@BShark Wide-open at the easiest place to shoot a 3-pointer, though. That's probably the most open that guy has been all season. We need to play better defense.
I get leaving him open and daring him one time but after he shows he can hit it you have to at least have someone on him.
Like that shit always happens it's unreal.
I just checked...he was 0-2 previously in his ENTIRE CAREER from three.
CLASSIC FIRST THREE OF THE YEAR

@BShark espn + is working on my tv! Didn't know it continues from pregame. Use to be listed separately. I'm happy!
It was working as one thing last game too, at least for me.
Just in time!
WOOOO

A skinny 7 footer!
I see 2 seven footers on their roster.
Listened to an interview with their coach and he really modeled his approach after Bill. Sounds like they know each other and are friends.
Now that the game is over, what an embarrassment that field was. SLOPS.

Ha ha, Phil.
Pretty much the only other quarterback I can't stand other than the NE dude whose name I won't say out loud.
Been a Rivers hater since he took out KU in that bowl game in 2003.
I've disliked Phil since I saw his face.
He's really not a bad guy tbh, once he is retired I won't mind him lol.
Ah, it got clipped thankfully: 🐦 View Tweet

His reaction at the end made my night.

Christmas came early for the Chiefs. Chargers gifted 'em the game.
No kidding. First half was an ass kicking. Chiefs turned it up, then Andy went full idiot trying not to lose the game instead of play calling the way that got them the lead.
Mahomes 8-15 and only 63 yards passing. Woof.
@Gorilla72 Might say more about MSU at this point. Both teams dealing with injuries though. UK I think had 7 scholarship players tonight.
Chiefs outright suck. Probably won't make the playoffs.

Is Kentucky...just bad? Was @Kcmatt7 just off by one year on their suckage?
After tonight. Feelsbadman.
@Kcmatt7 I really just do not see it at all with Dotson but I'd love to be wrong. We've seen guys go before just to go, even if it's to start cashing overseas checks ie Newman. I do think Dotson is closer to Graham than Newman, but time will tell.
Don't wanna lose Wilson.

See you KUBuckets, it's been real. One person here wrecks it for me. I'll check back in 6 months see if it's any better. I'll miss ya'll, but.....It's just not worth it.
You can block people. Makes their posts complete invisible.
@Kcmatt7 It means we are one over. There are two SR in Doke and Moss, one open spot and 4 signees. However I can't see the staff taking Jossell without knowing Dotson is gone.

Until our young guards learn to drive better, Garrett's quickness and ability to drive for a bucket, and his passing to the post, will help keep the other team from playing D all the way out to the 3 pt line, as they cheat back to help. This can open up our 3 pt offense a bit even if he doesn't shoot any himself, but if he can get better at laying it up both LH and RH (i.e., more unpredictable), it will be more significant.
I don't think we can avoid playing Garrett fairly big minutes this year either. Garrett and Dotson are the only two guys that can drive it well.
I really wish our guards, especially Dotson and Agbaji were even 75% as good as Brady Morningstar feeding the post. Lots of missed easy dunks against Monmouth, not that it mattered in that game but it's something that can down the line. Doke is excellent at sealing down low but it only matters if the guards can get it to him.
@Kcmatt7 yeah I was just trying to further your point.
Ochai even with his inconsistency is better than Grimes. Wildly different rankings. Graham and Mason were high unranked as HS seniors. Their rankings came later during their prep year. Ja Morant, Trey Burke etc...
Two of our best guards this year in Moss and Agbaji were not RSCI top 100. Another issue to me is KU recruits esp when really lowly rates get a post commitment bump. Hell sometimes the services even scramble to watch and evaluate a kid after KU or another big school even shows interest or offers. I try to factor that in ie Agbaji being sub 300 when KU came sniffing. Garrett being almost unranked etc
@Kcmatt7 If the last two classes are any indication Bill wants shooters and flexibility. Even if say KU lands top targets last year it's Hurt and JRE instead of Wilson and Enaruna. Neither of which is a plodding 5 man. Now...part of it might be because we already have 3 on the roster and Mitch is functionally a 5 offensively as well. How many plodders Bill wants is something to monitor going forward.
Maybe it's confirmation bias but when I think of guys that the recruiting services missed on way more guards than bigs come to mind. Part of this is because there are more guards out there and more guard positions to put out there on the court.

