If they do know the secret to defense in today’s game, perhaps Nick Wiggins will be kind enough to share.

Black has been great for the kids, providing leadership and toughness. There have been reports of him being a great teacher already for Jojo. That said, I think Jojo starts eating his minutes sooner-than-expected. I originally thought Black would be the starter until conference play, but now I’m not sure Jojo takes over sooner. Black’s play on the court has been unimpressive so far, and Jojo has been a lot better than I expected with all the talk of how “raw” he is. I don’t see any chance at all of him staying longer than a year. Yes, he could improve, but he’s already a lock for a lotto pick, and a top half of the lotto at that. The second contract is where they get the real money anyway, so there’s no financial incentive whatsoever for him to stay.

The nickname "Ender"is actually a reference to a popular sci book Ender’s Game that’s actually coming out as a movie soon as well (It’s got Harrison Ford in it). The title character’s name is Andrew Wiggin. I read the book and several of its sequels and spin offs in high school. Good stuff. Hopefully he will continue ending games and hopes for our opponents though. Rock Chalk!

I had Drew penciled in for the redshirt this year as well. It makes sense given that HCBS seems to prefer redshirting sophomores to freshmen. I believe he does so in order to let them see the court and have in-game experience before they even redshirt so they get more out of it. It’s looking more like Frankamp now. I expect all 3 will be excellent players when we see their whole KU careers though.

I kept my name and avi ('Cus throwing down a dunk knocking 2 dudes over), but wasn’t a big poster, so no one probably rembembers me, but I like what you’re doing here.

I’m in Aurora, CO myself and have heard Stoney’s is the place to go as well. I’ve been meaning to get there myself, and perhaps this is the year.
