Western Kentucky topped Samford by 14 in a team scrimmage. Dwight Coleby finished with a double-double --- 10 and 15. Lamonte Bearden DNP.

@Crimsonorblue22

Has anyone ever figured out why Self appeared to run Coleby?

@jaybate-1.0 I think coleby wanted more time than Self could promise.

Whitman killed us...flaked out and ran off Colby at the same time. DC would be played 17-20 min a game.

I prefer the alternative of no post depth to 20mpg out of Coleby.

Yes, but this is just BShark being BShark, right? :-)

@BShark As Kramer would say, "That's just kooky talk!"

Is it though? I think KU is better off playing small with this roster and Coleby would possibly be a trap/crutch for Self.

@BShark Yup.

@Fightsongwriter No way with a healthy group Coleby ever would have played more than 10 minutes a game. @jaybate-1-0 I believe he wanted to play more, don't think Self ran him off whatsoever. Sadly if one of the trio of Whitman, Coleby and Bragg we would be in better shape but I honestly think Lightfoot improving caused 2 of these guys to leave.

From what I understand Bragg was ran off, Coleby was not.

@kjayhawks and @BShark

Good to know.

But I thought maybe Self had finally decided to require two working knees to start a season. He’s been pretty lax about working knees, since Kaun’s Team won a ring, but that memory only lasts so long.
