Good point on McCormack's PER in conference play. I think if he was able to play, get his legs under him some, we'd be satisfied with his play. Self seems married to the 4/1 now (which I just don't think matches this team very well).
I am not sure but I think a mix would be best. Mitch and KJ can be serviceable at the 4.

The K-St game was clear evidence that Vick cannot be trusted. He was toxic on the court Tuesday.
Self won't do it but I wonder if just straight kicking Vick off the team would be a net positive right now.

Another gem of a game from Grimes. He hit two 3's. One of those was 10 feet long and banked in off the glass at 100 mph. He had five turnovers. He had four fouls. He had 1 rebound.
How was this kid the #8 recruit in the country and was a lottery pick on every board before the season started?
When does Bill put him on the bench? We have seen it before where Bill puts high ranked stars into the deep freeze. Why not Grimes? Not judging. Honestly asking. What is going on here?
Remember when people said the 2018 class was garbage? They were right.

Giving this class a 9/10 on paper. I was a tad underwhelmed by the early period guys, but Les and co. killed it and then some today. I'm not sure yet how they added this many guys (i.e. pulling counters from 2020) but all the guys are quality players. Love the focus on big, physical guys with tools. Les and his staff can develop talent, and we got as many talented guys as possible today. APH and Kenny Logan are prime examples. Flipping Potter was huge. Kid has a nonstop motor and fills a need on defense. Also love pulling all the DL. Les got more HS DL to sign today than Beaty did in 3 years. Going to move to OL in 2020. Bottom line, we needed an injection of talent at QB, WR, DL, LB, and DB and filled every single need with quality players.
Yep. 4 HS DL from what I can see. A couple JUCO guys as well who will hopefully be ready to contribute.
GAAAAHHHHT DAM LES

Flipped Gavin Potter from KSU. Good looking LB out of Oklahoma.
No fucking way
This as good of a class as could be expected given the circumstances.
Woodrow said:
Velton Gardner has also committed and signed. Was committed to Texas Tech. Today has been a great day for KU football!
Amen! Need this after last night...

Dedric tonight showed why he has ZERO NBA ability. He will see guys Wade's size with more speed every possession in the NBA. He isnt capable of getting a shot off against that. I bet he is back next year.
There are other places to make good money playing basketball professionally.
This is what I suspect will happen with Dedric. Though I'd take him back in a second if KU can't land Hurt or Precious.
Woodrow said:
Moore and Mitch were the only players that were good tonight. Devon was OK, but had too many turnovers and forced shots.
I think Dotson is doing just enough to stick around in college.
I've talked about processing Moore but games like tonight give me some pause. KJ has gotta go if Dedric does though.
Too many Self doghouse players on this team.
I think Vick graduating will be major addition by subtraction.

How many schools charge the court when they beat a team trailing them?
GMTA
Imagine being in first place and rushing the court.
Can you imagine KSU fans if a KU player dunked like that to close out a game against them? lol
mayjay said:
Special trip and strip D by KSU.
If that non-call doesn't tell one all they need to know about the refs in this game...
Well, had a real chance before the d went braindead and gave KSU an open corner 3.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
KState has been granted foul-immunity for the last 10 minutes of the game.
Yep, they can do w/e they want on defense. Not that KU is executing well but still.
Game. Blouses.
Woodrow said:
Unbelievable. Grab a board someone.
nah
Mawien has nothing for Dedric.
Woodrow said:
20 turnovers
Zero toughness and ball control on the road with this team.
looooool ok refs
Wade gets to whack Dedric as expected.
5 pts in 7 minutes looool
BeddieKU23 said:
I like those fake fouls
Meanwhile Dotson keeps getting hacked.

We look so bad on offense all of a sudden.
Any coincidence it happened when Vick checked in for Moore, lol?
Vick's plus/minus is -16 for the record.
Moore has absolutely been better than Vick this game on both ends. The zone helps minimize Charlie's defensive failings.
Gotta pull Vick.
bskeet said:
The turnovers are absolutely going to give me a coronary.
KSU is good defensively but this is absurd.
kjayhawks said:
@mayjay My god is trump going over his tax returns lol
The biggest loser of the SOTU is grammar.
This looks like a game between two teams that exit the tournament early.
Bruce Weber before the game: WE ARE ABSOLUTELY PREPARED FOR THE ZONE WHAT A PREPOSTEROUS QUESTION!!!
Bruce Weber during the game: 
I've never once in my life thought KSU would beat KU until tonight. I hope KU keeps it close.

It hit me like a lightening bolt : our next coach is ... Devonte Graham. Don't hate on this idea...I could be on to something...The second his pro career ends, I want him on the staff learning all he'll need to do to take over when Coach retires.
Would take, though I don't think Self holds on that long.
Fwiw, Naadir Tharpe actually is coaching right now. Who would have thought that?
KUSTEVE said:
@FarmerJayhawk Great post. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree then, if the NCAA could've done this at any time. I was thinking Long's actions were the lightening bolt that caused it. I just can't figure out why the NCAA would ask us to declare Silvio ineligible, and the Adidas bag man a booster in the first place. Isn't that walking us to the slaughterhouse?
Never work with the NCAA is the answer.

New target. HS teammate of Precious. https://247sports.com/Player/Harlond-Beverly-46040841/ ↗
Stealing recruits from MSU is always a plus.
Even if Dotson and Grimes stay it would be nice to add another guard.
STEVE and HEM are in agreement.
The end is nigh.
@KUSTEVE The passing seemed a lot better today, plus guys made shots. Now due to the passing many of the looks were fairly open but still...

Nice to see Charlie recover from some boneheaded shots early and learn to be a positive impact when his shot isn't falling. Dude finished with 6 assists. His shot is as bad as Garrett % wise.
No 2 shots of Charlie's look alike. His form and his approach to shooting is broken.
That open lay-up was good tho. I think that his offense has to be try an penetrate, kick it out if defense rotates in and only shoot OPEN threes.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Grimes with 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and no turnovers. I like Grimes the passer.
Great to see him actually contribute.
My only negative from today would be Dave. He got set up on a platter twice and couldn't finish. I hope he toughs it out at KU. Almost any other recruiting class and he isn't a McDAA but he can be a good player in time.
kjayhawks said:
Ochai had a Double double, his rebounding and defense is great for a kid thats just played his 8th game I believe. He was a huge get at this point, a diamond in the rough.
I felt like Ochai was just okay today. Didn't do anything to hurt the team but missed a few shots. Then I saw the box score and he had 10/10/3. He's a really good athlete but also a smart player, great combo.
Chris Teahan 2 minutes played 2 3pa. Attaboy.
BeddieKU23 said:
Are u kidding me dumb ass refs
Did they call an intentional foul on Dotson? Because that'd be full dumbass
lol
Yeah I don't think TTU had a bunch of fouls that went uncalled. Mostly okay officiated game. Though that dunk for TTU should have counted. Definitely wasn't a charge.
KUSTEVE said:
It's refreshing to not have the announcer talk about "how to beat Kansas" the whole game. I haven't seen 1 Dook or Tucky reference, either.
I'm not a huge fan of Onions but he is a nice change from Fran to be sure.
@BeddieKU23 Who could have predicted KU would play like the Warriors in the first half?
