Big 12 Basketball 2026-27

back to big 12 topics

Ohio denied the TRO for its 5th years players… That includes cincys projected best player @justinhub2003

Cincy has a scrimmage with Ohio state next week … scrimmages arent official ncaa games, will be curious who is allowed to play

will be curious will they try to jump to a different case… or hope the case is solved before the season starts

Kansas
listened to an insider podcast … they are still deciding between TKR and Melvin… Self has hinted that he will be loyal to Melvin if he admant on coming back… but the podcast noted he is encouraging both players to look at other options and explore all possibilites

Kansas fans desperately want TKR … they dont want melvin… becuase most believe its a 1 or the other… Melvin would be another guard in a guard heavy team when they need a big
This has been further amplified with heavy rumors that semi- touted Freshmen Luke Barnett has been lighting it up from 3 in practice … who wasnt expected to play much this year (added context that kansas is a terrible 3pt shooting team, projected to be one again)


they think melvin eats into whatever minutes he can get

Careful someone may get triggered.

One thing I don’t need to do is argue any points. I know who to listen to when they talk and what my own eyes tell me and you believe what you do for understanding.

Not if they are double teaming you every time you get the ball…

Bless your heart :grinning: It is a total waste of your time going back and forth with the guy. Just curious, did you watch him at Lamar or HS or both. I have seen 3 practices but that is a limited sample size. He looks good banging with JoJo, Gillespie and Arafan. Physical and athletic! I really try NOT TO limit how I see a guy based on what he WAS at a previous school or what conference he played in but what Samp will do with him and how he will develop HERE.

Haha you’re right, I have to stop arguing. But I watched him end of senior year through this season. As a freshman he barely played, maybe 5-10 games. So he went from an unknown to a very strong player in one off season. That’s encouraging. The kid went from 0ppg to 12 and 9 in one season and he was in no way the center piece of the offense at Lamar. My comp for him has always been Justin Gorham, however, I think he will end up being better than him with a similar build and style.

Try not to put much stock into scrimmages but not much defense. Scoring 98 and losing to SMU. Good luck when you play the big boys.

Iowa State got WHOOPED by Northwestern in a scrimmage last year. I’ve had to learn they mean almost nothing.

Oh man. This means TKR to KU then, huh?

Results I agree with but giving up 100 points is what caught my attention.

Kansas does seem to recruit the divas.

This tweet and the fact that he was talking about going to three other schools makes me wonder whether this guy hasn’t been in school all semester?

College sports are becoming a joke.
