@kuballin10 I dont think he had the best roster countless years. Other than 2007-2008 i think its debatable that he ever had the best roster.
2010 probably and maybe one or two other years like 2020
-
@dylans So I 100% agree with this point however, when the other team can guard Lando 1v1 it doesn’t open anything up.
Other defenders can just “stick” to their man and let their big guy defend without having to double
Inside out works when you have Dok but not Landon or big Dave. Now what’s so perplexing is Big Dave flipped a switch and wasn’t an absolute beast and deserved the final 4 MOP by a mile. He turned into Dok lite for those two games and it was incredible to watch. The rest of the season he wasn’t ideal….
-
If coach didn’t stick w/big Dave when he was down, and everybody was blowing gaskets, we never win ncaa! Even though LL drove me nuts, his form was great and D was good. He lacked jumping ability. Josh J killed us in that game by losing his temper and getting the foul to sit the bench. Great athlete but had some problems. Sick how his life turned out.
-
Oooooh some rewriting of history. Count me in!
Do you guys remember at the end of the 2016-17 Duke game in the Champions Classic? Instead of letting Frank Mason keep the ball for a game-winner, Bill Self forced us to feed Landen Lucas, so we ended up losing in OT.
-
@Jhawk69 I remember when Frank won the game for us!
-
@Jhawk69 You picked the 1 game…and somehow ignored all the rest and Bill’s philosophy of inside - out to start and finish games or when we need a crucial bucket
The only revisionist history was you….

@bskeet He’s got 2 titles yet had the best roster countless years and couldn’t deliver.
This is what Kentucky fans said about Calipari. Hmmm.
-
@bskeet Is true of both coaches…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 - call your shot…Will we have a better record and go further in the tourney this year or not?
I know you think we are trash defensively but I think the athleticism will surprise you on that end

Just for you, for at least the third time now. KU will have a better record than last season because they have better players. I’ve never question the athleticism had been upgraded with Storr and Griffen, Mayo other hand is a push as he’s not athletic. Moore before his injury was an upgrade, now it’s wait and see how he recovers since he’s missing the most important part of the season.
We know what Adams, Dickinson, and Harris are on defense, good and bad. Mayo couldn’t guard anyone in the Summit League so he won’t magically start being able to guard B12 level athletes and that’s going to become obvious real quick. Storr and Griffen just don’t try on that end which is why it sounds like Mayo is the leader for the 5th starting spot right now. Unless that changes, KU’s defense is going to be dog shit this year.
KU’s lack of NBA ready talent is going to limit their ceiling this season. Who on this team is getting drafted, let alone in the 1st round in 2025? That’s a big problem.
As far as the B12 race, I think KU finishes higher than 6th, but won’t win the league. In the NCAA’s this team probably makes it past the first weekend, but they’re not a Final Four team.
-
I agree with you 100% on every single point
The lack of legit nba talent is an issue. Storr could be that as he has some ant Edwards in his game but he’s gotta adjust his effort as we’ve all heard
-
Starting line-up for tonight, a guess: Juan/Diggy/Rylan/KJ/Hunt
-
I think Mayo starts. He got benched as a lesson to shoot more. He responded favourably, so I think he will be rewarded.
-
I think I’m going to like Diggy a lot - kid can find his shot , has no conscience , ok I’ll gt the next one , and Coach is going to let it fly. -Little Pistol
-
Diggy plays D too

He already completely “gets” how to play for Bill Self. Some people on here have told me such a thing is impossible though.
-

My guess as well.
It may be a rotating lineup until conference play. Let’s see who gets out of the doghouse first kinda thing.
-
D1 looks pretty good
-
I think we have a gem in Bidunga.

Not looking like we will see a second year
-
@BShark Shhhhh! Let us dream.
-
Talk of Tiller joining the team at semester which is odd because I believe we are full on scholarships.
-
Yeah that’s not possible unless someone leaves. And before anyone asks, he can’t walk on for a semester. There are a lot of restrictions on how walk ons get recruited (or not).
-
inteeresting
-
Rylan likely out tonight with the flu
-
Have heard their Big Man Kylrbrenner-- -ya spelt wrong but heard he had injury and was out last game and not sure about tonight
-
Kalkbrenner will play, I have zero doubt.
-
@BShark said in Early Hearings TM:

Means 30 minutes for Storr and maybe a few for Passmore?
-
@BShark Hit our fam hard two weeks ago - worst bout I’ve had with it……tmi but it was both ends!!!

I had something last week but not too bad. Tis the season.
-
Couple roster changes at semester I believe. One out one in.
-
@BShark that seems….odd

With Moore’s return date up in the air, Self was asked if the guard would ever take a medical redshirt.
“I don’t think so,” Self said. “I can’t say positively, because I don’t know how he’s going to respond a month from now. But we didn’t recruit him here to play next year. We recruited him to play this year.”

Darryn Peterson In da house as hinted at previously?
I dunno who the “out” would be.

Peterson will stay in HS and collect his accolades. It would be Bryson Tiller in.

Interesting. May as well get him in early to build up strength and conditioning for next year. Learn the system, too.
The out will be interesting, too. a few options.

That’s a huge bummer. Would have been a great rotation player. We’re digging Diggy now!
-
A thought not based on any information just a gut feeling: I could see Bill retiring after next year. It’s either that or he has to change his approach because you can’t count on having a main core of guys for 3-4 years anymore.

Agreed. Or sooner. And this is the first time ever that I’m seriously questioning Self and his game plan or ability.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk A lot of it this year is he has lost a good chunk of the locker room. He needs to fix that but I’m not sure if it’s possible.
This team would be better if AJ Storr simply was not on the roster probably.
-
It genuinely seems like Coach has lost this locker room already. Bringing in all these guys was to lessen the load on the core 3 instead we’re getting more of a mediocre core than ever.
-

Yeah he has, I have intel on this. Massive couple weeks ahead to try and right the ship.

I’m not even trying to point fingers. But from the outside looking in Self has made some mistakes and I’m not putting it all on the transfers as I’m sure they weren’t told during the recruiting process they’ll get a front row seat to the Dajuan/KJ/Hunter show.

Man, that absolutely sucks if true. You had to wonder WTF was up when Diggy was starting today. I suppose it could have been strategic – play small to combat there size. But sure seems like he’s messing with guys.
But what other chunks other than Storr could he lose? Hunter, Passmore, Griffen?
Insane if this is true. I guess that backs up the argument that Self is maybe not fitting in to the free agency era. grrr.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk It’s a big 3 weeks here for Self to figure things out
-
@BShark players meeting? Are they playing half-ass on purpose? Don’t care?
-
@BShark It is easy to see with how he can’t be semi flexible in how he coaches along with the portal
Dude claimed taking us to new heights and that new height is no big 12 and second round l’s
This has been easy to see from a mile away
He’s gonna bring DP in here and have him feeding a back to the basket post up to start the game
@FarmerJayhawk - I stand corrected - game has passed him by and yeah he’s retiring just like I said
-
@BShark Nah it ain’t Storr it’s on Self - he brought him here
He’s butchered every transfer……
