@JoJoAndMe there are at least 10 million reasons I can think of.
I’m gonna highly doubt Self came back for the money. My inside sources say he more fun last season than he has in a long time so he decided to ride again. Making what he has made at both a head coach at Illinois and Kansas he likely has an account somewhere where with $50 million just sitting.

@kjayhawks2.0 they have to get Stokes. Blyden is also a pro. TK is a pro but young. Dawes probably a foreign league guy. Unlikely to win a title but can be pretty good. Really hinges on Stokes
I think TK and Kohl are both pros they just ain’t pros at this time next season. Blyden I’m still the air about right now with him not playing against great teams. I think he is athletic enough to but you’ll have to get back with me in about 10 months. Without Stokes this is a bubble team IMO, with Stokes I could convince myself a top 5 finish in the conference and maybe a S16 given the right road.

@kjayhawks2.0 You have to admit, there was a time, not too long ago, when we thought at this time every year that we had a FF team.

Pretty much the entire Self era excluding the last 3 years

Isn't this under football?

@kjayhawks2.0 I'm not a Kohl believer at all. Don't think he can shoot and he has no ball skills. It's all just fast break or spot up.

I am at this point he really reminds me of Braun early in his career. Yes he has a lot to work on but I think he’ll be really good in a few years
-
I do not see that comparison at all. I'll be happy if he contributes even at the level of CB's freshman season this year.
-
You don't see the comparison between Braun and Rosario!? How?! They are both real lunch-pail-to-work guys, both gym rats, both first-guy-in/last-guy-out work ethic guys, both gritty glue guys and are both high-iq players whom I would let my non-existent daughter date! I would even say they are both in the vein of Brady Morningstar, Doug McDermott, and Larry Bird.
-
HA. They are in fact both white. That's about where the comparison ends for me.
-
If we want to go with a somewhat recent KU comparison he plays similarly to Freshman season Ochai did.
-
I like many of Kohl’s traits.
Mainly, he’s all over the place on the floor. Love that basic “skill”. Excellent hustle and strength. Love that he hits the boards and gets after loose balls.
His shooting can’t get worse, so there’s hope. I’m sure he’ll grow considerably as a player given time.
Happy he’s on the team.
-
Freshman Ochai didn't go on to have a very good career. I can see why a young player who is similar to him wouldn't inspire very much confidence.
-
Kohl has shooting form that should make shots but doesnt. If his shot went in we would be very high on him.
