While Jeff is mentioned - his 2012 tournament may be one of the best defensive tournament performances in KU history.
- NC State he had 10 blocks.
- Ohio state he had 7 blocks and held Sullinger to 5-19 from the field and 13 points.
- UK he had 4 blocks and held AD to 1-10 from the field.
-
@Kcmatt7 great points
Withey was a force his final year here people don’t remember how good he was. Best defensive player inside in my book. Dok was a close second. Aldrich is in the convo
-
@Kcmatt7 The UK game still hurts me more than it should and I what if about BMac

Counter point: Jeff still had some games where he had to be taken out due to poor match-ups. Udoka got himself to the point where he could defend on the perimeter reasonably well if called for.
I do not mean to in any way knock too much on Jeff though, he was great. It’s 1A (Udoka) and 1B (Jeff) imo.
-
@BShark what game(s) are you referencing?
You might be right Dok is better if he can defend multiple positions better.
-
@Kcmatt7 makes me think of dedric, dude could not move laterally

What if Josh Selby had come back and played that 2011-12 season healthy. That’s another of those what if’s that I think about regularly in regards to KU having another title.

Missouri was a big one but he had several games logging under 20 minutes his JR year especially.
-
New name: Hakim Hart
-
@BShark the comeback? I remember him getting early fouls that didn’t help but must not remember that. Thought he spurred a second half comeback but logged 9 minutes lol
I swear Bill said something about his impact that half but I must be wrong
-
When is this dead period over? Im dying for some big news

Thursday at noon. KU has one visitor for Friday and is working on another.
-
My board as of right now based on need, fit, and ability:
- Dickinson
- Cryer
- Murray
- Abmas
- Hart
- Shedrick
- Spears
-
@FarmerJayhawk Duke contacted Shedrick I am in pain
Aren’t Cryer and Abmas believed to be done deals?
I DONT SEE THE WOFFORD GUY ON YOUR LIST
-
@BShark Cryer maybe? Haven’t heard on Abmas. My impression was he was on the open market unless I missed something.
Ope I always forget someone. I’d put him above Spears and that’s probably it. Not very high on a one year rental with a HUGE learning curve.
-
Who’s the Townson guard that’s in for a visit? Any legs to it?
-
@dylans Nick Timberlake will be in Friday. As far as I know we’re his only visit scheduled. UNC believes they’re out. He’s… fine. If folks expect him to be more than JCL I think they’re in for disappointment.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I would happily accept JCL out of him TBH. Though I’d love an impact guard. Hart + Dickinson and an impact guard. Fudge it let’s go 40-0.
-
JCL/Moss would be great as a starting point. Gonna eventually need to add some bodies!
-
@BShark yeah I think 8 MPG and 4 PPG is about right.
-
KSU is deep in it for Abmas, some believe the leader. @FarmerJayhawk
-
Decent!
-
Adding Timberlake to that roster makes it worse loool.
-
Gonna watch Och & CB highlights to remember when Coach liked having athletic wings.
-
Ingram in the portal. Rumor is UNC
-
Do we think Self is slow playing some guys and swinging for the fences??
-

Stanford guy said he reached out to KU and we said no.
-

Well, Hunter is presumably option 1.
-
Hart has a lot of highlights that remind you of Jalen and Kev’s game. Not a big fan of the set jump shot. Has size, comparable athleticism. Certainly a 3rd or 4th option kind of guy

Texas Hunter?

Yeah he would start for us.
-
Last two days have been…whew…
“dead period” looool
-
Man…are we sure on Dickinson? He’s a statue on defense. A tall one…but he just cannot move. I know that he’s more polished than Udeh/Zuby, but that doesn’t sound awesome to me. That combined with his off the charts level of douche-baggery make it a tough sell on my end

Will certainly be some interesting discussions if he ends up here.
-
@focojayhawk he’s definitely not the world’s best defender and we’ll have to really change what we’ve done on defense the last year. But I think he’s a guy you take and figure out the rest later.
-
Primo Spears. Get familiar

He’s got that dog in him. I like him more than Timberlake, a lot more.

I see you’re coming to the dark side with us
-
Juan Spears (some dude) Ingram Dickinson would slap

With Elmarko as the main rotation guy for the 1-2 yes please. I would also accept Hart at the 4.
-
@BShark Hart fo sho. Let’s go full sicko and get Tramon Mark at the 3. We’ll allow 55 a game lol
-

Are they trying to play bad boy - they thinking they gonna become relevant now with having one good year? - - possibly. we shall see, they might become a pain in our side

Of course the rest of that sentence is “for now.”
-
I watched a ton of maryland games the last two years, went to 3 games ( daughter is student there and a b-ball fan) Hakim hart was really streaky- great in spurts, then would disappear in other games… he didn’t impress me that much honestly
-
@Bosthawk Yeah he’s a good defender and decent athlete but shooter/scorer not really
Wish Bill would get the 4 best scorers and pair them with a big
-
@kuballin10 you really want to finish Bill off don’t you
-
@FarmerJayhawk huh? Not following you there
I want the 4 best basketball players
Ace Baldwin Bamba Dickinson
Not sure on the 4th but need Cuffe to leave first
-
@kuballin10 if we got the 4 best scorers in the portal Billy Eugene Self’s aorta would pop like a balloon around July 15
-
@FarmerJayhawk nah take a scorer and teach him D
Bill would have a title doing it that way
