With Dotson creeping up draft boards another PG could be needed
At best just one more year of Dotson I think.

Nova is a blueblood. Same amount of Natties as KU!
International players are definitely coming to Gonzaga for free.

You sure this team is gonna mop the floor with us @BShark ? I'm not feeling it.
Easily. Light work for Jay Wright to DRUB Bill Self.
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes. Hasn't played.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WR COACH HIRE. HELL YES. CROOOOOOOOTIN.

I think Dedric will be back. He just doesn't have the athleticism to get it done on that end of the floor. He's not fast enough to keep up with perimeter guys, and the 4's in the NBA will expose his size.
Grimes needs to get the ball and get downhill more often. He can't seem to find his place in this offense yet. He also may need to crash the offensive glass. Sometimes a few effort type plays can get you back on track offensively.
Dedric being back would get me really excited.
approxinfinity said:
@BShark will Charlie and McBride be enough when Dotson leaves us? I can't remember, do we have another likely PG commit?
BIG trouble if Dotson does go early. Self should do everything in his power to get a 2nd year.
This next draft is sooooo weak is the biggest issue for guys returning.

Baring something unforseen expect Kendall Briles to become FSU's new OC.
GROSS
Definitely feels like #1 by default. Then get dumpstered by Nova and we don't have to worry about this discussion for awhile.
That Les Miles is a thinker. Jeff Long too. Love it.
@FarmerJayhawk Getting both would be amazing.

How about Urban Meyer for Co head coach? I know it will never happen, but goodness, why the heck not?
Even if it were possible it gets a hell no from me. He is a bad human being.

I think it’s a great hire, I know they didn’t have a great season offensively compared to last season but they had to basically start over up front and still put up better numbers than we did playing in the best division in CFB. I’m being told that both Tony Hull and Clint Bowen are going to return as assistants, they both are currently out recruiting. I think everyone agrees Hull needs to stay and I know Bowen hasn’t done great at DC but I think he’s a solid Safeties coach. He had a much better year this season than in the past. I’m fine with him remaining here just not as an DC.
Ugh. I want no part of Bowen staying. We can do better at literally any position on defense than him. I don't care if he loves KU. I also love KU but shouldn't be on the coaching staff.
CHANGE THE CULTURE.
Bowen has to go. Period.

Probably going to land Thomas MacVittle, a JuCo QB. #1 pro style JuCo QB per 247. I consider him more of a dual threat guy. VERY athletic for his size (6'5 230) and has been consistently clocked under 4.6.
I was hoping KU could get back in with Legendre but I would bet this JUCO kid is better than anybody KU has on the roster at QB.
@Texas-Hawk-10 No :airplane: zone.
I LOVE JAYDEN ALREADY. GAHHHHHTTTTT DAMMMMMMMMN.
"I want to change the culture," Russell said, asked what he'd like KU fans to know about him. "As a person, I want them to know that as soon as I come here, we’re going to change the culture and we’re going to change everything. We’re going to start winning games and we’re going to run Kansas."
He continued.
"Like, K-State’s not even going to be in the question anymore." Russell said. "So I just hope people know that.”
When La Canfora is writing this, you can lock it up.
Agbaw will announce January 9th. He just posted this on his twitter account.
@jayballer73 Russell + Agbaw is the start of a toughhhhh secondary.
KU is going hard to flip Garber too.
I would bet on Valerian Agbaw JR committing to KU as well. He visits on the 14th. Chevis Jackson was all over him when Jackson was at Ball State.
Jayden Russell to KU.
Woodrow said:
@stoptheflop he was committed to North Dakota St. he’s a big kid 6’5. Not sure if he will project to a TE or possibly DE.
South Dakota
KU doesn't really deserve it to me, but the record is impressive...
stoptheflop said:
@Woodrow I'm not familiar with Fairchild. Do you have additional information about him, like position, etc.?
TE. From Andale. That's a KSUtard area iirc.
Tennessee new #1 tomorrow?
I died multiple times during this game.
FarmerJayhawk said:
The next couple days are going to be fun, guys
Commit train about to start chuggin.
KU had a big Kenpom boost to start the season due to perception. KU actually kinda sucks, so sites like Kenpom are catching up to that.

It feels like we won a game that we didn't have any business winning.
Several of those already.
Feels like a shocking early tournament exit kind of team.
I'll just copy paste this segment for those without an Athletic sub.
- Bad post defense
Now the bad …
It’s not a good sign when mid-game a coach decides he needs to double-team the post. It’s basically admitting that your guys cannot guard their guys, and that’s the white flag Self threw up against the Aggies.
“I thought our bigs made their bigs look really good tonight,” Self said.
For anyone who was wondering if Kansas could be better without Azubuike, go back and re-watch KU’s defensive possessions in this game. The answer is no. KU’s best defense has been played this year with Azubuike on the floor, because he protects the rim and eliminates the thought of playing through the post. Only seven times has an opponent finished a possession with a post-up against Azubuike this season, per Synergy, and those possessions have yielded just four points. It’s inefficient offense.
But with Azubuike sidelined with his ankle injury, it was obviously a big part of New Mexico State’s game plan, attacking Lawson in particular.
Lawson could not handle NMSU’s Ivan Aurrecoechea, who scored 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting, most of which came with Lawson guarding him. NMSU’s other post player, sophomore Johnny McCants, scored 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting, his first college game in double figures.
Things got even worse when KU started doubling. The Jayhawks gave up some wide open 3s when their guards tried to dig in.
And when KU tried to double with a second big, the defensive rotations were often late. Two of the most frustrating possessions for Self were these two late when KU doubled with less than 10 seconds left on the shot clock, which is a no-no.
The good news for Kansas is its next opponent, Villanova, rarely plays through its bigs in the post. The Wildcats do invert the floor and play through their guards — much like they did last year with Jalen Brunson — but Jay Wright is probably not going to change up what he does to put his big men in unfamiliar territory.
Still, the larger takeaway from this game for Lawson is he needs to be better at the defensive end, particularly without Azubuike on the floor. Whether it’s through the post or other actions, the scouting report on Kansas is that Lawson is a guy you can attack.
It’s still early in the season and Self has a pretty good track record when it comes to building elite defenses, but Lawson is going to need to really improve for this team to get there.

Player of the game: Dedric. 2nd place: Mitch. 3rd place: Marcus Garrett for shotputting a 3 ball in.
When some Spanish derpface goes 7-10 against you in the paint you don't get player of the game. Dedric made big buckets down the stretch but NMSU would not have been in the game with an athletic, defensive big.
Garrett shot better from three than our 5* CG, Chuck and Vick? WHAT WAS THIS GAME?
Bwag said:
Garret 2nd highest scorer tonight. Who'd have thought.
Yeah... This team needs Vick and Grimes to play well to be good.
MIDMAJOR KANSAS WITH A STUNNING UPSET OF NATIONAL POWER NMSU
Crimsonorblue22 said:
Chris Jans is gross
Marsha disciple so yeah.
Dedric might be the worst defensive big to play real minutes for Self. I am not joking.
FTS
Welp...up 1 with the ball a minute to go. CLOSE THE GAME.
THAT DID NOT HIT THE RIM YOU IDIOTS
I predict NMSU will work it inside to much success.
NMSU flops a lot tbh.
Woof. KU gets wrecked inside, then runs bad offense.
DanR said:
Is there a guy named Grimes on this team?
Bill Self saw the "Grimes is still a top 10 pick" article probably.

Gotta make throws
Amen sister.

It's Vick.

Thought you were talking about a different play.
