Agree with all the observations being made here. I think the team just feels really weird because outside of some of the halves against Tennessee, UCONN and Kentucky I don't think they've really hit their stride much if at all. A lot of mediocre performances against mediocre competition. It does feel like if we get 5 3's you can probably chalk that game up as a win. I think the poor fit(lack of shooting in the HD/KJ front court and just a lack of shooting in general) leads to some of these slumps but HD has been producing great and so has KJ so it's been working. McCullar being the alpha of the team from a scoring perspective feels a little strange given that he's always been a glue guy but I've been pleasantly surprised at the confidence at which he's been isolating from midrange and attacking the rim.
KJ should be banned from touching the ball during foul time
way too long of a leash for Timberlake

Interesting note there, I missed that, thanks.
Him and Sanon will both be at the Indiana game so hopefully we put on a show
@BeddieKU23 said in 2025 Recruiting:
6 ranked Bryson Tiller, 6'9 PF out of Georgia is visiting KU this weekend for the game against Missouri. Sure picked a good one.
Next week he will visit Indiana when they host KU. So 2 visits to see KU in 2 weeks. Wonder if we are a serious player here
Bossi said he's a reclass candidate

Also I didn't realize that Jaylon Tyson was putting up over 20 a game after becoming eligible. We really hit the worst outcome possible in the portal
In the case of Tyson, he didn't want another hard ass head coach. We did try.
Fair. Also made me realize the actual worst outcome would've been McCullar leaving and having to start mgbako

UCONN up 8 at the half. Making the win look good, but gotta say Harrison Ingram looks like a pretty big transfer miss so far
Ugh he would’ve fit so great alongside Hunter
I did not predict this level of improvement as a shooter from him
UCONN up 8 at the half. Making the win look good, but gotta say Harrison Ingram looks like a pretty big transfer miss so far
Dajuan should've stat padded that layup to help out the net rating
Timberlake really can't do anything good
Parker braun got that rebound and then shot away from the basket
Great pass from KJ
Kentucky bringing in that new court with a loss
UCONN and Eastern Illinois basically the same
Never speak of this game again
@cragarhawk said in Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5:
I have to admit HD is not as fast I thought. Or isn't running fast enough. Watched him alot last year. Could be game speed difference between B1G and Big12?
If he had good foot speed he would probably be in the NBA
KJ is an embarrassment at the free throw line
HD putting up monster stat line after monster stat line
Didn't last year's team lose by 15 in Atlantis? They were fine eventually
Juan got pretty significantly outplayed by kolek tonight.
The lack of confidence of everyone outside of Mccullar Dickinson and dajuan is disturbing. Elmarko just refusing to attack the rim or clearly overthinking
Nick is killing this team
Really wish elmarko attacked the rim more
@bskeet said in What to Expect at the Champions Classic?:
Dejuan with the quietest most overshadowed 20 points ever
shouldn't be overshadowed...brought the team back from dead down 6
Can't believe we survived at the end with Timberlake on the floor
Don't know why dajuan took forever to get that ball to elmarko
KJ really is built like a NFL defensive end
No way mccullar can play any worse
What is this lineup man
@kuballin10 said in What to Expect at the Champions Classic?:
@rcjhdraft Furph or Jamari
I know Jamari is beyond raw but I'd rather see him at this point over Timberlake. Furph is a given
Also seems like half this team is afraid to shoot. Elmarko needs to pull the trigger
Bench Timberlake
This Kentucky team is small as hell why do we keep doubling
Think Elmarko shows up big tonight. Competing against a bunch of his peers that he's played against for a while
@BShark said in Tracking the Outgoing KU transfers:
I know some people won't care about this thread, but I like to track this stuff.
So far Bobby can't get off the bench for ECU.
Cuffe 3 points and 2 fouls at the half.
Most haven't played yet.
I still can't believe Cuffe landed at a P5
Already covered
Jason Bean football is not for you
I'm still speechless at that slide decision lmao. Galaxy brain from Bean getting a player kicked out
@nuleafjhawk said in Will weather be a factor tomorrow /predictions:
Ain't gonna beat OU with field goals
I don't think it's that crazy given what we just saw from Bean in the previous two plays
@kjayhawks said in Will weather be a factor tomorrow /predictions:
@rcjhdraft Yep had the right play call just 2 bad passes
Time management also awful
What a poorly managed sequence.
Atrocious play call
Flory and Passmore we're going to see lobs for days next season

Only so much you can do..swoosh/grew up a Duke fan might’ve been too much to go up against.
Gonna be annoying hearing duke fans jerk off about the "brotherhood"
Trilly saying Flagg canceled.
Hilariously awful game from bean. That one play where he could've just ran upward for the first down and pushed it to the side sticks with me
Makes me sick that JD has the back of a 60 year old man

Flory and Passmore both gotta be top 10 athletes in this class
Agree. Passmore has a 46'' vertical. He also had an insane dunk on Flory in AAU.
For anyone who hasn’t seen the Flory dunk..it’s the first one in the video below
That dude is super high on both of them. He comped Passmore to Benedict mathurin and he's talked about how flory is a Giannis level athlete.
