Re: MVP
Especially a kid who almost quit basketball multiple times, including when Tarik Black dunked on him so hard that he went to Self to leave during his season here at Kansas.
Plus, it's even more of a case to put his name and number in the rafters.

Re: MVP
I think it would be cool to honor him somehow in Allen fieldhouse. If he came back for a game on all star break.
But his jersey does NOT belong in the rafters. Let Philly do that. Pdub 1000% right

Re: MVP
Well, in a roundabout way, I believe this nearly 100% assures that his name WILL be in the rafters. But in 15 years or so.pdub wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 12:37 pmAFH's rafters?NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 12:23 pm Plus, it's even more of a case to put his name and number in the rafters.
Because if so, miss me times one billion with that.
6'ers rafters?
Hell ya.

Re: MVP
Embiid played one season at ku. averaged 11 pts and 8 rebounds
The team went 25-10 and lost in the 2nd round if the ncaa tourney
What about that says hang his jersey

Re: MVP
Rafters is more of a recruiting tool than a accomplishments tool IMO.

Re: MVP
Correct. But still. Just keeping his famous put back dunk in the pregame intro video would accomplish the same thingNewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 1:07 pm Rafters is more of a recruiting tool than a accomplishments tool IMO.

Re: MVP
perhaps the AD/University should consider an update to the Phog complex, which explicitly highlights successes outside of the college game (players and coaches)…be it Olympic, NBA or otherwise?
i actually think, if done right, it could be really cool and highlight the global impact of KU basketball

Re: MVP
I think there is that already. There are ALSO banners listing names of Naismith Hall of Famers (of which Embiid will now almost certainly be) and Olympians (has Wiggs already been? if not, he may well be).
Re: MVP
That's fine, but now you're getting into the business of saying that banners that have been there for decades should be moved out. I think Naismith HOF and Olympics banners, with lists of names, are perfectly acceptable places for Jayhawks (who do cool shit after KU) to be honored. Without diluting the individual (Jayhawk) honor of making the South rafters.

Re: MVP
is it in the “new” addition with the Rules?
i’ve only had a single opportunity to explore it in person and in detail, and don’t recall much aside from the Rules
