The Schedule:

https://kuathletics.com/sports/mbball/schedule/

we've got one date on the schedule, and I was tired of that old news thread coming back up.

That link to the schedule is last year's schedule.

I wish KU basketball could bridge the gap between the NFL season. Instead we have Finger McBang and the gang over at the K to keep us entertained. :(

This is the time when 810 is unlistenable.


Like, the NFL and NBA drafts are coming up. The NBA playoffs are starting. OBJ signed a ridiculous contract today. The transfer portal is heating up.


And all I hear every time I tune is baseball bullshit. If the Royals suck why do you have to talk about them constantly, even in Chiefs segments? JFC shut the **** up about baseball.

Sports commentators can't help themselves, baseball is just a sports nerd sport with all the stats and math. Endless entertainment...for them.

Not for us.

I'm just doing my part to get "woman has sex with dog" off the front page.

"Hi Friends, Jeff Briggs, Olathe Dodge Chrysler Jeep at 119th and I-35. Listen, I've got too much inventory and I'll do ANYTHING.... I mean ANYTHING to sell you a new car. We're dealing. Come take advantage of me. Think I'm kidding? Come see me on the showroom floor, I'll walk you into my office, and you can jam a stapler up my ass. Seriously. Up to the third knuckle if you like. This weekend it's our tent sale. I'll be on the roof of the dealership with a basket full of adorable golden lab puppies. And if we don't sell 100 pre-owned cars by Sunday at 6PM, I'll kill each and every one of these puppies. Still not enough? Come test drive a Dodge Challenger and my wife Wanda will give you a handie, absolutely free. One handie per customer please. And your trade has never been worth more. Hell, buy a new Jeep Grand Cherokee, and we'll accept your children in trade. We sell them into slavery in the third world. I don't care what you have to do to get here, just get here... I'm Jeff Briggs, and DAMN IT, GET OUT HERE AND BUY A CAR, AND BUY IT TODAY!!!!!!"

It will update itself once released, and same with the roster.

Spot on!

I'm not subscribing to the star to find out, but they are pimping a kstate/ku alumni game in kc in June

Party pooper.

LMAO

To each their own. 610 talks about Chiefs 89% of the time, Royals 5%, pop culture 5%, 1% college sports and thats only during March Madness or during bowl season. I just get sick of hearing Chiefs alllll the time.

We sign that POS Dickinson yet?

610 is great for talking chiefs nonstop. Only winners deserve airtime

**** listening to 810. Every show sucks dick

Petro is obese

Not me. That's why I follow a reputable organization like the Jays.

Anything from Canada is gay af though

Now I know where all that blind homer optimism for the Hawks comes from.

In!

It's not even a real country. Lets just annex them and make Minnesota called South Minnesota and name Canada "North Minnesota".

Including James Naismith? Wouldn’t even have this thread without him.

Andrew Wiggins is Canadian too

Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU

We sign this POS yet?

I heard that KU's pushing all their chips in on Dickinson.

Remember when that ratarded country banned Blue Jays from playing in Toronto and made them play 1.5 years in Buffalo?

ROFL

Why dont fans start a Go Fund me that the player gets upon completion of the season to try to nab transfers or OADs? Not against NIL is it? I would contribute $300 to try to sign this piece of shit.

Good question.

I assume you could set it up to refund everyone’s money minus like a processing fee if he signed elsewhere.

Yep my thinking as well

Those are okay but everything else sucks.

Well, except for Rush.


And James LaBrie.

Colorado back to the big 12? Anyone else seeing this?

Sounds like Dickinson might be torn between KU and Maryland. He’s thinking about going back home, and I heard that they hired his HS coach and one of his best friends is on the team. Might be a lot to overcome, but the insiders think KU has a solid shot.

Dollar signs

Lets go

Somebody just get him some more money.

It never made sense that they left in the first place. I'd love to have them back.

Why would he leave Michigan to go to Maryland. He has a much better shot at going pro by coming to KU. With that said can never account for the emotional aspect of it all though.

Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado are likely Big 12 bound sooner or later. And if the Big Ten offers Oregon or Washington it will happen immediately.

You can't make an NIL deal contingent on the school. Of course I'm sure there are back room deals that go down, but if a kid signs an NIL then leaves town 5 days later you don't get the money back. In this case, you'd have to set up the go fund me as a Hunter NIL pot that he could just take and never come to KU. There are no refunds because he never played here or didn't finish the season.

Why would any doofus give $ to NIL? Kansas basketball is 2nd on the Forbes list of most valuable programs, $325m. They generate something $50M in annual revenue and have essentially zero facility costs. Rich donors everywhere


Onky a sap would pitch in

I’m not saying Iowa State is winning the Big12, Kansas is always the favorite for obvious reasons. I think we coouuulld finish it in the conversation, but man it would be disappointing to not at least be top 5 in the Big12 next year. Best recruiting class in school history coming in, a few good pieces returning, landed our top two transfer targets already with the third visiting and sounds like he’s expected to commit.

It’s going to be wild with Houston in the mix now. I feel like BYU and Cincinnati are historically decent, don’t know shit about UCF. It’s going to be different not playing home and away with everyone. Still have Texas and Oklahoma for the year as well.

So best recruiting class in school history and top 5 in the big 12 is the hope?

Lol pathetic

wrong thread.

He's trying to sound level-headed. He probably thinks they're winning the league and final four bound.

Of course, we know they're all playing for second.

Are you at all worried that the Big 12 and Pac 12 will combine to make a new conference and leave out the dead weight like Iowa State and UCF?

Look forward to your take on this.

Yeah that’s not going to happen lol. If anything the Big12 just adds a few PAC schools. The current rumor is the Big12 is adding Arizona and Colorado.

Trying not to read too much into this…

Didn’t listen…summary?

Hunter Dickinson loves Dajuan Harris’s game. Over the top complimentary of Dajuan.

Mutual interest between Kansas and Jaylon Tyson from Texas Tech.

6’7”, 10 points, 6 rebounds, and shot 40% from 3.

If you take out one rough stretch in the middle of conference play, he would’ve shot 50% from 3 on the year.

Seems like a natural fit.

Would be a huge get. We need 2 shooters.

Tyson, Timberlake, and Dickinson.

That would make us Number 1.

Exactly, he's a ToJay fan

I'd prefer Dickinson, Ingram and Tyson.

Timberlake's pretty one-dimensional. I think he's headed to UConn anyway.

Well UConn is a blue blood. 5 Nattys.

This was the problem in creating a new thread.

When are you guys starting the 24/25 thread? Next month?

You gonna have a fit again after you get banned from that one too?

Perhaps.


Oh hell Ricky, I was high when I said that.

Preemptively ban him, please.

Douchebag troll is douchebag troll.

He's pretty hilarious. A fan of an irrelevant program coming to talk shit on one of the top 5 programs of all time.

When does Wichita State get rid of the basketball program too?

Just put the turd on ignore. It isn't like it adds anything in any discussion football or otherwise.

Right, so I won't lie, I miss Braun's energy.

This was interesting to me for a couple reasons.

1. Braun is getting minutes in a playoff game. He's probably already exceeded my expectations. Good for him.

2. Dude is rent free in Anderson's head. LOL. Dude got absolutely punked by a short white scrub.

3. I was worried about his athleticism but he looked like he was moving pretty well. I may have to hit a Denver game sometime if he gets minutes next year.

Nick Timberlake committed

Thank the Lord they secured a proven shooter.

Kinda preferred Tyson, but there might be room for both.

Definitely room for both. Or Timberlake plus McCullar back.

I’m all for both plus Dickinson.

Let’s roll.

Towson?!?! A Towson-level player could never do anything at a place like KU.

Same with App State!

I think they have a good shot to land Ingram though. It might come down to choosing between him and Tyson.

Or maybe we'll see Cuffe enter the portal.

Great get. Much needed 3point shooting. The kid is also like 24 years old. Vet.

Why, they just hired a former jayhawk as head coach?

So cancel the men's team.
