H8ers gon h88
-
@RockChalkinTexas-0 not really, just finding guys that would’ve been walk ons back when that was a thing.
-
I like that he wears 88. Perhaps an homage to Danny and the Miracles

How cool is this?! New KU commit Atticus Richmond and Bill Self.
Richmond grew up a lifelong KU fan in Chicago. His dad, brother, cousins all went to KU. A real Jayhawk family.
This has to feel like a dream for them

-
Is Atticus Richmond or Grant Mordini better?
-
Well, down to one, possibly two roster sports depending on the mysterious Thengvall.
-
My guess is the last roster spot will go to a veteran, undersized, break glass in case of emergency point guard in the vein of Diggy and Ngala

I’m hoping that Bill is targeting an NBA Draft guy and has a contingency donor ready to pony up for the right guy.

Richmond by a lot. We don't need to wonder either. They went head to head in prep school and Richmond dominated. Newman where he was at is a really legit prep school.

This guy is closer to Mitch than a total bum though imo. But somewhere in between. Maybe a walk-on plus or something lol
His younger brother is a really legit QB prospect. Will be something to monitor.

We’re getting to the point of starting lineup debate! But, I think we’re desperate for at least one more guy who can dribble and play point. Backup quality at minimum. Right now we basically have only two, who each are potential starters in Blyden and Kinney. And please don’t even start to argue that Stokes can bring the ball up the court under pressure.
Most years we at least four serviceable guys who can handle the ball.
Am I missing anybody?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Yeah I think starting both is a big problem if they don't at least have another back-up level guard. It's the same problem as last year, just at opposite positions.
-
As long as we rarely have to sit both Kinney and Blyden at the same time it shouldn't be a problem
-
I will once again say Melvin would be a perfect addition to this group
And also say it isn’t happening but a man has to have hopes and dreams in this life
