Scary good if they all stick it out. Shooting at 4 spots. Tremendous size outside of McBride. SR Dave will be a LOAD.

Can’t be understated with Bill. Getting back so many guys was massive.

I’m sure we could go through old posts from last spring about us gushing over Wilson at the time.
While we’re at it we should look at our old posts about Hurt and Stanley.
I remember my first post here back in April and it said “Every year we have something to worry about and Self some how pulls it off.”

Apparently he who must not be named is with us in spirit.

@justanotherfan Great. Thank you

@KirkIsMyHinrich I’m glad it worked out the way it did. I want those guys at the scrimmage yesterday to go to battle with. And JW and Moss if they’re willing to get into the trenches, and earn time as well. No prima donnas … no unearned spots … just 12 guys playing their ass off, giving it their all every day to get better and better. The lineups are practically endless - the raw talent is truly off the chain. Ochai could make a run at the NBA lottery the way he’s looking. Enaruna, in time, is going to be a beast. We have the players to run a 4 out any time we want. Or we can pack the front line, and play the best muscle ball in the country. We’re as tough as nails. Deep. Experienced. This is national championship caliber, folks.

Right on. This roster is a beautiful thing.
-
@HighEliteMajor And…we didn’t have to recruit any of the one year “wonders”…
-
So with Wilson joining the party, does Lightfoot redshirt? I know we said the samething a year ago and Self pretty much confirmed it probably would have happened before SDS was suspended and Doke got hurt. It just hard to see him playing more than 5 or 6 minutes a game.
-
@KUSTEVE Wrong thread my dude.
-
@BShark lol…
-
@BShark I sent you a message about my " big win" on FanDuel…lol. One of my friends couldn’t believe I won that little for finishing first…lol. It was even less than I told you- I won 12.73 x2…lol.
-
Welcome to KU Jalen! You made a good choice. Looking forward to seeing what you and Hudy can do! Let’s puke into a strategically placed bucket and get started!

Even when you win…you don’t really win. RIGGED.

I have to assume Jalen is fully aware of the number one thing that will earn playing time and keep him in a game with our coach…

@bshark so I guess Bill’s house wasn’t on the market?
-
See where we offered a scholarship to Matthew Hurt’s little brother Joey, a 6’9 soon to be freshman PG at St. Thomas High School in Minnesota (joke).
-
“Oh, hell no!,” you say. “We don’t need to be pro-hurt.”
-
@BShark Dam didn’t think that was ever possible. - -but from the looks of that photo – coach Self’s leg are WHITER then mine - -JUMPIN GEE HOSSIE TOADS - that boy needs some Sun lmao

this is post hall of fame material ladies and gents.

HCBS looking trim…

@Gorilla72 Yeah, and @jayballer73 said that he has pretty white legs.

Moss and Wilson all in the same week. I’m ecstatic honestly how this all unfolded. Waiting sucks but it was worth it.

It was truly an epic week until the NCAA leak made it a bit of a downer.

If Jaybate was here, this would all make sense. Not even a day to celebrate a Top 50 signee followed by lingering doubts of the hammer coming down. I can feel the conspiracy posts now

Meh, we take whatever is coming to us. It’s our own fault for switching to Adidas 15 years ago. Sure, the off-brand makes sense financially. But don’t tell me Oreos taste the same as Twist & Shouts.
-
Several things impress me about Jalen. First… his drive. From all the footage I see on him, 90% of the time he’s driving the ball. He should develop into that monster 3 we used to have; a guy that can drive, drive and pull up, or bomb the trey. What a load that takes off our guards when we have a wing guy that actively drives. So glad he has some handles!
Speaking of handles… it is going to be a blast watching him grow into a uniform along with Tristan. What are we going to do with two guys with size who both have handles? I suspect this opportunity will be seized by Self to develop some new wrinkles in the offense which will include having both of them out there at the same time. Not probably this coming year, but next.
I do think he will have an adjustment year. So I’m not expecting the impossible out of him as a freshman. But he will be surrounded by great, experienced talent.
I’m also hoping Silvio, Doke and Big Mac go to work on him… hammering on him. And then there is Hudy. Both Jalen and Tristan will have some growing up necessary. Not even sure either shaves yet!

Do Oreos taste better than Hydrox?

@approxinfinity yes

From what I’ve seen on Youtube, Jalen seems to play low to the floor. For being 6-8, supposedly, he definitely doesn’t attack the rim… ever. He’s going to need some training, if one can even be trained to play above the rim. That might be more instinct and not come very easily. When he’s attacking the paint, he tends to go low and try a wild shot off the glass. Against those high schoolers, he should be going up and dunking it. Also, he doesn’t have much elevation on his jumper at all. More of a set shot.
I don’t see him getting significant minutes this year. He will be too easy to guard and will get his shot blocked at the next level (except for open threes).
