RE: 2021-22 PER's & Stats
Jalens a guy who can be so valuable to this team without scoring the ball especially the way Och and CB are playing. I hope he starts concentrating the other aspects of the game and stops pressing so much offensively. Play his role and I believe things will turn around for him. He’s just too good to be this irrelevant

RE: Yesufu to KU (Drake PG Transfer)
Work this off season will be so vital for so many of our guys. Competition this spring and summer is going to be crazy. I think Bryce will be much improved and that ugly ass shot will look a lot better when they start going in!

RE: 2022 Transfer Portal Thread
@Crimsonorblue22 I think Farmer is talking about experience within the program. Guys that know what it takes to play for Self. Just because the freshman Didn’t play much and Cam and Cuffe redshirted doesn’t mean they didn’t gain experience Im a big on team chemistry and I’m sure the staff is as well.

RE: Self Has Covid
@RockkChalkk agree 100%. I am also tired of the know it alls calling people they don’t even know dumb or stupid because they have a different opinion. Just sad

RE: Self Has Covid
@Crimsonorblue22 you’re right and my apologies to mayjay. I just wish people would understand that circumstances are different for everyone and wish we could refrain from calling BS on someone’s opinion. Some of the world’s brightest minds have differences of opinion on this terrible virus I’m trying to respect everyone’s opinion and just asking for the same in return. Certainly no hard feelings!!

RE: Reasons to believe in next year’s team
@approxinfinity said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
Underclassman Sherron frustrated the hell out of me. If he hadn’t gotten that steal and 3 to put us in striking distance in the championship and then the fall down pass to Mario, I would have remembered a lot of the boneheaded things he did that season, including some head-scratching plays in the championship on a team full of pretty cool customers. My point being, Dajuan is not the first KU underclassman to make a few boneheaded plays in a championship he also did some very good things in.
In particular, underclassman Sherron’s drives to nowhere, getting caught in the air with no option, and either turning it over or getting packed to Kingdom Come drove me absolutely nuts. So let’s allow that there may be a bit of lip-service hypberbole in Self’s assessment of Sherron as “one of the toughest” or whatever he said. Yes, Sherron was good, had a borderline great career by KU standards (high standards). He checks all the boxes for someone Self would praise.
- Contributed his sophomore year to a championship run.
- Waited his turn to start
- Was from the Chicago area (want to recruit that!)
- Was a 5 star McD (want to recruit that!)
- Played 4 years for Self, probably should have left after his 3rd
- First team All American
- Wasn’t drafted because of size
And importantly, his senior year, with 7 guys who made an NBA roster on his team, a team you would expect senior Sherron to lead, he lost to Northern Iowa.
So don’t laugh when we suggest that lil Sophomore NCAA CHAMPION Dajuan Harris might end up having a better college career than Sherron.
He just might.

@BShark any young man that loves his school and puts the team first is a keeper in my eyes. Hope Joe sticks around

RE: Next Year's Team Thread
I think cb would like to go but I think he and his family will listen to what the nba people say. So many similarities to oach. We’ll see
