Some misc things guys : RJ/Devon/ Silvio



  • What if and hear me out on this: Bill plays him exclusively at the 5?

    Yeah I know I laughed too.



  • @BShark then we wouldn’t get to see Silvio dunk so hard on Matt Hurt it ruins the game of basketball for him forever

    Honestly will Hurt ever touch the paint? I guess MAYBE to draw charges for Ratzinger.

    Random thought. Does anyone but me want Silvio to come back and start at the 4 (even if it’s not the best pure basketball play) just to take out all his frustration on rebounds and rims? Dude is staying in Lawrence because he wants no part of the G League and knows it may be his last few weeks here. If he gets reinstated… look out.

    Between he and Doke, we might want to reinforce the rims at AFH. Those are some grown, angry dudes dunking on them.

    Dam I hear ya buddy. - -Can you imagine now IF he got cleared to play this year? - Now we would have - - Doke - - -DeSousa - - -McCormack - - -Enaurna – & Mitch? - possibly Holyfield ? - -Then in the Back Court if we can get RJ - -and Devon WILL be back - -then Rayjon - & Oachi - -the have McBride and Garrett? - -you talk about LOADED

    A great random thought indeed.



  • Oh I want Silvio back and starting at the 4.

    Would it be fun to see us run and fun with 4 guards? Sure.

    But I’m ready to see Bill do Bill things again with a full set of 4 athletic bigs.

    We land RJ and get Silvio back and we have the most vintage Bill Self roster we will have seen in quite some time.



  • @Kcmatt7 I’d sure like to see another shooter! I’m afraid Dotson ( 🤞 he’s back) shouldn’t shoot more; his 3pt % is good, because he’s selective. A shooter that can handle the ball. Tucker? Is a pure spot up shooter available?

    Unless we land Tucker, it’s very likely we will struggle to shoot. So we might as well lean into putting out the best offensive rebounding lineup we can lol.

  • Really feels like this one is a lock, but I’m still a little bit worried.



  • But, how can I doubt Bill ‘Enter Sandman’ Self in the Spring…







  • EVERYONE STAY CALM OKAY



  • KEVIN FLAHERTY@KFLAHERTY247 8M UNFORTUNATELY, KANSAS FANS HEARING SILVIO DE SOUSA’S TWEET WASN’T RELATED TO HIS APPEAL CASE, PER SOURCES WILL HAVE TO WAIT A BIT LONGER.



  • @Kcmatt7

    I’m with you on the hunger for Silvio to return. I think people would be in for a HUGE SURPRISE on just how much he has improved!

    I’d like to also see him at the 5… when we go for a total speed lineup. His motor is unreal!

  • Something HAS to be coming before long now - they have wiggly wagged with this crap to long - -let this kid be. - either uphold the penalty so he can move on - -OR which should be done - -over turn this and let him play next year. - - Dam pretty simple,



  • Every time I’ve asked about Silvio, folks at KU get more optimistic. Maybe mid-May or so?

    I’m tellin ya - -IF the Basketball GOD’S smile down on us - - Silvio gets to play this coming year - - -LOOK THE HELL OUT. - - Doke - - DeSousa - - - McCormack - - Enrauna – Lightfoot - -Yahsa - - Yahsa



  • I think RJ only comes to KU if Dotson goes to the NBA. With Dotson being projected in the Top 30, I think he stays in the draft. So, the lineup could look like RJ, Tucker, Ochai, Precious, and Doke. Three guys who haven’t played a minute in our system yet. And this is assuming we land Tucker, RJ, and Precious. W/O Dotson, this team doesn’t look nearly as formidable on paper. No matter how good RJ’s potential, I worry about anyone that takes 26 shots in a game, and shoots 25% from 3.



  • Silvio was at a Bill Self camp helping coach.

    Graham was as well and has his own camp coming up in Tongie.



  • @KUSTEVE

    I can see that train of thought but I’ll throw a counter out there.

    Grimes left. We haven’t replaced him. We don’t have anyone on the roster coming back or coming in (yet) that would replace Grimes’s spot.

    If Dotson and RJ are exclusive to each other then if Dotson stays in the draft and RJ signs we still need someone to fill Grimes position. Back to square one.

    I think and this is just going off the situation, the staff expects Dotson to return, RJ signs and both parties and staff are happy with this 1-2 combo who both can play on/off the ball at times.

    To make this all work, you get Tucker to play the Wing!



  • I would have realistic expectations here if I didn’t just see UK sign 3 Top 30 guys that will end up meaning that 3 other Top 30 guys are coming off of the bench.

    Anything less than RJ, Tucker and one of DeSousa/Holyfield/Precious is a disappointment.
