Each additional post he makes is confirmation of an added degree of micro-ness, so this is becoming pretty epic IMO.

Really good? Best in the sport?

Indeed.

Word here in the UK jungle is "if" Oscar goes pro, Zuby wants to play for UK.

Zuby to St. John’s

Funny how these bench fodder dudes end up at crap programs. There’s a lesson here

Didn't St Johns just hire Pitino

Udeh is visiting Duke to be in the same position he left KU because. He also has visits with kstate and TCU lol

Best in the regular season. Then sucks. That’s it, that’s the post.

This chirp would work better if KU hadn't won a national championship last year and 2 over the last 4 years.

Didn't they just win a natty within the last couple of years.....?



Are you in the right thread?

How can you lead the nation in tourney wins this century while sucking?

Oh, you mean they’ve been so awesome and consistent in the regular season that being #1 in tourney wins just isn’t enough? That’s a nice compliment. Thanks!

I don't know why everyone doesn't already have micropeen on ignore.

Have we ****in signed Kaluma yet?

We just got Christian Braun's brother as a backup big. He's not good, but he played a ton of minutes for Santa Clara last year and he's a 5th year guy. Might be useable.

He should be fine as a 10 minute big to relieve Dickinson.

Just need another perimeter shooter and we’re good to go.

getting some extra ball in this summer

Who are they playing? The PR national team, I assume.

Will I be able to watch it on the televisor?

Isn't PR part of the US? How is this foreign travel?

I see no news on this, other than the email I got to buy a travel package. No news on the kuathletics site, and nothing coming up on a google search.

I like the city of San Juan






I know a boat you can get on

I found this:

https://www.usbahoops.com/san-juan-summer-clash/

Puerto Rico in August. Sounds wonderful!

It does sound great that this team of little experience playing together is going to get some stiffer competition this summer.

I think Braun was a pretty good get for what they needed. Sounds like the plan is to find another big wing (McCullar returning might even be a possibility) and then eat the last scholarship.

So do we want Caleb love again or no?

Hard pass

I'm flying to Denver tonight, could go see Braun tomorrow night...

No

He is awful

Why? He’s a great talent. Frankly he’s got a lotta EJ and Tyshawn in him

They were both terribly inefficient offensive players early on. Self made them D up, and he could get Caleb to do it too. I’d be all for it

His basketball IQ is horrific and he's probably the least efficient guard I've ever seen play college basketball. Want no part of him. I'm not convinced Self could coach him up in a way that would make him at all productive at this point in his career.

I see some EJ, not a ton, but I don't see much Taylor in there. Taylor was really REALLY ****ing effective. Love is a great slasher, but can't generate the power the EJ played with (sometimes), and can't run an offense like Taylor, nevermind that Taylor was a Ferrari. Love might be a Corvair. Fun to drive, but you might spin out and everybody ****ing dies.

Imagine this roster with McCullar back.

Saw that. He’d be a perfect fit and fill exactly what we need.

Starters:
Harris
Timberlake
McCullar
Adams
Dickinson

Bench:
Morris
Elmarko
Marcus Adams
Braun
Chris Johnson

McCullar back officially.

We’re winning it all.

That’s actually crazy he’s coming back. Could prolly make some money overseas but why not try and come back, get paid a bit, and try and carve out your own little piece of history.

Fantastic news....
D will be much better with KM back.

Glad we got that figured out. It never made much sense for him to leave. The defense is now much improved and he adds a degree of competitiveness and intensity that is pretty unmatched.

KU is the clear #1 now and it isn't close.

Cool! 😎

Mccullar is the best defender Ive ever seen at KU.

I’d say he’s the most versatile defender.

Withey is probably the best rim defender.

Chalmers was the best perimeter defender.

My only worry...do we have enough big guys?

Dickinson, Adams, and Braun can all play the 5.

McCullar and Marcus Adams can play the small ball 4.

That should be plenty.

We could even go super small and play 4 real guards (Timberlake at the 4) like we did in 2018.

We are so good at the basketball!

Any idea if KU has a good coach for all this talent?

Timberlake is going to get so many open 3s its going to be incredible. He won't even understand why he's so open compared to when he was at Towson.

Have you seen how he elevates on his shot?

He’s going to shoot over a lot of defenders closing out on him too.

Well played sir. One of my favorites.

IMO, this will be epic

:D unbelievable turnaround from life without Bill to the obvious best team in college BB led by the unquestioned best coach in college BB. Geeezzzz can we move up the start of the season?

I like KU (and Chiefs).

Hot take, but I’ll agree

Reminded me of our resident dipshit's predictions... she'll be right one day!

A lot of dumb KU takes on Twitter today. I’m seeing several posts about KU still needing this or that.

Even the 2015 UK team only played 7-8 guys by the end of the year.

Right now, our 10 is:

PG: Harris, Morris, Elmarko
SG: Timberlake, Chris Johnson
SF: McCullar, Marcus Adams
PF: KJ Adams
C: Dickson, Braun

I’d assume, Johnson and Braun see very limited time by the end of the season. The rest is a damn loaded 8 man rotation.

Except, I don't think she will be. Her takes are tremendously stupid, often with very little reasoning behind them.

Oh, that's about as loosely as I could call someone "right".... tell us every year Self has coached his last game at KU and one day it will be true.

I would guess she's actually a troll from a different team, but I think most would have said **** it, he ain't ever leaving by now. LMAO

That KU team is the best it has been since 2020 and might even be better.

Dotson/Doke vs Harris/Dickinson might be an interesting debate by the end of the year

People on the Slant seem to think there's still a chance Udeh comes back. Anyone else hear that?

I’d be shocked, but that would be great

well there you go

Could’ve just saved time and said “we have a better comp plan than the nba this year for Kevin”

"Insiders" are saying there's very little chance of that, but Grant Nelson talk is heating up. And that would be insane.

His skillset is literally everything we don't have right now. This is the final piece.

edit: but also I had heard this guy was a nope the second Dickinson signed. He's no 4, he'd be a backup 5

I’d be surprised if we added anyone else at this point. We’re probably done, unless we grab a developmental piece to take a chance on at the bottom of the roster.

I just don't see how Self can sell anybody else decent on playing time on a roster that stacked.

I mean, you know Harris, McCullar, and Dickinson are playing 30+ a game every game in non-blowouts. Playing time starts running out pretty quickly from there.

Again I dont want KJ starting if McCullar is the 3. I would prefer McCullar to play a small 4 and then KJ backup Dickinson. We simply do not have enough shooting if its Harris, Timberlake, McCullar, KJ, and Dickinson

It's actually the opposite, they will only add another player if it's a game-changer.

Shay is pretty connected and is conservative with these kinds of things which makes me think it's true

I'd say Nelson pushes someone else out of minutes rather that struggles to get them. He'd back up 5 or go huge and play the 4 with Dickinson


Braun would get the shit end of the stick I think

That’s where I’m at.

And like I said before, by the end of the year teams only play a max of like 8 guys anyway. There’s only so many minutes to go around.

If it happens with Nelson or Udeh, great. I’m completely satisfied with this rotation as is though.

I think the feeling was that there’s a good chance they’d pocket the last scholarship. But this stuff is really fluid. If they can land one of Nelson, Kaluma, Pullin or Udeh, I think they do it. If not, they’ll probably run with what they have.

Love this. His playing time might be the hardest hit today, but he isn’t phased.

Good lord. :rolleyes:

My vote is Releford.

He didn’t rack up steaks or blocks but his dudes just straight up didn’t get the ball. He was so ****ing good.
