Doke still wasn't near any draft boards the last time I checked. However after the season we can probably expect a big update on those.
I don't think Moore made a terrible choice coming to KU, I just don't think much should be expected of him and especially next year. He should be around for two seasons after that though, so there is time.
@Kcmatt7 I don't think he has grown any since he committed.
Also @wissox while he will need to reign it in a bit and going for another crossover instead of just shooting it is a bit much, Self's FF teams at KU have both had multiple guys that just dripped with that level of swag. It's knife edge stuff but hopefully Markese is just the right amount of crazy like Mario, Tyshawn, TRob etc...
Are trying to make the tournament at Loyola (IL)

Custer after being dumped by Iowa State has had a nice couple years there.
@wissox People want to compare him to Sherron because Chicago, but Mason is actually a better comp. Not saying he will have the same kind of career at KU but he has a lot of the same attributes including mental toughness and great athleticism.
@approxinfinity 2 years and assess I think.
@Statmachine @BeddieKU23 I would be surprised if Moore even came close to matching his Cal numbers in a season at KU ever, let alone next year. He, like Cunliffe was insurance. Notice he didn't scare off Dotson or Grimes. I wish him nothing but the best in his time at KU but I think he is a bad fit for Self. Also Moore may have played in a bigger league than the Lawsons but he played for a wet napkin of a coach. Tubby might be abrasive at this point he he could still coach. I think like Beddie he is a bench guy next year. A great option to have though. If Vick and Newman are gone maybe he sneaks into 15 minutes a game or so.
Specifically to Statmachine KU is one scholarship over for next year already. Somebody has to go.
ESPN does not appear to be backing down.
@HighEliteMajor If I was a UVA fan I'd appreciate the winning. As a fan of basketball that doesn't care about UVA though...barf.

Oh dear, kids from UK aren't going to stand a chance are they?
it's been a hot minute since we've had a guy with the kind of effective post moves repertoire Dedric has.
That line-up seems good.

For those that haven't seen it. Virginia was down 5 with 6.1 seconds and won.
I need to see this...
He's one of the best post players we've had under Self. Certainly from a skill perspective.
Doke will try, I just don't think he sticks.
@FarmerJayhawk 40-0
Not exactly shocking but there we have it.

@Gunman There's going to be at least one non senior leave the program after this season. Whether it's an early entrant or a transfer, KU currently has 14 scholarships committed to next season which means someone, my money would be on either Vick or Cunliffe, transfers out of the program.
This is correct. It became the case once Agbaji committed. Given that KU is still recruiting Romeo and took some other looks, there is speculation 2 will leave. I'd love to see Newman hang around though.

Matt Scott saying Dante (2020 center from Sunrise) could reclass to 2019. Mercy let’s hope so. He’d vault right to #1 on our board, and would be the best replacement for Udoka
In the words of @jayballer73 "MERCY"
Done!

The big difference between KU and Iowa State is potential NBA talent. From last year's ISU squad, you had Monte Morris. That was it from an NBA talent standpoint. So even though the numbers suggest similarities, KU has Doke, Graham, Svi and, depending on the day, Vick and Newman. That means when KU needs to close out games, they can lean on some big time players that ISU just didn't have last year.
I hate to break it to you but there isn't an NBA player on our roster. Maybe Silvio develops and with his body has a chance.
If Dedric can develop his trey ball he might stick. I assume you are only talking about active players though. In which case I agree, I have a hard time seeing any of our players this year hanging around the NBA.
Even if he is guilty why come clean right?
KU players play with amputated limbs regularly.
I linked to an article talking about the broken foot. Was I supposed to get a note from his surgeon?
@jaybate-1.0 Recently in a discussion with me you claimed TTU was faking injuries when it was all documented and one of the players had a broken foot. Then later you said KU players play through those injuries, but I can scarcely recall the last time a KU player played with a broken bone. So forgive me if I am a little weary at this point.

This is funnier than what I meant.
JAG = Just a guy meaning a replacement level player.

@jaybate-1.0 Burden of proof should be on the person making the claim.
Why?
But thanks for sharing.
Why should someone be able to make an outrageous claim and the defense is simply like @mayjay said "it's common knowledge". That doesn't work. Not if you want to have a meaningful discussion. Other people shouldn't have to fact check for someone that's making a claim, especially when it's very likely hogwash.
@wissox It's worth watching. I assume it will be up to stream soon if it isn't already.
@Kcmatt7 Yeah Mitch isn't really a center at all. Doke is the big difference between this KU team and that ISU team. The stats are similar but that ISU team didn't have anything but JAGs in the post.
@Kcmatt7 He was good for the league. He also helped Self with some stuff when Self was making the change to the 4 guard line-up. Which makes it extra funny that ISU fans hate KU so much.
This has been mentioned before, but there is hard data now. Thanks to Jesse Newell for posting this on twitter. This is KU this year compared to Iowa State last year. ISU this year is obviously terrible.
What does this say about Self as a coach compared to Prohm? Also Graham's toughness and desire to win.

Who wants to bet that somehow, some way, we are set up to meet MU in the 2nd round -- 1 vs. 8/9, 2 vs. 7/10? Seems like the easiest bracketology prediction we could make.
If I still had a farm, I'd bet it on this.
@jaybate-1.0 Burden of proof should be on the person making the claim.
@Kcmatt7 I'm just saying that I don't think AWIII was told he can't stay. UNLIKE Tharpe and Greene after their JR years.
I do think Self made a mistake picking Greene over White for minutes.
@JayHawkFanToo Correct. Didn't even offer and we offer everybody.

St Mary’s is a legitimate top 25 or even top 20 team, a 10 seed would be ridiculous.
Agree! They should be a 5-6 seed. Current projection is a 10 however...
St Marys is going to be a 10 seed or so which is incredibly stupid.
@JayHawkFanToo All fiction no malice.
There was actually a documentary on Orr produced in part by D Wade that aired recently on Fox.
Oh I see this was mentioned in the OP. I should read more. :joy:
@HighEliteMajor @Kcmatt7 Proof that White was forced out? We had 11 scholarship players in the season after he left. I remember hearing some stuff about his dad being the force behind the move. Admittedly he wasn't playing much. He also went to Syracuse after Nebraska so he moved around a lot.
Awesome and congrats. I follow him on twitter and he has done quite a good job building up this program to a competitive level.

Jacobs gonna get KU a title. Dude is a winner
Just had 23 points in a tough OT playoff loss. Didn't see anyone that posted assist stats. This is the same Orr team that played tough with an absolutely loaded Simeon team for the Chicago city title a few days ago, so they are pretty good.
@jayballer73 He won't be coming back.
@DoubleDD Don't worry, he won't.

Maybe this would matter if KU actually recruited him and wasn't full in the post next year.

@dylans wow. Whole bunch of saying nothing and posing with an iPhone.
He has apparently been towing the line, doing and saying the right things at KU. Maybe he got his butt kicked and it adjusted his head better.
