I think Newman is staying, but there were swirling rumours/fake news that he would test the waters. He and his dad promised Self 1 year, which is why I put him in a different group than the bigger question marks.

Their only joy is watching KU lose in the tournament. At least ISU sometimes gets in the S16 I guess.
Not sure who was cheering harder for Oregon.... Oregon fans or KSU/MIZ/ISU fans...
Some sites = TIGERBOARD?
Gone - Mason, Lucas, Josh, Bragg
??? - Svi
Staying - Doke, Mitch, Vick, Graham, Newman
Sad tweet from Frank: 🐦 View Tweet
You have nothing to apologize for Landen: 🐦 View Tweet
As soon as I see anything concrete on players I will post it here.
In a competing for a championship sense I would agree. Duval would change that but I believe he was never really considering KU.
Ran into a pack of cheetahs. Bell was just such a mismatch for Landen unfortunately.
Do you think next year's team is 98-99 bad? I think a lot depends on who stays and who goes.
Hope you are right.
I would 100% take Graham + Svi returning, and Bragg transferring. Not saying they can't all come back, I just think due to all the recruiting misses that Self needs the guards to return moreso.
Don't think you can afford to play Doke and Coleby at the same time. Preston with either one though.
I would love to see him add multiple developmental players if the room is there. The less reliance on the 2018 class the better.
I have no doubt Self will add players.
October-ish? :grinning:
Not playing at all tonight says a lot.
How much of this do you think is on Self? Obviously his record in EE games speaks for itself at this point. And even in the win against Davidson, that was a really bad performance offensively. Izzo and K have been great in the EE, but obviously they are far from perfect and proved that this year yet again. The frustration is that this really feels like 2011 again with the title right there for the taking for Self/KU.
They have nothing else to do.
Bragg transfer rumours swirling.
I can't predict the tourney. I'll definitely have fun watching though. Some people seem to think KU is in for a double digit loss type season, I don't think that will be the case.
Probably need Graham back at this point to be a real contender. On the other hand, we will be going from 0 McDAA in the paint (sorry Bragg you no longer count) to two next year (Preston, Doke).
Next year will be another fun ride.
No.
Newman will be very good.
Not sure.
Probably but if not then a transfer candidate.
I think he would be the 4th big to start the year, but could play himself into the 3rd big.
Don't think so.
Azu's main role will be defense, screens and dunks. I don't think he will have developed enough to where he can score in the low post consistently when guarded.
Hope so. Vick should be a starter.
Yes provided he is eligible.
Depends on who else is added this Spring.
Probably not going to be a similar team offensively next year.
Cancer freaking sucks.
That KU team was loaded in the post!
08 team has 4 guys that are still in the NBA. Everyone that played minutes for that team had a pro future, though Sherron didn't realize it.
Quite frankly, this team overachieved a fair bit this year, in large part due to Self. This team just had basically nothing inside. This match-up completely exposed KU and even then KU would have had a real chance if they weren't ice cold.
I love Lucas, but KU's post issues finally caught up with the team tonight.
Outside of Josh, Oregon is considerably more athletic than KU as it turned out. Played a huge role IMO.
All of the classic Phog trolls coming out of the woodwork. Not sure why I'm browsing there right now.
Lots of fake news that Self is retiring wtf.
Yep. Looking forward to next season now. Tough way for Frank to go out, he deserved better.
I should probably log off twitter yeesh.
Aaaaand some Bill should be on the hot seat posts on the other boards. LOL. What a joke.
Not blaming Bill exactly, just mentioning it. Though oddly enough, I can't recall an EE game where KU shot well. I'd say it's an anomaly more than anything.

Was this thread a pre-emptive strike ?? WTH for ?
Was hoping for the ole jinx but alas.
Kid is a stone cold killer.
aaaaand Oregon lay-up
Dorsey is fantastic. I was disappointed when KU cooled on him in recruiting.
Team is just playing tight. Also a bit tired at this pt.
KU 0-9 from three this half btw
@approxinfinity said:
That's right.. so many empty possessions by Oregon. We figured em out, now let's draw blood on the other end!
Yeah defense is not really the problem agree.
Mason was all over Dorsey on that three too. Just can't defend that.
Yeah that was a nice shot.
KU should have landed him lol.
Apparently the refs just don't feel like callin it sad to say!

7 points total between JJ and DG....
Just can't win a game with this from them against a good team.
Missouri fans already talking shit, fantastic.
Like, KU has got stops this half, just can't friggin score.
IT's not like Oregon is even playing great this half. I could live with that.
36% from the field and 23% from three. The classic recipe.
At least he will be back I guess?
@KirkIsMyHinrich I've turned on black metal.
This is a butt clinched kind of loss. :disappointed:
The EE is a problematic round for Bill.
