@BeddieKU23 PLEASE tell me you're kidding.
I wish I was. His brother played at St Johns a few years back. I'll take Precious, given the choice and he's a way better player then his older brother

Romeo still couldn't shoot the 3 worth a-beans. Worse then Grimes actually. Besides his 3 he probably was a superior player though which I think would have benefited this team.
Agree in general Self has lost a lot of his Plan A & Plan B options recently. Grimes & Dotson's were Plan A's. Agbaji fell into their lap. McCormack is someone they built a relationship with for a while and became a focus. They knew they could build around him, he's going to be a 4 year guy most likely that KU gets tremendous production out of going forward.
Would go a long way if Self could salvage the 2019 class with Plan A's Hurt or Achiuwa, or both. I don't have a good feeling about either but I hope I'm wrong.
JRE and Samuel Williamson were both clear cut misses. Both McDonald's kids now.
Well its better then he's brother's name- God's Gift
How to blow a 4 point lead, written by UCF basketball team. Now on sale.
I think they all cared about winning and losing. It might not have looked that way watching them and there were plenty of times that looked to be the case. Sometimes it takes years and experience for guys to build immune to situations and know how to bounce back. I think the core group of guys that return next year will now have the experience needed to make changes.
I believe in Devon Dotson's ability to run this team. Unless we get some elite recruits this is his team going forward and I think he is a heck of a competitor. He was so good for KU most of the season we didn't even complain about him being a freshman. His game is good already. Hopefully he can make it great next season.
Ochai Agbaji had a great start here then cooled down. The experience he gained is a lot more valuable now then it would have been as a redshirt. He has a chance to take a big step forward. One that needs to gain confidence in his abilities and work on his ball handling.
David McCormack. Some compared him to Landon Lucas when he got here. By the end of the year those comparisons looked laughable. Another that has a lot of things to work on but you can see the tools and you can't teach his size.
Those 3 freshman can shape next years squad. Marcus and Mitch are glue guys. The two incoming recruits are winners who won POY in Arkansas/Kansas this year. They led their teams to state titles.
Self needs to go find talent and "get old". Get some grown men in here to work with his young pups
Does Garrett have a sort of Releford type development left in him as far as shooting?
No matter what we surround Marcus with if he can't shoot he'll continue to make KU easy to guard. In today's game having a starter level player that you don't have to guard on the perimeter is crippling to operating an efficient offense. Maybe we just need to surround him with 4 capable shooters to mask it.
Transfer List hits over 300.
Another intriguing name. Daniel Utomi of Akron is grad transferring. Leading scorer at 14.2 ppg. Averaged 16ppg as a Soph. Made 93 3's this season. 6'6 215, well built combo forward that rebounds well.
Nice stats @Texas-Hawk-10
Defensively Self has work to do. A no-brainer really. How many guarded 3's did Auburn make on Saturday? I don't think there was one. That's a big problem. Villanova was the same issue. Texas Tech & Iowa St other examples from this year.
Offensively he just didn't have the personnel this year. He mentioned being concerned about shooting before the season even started. I guess we should have known then. Vick became an exceptional shooter, he easily was on target for 100 3's on the season and was the one piece of offensive Self couldn't replace after his absence.
The guys lacked confidence in taking shots. I watch other teams just let it fly. We didn't have guys with the green light like we were used to. Vick had it but it took him almost 4 years to get to that level. The offense was so robotic and stagnant and for good teams was easy to guard. We didn't put pressure on teams to guard us. Most guys only looked to score if they were open. This years team was completely different from the trio of Devonte, Svi & Malik. Grimes & Lawson were the only guys that would take contested shots all year long. The guys that come back have a ton of work to put in on the offensive side. Hopefully the two signed newcomers will improve the level of shot making and competitiveness among the veterans.
He's the type of athlete this program needs in the 20 class. I'll have to watch some more but seems like most of his game is inside. He has the body of a hybrid forward currently. Great bounce inside and I like that he can use either hand.
A few years back I snagged the Nike VR Pro set. They have been nice but I don't get to play a ton, maybe a dozen times or so during the summer to fall.
I was looking at the Callaway Apex's a few weeks back @HighEliteMajor. Still debating whether to get them or not
If we receive a post season ban for what's been presented to us from the trial then I've lost all confidence in this sport as it is constructed and I'll have to find something else to enjoy in life.
I have no idea how this will shake out but I'm sure it will leave us having lost ALL hope in the NCAA ever doing the right thing
I expect no resolution before the fall. Probably late October though. Seems to be a popular time
I want to thank the players for a good but turbulent season.
The Adidas trial took the sails out right from the start.
We always have a crippling injury that impacts the team negatively. Insert important 2019 big man here___
Who woulda thought Vick would get adios'd mid season. We made do with what we had. He is on the most disappointed list for sure.
Saw some major improvement over the year from Dotson and McCormack. Ochai gave this team a vital weapon when they needed someone but we ultimately found out he is still a young kid that needs experience and time. His future is bright. Mitch really saved our butt at times again. Dedric gave us his numbers. Your old man game at the y will make you rich overseas. Thanks for doing what you could. We wouldn't even have had him if he was an athlete. Thanks Marcus for your defense and your attitude towards the game. He does things the right way but man learn how to shoot boy. Dont do anything else. Hire a shooting specialist. FIX IT.
Those who were not mentioned. I dont have a positive thing to say so I'll leave it at that. Time for Self to hit the road recruiting, high school kids, transfer kids, grocery stockers, back alley side games where the next Ja Morant lies and pressure the NCAA on Silvio's appeal. He would be our best player next yr if eligible.
Self has some soul crunching to do this year. The Auburn defeat should be an eye opener for him on multiple levels. Their athletes were better, at Auburn. That's how you know the times have changed
Well this should be our favorite thread of the offseason
Does next yr mean Jan 1st? Or Late Night?
I thought it was Belichick's fault
At least we made it somewhat respectable for the bottom scroll
Hopefully that's the last minute number 2 has in that jersey
When your 25 and 10 just doesnt impact the game
We scored 57 this half and still getting crushed

I know people keep hearing Q is gone. But at this point he may be in the outside looking in to even get a combine invite.
I wish I believed that would stop him
Ochai man. Story of your life kid

Grimes trying to pad that YouTube draft highlight package
If he goes undrafted he can come back texhnically right?
Self has a history now for taking them back
Yup
Grimes trying to pad that YouTube draft highlight package
Maybe FIBA rules
Come on refs give us a break
Meanwhile Charlie was consistent all yr hitting 25%
After staring the year 2 of 20 too
Unfortunately agree.
Well silver lining is we didnt think we would hit 50.
Bill's bread and butter
Need that to be apart of his arsenal next yr
Nice jumper by dotson
The offseason is long
Good comeback

Headline: Grimes goes to basket and takes contact AND finishes an and 1
He is going pro on that highlight
If the same guy is open every play. I got nothing
Look at Grimes trying
Lol
It is we were only down 15 to them at least
Remember he doesnt like to watch blowouts
It's like they looked at the scouting report
Biggest halftime deficit in 155 tournament games. Awesome record we got there
They have more 3s then we have field goals
What are u talking about it happened
Blowouts are easier to deal with at least
Down 26
Grimes softer then charmin
That was a pity basket
