  @drgnslayr I suspect body guards, lawyers, PR teams, and private detectives largely transcend that problem, same as they do for entertainers in film and TV, and famous politicians and CEOs.

  Self Kruger Hoiberg Huggins Smith Barnes Weber Johnson Ford Drew I actually think Weber is not that bad, but he needs to be able to recruit. I have a tough time with Smith, because I’m not sure what he has accomplished other than the NC (no small feat). Barnes’ teams seem to underperform too often. I don’t see what Johnson has accomplished. Drew-can only recruit.

  @HighEliteMajor I think we will too! I’m sure Self is still wondering what he’s going to do too.

  @JayHawkFanToo “In my opinion, Poythress is very overrated. He started 31 of 33 games as a freshman and 0 as a sophomore and his number dropped considerably. With the added competition, he might well end up as the odd man out. The fact that he is on his 3rd year at UK means that his NBA potential is limited and dropping.” I think he’s the weak link, and miscast as a 3. We should openly invite him to launch 3s, as his 24% from last year is what we’re looking for. BTW, a Kensucky fan who happens to be a friend thinks 40-0 is a real possibility, so I really, really hope we can rain on their parade.

  @JRyman I believe Coach Williams did great at KU and he has always been vocal saying how thankful he is for getting the opportunity and how respectful he is of the program. He even got in trouble with his own fan base for wearing a Jayhawk on his sweater at the NCAA. I don’t blame him for going back home; we all knew it was matter of time. However, I do think the way the left was questionable and for this I blame Kansas native and KU alumnus and former Assistant Coach Dean Smith; he really showed where his loyalty was…and it was not his home state of Kansas.

  Winning a national title comes down to developing a team that has “it.”

  @jaybate-1.0 Nice post, and I think your assessment of the league on specific players going in and out of vogue is right on. When Magic Johnson came around the focus really changed toward the big guards (and PGs). It seems like guards are put against a height chart of expectation. PGs should be at least 6’3" and shooting guards should be at least 6’6". Anything less and the decision makers have to defend the player and what potential that player brings. Taller players are given a little more space. Then you have combo guards like Hinrich. 6’4" and can play point or shooting guard. One thing that differs from NBA to college… in the pros, it is all about match-ups and teams look to exploit wherever they have a match-up advantage. To get to this level of ball, all players have to be able to take their man to the hole or be able to get his shot off pretty much wherever he is on the floor. It really is a game where height counts for more because of this reason. Kids in college aren’t that advanced. And a hot shot 6’ guard in college can make the difference and become a big part of taking home a NC easier than they can in the pros. Their height disadvantage is rarely compromised because all he has to do is get a hand in someone’s face to impact the shot. That isn’t always enough in the league. Still doesn’t mean a 6-footer can’t make it in the league. Tony Parker is 6’2" but actually plays much smaller. You’d think he is only 5’10" out there and it wouldn’t impact his game at all if he was that height. Not sure, but I don’t think he can dunk it. I wish there were more small guards out there in the L. We all miss out on watching a certain skill set because team management goes for height over guys that can really play the game but are a few inches shorter. I don’t always think height buys you championships.
