He's no Greg Ostertag

That would be awesome, but I've seen Jackson mocked as high as #5 (seems crazy to me, but who knows). I wouldn't be surprised to see Morris go to the draft either.

I wonder if this signing means that Dickinson is 100% gone after this year, or if Bidunga could co-exist with him?

Well, yeah, OK, BTA, neither is he a Greg Drieling either!

Or Paul Mokeski ?


Damn, I got nothing, nothing I tell ya!

Considering KU is still recruiting two other centers including a 7 footer I think Hunter is probably gone

What about Clemence? Why did he come back?

I dunno but he's been killing it in practice apparently even though he's redshirting

Greg Gurley said that Zach Clemence scored 59 combined points in two scrimmages before the team left for Puerto Rico

No matter how well he shows in practice this year or next, he is not starting over the #4 rated player in college BB.

Reports of Clemence playing great or tearing it up in the summer, only for him to suck badly during the season, is literally the story of his entire Kansas career.

I am honestly shocked that Self brought him back. I usually love all KU players, but he is one of the players that just doesn't belong at a Blue Blood, and every time he is on the court when it matters, he can't get out of the game fast enough for me.

And when he is on the court, against a competitive opponent, he looks lost, on both offense and defense. I wonder if Self had made a commitment to Clemence's parents, and his sense of honor is why he let Clemence back on the team. Because, other than something like that, Clemence coming back is one of the most inexplicable and confusing roster moves Self has ever made.

KU vs Illinois was going to be a hidden scrimmage but it's now going to be televised on the B1G Network with proceeds going to charity. It's on at 5 pm on the same day the Chiefs play at Denver.

Okay? Not at all what I said though.

I wasn’t saying you did.

Sure the kid is a baller but Eric Pauley would have looked like Durant against that competition.

I think this is Self adjusting to the new college way. To start, I don’t love clemence or think he’s going to be amazing or anything. But for KU and other teams like us in the new NIL landscape, he’s absolutely a guy you want on our roster for 4-5 years. I absolutely think he can be a decent backup 5 in a year or two, which is what we need. A guy who isn’t going to demand huge minutes or transfer out when he isn’t starting. We saw this year that we can’t expect guys to wait their turn, even if they aren’t really good enough to start right now. The days of a David McCormack sitting in the wings after being an all American for 3 years isn’t happening anymore. If anyone else watched the games in Puerto Rico, Braun looked awful. I’m actually surprised clemence is red shirting because Braun is so bad and I think he could beat him out. But these situations are going to happen to us when we go out and land proven talented players. You aren’t going to be able to find many guys who will sit behind them and just enjoy being a role player, so you get stuck with the Braun’s of the world. If clemence was really OK with coming back and being a steady role player then you take him. The grass is not always going to be greener in NIL land.

Re: Braun, he was definitely pressing and looked to be a little overwhelmed with thinking about things too much instead of playing naturally. Several turnovers where the ball would go through his hands on passes you expect him to grab. When you are thinking too hard those things occur more. Much like what we saw with Clemence, previously. That will come with experience in the system as the year progresses. As he settles in and he's more comfortable with the understanding of system, spots, movement, spacing etc... he will look a lot better. The kid is wildly athletic for someone his size. Be patient with him, he'll be a pleasant surprise as a role player i believe.

A look at what penalties KU could face

De Sousa was cleared by the Clearinghouse TWICE including after they knew everything about his situation. KU would sue.

You got off easy ROFL money makes alot of shit go away

The whole thing is BS.

Hell, we never even played Preston. Why in hell would that even be an allegation?

Ok

You know how to tell when someone is clueless?

Rando school cheats: :$2500:

Kansas cheats: NCAA creates NIL to make cheating legal.

Might be a little premature. I think there's a decent chance they'll have to forfeit games and a Final Four appearance.

As long as they don't get a postseason ban of any kind going forward, I can't say I give much of a shit. There's nothing dumber than vacating wins as a punishment.

Yeah, unless they plan on Men-In-Black flashy-thingying me... meh. It happened.

Exactly.

Vacating wins just means we get to pass UK again and enjoy Ramnorix’s misery all over again.

Vacating a Final Four means literally nothing. Everyone knows we went. We’ll all still count it. So what if a piece of fabric isn’t hanging at Allen?

It would be effing hilarious to watch the meltdown by Kentucky fans if KU passed them again. If the wins are stripped, where would that put them…5 behind?

I think that’s right.

We have Self. It will ****ing happen too.

This is the part that annoys me.

and ongoing streak of 33 straight NCAA Tournament appearances

Does anyone think if De Sousa was ineligible that we miss the tournament? How does this make sense? THey don't turn those wins into losses, just take away the wins. The NCAA is the most ass backward governing body on EARTH.

Not sure how they say "hey, you guys didn't make the tourney that year except everyone remembers you making the tourney that year."

20+ years from now, no one will care why. They will only see the list of active streaks on TV etc... I'd like for that to stay in tact so when i'm 70+ i can still see it going.

It's the small things in life. Don't take that from me, NCAA.

