If lucas would have made that. Would have helped

@BeddieKU23 dribble drive right now. Hasn't worked well this game
If your gonna drive at least draw a foul. Soft
What's that offense we run?
That's right we don't run any
Baylor will win

Like I said Josh lost this game
False
True he turned the ball over I don't know how many times 2 feet from the basket and bricked 2 ft's
Like I said Josh lost this game
Lol Josh you just man
Thanks Josh this loss is on you!!!
All because we missed fts.
F u Morris
Seems how our 3 point d sux maybe our free throw down will come thru
Why would throw the ball to lucas is beyond me
They will blow it
Huge 3 by jackson
Need a new defender for long
When you don't try on defense this is what we get
Why can't we have 1 easy game why
Mason is having a career type game!
I am going to break Frans legs. I just can't stand it anymore.
Great hustle play by vick
Awesome start. Not
Iowa St is terrible but they have always played well in Allen. I expect the 1st half to be close and KU to wear them down late
Some of it was good adjustments by our defense to bring the double team as quickly as possible.
But more than likely we saw Scott Drew again show why he can't beat Bill Self at X's and O's. You have to blame Baylor's guards for not getting him the ball either.
Anyone seen Bolden play this yr?
About the most uninterested player I've seen in a while.
I cannot say this any clearer, we don't want him
That's a good one, Jackson 11th. Hahahahahaha
Evans and Smith for Tech are studs. Next year I can see them taking another step. Not sure about the rest of the team though.
Motley is a All-American candidate, if Baylor doesn't skip a beat next season I'll tip my cap to them.
Yeah I only did normal positions, Garrett is a unique player. I'd call him simply a player (utility type) that can play the 1-3. They don't make 6'6 guards on tree's that can run the point like him. I think that aspect is forgotten with him, Marcus has run point for years
His sneaky move was getting Vital and Jolly to red-shirt this season. Vital is a great athlete and Jolly was highly recruited wing originally committed to Cal. Drew gets these kids to invest in the long game and take full advantage of the sit-out year
Will be interesting to say the least. With Baylor/WVU returning what looks like 3 starters each they will definitely be the biggest competition again.
Is Baylor really that good without Motley? I would say no right now. Will be an experienced team though and Drew snuck in 2 red-shirt years from Vital/Jolly both Top 100ish kids.
How will WVU do without Adrian? I have no idea how any of the transfers/freshman will be but I bet Huggins found at least one gem in that bunch.
TCU looks like it could take the biggest jump forward. Brodziansky could be a 1st team All Big-12.
Oklahoma should improve simply because everyone but Woodard will be back. Hard to replace Woodward though.
The league might actually be down a bit. The league has been consistent this year with great PG play but next year we are looking at half the league with a new PG.
Thanks, This will be updated when there's information to add.
Yes Self has to hit a home-run this spring and everything starts with the PG issue. There will be anywhere from 2-5 open spots depending on departures. That is a lot of open space he can offer to late signee's/transfers etc.
Ideally KU should get to 12 scholarship players for 17-18 and maybe find another sit-out transfer with as much upside as Newman/Cunliffe. Because looking further down next year Doke, Newman, Vick, Preston will have draft decisions.
What guys sign with KU late and how returning players improve will determine a lot for next year. Newman/Vick/Doke will have to make big jumps
don't feed him. He thinks Wiggins sucks!
BIFM is next! Don't worry the Star's got stories for days
Below is the projected Starting Lineup's for next year's Big-12.
At the top are incoming Freshman/Transfers (in green are Top 150 prospects according to recruiting services)
Below is possible additions at this moment. Note Young & Smith are listed for multiple Big-12 teams until decisions are made.
Below that is projected starting 5 and the rest of the projected roster.
You will notice the biggest question for any team going into next year is who will be the starting PG at Kansas. I would love nothing more than to put Trae Young's name (or Duval) but I'm leaving Duval off the addition list unless some better intel comes out saying KU is really in it.
For other notes of Interest I have the following declaring for the NBA draft:
KU- Josh Jackson, Devonte Graham, Svi Mykhailuik. (obviously the last 2 have been discussed at length. At minimum we can expect they'll be in the combine.
Texas- Jarrett Allen, Andrew Jones (recent addition to ESPN's top 30 draft prospects)
Baylor- Jonathan Motley
Oklahoma St- Juwan Evans
I have also removed Tevin Mack from Texas's roster. Suspended since January and can't imagine he'll be back.
I have also kept Carlton Bragg on KU's roster until we get further clarity on his suspension length. The more games he misses the less likely he'll be here next season.
On paper it would seem Baylor & West Virginia could be considered the favorites for next season. Iowa St is losing the kitchen sink and Kansas without a PG right now will be a very inexperienced squad possibly going for the consecutive conference championship record with a new starting 5.
Thoughts?
I certainly wasn't trying to change the focus to next year. I'm enjoying the current season just as much as anyone, its been a great season so far. We have wins over #1 Duke, #4 Kentucky & #2 Baylor. I hope the wins keep coming, especially in March. At the halfway point we control our own destiny again for #13. It's a great position to be in.
You are right we have no idea what is going to happen.
About next year, it was just a heads up especially if your one that doesn't pay as much attention to potential early departures or recruiting. This off-season more than any in recent memory is really going to test Self's ability to put the right pieces together for next years squad.
Howard checked him out. He is having a good senior year. Can't imagine we'll offer.
KU needs bodies, I imagine we'll be signing up to the max of 13. Just 8 guys on the team if Svi/Graham leave. So there is possibly 5 open spots to go.
This is a good candidate for locking
Please stop
Lol TMZ at its finest yet again
Why is everyone playing into it, your doing them a favor. Please stop
There's definitely concern for next yr if we lose all 5 starters. Baylor, West Virginia will have experienced rosters again. KU is destined to be its most vulnerable next yr regardless of who stays or goes.
My hope is that Svi returns because I feel Graham returning is not on the table. Bragg is definitely a wild card for next yr which is why Self is after Chris Smith potentially
With Vick, Newman, Doke, Cunliffe that's 4 good players. Lightfoot and Coleby plus Preston and Garrett give KU 8 guys. We need an impact point guard and depth everywhere else. This is a year KU should sign 13 to play because next year there's a very good possibility more guys will be gone to the pros.
It's going to be Selfs youngest squad with very little experience. Times have changed even if Self has always figured it out. A true rebuild/reload year is possibly upon us. No "The sky is falling", just an honest assessment as of today

I hope so. Seems to be intrigued by other Canadians doing well, none bigger then Wiggins. He is very good and would be a very unique type of 4
I believe so. I'm sticking with it
Duval is a done deal to Duke, I see no reason to say otherwise.

@BShark so we still leading for young or not?
Matt says it's 50/50 which to me says he doesn't want to let out what he might know one way or the other due to respect and the relationship that he has with the family. He's giving tidbits here and there.
