@BeddieKU23 How many players increase their shooting % when transitioning to a deeper 3 point line?

His outside shooting in Canada does not bode well for Grimes shooting a higher % than he did in HS next season.

@BeddieKU23 39% in HS isn’t great. That likely translates to 35-37% at best in college

@KUSTEVE Grimes is not a great shooter. That’s by far the weakest part of his game at this point and he’ll be in the NBA before his long range shot develops. I’m expecting him to be somewhere around 35-37% season which is decent at best.

@JayHawkFanToo Very good chance that never happens. Better than 50/50, I’d say 75/25 at this point Grimes is OAD. He’s already showing up as a projected lottery pick in several 2019 mock drafts.

Considering KU has no scholarship seniors this season, they need some players to pan out and leave early to make room for Hurt, JRE, and anyone else they sign in 2019.

@JayHawkFanToo @Crimsonorblue22 It said tied for national best with 19 returning starters I believe. Not best as in most talented, best as in most.

6 games is what Beaty has to prove himself this season before the new AD fires him at that point or in November after the season is over. KU has a bye after week 6 so that’s the ideal time to fire Beaty if KU isn’t at least 3-3 at that point.

If KU is 3-3 at that point, give him the season to try and reach a bowl game and if now, he’s gone.

@justanotherfan D2 schools don’t offer full athletic scholarships to begin with, and D3 schools don’t offer them at all. Athletes who go to D2 and D3 schools aren’t going to those schools for athletics in the first place, they’re at those schools for academics because they have no professional athletic hopes except in very rare cases.

What usually happens at those levels is a kid realizes that athletics takes up too much time and they start suffering in the classroom so they quit their sport to focus solely on academics.

Kids who go to those schools are usually doing so because they are within about 4 hours from their homes and it’s a chance to keep playing a sport they love while getting a college education.

@approxinfinity With the way Nova shot, I don’t think the outcome changes. Maybe a 10 point loss instead of 17 or whatever the final ended up being.

@justanotherfan I wouldn’t fully get rid of the transfer rule. I would change to where kids can transfer without sitting only if the coach of that program left the program. If the kid is transferring for other reasons such as playing time, that kid still has to sit a year unless it’s one of the already established exceptions such as a grad transfer.

@HighEliteMajor I don’t think it would have. Nova was too hot early on and KU was too ice cold the first 10 minutes of the game that I don’t think Bamba would’ve made enough of a difference to keep that game competitive.
