Gradey is tough
He's been lazy tonight, big part of ISU getting back in it. I'm hard on him because he can be so much better.
So , So , so- -much better. there are phases for sure he needs lots of improvement on -where yes he should come back. -- BUT HE WON'T
This team can be so dam frustrating
@BeddieKU23 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
Probably big that we kept a lead while going deep in that bench. We got little out of the bench but we stole some freshness
We just don't have a bench this year

I was so damn happy this morning when I saw KSUcks LOST🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
they coming back down to the real world. - -Miles was making them look silly last night and MERCY did they turn the ball ove and TCu ran them to death on turnovers
@kjayhawks It's just that Iowa State makes a game look so dam ugly. - -They play ugly maug grab push , pull shove ball
You CAN NOT have Bobby & Joe in the game at the same time - they make ugly plays
@BeddieKU23 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
Harris has struggled all yr at the line
If your a PG your gonna have to learn how to make FT'S - your gonna have the ball in your hands late every time
why is Bobby playing - -DRIBBLE - - - -DRIBBLE - - -DRIBBLE - - DRIBBLE 5,4,3,2
good GOD Grady got mugged
Dam where was the offensive goal tending on that ?
Iowa State out rebounded Baylor 30-5 in the 2nd half last night
Jalen come to play some ball lol
so is the game on ESPN - or ESPN 2 - my guide for both Chanels says Duke & Miami
@drgnslayr said in Bill Self Health Issue:
So is it our belief that he received a stint or two?
If so, not sure that impacts his abilities to coach in his current style. I think it relates more to him improving his lifestyle choices relating to his health... meaning mostly diet.
It will be interesting when it's all said and done if he returns this Season or not. - Pretty quick re-run if he does. I bet they would advise him not to. - -health more important then Coaching
@mayjay said in Bill Self Health Issue:
@jayballer67 If his health drives Self out, we should make sure @approxinfinity forwards the "Who will replace Self?" thread to Girod so he can get a head start.
Good Idea , he needs to listen to us - we can pick a goat lol
@kjayhawks said in Bill Self Health Issue:
@BShark Very little info I was waiting for some type of press release with all rumors flying. Hopefully he is able to coach next week and beyond. Stuff like this makes me worried he could retire very soon.
It's things like this that could very well make him think harder- - retire sooner. - Stop and think about it, I had said maybe 5-7 more years - been stated that he didn't want to be one of these long time things - -wants to be able to enjoy the wife , travel and enjoy grandkids. - This game can be very , very stressful. you think about having to put up with al the BS from the NCAA everyday - - being on the road so much away from family dealing with recruiting and 18-19 yrs old thought process and how you have to constantly stay on top of them,. Just a lot of pressure- then STILL nothing about the ruling of these so called infractions weighing on you.
With this whole thing with these possible infractions and having this problem he could very easily say - -screw it -sooner then he had planned originally
@kjayhawks said in Who would ever replace Self?:
What about Norm Roberts?
ya , why not - -Knows Coach Self's system, so no change there, Been with Ku as long as Coach - -seems like continuity wouldn't been broken. - We could do worse
Thanks for carrying me through the game guys yesterday. - - Had my surgery yesterday so missed the game - -just to doped up when I got home, got it recorded but just saw some highlights this morning. Haven't watched it yet. - Hope we play well today , both games against these guys have been to dam close - -well not at Hilton but thats not us. - -If w play the way we should , we have I don't see why shouldn't be 10 point win. - Really glad to see Grady break out of that slump some

@KirkIsMyHinrich that why I was low on Nowell, he good but turns it over at a high clip and shoots 30 plus footers too often.
Him and Johnson both way to loose with the ball & true Nowell trying to be a Trey Young double - -soon as you cross Mid Court - -SHOOT. - -YOU NOTICE HOW MANY OF THOSE SHOTS HE WAS JACKING UP WAS HITTING THE FRONT OF THE RIM - -COMING UP SHORT
Dam sorry about not editing last post still recouping from surgery lol - -sorry for all the caps

K-State has made enormous gains this year. No doubt Tang is better than Liberace. Still hate 'em, though.
Now we will see NEXT year ,what they do without Nowell and Johnson
Just looked like to me that Texas Tech was just going through the motions to night - - like no interest in being there at all , and ready to get the Season over with
Well with Boeheim retiring now has just made HUGGY BEAR the winningest Active Coach in the NCAA'S - -let's just make sure he doesn't get his next W against us - -ROCK CHALK

