    • RE: Five Big Questions

      I spent Saturday at a youth camp with a few of the Jayhawks and even Sherron came down. Been doing this for a few years now and I get a kick out of watching the KU guys coaching up the kids. I also get to watch them interact with each other and shoot a bit.

      Things that caught my eye this year;

      They all got along well Dedric, Doke, Moore, Grimes, and Silvio were there and hung together pretty tight when they had the time. that is not always the case.

      No one has told Charlie he isn’t going to be the leader. He is not an alpha dog like Frank but he has guys looking to him. He spent quite a bit of time talking with Sherron, I count that as a plus. He is very very quick has a good shot and a ton of confidence.

      Doke has found a 10’ shot that actually looks decent and goes in the hoop regularly. Shocked me when I looked over and saw him knocking in down. He also shot some FT’s at better than 50% with a bunch of screaming kids running amuck around him😂. I was to busy to get an accurate count but his elbow was staying where it belonged. He looks lean and strong as an ox too.

      Grimes is smooth, but pretty much took a backseat to the others, true freshman that he is I kind of like that.

      Sherron needs to be a coach someplace down the road! The team he coached went undefeated and the way he worked with the kids was special. Talked to him awhile, he just moved his family to Lawrence, his knees are back to full health, and he is working on getting back into playing shape and make another run at playing for money.

      No real insight on Silvio his enthusiasm for the game is obvious. He ran the floor with the kids he was coaching cheering them on and lived and died with each shot they took. I can’t help but like the guy and his teammates appear to feel the same way. I kind of wondered if the rumors would make him a bit of an outcast but that is not the case.

      No earth shaking info there but you get what you pay for

    • RE: Mitch Lightfoot is officially a Jayhawk

      I read that other KU site this morning, even the comments which I do at time for the comic content. This signing has created the typical level of hate and discontent that drove me away from there in the first place. What I see here is a kid with a reputation of being hard working, has decent footwork, some skill, and a lot of hustle. The type of player that can be used to push that one and done to practice and play with effort. Sometimes it is the type of player that as his body matures turns into a valuable rotation player. The kind of player that Self has turned into serious players in the past.

      As far as his current ranking I’ve noticed that kids that commit early in HS are sometimes ignored a bit by the ranking services. I am curious to see what will happen now that he has been brought back into notice. I would not be surprised to see him bounce up into the mid 70’s, which for what I see as a redshirt four year player would be about right. I believe KU needs a couple of 3-4 year players. It brings some year to year continuity and leadership potential down the road.

      Basically Self see’s a lot of holes opening up for big guys and he just filled his “four year guy” spot.

    • RE: Ochai

      I expected a let down from Ochai in his second game. I was wrong, I’m jumping on the bandwagon.

      Off topic I am on a job in Philly. When the folks here found out I was a Kansan they just went nuts about Embiid. He is damn near being worshiped around here.

    • RE: Why KU is more impressive than Virginia or UK (Link)

      The RPI is a tool to measure the capability of a team. However it is only one of many such tools and I think those that take it seriously on it’s own have a flawed view of the world.

      A more balanced approach is needed. I consider W/L, RPI, and a Ouija Board to determine my picks.

      I like the way they think, other than the fact UK kicked our rear soundly. 😞

    • RE: So- with all these players coming and going, what is next years team gonna look like?

      The one change I would like to see from Dave is on defense. He needs to calm down a bit and stay a bit more focused. An example is his desire to block shots into the upper seats. Dramatic yes, and there is times that is a moral breaker. However in more than one occasion as he went to make the monster block the guy he left received a pass for a layup. When he did get the block it typically went out of bounds off him negating a lot of the benefit.

      His defense overall needs work but just staying in control as rim defender would help a lot.

      Put Mitch at the top their big guy has to cover him even tho his shot isn’t great. That should let the guards drive at will.

      How do they handle the chance of a false positive? Not saying that is likely but it happens.
