Close. 50/50

LOL. That was a gosh damn and one. No call of course.
-
Bunch of a
-
Roy looks really really excited!
-
@BShark Kentucky kid gonna play tmrw?
-
Bunch of jerks
-
Our kid looked good, shot getting better, heās so strong
-
Can handle pt too
-
Talking to myself!
-
I am here. Grimes did play PG a fair amount of time; he is super solid and will be fun to watch next season.
-
Grimesās game high 26 points leads Team USA to the finals against Canada. Yes, itās a little early to call the Canada v. Puerto Rico game, but Iām calling it. Anyone going to watch Canada v. Puerto Rico?
-
Grimes is a baller.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Watched every minute of every game
-
-
Earle actually came up with key buckets in the 4th quarter - I think all 10 of his points were in the 4th. - -Grimes really solid game - led in Scoring - -led in rebounding, - -Hurt 15 points 3 blocks.
Anthony gets mauled and they call it an offensive foul lmao. Earle had some trouble playing D on their 7 footer but giving up like 4 inches did ok
-
Cole Anthony is amazing and has been saying positive things about Self. Iām not gonnnnna jmt myself into believing that Nike could allow him to end up at KU. Might be the best HS player right now regardless of class.
-
@BShark he was pulling the trigger a tad early when he got back in, he was a lil frustrated. First of the week I saw that. Really awkward sentence.
-
I think the refs could make it even harder tmrw! Have to play harder and smarter. Anybody see what the ast coach did to get the T? Must have been murder.
-
@BShark I think kids are seeing what we have always known about Self. And, I think they like being coached up that way! Playing team ball and running the floor. Iām hearing lots of positive things.
-
It sure canāt hurt for hurt - ahhhhh lol - -I just kill myself sometimes lol - -see what I done? = =Hurt - - - -Hurt - -OH Iām to much lol. - -but anyways it certainly doesnāt hurt the Matthew and Robinson Earle get a chance to play under him and get a 1st hand look at how the Coaches in certain game situations -sure would be sweet to be able to pull those two in
Plus it would just be off the charts if somehow - some wat Anthony ended up here, - but I also am not really considering that
-
Iām greedy, I want Anthony. Heās one of the best pts Iāve seen, that young.
-
Argentina held the advantage from the foul line making 24-of-30 tries, while the USA was 11-of-16 from the charity line.
-
Youtube will broadcast the USA v. Canada game at 7:15 Central Saturday. Even without Massey, I look for team USA to breeze by Canada. The officiating should be more even since the Central/South American bias will be absent. I really like that Coach Self plays Grimes, Hurt and Earl together. These three already play like teammates; they look to pass to each other to help each other score. I hope both Hurt and Earl commit to KU. Itās been fun watching them at such a young age.
-
US should beat Canada but it will not be easy. Canada has a solid team and is playing at home looking for its first U18 title ever which gives them an extra incentive. I would be very surprised if it is a breeze.

I read where Maxey is expected to play for the US tonight. I agree with you but maybe not easily - bottom line is Canada has 3-4 pretty good players - BUT US is just so balanced with pretty good players I think the overall talent of 12 will be more then they can handle
-
Jballs, you are the man
-
I hear cal is at game, picking up coaching pointers!
-
I like the way team USA takes it to the rim on offense.
-
I hate the ref cam. It needs to go the way of the helmet cam
-
@stoptheflop bill self offense!
-
Kinda slow start to 2nd half
-
It appears the USA players have picked up HCBS offenses!. Maybe not so much the defenseā¦
-
I will just say that Bill Self did the best job in trials that I have seen in 15 years in this business. Covered nuances of euro officiating. Hadnāt seen that before. Jerry Meyer
-
bill self, pretty sweet, kicked their butts
-
Gotta be a great recruiting tool for us!
-
just total domination. Grimes is gonna be sweet his one year here at KU. - -JUMPIN - - -GEE - - - HOSSIE - -TOADS I want Robinson Earle & Hurt Sooooooooo bad.
Looks like they play quite well together on the floor even at the same time. - -I know Coach Self is telling them both - -you BOTH can play on the floor at the same time pretty sweet combo. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Grimes mvp
-
Hope we get earl and hurt! And Anthony!
-
@Buster-1926 ah geez, coach probably doesnāt have room for it!
it would be sweet though

Seems okay.
-
@BShark where will that trophy go?
-
More on self āObvious that [Self] has been meticulous and fastidious in his preparations with this [U.S] FIBA U18 team,ā added ESPN analyst Mark Jones on Twitter. āTheyāre prepared on both ends, his zone offense shredded Canada when they went to it, briefly.ā
-
Trophy goes to the US Basketball headquarters. Grimes accepted the trophy on behalf of the team which means he was the teamās captain. Would love to see JRE, Hurt and Grimes play together at KU.
-
@JayHawkFanToo we need a replica
was cool to hear grimes say he was excited to go to Kansas w/Self!
-
@JayHawkFanToo Very good chance that never happens. Better than 50/50, Iād say 75/25 at this point Grimes is OAD. Heās already showing up as a projected lottery pick in several 2019 mock drafts.
Considering KU has no scholarship seniors this season, they need some players to pan out and leave early to make room for Hurt, JRE, and anyone else they sign in 2019.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 One open scholarship but in general yeah. I fully expect Doke, Dedric and Grimes to go. Silvio situation is still murky.
-
If we had hurt and earl, Iād play them both at 3 and 4. Suffer on D, but they both board and shoot so well.
-
Agreed. Grimes was the Tournament MVP and he will likely be as good or better than Joshā¦and this is setting the bar pretty high. Dedric and Doke likely gone and still have one scholarship left from the upcoming season so scholarship should not be a problem.

I think at the college level you can easily play them together at 4/5. Interchangeable on O, primarily JRE at the 5 on D but can switch.
