Oh man, lets not talk about KU football. Im just trying to pretend its not a thing.

When’s Late Night again!?!??

Seems like it gets earlier every season… lately anyways.

@jayballer73 Silvio is playing, and probly our 6th man, until proven otherwise. Rock Chalk!

@jaybate-1.0 Alright man, point taken very acutely. It does seem odd considering Self’s success with trey ballers over the years. Im still not willing to cry foul though. Not yet. Lets see what happens next season with recruiting and this coming season with all the guys we have right now. Im betting that we will have some guys break out in the post and in the back court that can shoot the 3 ball very well from deep.

Basically, lets just wait and see. Wait and see and gather some more info.

that’s all. Good day Jayhawk fans.

Someone post a video!!!

@jaybate-1.0 Exactly. So, Dedric and Mitch can both knock down treys. The jury is out on the other bigs from deep. Your point is that it only works if both Lawsons and Mitch can defend shorter guards. I think they can, but I have no idea.

@jaybate-1.0 Dude! I have been MIA on the board lately. Its off season and the travel nurse life is unforgiving at times in terms of my basketball needs. Anyways, Im not sure what to say about your post here sir. Your math and your WWII historical references are over my head.
You make a reference about KU not being able to land trey ballers. Well, at least the high level 5 star kind any ways which is true but, I think its inaccurate. Devonte, Svi and Frank were great trey shooters and not one of them were 5 or even 4 stars coming out of highschool. (yah I know, Svi came from Ukraine) But still, the past two years of trey gunners at KU have been raised to be that way. We just lost all of our trey gunners from last year.
We did lose out on 5 star wings this year, I’ll give you that. But we have guys on the team that can shoot from deep. We will have guys on the team that can shoot from deep. Wings and Bigs.

Coach Self has a post heavy rotation this year. We all know that. Its probly the deepest post rotation he has had at KU. That includes the 08 roster and the 11 roster with the twins and Trob.

I firmly believe this season that coach Self has a new tool to add. Bigs who can shoot from deep. And, those guys will be athletic enough to guard out to the trey line and guard ball screens. We dont necessarily need >40% from trey shooters. 36% collectively from our bigs would probly do the trick. Lawson, Mitch,( we know those guys can shoot from deep right now) Silvio and McCormack haven’t proven they can yet but if the need is there, I am betting they will. Hell, Im going to put Doke down here too. Even though I find it unlikely that coach lets him shoot 3’s.

Im just not convinced yet that great shooting wings are being diverted away from KU. If we start seeing a trend happening then yah I’ll buy into it. But, Coach Self has a recruiting advantage right now in the form of U18 USA Bball. Same as Coach K did when he had the helm there.

I also think we have guys on the team right now that can build up their shooting prowess the same way that Frank, Devonte’, Svi all did.

Great post by the way.

Rock Chalk!

@JayHawkFanToo Go Warriors

Mitch is gonna be a beast this fall!

The kid can shoot too. Granted he didn’t do it much but if he says his more normal position is SF then I have to believe he can bring a trey gun. Would he be the biggest SF we have had at KU? 6’8" 230 by fall, from what he was saying, is a goal of his.

Peeps on here have been lamenting our lack of trey shooters on this team. I think Mitch can bring that.

I am purely speculating but I think that Grimes and Dotson will be pretty good shooters from deep and I bet Garrett and Cunliffe will surprise us as will Charlie Moore.

We will have options is what Im trying to say.

Then add to it the deepest front court since 08.
