@BShark I didn’t say Moss would, said I’d pass on the kid from Puerto Rico (who will - if we sign him - be a Moore).
It was someone else on another forum, the 24/7 board. I ended up finding the post. That guy also thinks Jalen will start as well which I disagree with.

If a Jr and a Sr can’t get minutes over low ranked freshmen, redshirting will not help. Redshirting would mean they have to compete against more experienced Sophomores the next season, unless there is a mass exodus.
-
Garrett is going to play over 20 minutes a game so plan accordingly.

Have the bourbon ready when defenders sit an ocean away from him and he’s launching missiles at the rim
-
@Marco Marcus Garrett will average over 25 minutes per game this year and none of the freshmen are better than him.
-
@dylans Mitch’s PT issue isn’t the freshmen, it’s the Sr. and Jr. already on the roster that are his barrier to minutes. If Mitch redshirts, he should get good minutes in 2020 and probably start at the 4.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Thank you… Everyone is like writing Enaruna off as if he is a developmental guy who isn’t going to play this year. The dude can play, and he will. Weren’t he and Wilson rated more or less the same by some gurus?
Silvio is going to get about 20mpg, Enaruna 10 plus, Wilson 22, Agbaji 25 Braun about 7, Dotson about 30, McBride seven or eight, abd Moss around 25. And Garrett - if he doesn’t redshirt - what, about 5 or 6? And where should Garrett’s minutes come? At the point, over McBride? Why? He is a decent defender who cannot push the ball due to being relatively slow, and he cannot score. Maybe the 2? Are you serious? How 'bout the three? Why? At the expense of Agbaji, Wilson and the development of Braun? I’ve changed my mind on redshirting him, though… Want him to graduate in two years and move on, so that we can quickly replace him with someone who can shoot. He’ll be defensively serviceable this year for about 5 to 8 minutes a game, period - splitting time at three positions.
There are many takes that exist. This is one of them.

Some just don’t get it
-
@Marco Redshirt Garrett? Are you afraid we’re not going to give up enough points?

Yep.
Let’s think about it, this was a weak class. Wilson is by all accounts skilled and obviously has great size. So then, why is he still ranked in the 50s in a bad class. Imo it’s due to his lack of lateral quickness and he isn’t the best athlete, not enough so to immediately play the guard/wing at this level. I think his time will be spent at the 4, ala Marcus Morris/Perry.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Everyone is automatically assuming Jalen can guard the 3, and i’m not so sure he can.
-
@BShark Great minds think alike…I’m not saying JW couldn’t develop into a good defender on the perimeter, but he’s a long way off at this point.

This is how I feel. I think he gets 7-10 MPG to come in and be a spark offensively. Very much what BG was during his time here.
-
@Kcmatt7 10 or so minutes and all at the 4.
-
@KUSTEVE When or where did I say Jalen was a 3? He might get spot minutes there this season because of fouls, but 90%+ of his minutes this year will be at the 4. Jalen Wilson will be the biggest defensive liability on the team next season.
Wilson is the guy I can see the Charlie Moore/KJ Lawson discussion happening with in regards to why is he playing if he isn’t making shots.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 You didn’t say that. I didn’t say that you had. I was agreeing with you. I forget how sensitive you are. I should’ve said practically everyone except you and I believe that JW will have problems guarding the 3.

dammit man - -you ridin that horse to death - -giddy up lmao beat that up

@KUSTEVE I’ll add to your group there. I don’t see Jalen as a 3 yet. I need to see it play out. We have four terrific perimeter players in Dotson, Moss, Agbaji and Garrett. there are 120 minutes per game there. The math is easy. A fifth guy could get some time. My view is that McBride for appx. 10 is most likely if he’s not overwhelmed. But I don’t know.
But if Self is flexible with his offense, and Wilson is a 4, we could be 4/1 like last season when he’s at the 4 and it’s much the same difference. I’m just not convinced the kid will be a significant minutes guy yet.
Did I mention how much I love this roster? And the competition? Maybe my favorite so far – though 2012’s tight rotation, KY sealing the deal, TT playing great, EJ, Releford, Withey, TRob, and a little Teahan as needed (right Purdue), will be hard to beat.

I think and have been talking with other people - -I think your gonna see Silvio playing more 4 then Wilson - with Doke and McCormack manning the 5 - -and Silvio ONLY at the 5 IF Doke and Dave are both in foul trouble
-
@KUSTEVE That was a misunderstanding on my end. Wilson compares pretty closely to Brannen Greene as others have said. Difference being Wilson has an inch or 2 on Greene and isn’t stuck as perimeter guy.
-
@KUSTEVE I’m high on this team, man. Think we’ll be bigtime, but (if I have any concerns) it won’t be on the defensive side of the ball.
-
@Marco I’m of the opinion that Wilson will play the most minutes of any freshman on the team and that he could spend a lot of time at the 4. And I think it makes sense to have Garrett come of the bench and spend a lot of his time playing with a stretch 4 rather than with De Sousa who is going to do a lot of his damage at the rim. I’m sure Garrett and De Sousa will have some on-court overlap too. However, I also think it’s a mistake to finalize minute distributions for our freshman players in June. I don’t think it’s impossible that Enaruna or McBride get 10+ minutes next season.
I am pretty sure, however, that junior Marcus Garrett is going to get a lot of minutes either as a starter or coming off of the bench. Garrett played 19 minutes as a freshman and 28 minutes as a sophomore. I think that he’ll be somewhere around his sophomore minutes again this season.

I’m with you man. We had several things fall our way this off-season, (Dok and Dotson staying, Silvio eligible, landing three point shooters) that I didn’t think would happen. Yeah, Michigan State is going to be good and Kentucky and Louisville will be too but who else has our upside and overall talent? I don’t see one. Just like every year, we’ll probably start slow, look a little rough in November and December, folks will be overly critical and say we’re not good, then Self will have 'em rolling come late February early March. Just like he does most years. Definitely potential to only be a three loss team.
-
Official now.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich good thoughts about Marcus needing a stretch 4 on the floor. I still wish Mitch would develop a 3 ball.
-
I agree with it but man it would stink for him if we get a postseason ban next year.
-
think this is a win-win. - Once again just another reason I like Mitch - - team player. - -I do think Mitch realizes that there isn’t nay future pro wise for him BUT
With him red shirting actually helps him college wise for sure, redshirt this season - - more minutes next season - you know/ I know / Mitch knows more minutes - -and helps the team how? - -Mitch knows his experience/leadership will mean more NEXT season - - Doke gone - -who knows about Silvio - -so he is doing what he thinks the team needs also. - -win-win - -this guy is just a complete team player - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@kjayhawks KU will appeal any punishment like that I bet.
Enaruna is our best 4 guy.
-
@BShark I don’t disagree about whom is better, just hope it works out for him.

Ruling on penalties likely April. We appeal and appeals are usually done in 6 or so mos which would be before the 2021 tourney. Your concern about missing the 2021 tourney is a very real possibility.
In fact, with the current NOA, it seems like a certainly.
-
@HighEliteMajor it will be really upsetting because it’s supposed to return to Wichita that year. But the other side of the coin is the NCAA may want to sell that place out again.

Also assuming we don’t go to court and a court doesn’t stay the sanctions pending litigation.

I’ll be the first to say thank you Mitch.

I mentioned this might be the case a while back and took some heat for it.

Lol…! And you’re probably right.

KU will take it to court if the corrupt thing tries try to hammer us, and we would win. In all honesty, if it were to go to court, there is so much that can be brought up and so many cans of inadmissable worms to be opened, and while those cans may be inadmissable the court would see them none the less - a lose, lose for the NCAA.
