  BShark said: @HighEliteMajor I know I’m repeating myself here but… My favorite thing about the incoming recruiting class is zero handlers. Of course our top two post players are handler kids, but I wouldn’t mind seeing going away from it in the future. I also think it’s pretty fortunate we still have Silvio and Doke, but it is important to note that while high ranked neither was expected to be OAD. I think originally both were expected to be 2 years with the potential of staying longer. Obviously things worked out. I’d rather have Dot and Doke than any 5* presumed OAD that we might have instead. I think we are headed for 30+ wins this season. Well said. Unlike last season, I have a feeling about this team. Didn’t feel it last year.

  KUSTEVE said: @RockkChalkk Are we upset that Q is gone? My personal opinion is he wanted to get away from his angry coach. Frannie has a long history dating back to 2006 for complete melt downs. Last year, he chased down the refs, and cussed them out after a 20 point loss. https://heavy.com/sports/2019/03/fran-mccaffery-iowa-coach-suspension/ No doubt his son contracting cancer back in 2013/2014 caused their family a ton of stress and angst. That said, I think I can safely say that Fran McCaffery is the angriest, most emotionally out of control coach in college basketball. I’ll bet he’s a total pain in the ass to play for. The only time you hear about Iowa basketball is when he has one of his infamous emotional breakdowns. I don’t blame Moss a bit not wanting to be around that kind of energy all the time. Yes, you nailed it! We badger fans like to say he had a “frantrum”. He’s a fool and there’s a reason why Iowa hasn’t made the 2nd weekend since the last millenium.

  You always monitor and keep in touch with guys. Best case is you land a case like Joey Baker, a top 25 (I think?) kid who wanted to RS instead of go to high school another year.

  @KUSTEVE I hope I’m right too, Steve. He is very skilled and a fighter! Imagine him in about two years with weight and muscle… Gordon Hayward?

  Agreed. I would suggest, and have, that nearly every year under Self we have a top 5 roster. Meaning we might trade with four teams but not a fifth. Very few exceptions. Maybe a couple of times. And a number of times, we arguably have the best roster. Last year we were preseason #1.

  @HighEliteMajor If we get Moss, then a rotation of Dot, Ochai, Garrett, and Moss is strong. And if JW come aboard, then we can match up with anyone in the country. Moss brings a wealth of experience, and he can flat score. And then the MG outside shot becomes less significant.

  @kjayhawks On his ppg, I looked at the last half of his junior season, on points scored. Regarding Releford, his PER was 17.4 for his career, 17.9 his sophomore season. Garrett is 12.3 for two season, 12.8 last season. But Garrett is a better rebounder by 1.2 per 40 min played, and .5 more on steals per 40. I couldn’t find RRob’s PER, and stats are hard to compare because RRob played point – thus assists/steals higher as a consequence. I think they all all/were excellent defenders. Good guys to compare.

  @HighEliteMajor maybe the distance out will discourage us from trying to double team.

  @dylans Women’s college BB is a different, significantly inferior game. It’s really a different sport. I didn’t realize that’s why a KU fan would would watch men’s college BB.

  Fightsongwriter said: @FarmerJayhawk seeing the pics it strikes me that they all are guys that will eat nails and love KU. With Q and Vick we had bad juju going. Psyched up for this group to get back to chopping wood!!! As I have said, I am much more excited about this group than I was last. These guys have a chance to be special.

  “Coach (Self) said there will be more leadership thrust on Devon just because of the makeup of the team. Coach is preparing him for what’s to come. Coach sincerely feels Devon will get a lot out of it and will position himself better for next year (draft).” Dana Dotson noted: “Kansas plays on a big stage. Even some of the NBA people told us that. They said, ‘If you are at a different school it might be a different situation. Kansas will play in big games as opposed to you going to the G-League and play in front of 600 people.’ That’s a different deal.

  rockchalkwyo said: KUSTEVE said: If Q had demanded to play pg, wouldn’t he have the same opportunity with us that he would’ve had anywhere else in his junior year after DD left? I wonder if Q’s drama is why DD waited so long to announce… maybe there was some friction there…maybe DD didn’t like Q saying the line about only seeing half his game…hmmmm…vewwy interesting… This is spot on, IMO. Grimes won’t use all 4 years of eligibility so does he care so much about having the spot light in 2 years at another program vrs. KU. At least at KU he would have more in game experience as opposed to just practice experience. Just weird. Also, KUSTEVE your signatures, or whatever they’re called, crack me up! @KUSTEVE Ah, but we’re assuming that coach Self would have given him the PG spot as a junior. Not sure I can make that leap … Also, your bi-line … " “Good luck, Q. Hopefully there won’t be another DD at your next stop.” Nice. Heck, I might replace “DD” with “PG”.

  @Woodrow Maybe we dodged a bullet. I can’t think of many situations, or any, where an OAD player wants to give his guts to D1 like the lower players. They have other things to think about… their priorities differ from the lower guys. If we get Dotson back, I think we have a core group of players that are ready to give their guts and can make a run even if we have holes in the team.
