Let’s get things back to normal.

Disclaimer:

Any type of argumentative mentions of DH, KJA, or HD will result in a ban from the thread.

Perfectly fine to mention them if it’s relevant to the discussion.

Darryn Peterson SZN

Have no clue what to expect from this program anymore….bit I’m in!

Jalil Bethea from Miami is entering the portal.

KU recruited him last year. I’d assume we’re a team to watch.

I didn’t get much of a chance to watch him this year, but the stats are nothing special.

He's so nice....hadn't seen this one yet but we got a 1 v 2 matchup and it was impressive.

Big 12 gonna have both them both next year

I trust Darryn and Bill to deliver us from evil. I really do.

Darryn Peterson is better than Michael Jordan and LeBron James IMHO

Here's hoping next year is head & shoulders better than this last debacle!

Akright! Let's get this back to elite status...where we belong.

You gonna play the Jayhawks? You gonna lose!

RCJH.

In before this thread turns into insufferable Canadian diarrhea.


And like AIDS to Ebola, flies to shit, whisper the devil and the devil appears. Was fun while it lasted. Those three hours felt good.

The success of this season probably depends on convincing Flory to pass up the NBA to be a college star first and foremost, but I’m personally looking forward to watching shooting and spacing again on the floor for the first time since 2022. Time to become a modern basketball team again.

If Bill goes for Bethea and lands a starting point guard in the portal, the starting lineup could look really nice

Transfer PG
Peterson
Bethea (assuming a Malik Newman jump)
Tiller
Bidunga

Flory is sitting watching Peterson’s game right now in Lawrence. I’m confident if he returns they’ll be a good defensive team with him starting (he’ll be among the leaders in blocked shots in the country without question).

Just please recruit an offensive PG so that the offense around Peterson can be unlocked. There will be plenty available who fit that bill.