I know we all like Garrett. But I think Garrett is one of those players that possibly blocks a team from reaching its potential when he plays too many minutes. On a Bill Self run team, Garrett is "pet" like. Meaning he's easy to love because he's smart, defense is great, and has high intangibles.
I see next season and my first, favorite lineup is Thompson, Agbagi, Wilson, Enaruna, DeSousa. All in on the 4/1. Dave instead of DeSousa ok too. Rotate that.
Now, the uncertainty with Wilson makes that a bit grey. Bring Garrett off the bench at the 2-4 spots. Play 20 minutes. Garrett played 26 minutes and was a nothing offensively Friday. But I more focus on the Duke game where, once again, the defense didn't care about him at the three point line. Heck, in that game, he played 36 minutes, shot 38% from two and didn't even take a three.
The consistent production of the 3/2 concept is severely challenged with Garrett on the floor.
Garrett is the kind of player that, when played too much, really limits a team offensively as it stands now.
I had a Garrett thread. I don't remember what I called it but this is a large amount of my point. IE on a great KU team Garrett is a nice bench piece.
Last year we really had to play Garrett especially after all the issues. This year we are currently at 9 guys, so he's going to play.
Even with having to play him last year, KU was markedly worse with him on the floor vs off. People will blames the turnovers against Duke and rightfully so but Garrett was a big part of the loss as well.
Unfortunately Marcus is basically Jamari on steroids.

I thought Wilson was gone or going to have to improve rapidly before his injury. Now I think there is a little more breathing room. But it’s going to be hard to keep everyone committed happy.
Might be easier if Agbaji goes pro but he's so wildly inconsistent and needs to get a better feel for the game.
BeddieKU23 said:
I know it was Monmouth but Silvio showed improved 4 man skills. Hit a 3, looked comfortable handling the ball. If he gets comfortable out there maybe he shows more of a 4 game going forward. I do agree though that Gethro likely doesn't see the court much next season if Silvio is back
Something to follow going forward. I do think there is a great chance Silvio stays.
If the roster ends up being the following..
1-2: Thompson, Harris, Jossell
1-4: Garrett, Tyon, Braun
3-4: Agbaji, Enaruna, Wilson
4-5: Silvio, Mitch
5: Dave, Gethro
I think Jossell and Gethro both take a RS. We'd also have two pretty good players not playing much at all. At this time I couldn't say who that would end up being but Bill isn't going 11 deep in tight games.
BeddieKU23 said:
That was for Jossell I believe.
Staff is after Frank Anselem as he may reclassify into 20. Reading some things it would sound as if they prefer he'd stay in 21 where they would have the best chance of landing him. If he goes into 20 looks like LSU is the front runner
Yeah, I got to know about Jossell in advance due to a friendship not that it was even really a secret.
I hope you guys liked his commitment video edit. :D
Hard to see Anselem getting away from LSU regardless.
BeddieKU23 said:
Probably however it depends what happens after the season with Silvio I'd imagine. If Gethro can put on a good base of strength and weight by next fall then maybe that changes things. Probably still looking at a player a few years away from making a big impact but maybe he gets on campus and surprises with his athletic ability and shooting touch..
I do think it depends a lot on Silvio. If Silvio is still here Gethro is the 4th 5 man on the roster.

I was all set to post an update but it appears they withheld Tyon from their double header this weekend due to his injury in the last game.
@Crimsonorblue22 Bench guy so far.
@wrwlumpy Weathermax!!
@FarmerJayhawk including our one post signee even if he is a project.
Might be in the market for another big in this class.

@FarmerJayhawk I'm just annoyed. This yr is about what I expected but still hate to see it.
@FarmerJayhawk good football teams are a bad match up. LSU thriving without Les now.
What in the world
Miles to go...
