KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread

I’ll just say this on Kyle. He’s a great dude but sometimes the basketball part just doesn’t work out for whatever reason. Some draft picks you really root for and they can just never put it all together.

Cuffe isn’t a power 5 player. There it is, I said the quiet part out loud.
I didn’t want to! He sounds like a good kid and I wish him the best but it did not work out here.

You’re a class act, Sharky!
Poor Kyle. All that East Coast hype! Onward.

There is a lot of talk that he is having trouble finding a landing spot. Self is a good guy obviously and doesn’t want to just leave him with nowhere to go. I think that’s a lot of the hold up. Worth noting he hasn’t played basketball in 3 years and has had 2 knee injuries in that span, which is particularly tough for a kid that was mostly getting offers based on his athleticism.

I hate when the good guys leave!

Sounds like Kansas will host UCONN next year in the Big East/Big 12 challenge
-
Yepp official, UConn coming to Allen
-
Let’s go - they are gonna be good again next year

That, on top of what we could see in Maui, plus a solid Missouri team equals one hell of a non-confernce schedule.

08 is still Self’s best team at KU IMO.

I think it’s the 2nd best KU team ever, behind 97.
-
@AsadZ yea I mean that team had like 7 guys who logged NBA minutes right? Lol.
-
Rush, Chalmers, RR, Arthur, Sherron, Jackson, Kaun
They could beat you in every way possible.
-
@AsadZ Ball movement and defense were amazing

“Bill Self is a ****ing gangster”
Some are saying.

A real gangsta-ass plays his cards right.

This confused me. I’ve never ass played cards. That’s beyond my talents. Probably why Bill is the man and I’m a random poster. I knew there was some little trick holding me back!!!

Not thrilled about Primo. He gets a layup on one of his highlights where the whole team is on the other end of the court, they steal the ball, throw it down court to Primo for the easy layup. Never made it back on defense. I’d rather have El Marko, Chris, McDowell, really anyone than Primo. I’ll bet he wouldn’t get 5 minutes a game in conference.

Bad take. Chris is…not good. There are even concerns in his camp that he isn’t KU material now.

I hope this all makes sense in the end.

If it’s Primo vs CJ I don’t think it’s close you take Primo even if he has to RS.
-
I’d consider that a waste of a scholarship. This has been as strange as Kyle Cuffe being a stage 5 clinger to the program

Yeah we will see if he even takes the visit.

At least we could blame it on being freshmen. Taking Primo could elevate Bill’s blood pressure too much.
-
Hunter seems like he could do that too.

So this is interesting. How can we get to the point where Chris Johnson was offered a scholarship and is on the roster? Surely Self and Co. have scouted him and see potential, right?

So who is your starting 5?

Juan/Elmarko/Timberlake/Tyson or KJ/Hunter hopefully

Not trying to put words in his mouth but what I think he is trying to say is that he isn’t KU level good. Player rankings are always changing and usually KU is linked to players that end up climbing way up the rankings as they get closer to college. It sounds like CJ is expected to go the opposite way pretty drastically. There can be a lot of reasons for it happening but it just is what it is.
Its not all that different from say an elite college accepting an early applicant and then the student stops trying, skips out on school frequently for the beach, etc. and grades drop bad the last semester. I have heard stories of colleges pulling their acceptance in examples like this.

Yeah. I watched every Montverde game this year. He was not good, and a head case with the coaches. The stats show this as well. Got benched and scored 6ppg on 35% shooting and 26% from three.
We will see what happens but I don’t think he is long for KU either way.

I’m fine with that. I thought everyone was saying El Marko wasn’t ready.

That’s what I thought. Not understanding the clamor for Primo, though.

@Jethro Need guards

Off the bench as an offensive spark plug?
-
@Jethro Yes. He wouldn’t be brought in to start. Basically there is about 0% chance that CJ or McDowell will contribute. Will be interesting to see if anyone gets let go.
-
I dont’ see how he gets a waiver anyways. Even if he were willing to come off the bench. Not sure how you take him without a 4th spot anyways. Either you know someone else is leaving or Dickinson is going elsewhere.
-
Funny thing is I do want the michigan kid to play for KU even if he’s a big oaf. The dude can play and will help us win some games next year. I just wish I hadn’t seen so much of the bad side of him. Like if he ever walked into any arena with a ski mask on two days after a lunatic gunned down Michigan State students I think you’d understand. Giving opponents bulletin board material by calling them scumbags is more evidence of his doofusry. Hold my nose and watch him play for us? I guess.
