beats KU, which he donated to cancer research in the past.

A little less punitive, and an opportunity to show his heart.

But Huggy hasn't had much luck with the 25,000 part to donate for charity- from beating KU , better try a ne approach lol

HUGE game for Jo Jo and the sixers tonight -Almost a must win even though the Series is 2-2 , they lose this and makes thin really rouh would have to win 2 in a row with th Finale in Boston.

An interesting thin , it's amazing how much i have grown to dislike Brogden for Boston , not that he has done anything wrong just the dam guy if he is open - - he won't miss and their 3'3 I can't beleive how many it seems he has made. - -didn't he play at Virginia ?

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 Recruiting:

@jayballer67 yep, KU or IU. I like KU but until the blood dries...

I hear ya bud. - - Like I posted earlier , no matter what fanbase you read post from doesn't matter their School is the clear leade and he is a lock for their School lol

@BShark said in 2023 Recruiting:

"In my mind, it's KU, Bill Self. Everyone else fall into line. Too (expletive) bad,"

So not only did he cancel but eliminated Louisville all together ?

Dam did anyone else see where Marcus Adams went off for 44 points Broke Scoring record and won the MVP at the Ballislife All American game - - Holy bat crap lol

@BShark I couldn't agree with you more BShark 1000% agree. That's what I've been saying here for some time now IF they are going to try and play KJ at the 4 - -or possibly START at the 4 I don't see it KJ has no jumper I think the longest I saw wa maybe about 8-9 ft and that was only very few - no consistency, his scores were either lobs or little 3-4 foot shoots.

I love KJ to death , great kid , hustles gets the most out of what he has - -but if there is ANY thought of him at the 4 - - -that kid better be shooting 1,000-2,000 a day in developing a shot- - he ha no shot. If you were hoping he would score from the 4 , remember he was scoring around 8 from the 5 lot closer shots/lobs - he will have to work his but off to have a chance at a 4 spot

On top of that he needs to be able to be a better rebounder from the floor/4 spot. - People said well you got to remember he won't be rebounding against bigger 5's playing the 4 - -he won't ? - -why not ? just because he is playing the 4 - -opposition 5's saying OH well your a 4 man , I'm not trying to ge the rebound from you ? - - he still has to compete against 5's to get the rebound no matter what position he plays. KJ just not a good offensive rebounder - well really not a good rebounder period. - -Sorry I just don't see it

@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

Not someone KU likely goes after but Marshall's SG Andrew Taylor enters the portal. Averaged 20ppg (crazy that was 2nd on the team in scoring) off 41% FG, 36% from 3, 4.7 boards & assists. Stat stuffer

Was gonna post this myself. - -I would like to see them contact him at least for sure, might just be the one we needed to fill that other spot & then Mgbako too

Thing is his tteam was gonna be really sceappy this yeat to. According to 247 they have WV as the # 1 transfer portal ranking-just a little above Ku, never know he might not be there to Coach them now.

@bskeet said in Oh No Huggins:

Why would anyone say such a thing?

That ought to be enough to open a head coach search at WVU.

more then likely, he haas since apologized but think it comes a little to late

They were laughing at the time , guess it's not so funny now huh

@mayjay said in Oh No Huggins:

Radio host sorta looks even dumber (if possible) since Huggy's apology admitted it was the very bad word, not a weather reference.

Well Huggy no better then anyone else, you just can't go around making those kinds of Statements. just because he apologizes doesn't make it magically go away. I could only imagine if Coach Self got caught saying something like this. As baad as so many wnt his scalp anyways -- what goes around comes around

@BShark Mercy Iowa State on a roll. Add this to the football player- - clean as a whistle

@Jethro said in Oh No Huggins:

@jayballer67 said in Oh No Huggins:

The radio host came back later and posted what HUGGY actually said was Catholic FOGS which is a compliment, that’s not what I heard

What's a fog?

Hell if I know, just what he came back lateer and said according to his post. Saw that off the WV board. -I guess it's supposed to be a compliment lol

@FarmerJayhawk said in Oh No Huggins:

Jesse Edwards and Raequan Battle come on down!

either one would be fine

What do we think the implications of this will be ?- -WV fans thinks no big deal, saying if people don't like it they can go find somewhere else to cry.