@Kcmatt7 said in 2024 recruiting thread:
@BShark I can't find much tape on MA jr. Can you post some?
Mostly dunks in these videos but from what I've heard good shooter, solid handle (esp for a guy we will ask to play the 4), above average athlete. No real elite trait right now.
Lmao Bill really just going to roll the ball out with Juan and 4 athletes next year and dare you to beat him.
Regarding Marcus Adams, he's really going to fit in that 3rd wing/Rebounder/break starter role that Jalen has played the last two years. Love that he has some bounce. His stroke looks high and quick. I do think he's lacks lateral agility. He's going to struggle to create his own shot at this level, but luckily he will get to play with Juan and KJ who will do a lot of hard work for him. Question for him will be can he defend at this level as a freshman. Long-term, he basically is a lock to be a stud.
The thing they are really missing next year is just a guy who has proven he can shoot at this level. Low key think Zeke Mayo fits perfectly now if they can actually get him...
PG: Harris-33/Elmark - 5/Bobby - 2
Wing 1: Elmarko - 25/Johnson - 10/Yesufu - 5
- Wing 2: Mayo - 25/Johnson - 15
- Wing 3: Rice-25/MAdams - 15
- Post: KAdams-25/Udeh-15
Bill needs to put the full court press on to keep Rice, imo. Hope that relationship isn't beyond repair. I really think if you can get some steady scoring from Mayo and Rice the freshman will collectively provide you with the rest of what you need.
On paper, this is a stellar roster. They obviously lack experience, but it helps having Juan. You could theoretically still be starting a Senior, two juniors, and a Sophomore. Not "young" necessarily. But not "old." Providing you get Mayo and keep Rice. Both things I would consider up in the air.
I do think this sort of puts us in a box with KJ and Udeh. Not sure there is going to be a better option on the market in the post than those two next season.
Good stuff tbh.
According to UCLA posters off their boards -they are saying that Adams was saying he is a ONE & DONE - -I don't think he is that god - but some kids have it in their heads that's EXACTLY wha they are going to do no matter what. - -We will see
@BShark said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@Crimsonorblue22 I would not want him, just mentioning it. Sounds like he won't play again for TCU this year either.
That's not a good look. Something is up there for sure. Folks don't sound happy at all - side note this hurts TCU for sur mainly possibly because he was a big boy - -energy maybe no elite scorer but could mix it up and get some - -sad to see. - -Something in TExas - - TExas - - Texas Tech - & this at TCU mercy
@FarmerJayhawk said in AFH Renovations (Minor):
Just a little modernization and room for donors to schmooze. Only thing most of us will notice is new lights and scoreboard.
Glad they're updating Wagnon. It could use a little TLC. https://kuathletics.com/historic-allen-fieldhouse-to-undergo-transformational-renovations/ ↗
New Scoreboard will be nice
@BShark said in 2024 recruiting thread:
@BeddieKU23 the plan from both sides is 23. Whether he can get that to happen seems to be somewhat up in the air. Important to note 23 is his natural class so he wouldn't be coming in super young like most reclasses.
His brother is also an absolute STUD, will end up a 5* imo.
It's nice to see us going into Cali again. We are in a GREAT spot with Vyctorius Miller as well.
Sounds great BShark , hope he can get into 223. I realize one article I read said Adams in some cases hadn't played the stiffest comp - , BUT still read where he cored 50 points and 20 rebounds in one game. I don't care who your playing that's a night. - Also read about his brother think he is 6'6 guard - Alexo ? - nice to have an in road possibly on that too.
Again like you mentioned p pwe are in a really good spot with Miller also love it.- Thing is if Adams re-classifies how tht sit us up with Scholi's ? - would Miller be 23/24 ? - -I think he is 24 right ?
@Jethro said in Other games:
Ok, watched some Zags/St Marys. Came away not impressed with either. Get a definite mid-major vibe here. On the other hand, ORU is a pretty good team. Love the way they defend, and attack on offense. Pretty good athleticism, and they have a 7+ footer. Definite potential bracket buster. Paul Mills is on the rise.
Watch out for Marquette - wouldn't necessarily want to see them for at least awhile
So if Marcus decides to come in 20232 then , he joins El Marko - - Johnson - - McDowell - - - Right ? - -Man what a class that would be
SOB - -we got him - -can't beleive it - -hell ya. - -NOW got to hold onto him. You know UCLA won't let up
@BShark said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Things change sometimes. Recruiting is wild.
Boy I hope he could flip and coommit to us - -find out soon enough I guess
Ol Tristan going off for Cleveland State. - -Has 17 points, hit a three would of given him twenty. - -They said he didn't get it off in time , they were right.
They made a comment saying that they believe that Tristan could make history if Cleveland State wins and makes the NCAA Tourney. - Tristan would be the 1st player in the NCAA - to go to three consecutive NCAA tourney games in three straight years with Three different Teams. - Said they had been digging and had confirmed with the NCAA -- -crazy good for him

Kurtis Townsend
I'm -sooooooo confused lol - - you think he is UCLA right? - hell who knows - -would be a great Christmas present
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Indeed.
well keep our fingers crossed. -- Little luck maybe we get him. - -I'm seeing his announcement is at like 8:30 but no mention if he i announcing on any thing like Instagram or anything
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruiting thread:
@jayballer67 soooo we might have gotten him
whaaaa ? - you think we might have a chance after all - -I thought he was a lock for UCLA ?

@jayballer67 It's tomorrow, 247 just didn't have the right time set.
Oh Ok was wondering - thought that would be really weird.
Really weird I was just on 247 - -looking at Player rankings , came across Adams - WTH -- the dam thing said he was announcing in like 2 hours and 53 minutes on his commitment watch -I thought he was announcing on the 7th & why would he be announcing so late tonight ? - Well 2nd thought with him being on the West coast they are 2 hours behind us so it would make that an 8 :00 announcement something weird about that
@cragarhawk said in Who would ever replace Self?:
@Kcmatt7 you put alot into that. Idk If I know too many of them. But Nice work. I don't think atm I'm interested in Otz or Hoiberg.
Trying to be overly optimistic that Self hangs out way longer than he has said he wants to coach
ya , he has said he doesn't want to Coach for that long period
