We will have shooters next year. Braun is obviously still on the roster and Thompson is an awesome 3 point shooter. Wilson has a good three point shot as well. Ochi has been inconsistent but I think his shot will be more and more consistent with each year.

We will see what self does. I think we play 2 big guys only with lightfoot in and the rest of the time play 4 guards. It really just comes down to if lightfoot becomes a starter or not

“DanR” that seems a little harsh. He’s a pure shooter at his size and if you watch his videos he has nice skill moves. Modern game is all about stretch big guys and he seems like one of the best in his class at that. I’m tired of watching videos of kids only dunking and then you see one clip of their shot and you see a huge red flag!

Great idea, terrible execution! Seriously it’s like a 22 year old duke grad did this. Danny Manning, 2 final fours, 1 championship (one of the most magical championship runs ever), 12 all time in scoring, averaged roughly 24pts 9 rebounds a game 2 straight years, is an 8seed??? Carmelo is a 5 and he had one great year, and he should be one of the higher freshman but still a 5 and manning is an 8. Not only is manning an 8 but Zion is the 9 and Christian laettner is the 1 seed in his bracket. Jay Bilas even called out how crazy that was on the live broadcast

I don’t see why we would need another player at this point. We have a really good starting 5. With garret, Ochi, Thompson, lightfoot, McCormick. We will play 2 big guys with a true power forward in lightfoot and play some combination of 4 guards with all of our small forwards in braun, tristian, wilson, and the new highly ranked juco guard. You have another pg in Freshman Harris. Silvio will be the main big guy off the bench with the freshman big guy gethro possibly playing or redshirting. We don’t need some mid major guy playing ahead of higher upside guys. We saw what Braun can do, but the other small forwards have high upside and will impact the program long term not one year!

I think we play lightfoot 25 min a game at the 4 and when he’s out we rotate 4 guards. Thompson and Braun are good shooters and I believe ochai will continue to improve on his shot. Wilson didn’t get enough time to really evaluate but he has good form on his three point shot and I expect him to shoot well. Biggest loss is dotson’s driving ability.

I get changing rules if your trying to keep top talent I guess, but the nba is watered down basketball. They have limited time to get a shot off. It’s really one pick and roll with maybe 2 passes, at most, with a quick shot. Quality of basketball is better in college. There are more play designs, more teamwork, and pace is much better.

Hey if your a ku fan, don’t turn a blind eye to what the recruiting world is. Self is right to do this. the evidence on him is weak! even if we all know some shady things have happened. Can we please not act like every power program does this. We know how much money coach k gave Zion. We know duke and Uk have been 1-2 in the recruiting rankings every year for the past 6 years and ku has been 3-19 ranked. Let’s be honest that they probably do so much more shady stuff then ku. Let’s also not think about how the NCAA has turned a blind eye to Nike and under armor. This stuff happens in football too.

I feel like Kansas just doesn’t have a ton of 5 star kids so if one goes somewhere else, we feel like there is something wrong. We’ve gotten 5 starts from other people’s backyards all the time, it just happens. I think our recruiting has been impacted recently with the adidas thing.

I think he’s improved his ability to stretch the floor and like someone said earlier he didn’t redshirt to not play. We also know self loves 2 big guy lineups. All season we could see we were better with 4 guards and it took the fight for him to totally go away from 2 big guys. I’m totally fine running 4 guards, especially if Foster is the real deal but I would not be shocked if bill went with the experienced Mitch for a decent amount of the game at 4

Obviously doke was sensational but you’ve got a junior, former McDonald’s American center, whose showed some promise last year. I don’t think the drop off will be as big at center, as losing Dotson will be. We do not have a solidified pg. probably garret will start there and do fine. Garret has thrived the most when playing the 4 but he has the tools to be the pg.

Honestly I don’t think we need a single transfer. They only way would be if Silvio transfers and you want another big guy. We are set at guard and big guys with our current roster

We will see what self does. I think we play 2 big guys only with lightfoot in and the rest of the time play 4 guards. It really just comes down to if lightfoot becomes a starter or not

I don’t see him starting unless we start 4 guards and I don’t see that happening. I think self will start lightfoot. Thompson, garret, ochai will be the guards and McCormick the center
