@FarmerJayhawk gotta have both but the studs or horses gotta be the athletes

Look at Bama they would prove this wrong unless you count quinerly

@Texas-Hawk-10 so by that thought process Kevin should come back….

@FarmerJayhawk yeah my post is in reference to any talent whether via portal or high school

Mccullar was good I’d rather had Council and Kendric heck or any big that was halfway capable of catching a pass and making a post move (no offense to Ernest he just is a year away)

@rockchalkjayhawk Bill does same thing takes 2’s as long as you can and it’s stupid. Your banking on quick free 2, them maybe missing a free throw but if not your back down 3 same position with less time to get a shot

Like nfl and passing caught up via analytics eventually these idiot coaches and announcers will say shoot the 3 with 15 seconds left. You put yourself in a position where you flat out just need to hit a big shot otherwise 9/10 you will lose doing the quick 2, foul and hope they miss crap

@kjayhawks I literally said to my Dad we better rebound this he’s missing the second one….and KJ and Joe couldn’t get it done as Walsh’s 8 foot arms somehow made a play

That was the biggest play in my opinion. We rebound it and have ball down 1 with what 39 seconds….or less we were sitting pretty

@kjayhawks exactly that’s my point so get out and recruit those type of athletes

Bill changed to 4 out now needs to change who he recruits

Can’t remember who said it whether here or 247 but Self was watching some high schools studs and honed in on Tyus Jones and how he controls the game. Give me the best player and make him great not some solid guy who isn’t the best.

Juan was great today but man we lacked big shots from a remy like last year to save us during droughts. Juan hit biggest one to get us to 54 but missing free throws and boarding defensively is why we lost

@cragarhawk I’d assume they will make say $2-3m overseas versus say $150k-$300k here?

I may be off on numbers but I’d guess go make pro money now is more important

@Crimsonorblue22 read your mind huh

Bill with their talent (not this year) would have 3-5 titles heck he should have that here.

We should get the best players these next 4-7 years if Bill is here and yet Duke and uk and unc still load up…it’s pathetic

We’ve played them in champions classic and only once have we had the better athletes

@FarmerJayhawk I don’t want to be Kentucky with athletes and yet no skill there is a balance

We need long athletes. Cuffe is obviously bad, Joe isn’t 6-4 like Arkansas’ Davis

There is long and athletic plus quickness that all factor in

@wissox from @BShark and @FarmerJayhawk reading what they post 😄

@FarmerJayhawk that sucks than as hof’s job is to build the best roster not coddle kids who need to go to townsend

@FarmerJayhawk hopefully Bill does so he can have legit athletes

@FarmerJayhawk Bobby sucks - we need to push him out

@BShark is he a freak athlete? If no, than forget it

Is he long? If no, than forget it

@bskeet dude is an @$&hat

I don’t want him anywhere near our program

Classless

@rockchalkjayhawk Walsh is 6-7 with 7-2 arms - he d’ed him up well

Gradey didn’t step up

Juan, Kevin and KJ stepped up

@wissox nah only 1 team wins it all. Not gloating when we lose I’m a fan. Juan was good enough for us to win hit huge 3 to get us off 51.

We had a team good enough with matchups and hof coach

10 second call and 4 point run that ensued hurt

Rebound when ark guy missed free throw was huge

Bill would win that game. Hopefully it lights another fire and he dominates the portal and we dominate next year.

Self with Texas squad wins it all

@Bwag that’s not coaching - guys have said it all year he doesn’t move well without the ball and he can’t create off the dribble against better athletes

It’s been discussed all year on 247 and Bill has mentioned it. We run stuff for him

@cragarhawk said in Hog Wild Game Thread:

I definitely think Self has a better answer when they go on their run after we're up 11. Whether it be lineups, a defense change, etc

This I can agree with

Not sure what Norm called late but didn’t work -

Walsh held Wilson well second half

@cragarhawk said in Hog Wild Game Thread:

Jaun was great overall. Ya Gradeys scoring was a big factor(lack there of) idk why Norm pulls him immediately after he hits his first from outside

This was key Gradey was nowhere to be found

He attacked on boards well

@kjayhawks we throw it to a big at the elbow from underneath - teams scout that stuff so no

@jayballer67 said in Hog Wild Game Thread:

you hit the front end of your free throw - -we wouldn't be looking for reasons why we lost

Amen!

@cragarhawk he needs to come back dude can’t create his own shot without a pick

@BShark nah that’s just homerism

I watched live ou almost beat us in Allen and Bill gave up calling plays it was post Jalen and throw it to him hope for a foul

You can call plays all u want doesn’t mean guys execute

@mayjay need ksu to lose as well

@kjayhawks why was Joe in the game!!! Mj rice grabs that or anyone bigger

Put in Zuby or Ernest and have kj at 4. Get board and call timeout make subs it’s game point as Bill would say as we would have been down 1

@Kcmatt7 they knew all the inbounds plays - no lobs for this squad

Gradey was bad that’s why we lost today
Free throws as well

They were determined to stop Jalen and other guys like KJ, Kevin and Juan did step up which was nice to see

@FarmerJayhawk had one with the lob at start of game from Juan to Gradey…simple bounce pass is a layup

Bill can draw it up hopefully we’d execute but no guarantees

18-25 with 3 missed front ends of 1 and 1’s

@FarmerJayhawk Bill can’t force the guys to make free throws

@HawkChamp it’s idiot thought process that with 12 seconds you can still get a quick bucket

Basketball hasn’t caught up to intelligence yet

Your shoot the 3 the first time not Wilson drive left and goes for the 2 with 12 seconds

Idiots

Juan was okay but messed up on lob to Gradey, 10 second call ect had some great plays

Gradey was AWFUL

Juan layup and 10 second - come on kid step up

Kev manning up!

Gradey and Wilson close it out!!!

Free throws!

Most Valuable Player!!!

Free throws we’ve missed a ton and front ends

This is how you lose

Run offense! We look tired

Here comes the nightmare gosh dang it

@DCHawker give it to Kevin switch it up before half Norm

Bobby is like zac

Kev has flat out stepped up like he did last year in the tourney against Duke

Our O ran all sorts of sets to start and that last Switching D up was good

@jayballer67 he isn’t really a KU guy

@kjayhawks if we go in up 5 that will be a win

@jayballer67 we are in trouble and Wilson, Gradey and Kevin gotta go ham for us to win

Make free throws!!!

@wissox kendric davis who????? That idiot hasn’t meant Elite Tourney Juan!

Juan Paul - “state farm”

@Crimsonorblue22 he knows spacing, cutting everything Self loves!

Let’s go blow these guys out…can’t stand musselman

Juan Paul in the open court where he’s at his best!!!

Missing free throws come on guys

We are battling hard came out aggressive

Good juan so far gotta shoot it

@jayballer67 had the same thought this morning.

Only drawback is he has 2 titles and I’m sure would like to get it about 5. With Wright, K and Roy done and cal on a poor trajectory for once KU is the hot name for recruits.

If he can coach another 10 years he could rack up 2-3 titles if he has the best players for once.

He’s 60 though could easily see him at 65-67 being done

@Jethro Self’s out so his in game timeouts and substitutions won’t be identical to Norm’s.

I know I’m negative but not sure how people can’t see this one.

They look at Arkansas record yet they’ve had injuries and are now fully healthy. They have 4 nba guys and 2 probably in the top 10.
