Game Day Chat room



  • It was one hell of a ride. Thanks Jayhawks for a great year. Thanks Graham and Svi for your time as Jayhawks. Success is in your future.



  • Yes Newman is gone. Should make it official soon.



  • 16 point loss. 11 point differential from 3.

    What did we do philosophy wise defensively to change that? Especially knowing they are 3 point shooting team.

    @BigBad so why can’t bill see it lol

    Because some teams still helped/doubled on Doke.

    It’s taken 32 years for college coaches to FULLY grasp what the 3 pointer and having all 5 guys be able to shoot it does.



  • This off season will be long… no summer games no nothing. The last drama to care about will be Romeo or no Romeo



  • @BeddieKU23 wish he stayed with Dotson, grimes, Langford, Garrett and kj Lawson for our guards

    Vick can leave. Good player but not great. Makes too many turnovers same for Devontae this year.

    Nova handles it so well even being an older team we were junior high sloppy with the ball all year

    I live in Ohio so Id love to land Romeo just to stick it to my buddies who are IU fans



  • @BShark vick too?

    Man we will be weak at guard next year

    It sounds as if we have a good chance. Just a matter of timing now until Newman and Vick leave

    Our starting 5 is gone. Will be interesting to see who steps up to fill the void



  • bottom line our perimeter d did what it does—not defend.

    we didn’t rebound.

    the only chance Kansas had to win was try to match their scoring and Self held them back and instructed them to play in the paint.

    regardless, we couldn’t have kept pace with 18/38 threes anyway.



  • kuballin10 said:

    @BShark vick too?

    Charlie Moore is no joke. Dotson will be solid. Marcus Garrett should improve his shot…lets hope Grimes looks solid.

    Maybe we land Langford.



  • @BigBad some is irrelevant the good teams are what matter and Bill should know how they will play us. No way u ever double doke force a guy who doesn’t score 20 a game to feel the mental stress when he has a quick 8-10 down low to continually scoring which mentally makes u feel selfish and letting ur team down when u miss



  • @kuballin10 Pretty sure Vick will go too, but Newman is 100%.

    And idk, young at guard is different than weak. Might take some time but I really like Grimes and Dotson long term. Moore I am not high on at all.

    Romeo Langford would be a game changer.



  • @kuballin10 Post ups are not efficient offense period.



  • Romeo could be our 2nd leading scorer next yr. Kid will light it up wherever he goes



  • @BigBad Charlie isn’t better than anyone we’ve had. He can’t beat me off the dribble he’s a streaky volume shooter not the answer just stop gap in case we missed on recruiting

    Love love love Dotson quickest cat…will remind everyone of mason

    Needs to chuck 1000 threes a day in the offseason

    Grimes is tyler Dorsey on steroids

    Romeo we have to have if Vick leaves otherwise we are gonna struggle



  • @BShark Nope. But its hard to convince old school guys and Im 44!!!

    1. Corner 3
    2. Any other 3.
    3. Cutting layup


  • @BShark why so certain on Newman

    True but if Doke stays Self will go HARDCORE high low with Lawson/Doke.



  • @Blown Worst kept secret in Lawrence.

    Agree on all accounts. Have to have Romeo cause duke is gonna be ridiculous next year…mini Kobe with a dog attitude and Zion is a mini lebron. They are gonna be incredible and will defend



  • After tonight we might be better off having doke go



  • BShark said:

    @kuballin10 Post ups are not efficient offense period.

    Unless u got a stud down low which kids don’t practice that part of their game anymore. William just thinks close shots higher percentage…he’s not the brightest sometimes



  • That sucks. I’d actually love it if Newman returned. He could absolutely lead this team next year. Newman>any incoming freshman. No question



  • Imagine

    Dotson Grimes Langford Garrett(if his shot improves) Lawson

    Small ball…

    Glad someone else sees it with Moore. He’s just okay.



  • @BShark is he projected very high ?



  • I see Moore as a Russel Robinson type for Self.



  • BigBad said:

    KJ at the 4 works too.



  • Moore will be nice in future years



  • And Nova just hit another 3.

    If Doke had more effective moves and was a great passer I’d feel differently. I think Dedric actually fits that bill…



  • @BigBad I know I’m gonna puke when Nova comes in and pounds us by 15 in Allen…I know they lose a lot so we probably win but duke will destroy us next year playing what I call golden state ball



  • BigBad said:

    I don’t think he can defend at that level.



  • Blown said:

    Dunno, 2nd round probably. Doesn’t matter though.



  • will self win a second title…ever?



  • BigBad said:

    Exactly!!!

    That probably true. That is what kept Sherron on the bench. Drove me nuts Rus Rob started over him for so long.



  • Blown said:

    Yes

    I don’t see duke being any better then this year. Even younger no knock down shooters a lot of positionless players



  • BigBad said:

    Small ball…

    Wonder if bill ever wins one again. Watch us be dominate down low like he wants and get beat. The four guards best chance was last year unfortunately utilizing them how bill does with the weave and dump downs



  • BigBad said:

    Yikes u will be really dissappointed. He’s short, not quick, doesn’t produce turnovers. Not sure where u got ur analysis

    Except he can’t shoot



  • I actually think Bill will win a second and third title if not more in the next 7-10 years of he will stay that long



  • The hate on Bill Self can stop immediately, do I think Jay Wright is a better coach? Maybe but Idc I’m proud of the job Self has done this season.

    You might be right. Barrett can score and jones can shoot but he ain’t half as good as his brother. Zion if he can shoot is unstoppable though

    He was a freshman asked to carry a big role on a really bad cal team. His size is what concerns me the most as he’s looked like a middle school player since he got here. He can play and with a possible 4 years here it will be impossible to expect he won’t step up at some point



  • @kjayhawks make zero mistake about it. Bill has his faults and has had his failings. It’s just simply that this season as a whole was not one of those. But… It’s also anyones choice to think whatever the hell they want about him honestly. And to say it



  • @kjayhawks not hating man stating issues in basketball philosophy. Hall of famer and does great with low talent just needs to put guys in better positions and change some things. Don’t get defensive man everyone loves bill but he’s not infallible.

    A week to prepare don’t think we Expected this. Dump it to doke, not guard the three and not shoot threes is not what got us year
