@BShark So, my take is we will have an open scholarship and we see potential for development. If that development doesn't merit the PT that the kid wants....he transfers. Up to him. Also, provides competition for Harris at PG.

I found Bill's quote (in the post of mine you replied to) to be pretty good and telling. He was completely honest with the kid and if I were a betting man the staff wasn't taking him until they were told they were out for KK Robinson. It sounds like he understands, and he has been wanting to be a Jayhawk for a long time. Time will tell how this all goes.

Competition is always good. From what I've read and seen Harris and Jossell are of similar build and listed at the same position but are completely different players.

Harris is a true and pure PG that will need to develop a three point shot to reach his full potential. Looking at his AAU stats from his last AAU stint over 14 games he only scored 7 a game on 58% shooting while only attempting 2 threes. What you really like about his AAU stats are 46 rebounds and 103 (!!!) assists vs just 31 turnovers while running the show. 26 steals indicate a desire to play defense as well.

Jossell on the other hand is more in the Frank/Markese Jacobs mold of "needs to develop into a PG". One thing I've noticed is he is absolutely not afraid to pull up from anywhere to take a three if left alone. He's a natural scorer but needs to develop better passing instincts. We are still waiting on Ochai to develop better basketball instincts in general (he is still just mainly an athlete playing basketball to me), so it could take time.

Sampson is playing Grimes at the wing. Howling.

Night all. Dunks Over Bedtime!!!!! See you next week. Stay safe.

I like these early games. Plenty of time to wind down. :D

well I'm all ready to spew some hyperbole about Enaruna and Braun. I'm forcing myself not to, because its Monmouth.

Tristan has been good all year. Not sure he gets to the point this year were he is giving you a ton of offense but he does a lot of good things that contribute to winning. He's much better than I expected.

Brannen Greene out there for Monmouth?

approxinfinity said:

Do you think we'll see Devon off ball a lot with Marcus handling? Seems like a deliberate effort to go there tonight. Last year, Devon was always ball dominant.

I like it, helps keep Devon fresh.

HOLY SHIT TRISTAN

Baylor tied with the Texas St Bobcats at halftime playing at home.

Imagine thinking Scotty can win the league.

DCHawker said:

Team shooting better than 57% - and that's with Ochai 1-9 (and Garrett 1-4)...

Moss, Braun, Doke and Dave have been pretty efficient. :D

TEA TIME

Isaiah Moss

DOKE ON THE FAST BREAK LOOOOOL

Ochai wyd

TRASH REF. GIVE THAT TO SILVIO DAMN IT.

Let's get Dot and Doke out of the game.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Wait, was this the team that Kansas St was losing to by 9 at halftime???

This will never fail to be amazing.

Ochai has been concerning but we can sustain him being average over the year I think. Huge thanks to Tristan for being better than expected.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

So next season should be pretty fun.

I'm going to enjoy this season but if only Dot and the SRs leave next year will be very saucy. Everyone else gets a year older and better and we add two real guys.

OH MY TRISTAN

That Dave jumper looked nice.

Woodrow said:

WVU picked up a nice win against Pitt

Excellent

@FarmerJayhawk Didn't expect to take a shot tonight in my take a drink every time a big makes a jumper drinking game but here we are.

approxinfinity said:

That sounds like a bigass burger to be giving away for free. I guess winning by 50 is pretty rare.

Basically only possible in exhibitions and sub 300 Kenpom teams.

Duke won by 11.

approxinfinity said:

We're not going to score 59 more are we?

Given we are already in advanced garbage time it's hard to say. You want to keep guys sharp but this team has been Pitt State bad. How early does Bill go to the walk-ons here?

What can you even say at this point.

Oh right. Monmouth 29 KSU 20 halftime score. WTF.

approxinfinity said:

Enaruna is going to be our best offensive player at some point. I don't think he'll last 4 years.

Not much of a chance of that with his measurables and so far the jumper is better then most thought it would be. 3 yr player max if lucky

Year three in a KU uniform would absolutely be a blessing.

Isaiah Moss

The offense is generating reaaaally good looks.

Isaiah Moss

BeddieKU23 said:

He will continue to get more important as the season goes on

You can tell he is still a bit hampered. Hopefully it doesn't linger all year.

@Woodrow Amen brother.

Doke said NO there.

approxinfinity said:

you know its a blowout when everyone else in my house is already reading a book and its 8 minutes to go in the first half.

Only us true crazies watch every second of games like this.

Bill started line-up trolling early and Monmouth actually went on a run.

Yikes.

Guys, you might wanna get a guy on Braun.

OKAY TRISTAN

Reminder that this Monmouth team was up NINE on KSU at half in Mancrappin...

Isaiah Moss

Oh no Tristan.

KU is cooking. The misses from three have been solid looks.

BeddieKU23 said:

@BShark

Always need these games. Texas Tech plays about a dozen of them every year

Their schedule is an absolute embarrassment.

BeddieKU23 said:

I feel bad for monmouth

Otoh they were paid for this.

Our next opponent is also a mid major but MUCH better.

approxinfinity said:

Nice to see Dotson seems 100% healthy.

Yeah, ankle seems good now.

Monmouth is not good.

Heeeere weeee gooooooooo.

Silvio starting.

Duke struggling with Georgia State.

No injuries plz
