I’m a huge Tyshawn fan. Many forget how damn good he was the second half of his senior year. He was the best guard in the Big 12 that year. No one could stop him from getting to the basket.

Great defender as well.

Taylor was coached by the legendary Bob Hurley before spending four years under legend Bill Self. No surprise that he played hard and developed into a great player.

As an upperclassman, Tyshawn had so much drive to be great. He willed that team to many wins.

The rumors going around are not great.

Showed up 20 pounds overweight, lost explosiveness, responded poorly to being coached hard, on and on.

Apparently they had a team meeting and he wasn't invited to it and the word "cancer" was thrown around. If all these rumors are true not sure where he ends up next but sounds like addition by subtraction on this one.

If all of that is true then we dodged a bullet.

He is going to Gonzaga. It will be interesting to see how he does there.

This guy talked a bit of crap about Kansas fans and then deleted it when everyone called him out.

One of the things said about him was that he called in sick to multiple practices to facetime his girlfriend back home.

While I myself had a long distance relationship freshman year that's a red flag.

He'll fit right in at Gonzaga, though. Light practices, subpar competition, early exit when you face a hard-nosed team.

[smithandrew051]

Given the rumors, perfectly fine with Adams leaving. He did look overweight as some of us speculated.

Any guy who leaves this early was never going to make it on a Self team anyway.

Micah Downs was a little bitch like that too.

I agree though. Gonzaga is soft. Finesse team.

[Kiimo]

Apparently he ripped Lawrence for being a small town.

And yeah, it is, and it definitely feels small when the students are gone in the summer.


But imagine being from a milquetoast shithole like Harbor City which is only known for not being as dangerous as other south central cities. It's boring as hell, what does he think he's from some kind of booming metropolis?

Hasta la bye bye

Dude might be the fastest player with the ball at the NCAA level.

He was ****ing incredible. That freethrow rebound and fastbreak in the Misery game was so ****ing fast. I won't lie, I was impressed with the Missouri guy for at least being close to the play.

Dude was fun.

Had such an ugly looking mid range jump shot but it usually went in by the time he was a senior. Probably would have been fringe first rounder had he left KU after his frosh year because you could see the oozing of potential.

�� Kansas to Face North Carolina in Home-and-Home Series
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Men’s basketball bluebloods Kansas and North Carolina will meet in a home-and-home series starting in the 2024-25 season, the two schools announced today.

The first meeting will be in historic Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, on Friday, Nov. 8, 2024. The following year the two teams will meet at The Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Friday, Nov. 14, 2025. In the 12-game series between the two schools that dates back to 1957 NCAA title game, this will be just the second meeting in Allen Fieldhouse and the first in the Dean Smith Center.

Kansas is the winningest program in college basketball history entering the 2023-24 season with 2,385 all-time victories. North Carolina is third on the list with 2,347 wins.

“These will be two great games from programs whose rich histories are intertwined so much,” Kansas head coach Bill Self said. “It will be a special day in both Chapel Hill and Lawrence when we play and I am looking forward to it.”

The KU-UNC series is tied at 6-6 and Kansas has won the last four matchups, all during the KU head coach Bill Self era and all in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas won the last meeting, 72-69, in the 2022 NCAA National Championship game on April 4, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The two teams have met seven times in the NCAA Tournament, including two NCAA titles games in 1957, a UNC triple overtime 54-53 win, and 2022. Kansas is 5-2 against North Carolina in NCAA Tournament contests.

Both schools have a rich history with much crossover, including:

UNC Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith is a Kansas graduate who was a member of KU’s 1952 NCAA National Championship team. Smith, who was from Emporia, Kansas, coached 36 seasons at UNC with two national titles and an 879-254 career record.
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams’ first head coaching stop was a Kansas from 1988-89 to 2002-03. While at KU, Williams was 418-101 with four Final Fours, nine league regular-season championships and four conference tournament titles. After Kansas, Williams coached 18 seasons at UNC, his alma mater, where he guided the Tar Heels to three NCAA titles and concluded with a 903-264 all-time record.
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown was head coach at Kansas for five seasons (1983-84 to 1987-88) and guided KU to the 1988 NCAA title. Brown played at UNC and recommended Williams for the KU job in 1988.
Kansas Director of Basketball Operations, Fred Quartlebaum, was an assistant coach for former KU assistant Matt Doherty at UNC from 2000-03.
UNC assistant coach Brad Frederick is the son of the late Bob Frederick. Bob Frederick played basketball at KU was the Kansas Athletics Director from 1987-2001.
UNC head coach Hubert Davis scored 25 points against Kansas in the 1991 NCAA Tournament national semifinals in Indianapolis. KU won the contest 79-73.

this makes me think we may see something different for the start of the 2024 season other than KU/ Duke/ Kentucky/ Michigan State.
