Three theories are presented. All good and mostly what's been hashed and re-hashed.
I think there's a fourth theory -- I think there's a possibility this is a deliberate effort to create just enough doubt and concern in the scouts and GM's minds so his handlers can steer franchises that he doesn't want to be a part of away from him.

It’s just all so crazy because his intensity vs byu is exactly why you’d think he was a super competitive kid. It’s clear he was up for that game. But then why not finish the deal? My other thought which I don’t really think is a possibility is that self is even a little on board about doing his best to protect him until march. Everyone now sees with an engaged DP and a team gelling around him, this is a legit title contender. So maybe let’s see just enough of that group as we can to make sure it’s still working and then make sure DP stays healthy and opponents have less of a scout on that A team. We all know the big twelve is brutal and many have complained about self wearing guys out with big minutes all year only for them to be too beat down in March to peak. Maybe this is what that looks like? I know 3 strong games of 30+ minutes in the tournament will at least make me happy, 4 I’ll be thrilled, and we all know how great six would feel. If we lose in game two with 21 minutes from darryn, then I will be disappointed.
Privilege isn't nonsense.

How do they work it when he starts the second half and goes more than 5 minutes or more, How do they call him off? It's a little to pat to say he'll go as close to five minutes and then Bill you will pull him. I can't see Self doing this and living with it.

You could be right.
One other thing... look who is watching all our games now... Tyran Stokes.
It says a lot to a guy like him to know that his coach will protect his interests like a real parent!
-
BTW: If we sign Stokes we are easily preseason #1 next year, and actually deserve it this time! It's absolutely SICK to think of next year when you figure out who we might have coming back from this team. So far, I believe Flory returns... along with Bryson, Elmarko... and maybe we have a 50/50 to get Melvin back (by extending his eligibility)!
If all that happens... this will be the most stacked KU team of all times!

The BYU game was a great win for this years team. Thanks but success comes with a price and if we win against TTU it means we will need to win against Zona at least one and Houston. We are here and deserve it. That will mean just three possible games in the conference tourney we don't need to win the tourney and i'm just being a mother hen.