Others saying MAYBE a one or two game suspension. I honestly don't know but it could get bad possibly.- What was he thinking ? - you just can't say those things being a public figure, during a live broadcasts.

The radio host came back later and posted what HUGGY actually said was Catholic FOGS which is a compliment, that's not what I heard

Oh Lordy , what did Huggy do , he said that live on the Air. Mecy very well could be gone- -calling Xavier fans CATHLOIC FAGS -sorry for the mis spelling.--that's not good what the hell did he do.

Harden on fire right now

Question , if I remember right didn't Doc Rivers play for Norte dame in College ?

@Bosthawk said in Hunter Dickenson is a Jayhawk:

Yes- looks like the new normal is that top programs like KU can cherry pick seasoned and more or less proven guys from other programs, by odds mostly lesser ones, who want to play for a blue blood and want to cash in on a lucrative NIL deal that we can easily afford. The rich get richer as always, But now quicker.

So, the big question I have is, is recruiting now much less critical? This really changes the whole process. We all loved the guys who played 4 years and grew with the program into very good players. I love senior nights… now most seniors are gonna be 1 or 2 year transfers who don’t have as much of a connection to the school as we used to have. Bummer.
If we recruit really good players, and as freshman they understandably don’t get a lot of playing time because we always have a fresh crop of experienced transfers, they will leave. One and done in a different way

You remember the phrase about how some playes don't even bother to unpack their bags ?- - that's what it is now becoming. ---the connection between the players ,connection and the school those days are pretty much over. the days of 4 yr kids coming nd developing- -pretty much gone. - Seen a post from TOS - -why would schools want to recruit kds when they can just reload with transfers is gonna becom the norm

@kuballin10 said in Hunter Dickenson is a Jayhawk:

@jayballer67 I think you have a way better chance of knowing because it’s against college competition versus high schoolers who are my height and have unfortunately my athleticism. Any 6-8 kid with some skill will dominate

Dam your 6'8 and athletic - holy smokes send Bill your tape

Kentucky fns were afraid of losing Bradshaw- -talk about wanting to play with James

@kuballin10 said in Hunter Dickenson is a Jayhawk:

@dylans it’s a better guarantee at knowing what you get with a player. Some high school top recruits clearly transfer to d1 well and others suck.

A proven 21 year old with stats at d1 level >>> 18 year old who’s played bad aau ball and isn’t guaranteed to be proven at the next level

I get Zion or certain recruits are “sure things” but ultimately you don’t know until they are on campus.

So you know what your getting OR THINK you know. - No guarantees he will preform like that next yr. - - It's impossible to predict that- , a lot of things could happen. - -just impossible to make any kind of prediction on how thigs will go. - We THINK we know, chances are BUt still - hell Hunter could come out and suck- you don't know 100 % for sur

@dylans said in Prime time just insane:

@jayballer67

71 transfers out

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/37412154/deion-sanders-colorado-football-transfer-portal-overhaul-numbers ↗

Some the guys he told to hit the road nuts. - -It WIL come back and haunt himin some form or another. - They have 16 returning Scholi players. They figure their numbers will be around 67 at the start of the Season

@dylans said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

Is there any chance that McCullar comes back?

Very slim BUT maybe depends on how his NBA tryouts go. - -Got invited to the Combine I think

@rcjhdraft said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

@jayballer67 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

So are people still thinking Zuby or Udeh transfers out ? - - no need as we have one Scholi left and the one I know we are really serious on is Mackenzie. - -I hate the thought one or the other of them leaving - -adds really good depth

Seems to be a given that one of them leaves. They just added a guy who's playing at least 30 minutes a game and both were top 50 recruits that probably wanted an increased role at the very least.

I understand that just hate to see good kids that develop during their 4 years. have seen it over and over with Bill --Sad that there has to be someone that loses in these situations.

