We need Ochai to play the role of Releford. Play lockdown perimeter D, make open 3’s. Don’t touch the ball. With the emergence of Garrett and to some degree Braun as legit ballhandlers we don’t need Ochai to so much of it since Self says we’re going 4 guards. Ochai will be the de facto 4

Caldwell is going to sign, so that's a big win for us. I think Bryant and Harden are JuCo's. Both are bounceback candidates if they get things in order. Hearing the staff is still on the hunt for a grad transfer QB and will be very aggressive in the portal. I think MacVittie is a much better fit for Dearmon's scheme than Koennig's so we'll see if he can win the job. Otherwise, ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not sure who they think they can get still as far as grad transfers go... The realistic options look pretty slim.
Anthony Brown is an intriguing one for me.
Brown, Chase Brice, Peyton Ramsey, and the guy from Alcorn St. who's name escapes me. More will shake loose this spring and summer when guys know they'll graduate
For sure leaving: Lightfoot, Silvio, Garrett
Maybe: Ochai, Thompson, Jossell
So I think 5 (+/- 1) is a solid number to think about.

Well dam , now we lost Chris Jones - de-committed last night , this group is going to hell in a hand basket - - -pretty typical, he says re replaced him the day he left. - -like so many other verbals - verbal doesn't amount a basket full of rotten eggs. Every or last couple of years the recruitment looked promising, only to have it go to hell - gets pretty frustrating
Yeah, he's full of it. We asked him on his visit if he was 100% on board, he said no, and we dropped him. This is still a close to top 50 class, which is about as good as we've done in the last decade. We'll end up with 25+ HS kids ready to get in the program and develop for 5 years. No shortcuts a la Beaty and Chuck

Not to stir up this can of worms.... but...
Am I the only one in here that is worried about what science will discover in the future concerning the human species?
What if science finds DNA markers that match certain specific generalizations often attributed to race? Especially negative generalizations.
What would we do as a society? Might we finally come to the realization that we have to accept each other, flaws and all, and work towards something positive?
At least I will sleep better knowing science can point to some good, too:
We can learn a lot from rats. I'm not talking about people we call "rats." I'm talking about rats!
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/are_rats ↗
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3884117/ ↗
There is a lesson in this for all of us.
Peace all!
I think science already has a decent grasp of specific group differences. It's widely accepted in the Ev Psych community that IQ has some genetic component and is highly heritable (most correlations are .5-.6). We also see certain groups have comparative advantage in certain things. For example Ashkenazi Jews are wildly overrepresented among Nobel laureates (20% of Nobel winners are Jews, but they're less than .2% of the population).
So we know there's something going on, but we really don't know the mix between nature and nurture that leads to these differences. Is it possible that groups evolved slightly differently since they lived apart for so long? Sure, I guess. But we don't know the magnitude of those changes, all we have is distributions of characteristics by race and how they overlap but can't really explain why there are differences at the tails of each (Jews have a very fat right tail of the IQ distribution, blacks have a slightly larger left tail relative to Asians). The medians are all nearly indistinguishable.
So what do we do with this information? Basically nothing. We treat little Johnny or Sue with the dignity they deserve no matter how smart they are and give them the resources they need to succeed. Some groups will be overrepresented in certain occupations (e.g. men in construction) but if people are happy who cares? Some will run with it and day group differences should dictate policy but collectivism is dumb and intellectually lazy.

I really wish Braun could stay a starter.
I think he does even with Dave back. Watch me be 100% wrong
Solid win. Got it to 25, beyond that don’t really care
EVERYONE BEHAVE

Man, what will Braun be by senior year? Thoughts anyone?
A first team AA.
Braun reminds me of this guy
I think that Braun will be better. And I love me some Svi. Where is he now?
Detroit I think?

I think we should avoid passing the ball to walk on guards and let Doke dribble the ball up with 20 seconds to go.
Too soon..?

Hidden gem and total gym rat Christian Braun, my column:
Sneaky athletic? High basketball IQ? Was his dad a coach by chance?
ups my god
WHOA THEY CALLED THAT
What the fudge
Ochai’s footwork on his shot is iffy
For us it was lol
Bill’s going to scheme some stuff up for Doke. He’s been lights out down the stretch in games

@FarmerJayhawk Really? This is what makes a top 5 team. You're good enough to play with 7. I think Vols are better than the pokies. This team needs to suck it up and play. The 7 playing have to be good enough to EARN that 3 spot. This is gut check time. This team has to grind it out. They have to know the pokies were coming out swinging because they have absolutely nothing to lose.
As for the 7? Again, thank Dave and Silivo, but don't make excuses for this group playing like azz.
Wow you read waaaaaay more into that than you should’ve.

Let's get out of this half and Self needs to tear them all a new one...terrible...they are NOT a top 5 team
Well with 7 guys we’re not great
