The “Mostly Things KU But Mostly Due To Hefty UK Support” Thread

I never knew Joe Dirt and Melissa McCarthy had a kid together.

What's a fair goal for KU this season.?

You all seem high on this roster.
Stop me if you've heard this before - but I worry about Kansas' interior D and bench scoring.

Fat Adams wouldn't even have been needed 20+ minutes, all guy had to do was be ready for 6+ minutes per to dance along the 3 on offense and not get beat downcourt in transition... which is exactly why he left.

3 bigs & 5 guards to go w/KMc

But I'm sure the fans feel lusty.

B12 champs, 1 seed and who knows

This is what we know about the roster

Hunter Dickson - is a monster, all american, 20 and 10 guy

KJ Adams - defensive monster, gets easy buckets, working on outside shot, bit of a unicorn , we from 1 ppg as a FR to 10 ppg as a SO

Kevin McCullar - one of the best defenders in the country, monster on the boards , can hit 32% from 3. Could be all league if he makes 35% +

Arterio Morris - Former #15 ranked player in the 2022 class. Played behind 3 seniors. Rumors is he is killing it in practice. May be the 2nd best player

Juan Harris - everyone knows, bucket getter, can hit 3's. Amazing passer and elite defender. Best pure PG in the country

Elmarko Jackson - 5 star mcds AA - word in practice is amazing. He is shooting up draft boards from undrafted to lottery with scouts at practices.

Nic Timberlake - athletic , here to shoot 3's. 18 ppg at towson

Zach Clemence - disappointing FR and SO seasons. Word at practice is he is a new player and breaking out.

Parker Braun - here for depth and the Braun name

Jamari McDowell - 3 star frosh, can shoot, will need time.

Never know, but I wouldn't expect McCullar's 3 pt % to climb much. His percentage has been pretty consistent for four seasons.

What have you been hearing about Clemence? The plan was to redshirt him. I wonder if that will change, especially now that they're back to 10 scholarship players.

If we don't get a grad transfer to Furphy stay in 2024 I dont expect Clemence to redshirt. Word is Braun isn't better than him.

I keep forgetting about the stable of decent walk-ons they have. Some of those guys are way more skilled and athletic than a typical walk-on. I don't think they're necessarily screwed if they don't add another piece, but I'm hoping they've got something in the works. Sounds like Furphy isn't happening.

I think they will nab 1 grad transfer . However, you're right. We have juco guys as walkons. Not your typically country club alumni kids.

The scoop going round is Croation Zvonimir Ivisic, a 7'3" big with skills is likely coming to UK for this season. Cason Wallace and Dilly are following him on social media. One of the UK Coaches just went overseas to watch him play.

 
Puerto rico games starting this week. Buddy Hield is playing from the sounds of it.

If all these guys show up, this could be a little humbling…

Though complete rosters have not been finalized for the KU opponents, the Bahamian National Team consists of NBA players Eric Gordon, Klay Thompson, Kai Jones, Buddy Hield, Deandre Ayton and former Kansas guard and 2022 NCAA National Champion Remy Martin.
 
KU should start more avatar bets with teams their playing this offseason.

Surely there's some sucker as everyone knows UK will be the only team to beat KU this OOC schedule.
This is for the official record

Last time we betted I won. I gave him a Calipari avatar.

He wore it.

It was a one-month bet but I let him out after two weeks and he took it.
Switched after two weeks.
So now we're doing it again.

Is that how you remember it @ExitFlagger

That was the year they were #1 and 10-0 before losing Azubuike and Vick and it fell apart.

This year you got the bet in before Kentucky added about 7 more players (which I told you would happen but accepted anyway).

No worries. Bill will still beat Cal’s ass. 😁

Also the Duke/ Mich St or the Championsions Classic. It's one thing to talk stuff but are you supposed to be taken seriously?

Up to you.
