@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.
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

@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…

@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
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.

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.
-
-
will self win a second title…ever?

Exactly!!!

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

Yes

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

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

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

I’m afraid he’s a cunliffe and will transfer or redshirt. He will always get recruited over
-
Barrett is a future stud. Jones is going to have some tough moments, Dotson is better then him. They look like a team that will have no bench or size but they might get another 5 star in montgomery… who knows I don’t see it with them
-
Not what got us here*** stupid autocorrect
-
@BeddieKU23 they will coach k is dirtier than cal…u heard it here first
-
@kuballin10 Moore can actually play basketball unlike Cunliffe. I think he will be a solid back-up. If he ever has to start, then that’s problematic.
-
He’s better then sam. Sam apparently didn’t know much about being a basketball player so I wouldn’t lump them together
What I always come back to is we took Charlie and could have had someone to help us this yr… he better pay off
-
I can hesitantly agree…would rather play Garrett at the point. He can get to the rim really well for his size but has a looonnnggg way to go to do that. Would like it only to play 4 big guards who can all defend. If bill preaches D like he claims he does Charlie isn’t playing much
-
Michigan is helplessly overmatched but they defend so it will be lower scoring then 95

Who? I don’t remember anyone honestly except thornton from duke I think but he wasn’t leaving the west coast after duke screwed him
-
ouch man what a terrible way to end the season
-
Wow, if they do this to us…hate to see what they will do to Michigan. I see a 20+ blow out in the NC game. I think it’s safe to say that Nova will be the next NC. If they play at this level or higher, it’s not going to be a game at all. Nova could have an average game and still win by a fair margin at this point. I was afraid of this possibility. Another team beat three B12 teams to the NC game…WVU, TT, and KU…wow…WOW. They beat our top three teams in the conference and the conference champion, conference tourney champion…WOW. I have no words.
Great season and couldn’t have asked for more. They are a great team and special.
Michigan 70
Nova 99 (might even break the century mark) I will be shocked if Michigan wins.
-
@BeddieKU23 no

Not even close…that woulda been against penn or seton hall

Michigan will win.
-
@DoubleDD please don’t bet any money on it…it’s as bad as throwing it into the wind
-
I bet Duke goes small ball next year and starts all 4 freshmen. Zion will play a small 4. Just have Bolden rebound everything and push. I bet they are better.
-
Someone else noted if we had power 4 like preston how different things may have been plus he could shoot it from outside
-
I really want to know what the game plan was at least defensively.
Well bill just said gameplan went to crap lol
-

Dont think that helps tonight.
We couldnt defend the 3 at all spots and our guards couldnt create anything on offense.
-
@kjayhawks I’m w/you. After losing preston, doke hurting his knee, and getting a high schooler ready to play, I’d say Self did pretty darn good. He put up w/a lot of crap this year. We are really losing a great leader in dg, not sure where that’s coming from next year.
