Let’s talk this Darryn Peterson fiasco

Nba needs to change the draft back to 18.

Kansas needs to let him go and let him prep for the draft.

You're hurting the guys currently on the team who have the expectation of him playing

I definitely think kids should be able to skip college and go direct to the pros if they want to.

MLB IMO has the best solution. You can be drafted direct from HS. If you go to college you are eligible after your junior year completion or when you reach 21.

He's free to leave at any time to go and do that.

If I were the coach on the opposing team, I would instruct my player to give him a hard foul and just get his ass out of there. Give him a reason to quick.

Nyggas need to be bullying this dude until he quits. You gotta bully these soft nyggas on the court.

People saying he isn't a competitor is false. Breh just really doesn't care to play college hoops, it's just that simple. NIL got these cats coming to college only to realize that they hate it.

Just allow nikkas to go straight to the league and you don't have to worry about this. Best thing he could at this point is just shut it down at Kansas and prep for the draft in May.

So why is he holding his team hostage with this nonsense. Or do you blame the team/coach

Both sides are culpable. Darryn wants NIL money and the team/school/coach decided it was worth whatever restrictions he has.

I think the problem is he makes up his restrictions as he goes.

Do we know that? They might have told Kansas he can check himself out whenever and Kansas agreed.

I'm guessing if they could do it over they don't do it. This also does seem to have been bad for DP's draft stock (I mean he doesn't fall past 2-3).

He’s not trying- yall had this same outrage over Flagg who also, was not trying.

Peterson has taken it to an entirely new level but it should have been clear he wasn’t taking college seriously when he committed to Kansas- this just tape for him. Plus I think he may on that Mike’s secret stuff because he’s shown all the symptoms but that’s slander and I won’t go further on that, either way this is overblown.

I’d take him #1 off talent alone, but you should absolutely be wary about his commitment to the game or if he’ll try to finesse a franchise for a bag then coast. Either way he’ll sleepwalk to 20 a game in the nba, Acuff is the better player right now but that height makes him too much of a liability- although I think it won’t effect him at all, my 1 and 2 for sure

How was Flagg not trying? What are you talking about? You must mean pros.

Ok, lets play this game. Of all the college players that have been to Kansas before under Bill Self, this kid is the 1st one that he gives that rope. Is that what you are saying?

Lets not do this. Self himself is showing that he isnt on board, but is doing his best to not say anything bad about Peterson. And I respect that. Peterson (either himself or with help) is deciding to make these decisions.

I’ve only seen him play once and it was the game against BYU. He had like 19 in the first half and they were blowing BYU out. Didn’t play in the second half though. Not gonna say he was ducking competition that game though since it was a blowout and he was playing better than AJ.

BYU came back that game tho and DP continued to sit

 

[Bledswole]

The thing about it is people keep saying take ___ over him…he’s been busting all these nikkas asses since his senior year. The tape is out there and the scouts have seen it. He’s at worst going 2

It's not about that tho.

It doesn’t work like that imo. People thought the same thing about Ben Simmons and look how that turned out. The same nonchalant, always looking for an off-ramp mentality at LSU was the same mentality he had the rest of his career.

Either you love to compete or you don’t. Dudes who love to play can’t turn it off.