True, a streak like that would be mildly annoying to lose... hopefully they'd have a * for any graphics, especially when they got back to 20+ years, so people would always say "it's worth noting, it's technically 53..." and point out the clown show every year (that's one callback I could live with).

‘89 was a probation year as well, correct?

So that’s really 2 asterisks on the record. The streak of fielding a competent team is really incredible.

so basically the NCAA is saying those games don't count because a player benefited from his NIL but also if it happened today it'd be totally cool to benefit from his NIL

do i have the gist of this right

when i worked at yello sub there was a letter in the back from the ncaa saying we couldn't give a player a free sandwich becuase that might be considered an impermissible benefit

lol

That guy is incredible. He’d be awesome to get.

Man, if we could’ve had Dick and Flagg on the same team…an announcer would’ve gotten fired for sure.

nice to be included but I can tell that kid is going to Duke based on his face.

Dude is 1000% Duke, I don't even know why we're wasting time on him.

I mean....this is exactly what everybody was saying about the recruit Self just landed.

Racist

I imagine it all depends on the money.

I think playing for Coach K, and playing for Not Coach K, is going to hurt Duke, especially after they have to fire Not Coach K and hire Not Not Coach K But Also Not Coach K.

There is no Roy Williams hanging out at another Blue Blood waiting to come save Duke.

So, it used to be get coached by Coach K and Duke, vs get coached by Bill Self and Kansas, which is basically the same, but Duke is on the coast.

But, now it's get coached by Bill Self and Kansas, or get coached by the next ex-Duke coach and Duke. That's not the same.

You couldn't find a few more places to put a comma? LMAO

That homo must need to play at a school close enough to home that he can suck momma's titty at practice or something.

That fatass is a loser

Holy shit. Too soft for Gonzaga? Maybe try China kid.

I think we dodged a bullet

Dude could be a force if he had the right attitude and commitment.

He should go play for Missouri State. He can just phone it in and everyone will love him.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...ces-25-seasons

Pretty fun read here. T Rob made the list for the comeback over Missouri.

I thought Collison’s game against Texas (Dicky V standing ovation) would’ve made it.

Elijah Johnson going crazy against Iowa State probably deserved it over TRob imo. The Missouri game was more of a two man effort. Tyshawn was also terrific.

I dunno. I think the game where Tyler Self scored two points was the most amazing performance Ive ever seen.

This guy. LMAO

Pot calling the kettle black moment.:LOL:

Heeeerre's :deevee: Johnny!

FYP

HAHAHAHAH

How have I never seen this glorious piece of media before? LMAO

Arterio wtf

Was he suppose to be the bestest ever?

yeah I read that early this morning.

Not good.........reeks of the SDSU punt god on the surface (with 2 other players there/witnesses)

This stuff keeps on happening to Arterio. Where there is smoke there is fire. Im willing to let the legal proceedings play out but in all likelihood Arterio is a piece of shit.

Money will make it go away (just like other investgations)

What a ****ing idiot. Looks horrible on the program too that they brought this kind of piece of shit in and gave him a second chance.

Just get rid of him now and make it an example. No tolerance for repeatedly finding yourself in these situations.

No matter what happens in the investigation, it's a bad look and they'll probably have to cut ties.

This blows. He was probably the player I was most excited for.

He sounds like the definition of having a million dollar body and a ten cent head

In Durphy Johnny Crocodile we trust

Absolutely. Kid couldn't even make it a month on campus without an incident. Time to give him the boot.

At the very best, he exercised very poor judgement by putting himself in an iffy situation, at worst, he deserves to rot in jail.

KU is talented enough that he’s a luxury, not a necessity.

He isn’t worth the trouble.

Harris, Elmarko, Furphy, McCullar, Timberlake, and McDowell are plenty good enough to take home a title.

I don’t care if he was the difference between winning a title and missing the tournament. **** him.

I agree.

I’m just saying even from a basketball perspective he isn’t worth it.

This guy must be a real dumb piece of shit eh?

Can't pretend I really followed much about him when he transferred here but two strikes is one more than he prolly deserved.

The next serial penitentiary prison rapist

I believe the full season schedule drops tomorrow

Just got an email from Mike Vernon

KU Gets Commit from 2024 PG ��
Labaron Philon has committed to Kansas.

The Jayhawks officially landed the 6’4” point guard out of Branson, Missouri, on Monday evening. Philon is ranked No. 27 nationally by 247Sports and the No. 3 PG in the country.

KU’s 2024 class is shaping up to be a legitimate all-timer for Bill Self. They already landed a commitment from 5-star Flory Bidunga and are all-in on the No. 1 player in the country Cooper Flagg (more updates to come there).

One source compared Philon to a taller, more athletic Dajuan Harris. The source said Philon’s competitiveness and feel for the game reminds them of Harris.

And if you don’t believe the source, just look at what Philon posted on his Instagram.

“You guys got a dawg coming to Lawrence.”

Bill is crushing it lately.

If we somehow land Flagg, next year could be an undefeated national champ.
