Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
-
@dylans I still don’t get that. Clark and Filipowski are both kind of idiots so people are going to criticize how they handled it but obviously not me. You run on a court a second after a game ends at full speed and the losing players are trying to get off, and in the Clark case even appear to target her, well if a player shoves the fan out of the way that’s the risk the court stormer takes.
-
I didnt question his knocking the shit out of the courtstormer. I questioned him suggesting the courtstormer wanted to injure him.
-
@wissox No arguments here. They are both floppers though. Lay the wood on the court stormer, don’t be such a pussy.
-
Well there ya go, the roster REALLY appears set this time.
Current likely depth chart. Positions a bit murky.
PG Harris — Moore — Coit — Mayo
SG Storr — Mayo — Passmore — Coit
SF Griffen — Passmore — McDowell
PF KJ — Clemence
C Dickinson — Bidunga — Clemence
Main Bench: Mayo — Passmore — Moore — Bidunga — Coit
Redshirt: Elmarko — Shelby
-
So who’s destined for more playing time: Moore or Coit?
-
Interesting one. I think they like Moore and he’s going to be a steady option behind Harris. Since he’s been here longer to develop chemistry and become accustomed to Self Ball I would expect it’s Moore.
Coit will also have to adjust to playing at this level whereas Moore has plenty of experience in P4.
Glad to have both as bench options that’s for sure
-
I like the sound of this:
Moore was a part of three-consecutive state championship teams in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Harris helped lead the team to two straight Missouri 5A state championship game appearances, finishing runner up in 2018 and winning in 2019. “Being a 5-9 kid from the middle of nowhere New Jersey … I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to play one more year. It’s a very good team. We’re very good players, so everything is going to have to be earned,” Coit said.
While with Lawrence High, Mayo became the first Chesty Lion ever to receive the male DiRenna Award for the Kansas City area’s best high school basketball player. He was also a two-time Journal-World All-Area player of the year before embarking on his career at SDSU.
Coit said he picked a school with “transparency and integrity. That was the main thing I’m trying to live by, just morals and standards. I wanted to play for a coach (Bill Self) that lives off of that as well. So the school I committed to (KU), they were kind of upfront from the get-go about me being able to play my game but also being able to compete. … I’m not going there with them saying, ‘You are starting,’ or ‘You’ve got the ball.’”

I wonder if it comes down to who’s hot plays, Zeke or Coit?

Moore, by a lot imo

It’s very possible neither ends up playing a lot minutes unless Self expands his rotation past 8. I think it’s possible that happens though because on paper, this appears like a team that will frustrate the hell out of Self because there’s a lot of below average to terrible defenders on this team this season.

Does Moore have any defense to his game? We’re gonna need somebody to play D.

Moore is an elite level defender. I would expect to see him and Harris on the floor together a lot closing out games because of their defense.
-
Have we discussed playing Badunga with Hunter enough? Still think its going to happen.

He recruited the players heh. But yeah we are definitely leaning into scoring but not a ton of defense. Best defensive 5 could be Juan/Moore/Griffen/KJ/Flory but who really knows yet…
This team is going to have to score a lot, and they will.
I do see Zeke likely being in the top 8 though. Juan/Griffen/Storr/KJ/Hunt. Then a primary bench of Zeke/Moore/Flory. Kease and Coit 9th/10th guys I am guessing. Some years where Kease would play more but we are deep this year.
-
Did we talk about the Mayo Neal connection? https://amp.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article287341140.html

This kid has some maturity to him and sounds like someone eager to prove himself again at this stage. Nice! Last guy we got in August turned out to be important to the team (Furphy).
Coit understands that he’s joining this roster demands him to do what’s best for the team.
“With or without me this is a great team,” Coit said. “The way I can help take them another level is just being another guy who can make plays, shoot and play off other good players. This is already a next-level team. So with me, I add depth, swagger-ball and hunger. If you know my story, coming from the bottom and getting it out of the mud, then you know that I bring a great mentality and I can help by being a great teammate, leader and solid person on and off the court.”
Now that he’s a Jayhawk, Coit has set his eye on a Big 12 title and a National Championship.
“Y’all got a kid who earned his way everywhere he went," he said when what KU fans can expect from his arrival. “I’m giving my heart to the program, town, state and the front and back of my jersey. I’m giving everything I got. I’m completely focused and locked in. I definitely can’t wait.”

@BeddieKU23 the Humble Microwave. Love it
-
Maybe he can help push Harris to score a bit more! It should help bringing his wisdom onboard, plus give us another very unique option! Winning games are often about matchups and sometimes I bet he can help us in that department.
-
Certainly, some wishful thinking there. This definitely gives us 3 options at the 1 in a pinch if Coit can learn to be trusted with the ball. Hard to imagine finding a better option this late in the game that knew there was no big role waiting or big NIL coming his way in his last year.
This addition also seems to impact Jamari as it sounds like he will be redshirting this season. When he didn’t transfer out the word was, he was happy here regardless of role. They wanted to RS him last year and couldn’t but now have the opportunity to do so. Redshirts these days feel like finding a dinosaur but still good to see kids sticking around to try and improve their games (Clemence, Jamari).
-
Yea, a Jamari redshirt makes sense. He seems to be at the tail end of any depth chart I can come up with.
The ability and development of Passmore may be key to his role.
-
Jamari should redshirt to preserve his eligibility for after he transfers to North Texas.

Fortunate situation for KU. Most of these super late guys it’s because they needed an NCAA waiver and we know how long stuff like that can take.

One more shot at a lineup before the season opener! Not loving the miniature guards in this lineup.
PG Harris
SG Coit
SF Griffen
PF KJ
C Dickinson
Main Bench: Storr — Moore — Mayo — Bidunga — Passmore
Redshirt: Elmarko — Shelby — McDowell
Walk on minutes: Clemence

This is a deep team, self is licking some chips

Don’t put them back in the bag!
