He's going to be great before it's all said and done.

Vick hasn't done ANYTHING today and has been in almost the whole game. It's bizarre.
Silvio is playing about as well as we could hope for honestly.
College sucks. That was an and one for Silvio.
Ok refs
Oh Graham, that's too far. Leave those shots for Trae Young.
We make Solomon look like a stud.
Effort? That's new.

@BeddieKU23 Other than early Malik drive, settling for jumpers, no defensive intensity - they are scoring VERY easily - and giving up ORBs (season long problem)...
The defensive effort is quite poor.
@BeddieKU23 Yep nothing has changed. This OSU team dominates this KU team. Lack of toughness and pride.
That's a technical foul if a KU player does it. lol
lol
Fran isn't wrong, Smith loves playing us good lord.
Has a team triple swept KU before? Because it's going to happen today.
@Crimsonorblue22 While they are at it let's get Smith and McGriff fouled up too.
Newman seems engaged today.
@JayHawkFanToo Interesting how much it scales. You really want to be a 4 seed or higher.

What else would you expect from them?
Some Missouri fans recently showed up to one of Agbaji's games just to heckle him because he picked KU. They are very mentally disturbed.
TCU is really good at missing lay-ups.
@StLJhawk Can't believe they didn't foul. I was told Bruce is a great in-game coach....
Of course KSU TCU goes to OT...
@Kcmatt7 bingo
Grimes Texas Gatorade POTY. Back to back recruits for KU that won that.
@RockkChalkk I'm hopeful Grimes knows something.
It would be funny if this is the game against OSU that we win, but I am....
PREDICTING A LOSS
@DoubleDD Iowa State fans! :joy:
@DoubleDD Oh for sure, it's a big part of why I never plan to move.
Much like NE KS compared to the rest of the state (esp western KS) California has distinct areas. I wouldn't want to live in LA, Oakland, Compton etc... but northern California is very nice.
Silvio, not knowing half the plays is already better than Mitch. And I love Mitch but he has a ceiling.
@BeddieKU23 I would assume we will see some Sammy boy.

Fantastic article on JRE.

Would have to be okay playing off of the ball. Would move Grimes to Wing. Probably. I definitely don't hate having two PGs playing together. Especially ones as talented as Dotson and Williams would be.
I think there is a very real chance he ends up at AZ still. Unless their staff actually gets terminated.
@BeddieKU23 SOURCE ON THE GLUE SNIFFING PLZ :joy:

Oh woe is us...lol. If we get to the Sweet 16, then we should have him back that week. All this stuff about not having a chance is a little premature, in my opinion. I think De Sousa has looked really good, and maybe the team rallies around a man down, and gets us into the 2nd weekend.
Depends on the draw honestly. I know I keep harping on St Marys but they have a 6'11'' man mountain that averages 21 and 10 a game. That would be really tough to handle without Doke.
De Sousa is going to be very good. He isn't really ready now, but he's about to get a hell of a trial by fire. I hope for the best out of him. You can tell he has the tools.

KU running virtually every play at their open scrimmage for Silvio De Sousa. Mitch Lightfoot very involved too. This is the most practice-like open session I can remember KU running ahead of a Big 12 tourney. Clearly trying to get the most of every minute.
@jayballer73 Yes I think this staff would lie. If the NCAAT selection committee for example knew Doke was for sure out, it could impact seeding. So that's motive even...

@BShark Or we may have to try to beat an 8/9 seed without him. Doable, depending on who it is, but certainly not a given. I see more zone defense in our future.
Might have to try anyway but I think we lose the 2nd game if Doke can't go.
@BeddieKU23 If he does play that means he is at least allowed to make his own decision on it unlike Embiid.
@jayballer73 This same coaching staff said Embiid would be back for the tournament too, plus played Perry hurt against WSU (with this exact injury). Trust is earned. The typical timeline for this injury is two weeks. Doke might play while still hurt, but he won't be the same.
@BeddieKU23 I'm just saying it's not like we were winning the title with Doke anyway.

Season over. Typical of every year
We don't even get to pretend we have a chance now. Maybe Silvio shows out and this helps for next year. It's not like prospects were great with Doke anyway but it still hurts.
He won't be fully recovered by then. But we had Perry play with this injury in the tournament before he was fully healed as well. He never did look right. I think bare minimum we should at least try to beat the 15 or 16 seed w/o him.
I doubt he recovers in time to play in the NCAAT. Ugh.
Apparently the staff got in touch with Brandon Williams after he decommitted from Arizona.

@BShark I think he looks more put together size-wise than LeGerald, but equally as athletic. At least when you compare HS mixtapes.
If he can shoot at a 35-40% clip from trey, especially from the corner, he will flourish as a Wing player here. KU is going to have one chippy, gritty, tough bunch over the next 4 or 5 seasons. I can't wait.
He shot it very well this year but KS HS hoops isn't exactly a great barometer. You can tell he has already been in the weight room.
Garrett, McCormack, Agbaji and Dotson are all guys you hear are anything it takes to win guys. Proved true with Garrett already. Have heard good things about KJ there too. No slight on other players, these guys just have that EXTRA, uncommon grit.
@Kcmatt7 lol
He's going to be a good player for us in time I think. He is a hard worker and his game finally caught up to his athleticism this year. He is an above average shooter and needs to work on his handle. His rebounding stats speak to his effort, even in HS Doke was a poor rebounder.
@BeddieKU23 I like Malik Hall a lot too. Purdue is ramping it up for him.
