  @konkeyDong Here’s an ESPN article about Cliff dodging the question about potentially going elsewhere. I’d prefer to give the kid the benefit of the doubt and assume he doesn’t like to be pushed into making an absolute statement, because it’s always true that anything could happen between now and next Fall. What I do wonder though, is to how Self’s staff manages expectations of the recruits once they are signed. How much work does it involve, and how is that work divided up by the staff? Anyone have any insight into this?

  @Case I’m tipping my hat to you, Case, for posting this insightful article on Bleacher Report. I felt a little sorry for Perry last year and I’m happy to see him getting paid back with some recognition this year. It is a commentary on the state of OAD basketball that a sophomore is now considered a grizzled veteran. I’m a little saddened by that.

  I know everyone here thinks Embiid needs to see more minutes. I agree but I also agree that Self had Black come to KU for a reason. What would the rest of the team think of Self if he benched Black? All of these transfer worries everyone keeps pondering would probably start to happen. I think if Embiid stays for another year that would be good but if not Hunter did set a shot blocking record for most blocks from a freshman in a year. Recruiting is not over and with the ammount of tallent that will come in next year and the returning players I am sure Self can mannage to win another couple of games. He is pretty consistant dont ya know?

  Thanks for the link. It’s a good read, especially at the end, when Durant talks about all the opportunities these players receive even before college ball. Feeds into my earlier thoughts that the OADs of today are not really on the same level as just a few years ago because they go into turbo-development before college.

  @bskeet. Nice pics. They show that he not only got him on the arm (the announcers kept saying that he was strong enough to keep it straight) but also got him with the body. Not a hard foul but considering what they had been calling, this was an easy call for the refs…

  The 5 assists Embiid had proved huge. Agree with HEM on that, and also that the sample size is small regarding Black, Traylor, and Embiid. Let’s see what Self does with each’s mpg. And lets see what ea. player does with their mgp opportunities. Black is also learning Self’s plethora of duties, screens/picks, and positioning that Self REQUIRES of his bigs, including rebound hustle. BigBlack has the size, does he have the motor to use such size? He would be an absolute monster if he had TRob’s motor…I dont think we have seen Black play enough yet. Maybe he isnt nimble enough to avoid fouls, I dont know. I need to see more games to judge.
