@approxinfinity Mitch and Garrett lol. Two beasts this year. Probably a bit unfair to Garrett, who I think is a better player than Mitch.

I totally agree. Garrett is your back court glue and will definitely school the others, with Dotson.

Mitch will be invaluable in the front court with the bigs.

Check out this pic of Garrett. He’s been spending time with Hudy. That boy be Reeeeeped. Check out his arms. Dang the last few years he looked like a little boy. Dude has become a damn man in a Summer. It’s amazing what Hudy-izing can do to a playa.

@BShark LOVE IT

@truehawk93 No worries. I was wondering where the miscommunication was though, because it definitely felt like we weren’t talking about the same thing.

Agree that Juwan is unproven and we will see if he can coach much. Jury is still out on Penny as well.

I can’t wait to see what Penny does with his talent. I am amazed at who he has lured. I predict he has more than he can handle. He won’t be able to translate. He will underachieve and Memphis will expect huge results. He will have 1-3 seasons, and he will likely be on the hot seat.

This my friends is interesting. Look at your older player/coaches and the success they’ve had as coaches. Then, look at your younger, NBA coaches lately that are coaching in college. They don’t transition well. Many of the current player/coaches that have a fair record struggle. I just don’t see Howard and Hardaway making much of a showing. Players don’t necessarily make good coaches, even if they played in the NBA.

I would definitely agree that Jayhawk Nation needs to get off Snack’s back. He’s done a great job.

BShark said:

@truehawk93 Oh, yeah we were all talking about the KU AC Jerrance Howard. The subject of the KU fanbase giving him crap came up again.

LOL…my bad

BShark said:

Howard helped secure Q as well. Didn’t work out but that was a big time signing.

Whoa…I think we are confusing Howards…LOL…I’m addressing Juwan Howard at Michigan, NOT Snacks. I think you all are complimenting Snacks on his role with Wilson, and YES definitely great work.

I’m addressing Juwan Howard and the fact that his being a new player/coach gave Snacks and KU a great advantage. Hardaway at Memphis is interesting because he has been by far the most influential player/coach to have recruiting success.

Sorry, I confused the Howard discussion.

@BShark I feel you and would tend to agree on Enarauna, but he’s not even stepped foot on the court and you have him gone in 1-2 years? Maybe, but he’s a huge challenge for your rotation right now in the front court. Geez if what your saying is a strong likelihood, we could lose our entire front court next season.

So, he develops this year? Gone after 2nd yr?

We lose Doke, SDS, and likely Big Mac…yikes. This would leave Enarauna as the lone returning front court big with a year of coming off the bench for Self.

I’m a little concerned. I would tend to present it to him. He might be willing to stay 3 yrs…1 RS and maybe 2 starting? He could jump after his junior year. I hate to say it, but Doke’s injuries will encourage players to jump regardless. We all know players should stay at least 2-3 years, but NBA is just too tempting.

Looks like Self and Howard dominated this recruitment. They locked in and got em

And people tried to criticize Howard AGAIN this offseason.

That dude is on the path to becoming a head coach, no doubt in my mind. I would guess he ends up a serious contender for the Depaul job the next time it opens up.

BUT HE MISSED ON SOME GUYS LIKE EVERYONE DOES. lol

He got Dave and Marcus too.

This year I know Roberts was on Enaruna. Don’t remember who was on Braun and McBride but it probably could have been you or me…

He’s not proven yet.

The more I read and think, the more I think Enarauna and Braun should RS. I’m starting a campaign to RS those two.

@truehawk93 I would respectfully request that you include Agbaji in your very fine lineup projections …

Absolutely and unfortunately, his coming out of RS really put a challenge in the rotation. I certainly meant no insult or message at all. He certainly will factor. I would even consider RS Braun?

I would then factor OA into Garrett’s minutes. I could see Garrett in the middle of those zones. I saw a pic in one of the kusports pieces and he has spent time in the gym with Hudy. He has some bulk.
