Yikes, we're really finding and posting clips of a guy who said no to us having fun on the 4th and then continuing to post bitter comments towards him when he picked KU in April? Trust me, he's not reading your comments and doesn't care that you, an older man, wants him to fail lmao.

Man, the Rafters reputation never ceases. Unfortunately.

nights bf don't insult him.
You got me, buddy. If someone doesn't scour the internet for a July video of a player who said no to us in April and then posts bitter comments about that player, why, that person must be gay. LMAO.

You guys are adults, correct? Then why are you acting like this player's crazy ex he said no to back in the spring?

There is nothing wrong with watching that clip and saying Stokes probably isn’t that bright. From the wife beaters, to smoking the stoggies to holding explosive fireworks in you hands. It screams stupid kid.
I didn’t see Cooper Flagg, Rob Dillingham or Reed Sheppard on TickTock hanging with the boys doing stupid ****. I also didn’t see them choose Kansas. Their last 3 high profile recruits have all been knuckleheads. He chose Kansas probably because they ALLOW their stars to run the program. That simple clip reeks of I’m gonna do WTF I wanna do.

And you are an adult as well right? Why post in a thread that doesn't interest you? Is it maybe because you are an attention seeker? Just leave the thread alone if it isn't your cup of tea. It's a sports message board, people are going to talk about athletes, especially one as controversial and heavily recruited as Stokes. If you can't handle that, message boards aren't for you.

This and his commitment video still scream cringe to me, he could be great sure but there is also that chance he would cause more harm than good to a team.

And to the guy complaining we are posting bitter comments, Jesus it is the internet in 2026 and everyone has social media. It is not hard to find this stuff, I unfollowed Stokes on every social and it still came across my feed. What else we discussing? A lady rowing to Hawaii? (which was impressive btw).

To be fair it's just a video of stupid people with fireworks. Everyone who "plays" with fireworks is stupid.

So, you're going to care for him?
That's not peculiar?

It's not about being an adult or not. It's about a guy who disrespected our program and f'd us by pretending for months he was coming to our program when it was a lie (and he knew it). Then instead he goes to our rival. So I hope nothing but bad for him because of that game he played on us.

All he did was choose another team. Pope and his staff stayed on him because they felt they had a shot. Being an adult means not taking the choice of someone else so personally that you're obsessing over what he's doing in his spare time months later. That's crazy ex type behavior. I worry for some of you if you're still this bothered by a decision from April. We have our team and it should be a pretty good one. I hope we beat KU in Nov but if you're worrying about what Stokes was up to on the 4th of July, get a grip on reality lol.

I’m very happy Stokes went elsewhere because our current team is deeper & more competitive than it would have been with him .

If you dislike the tone so much here, why do you keep posting; aside from the obvious fun you have posting sanctimonious messages where you act morally superior to the rest of us and all.

As for that "reputation", there is no reputation. You completely fabricated it.

I mean, its becoming impossible to ignore the fact that Kansas just attracts head cases. It seems every year they have one. Beating women, robberies, thug behavior. It cant just be a coincidence any more.

I wouldn't say Stokes fits that bill (not yet at least). But it will be interesting to watch. Kansas has no regard for integrity of morals when it comes to recruiting.

Yikes. Look guys, if some of you want to spend your summer watching clips of Stokes having fun on his personal time and then use that as ammo to wish him the absolute worst in life, have at it lol. I think it's weird for adults to act that way as if they can't let a recruit go but hey, I apologize for putting it out there that we've got our team and he chose Kansas back in April so it's, let's say, unusual to focus on him, months later, shooting some fireworks off on the 4th. The fact that some here take my view on the subject so personally is odd to say the least. Can't wait to see what Stokes is up to on Halloween though. I'm sure one of our angry board sleuths will post the costume he's wearing.

I will say I seen this video scrolling on Facebook and the guy was making a big deal about Stokes shooting fireworks. I was just kind of like....fireworks on the fourth of July... pretty normal