So are people still thinking Zuby or Udeh transfers out ? - - no need as we have one Scholi left and the one I know we are really serious on is Mackenzie. - -I hate the thought one or the other of them leaving - -adds really good depth

Well kind of a downer I was jacked hoping would be a great way to end the week - -but if his visit went sa really good as been hearing, guess it probably won't matter. Still think were in great shape huh ? - -hope turns out well

Dam I would of much rather preferred he didn't take anymore visits

@BShark said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

@Kcmatt7 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

If they end up landing that plane, we can thank Adidas for getting involved fa sho

Sounds like he will take the Indiana visit but not Louisville. And you bet your butt Adidas got involved here.

so now then probably not happening what we thought might happen tomorrow

@dylans said in Iowa St LBer:

@jayballer67 Not the same level, definitely not what I’d want on campus! Broke her back. Yikes.
ISU showed him the door

ya definetly alot worse- --good

@Eric-san said in Hunter Dickenson is a Jayhawk:

Damn... now my summer is gonna go by incredible slow..

LOL , hang in there it will be shorter cause , e actually now also have a football team that is up ad coming and competitive

@dylans ya I saw that. So not just KU with questionable players, but this kid is suspended indefintely

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread:

Back to the original purpose of this thread. New line up with Hunter Dickinson involved now for me would be:

Starters
G: Harris
G: Morris
G: Timberlake
F: KJ Adams
C: Dickinson

Bench Rotation
G: Jackson
F: Marcus Adams
F: Udeh/Ejiofor

Timberlake at the 3 guy ?

@kuballin10 said in Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread:

@Texas-Hawk-10 You getting them confused?

Udeh was the 6-11 guy who’d block shots (often get way out of position and whiff as well) and throw down some lobs.

Zuby may have rebounded better but Udeh had some quick hands getting steals at the top on switches a few times.

I will say this - it DID seem like he came up with more steals from a guy that size that you wouldn't think about. - -I really hate to lose either one of these guys though is they both 4 year players, and w have seen thee types develop before into pretty solid payers - -( umm does Azulbuike ring a bell lol- - McCormack ? ) -- I know like some have said I GUESS it's a business but these are suck likeable guys.

Kida wonder with all these transferring out - -and then guys who really didn't want to leave it seems ( Cuffe ) - kinda pushed out , just wonder some where down the line this doesn't come back and bite us in the ass

@dylans said in Dajuan Harris (red-shirt PG):

“I have two more years left,” DaJuan Harris Jr.

YES SIR - -& he talking like he using both

@dylans said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

Roster could use a 4. Come on down Mackenzie!

things looking good - - cross your fingers when you lay down tonight lol

@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

@jayballer67

Seems like I should like our chances here. I'm just out here winging it

don't feel bad your not alone lol

@kuballin10 said in Hunter Dickenson is a Jayhawk:

@jayballer67

Hear me out….

Juan

Timberlake

Adams - Marcus

Mgbako

Hunter

Shooters everywhere. If Adam’s game doesn’t translate as fast bump him for Timberlake and put Morris at the 2.

No clue how KJ is gonna start at the 4 and I love me some KJ

I forgot about Marcus.- -thing is though these guys are still freshman - -big jump from High School studs to Major College, having said that I think that's a pretty good line up - - Juan can have a field day with these guys. Man I hope we land Mackenzie tomorrow - -if he DOES announce.

You would if he does announce tomorrow , our chances you would think would be pretty good , s he is making announcement coming out of our visit and to my knowledge hasn't been to Louisville or Indiana yet - -only St John. - we become suddenly loaded. - then we stil have Morris & KJ and another big coming off the bench.. - -I really like KJ to - just pull hustle, defend, thing is though or I should say another thing w gotta get more then 4 rebounds a game out of him if he is playing the 4 spot , that and develop the middle range at least J

Another thing is IF we happen to land Mgbako .really don't see how teams will be able to sag on Hunter to much as Mgbako ha a really good mid range game hit three's is his strong point and can hit the J off pick and pop. You put Timberlake out there too just can't see where it works trying to sag on Hunter.

We also went from a eam strugling to score at times to a potential scoring Machine with Hunter & Timberlake and if we can land Mgbako
