We got Baylored out.
@BigBad And maybe most important, useless on D in the paint along with Grimes, vick, Charlie who also play zero D.
Without Doke Dedrics lack of athleticism is really hurting us. Dave has the energy and size but is out of position a lot. Mitch was brain dead. The post is wide open for biz against us. Zero rim protection. Mr Lawyer, we need SDS in the worst way.
@Hawk8086 And ISU coming to town.
Vick is lazy and dumb. For a sr guard to have 2 possessions like that is ridiculous. He makes lazy passes for TOs, is lazy on D lazy entry passes to post. Just dumb selfish plays.
The lack of a turnover in 60+ minutes for a freshman is really remarkable. Slivio had a TO his freshman year about 3 seconds in! Granted, not a guard. But still. Would be interesting to see how many minutes it took for BRush, or BMac, or Oubre, or Wigs to get their first TO. Now that would be an advanced metric!
@bmensch1 Thanks for compiling. Great to see. KU is truly a pro player factory. Any talented recruit would be wise to study this list. Kinda surprised to still see Julian on this list.
Silvio could end riding in on the white horse not once, but TWICE in his KU career! If this happens we need to get him an epic nickname.
If we get Silvio back we win it. If not we tie
I call him Stud!

Grimes is tragically bad on D
Rex walters is up there for best transfer.
The lawsons combined vertical is single digits

Sure seemed like Charlie was in there more than four minutes that half
4 min too long
@BShark what is your scotch of choice
I want a #30 jersey
Lawson cant elevate over a piece of paper
Where is big dave
We are so fast...need more transition game. It is a strength
Garret is a bricklayer
Did anyone else catch where it said Ochai was practicing with the first unit? Starting tonight???
If so is it Vick riding pine??
@BeddieKU23 Last year silvio rides in late and ultimately was a game changer. Two years in a row? Someone get the white horse some oats!!!
Why would we think there is any chance he will play at this point? We lost a big and took a RS off a guard. We need the big more....and he will never get out of NCAA purgatory.
Well actually we need both, charlie is terrible!
Everyone was saying Baylor is not any good and then they beat the team that throttled us. From what i saw BU looked pretty good to me....active post man that scores in and out, strong offensive boarding and 3 guards who can hit the 3. They are all gonna be hard.
@HighEliteMajor I think what this indicates more than a commentary on Dave is that it cements that Silvio will not be playing this year. And that to me is the real death knell on the season.
@Crimsonorblue22 He is only 19.
Frank, fast.
Tyshawn, faster.
Devon, fastest.
@wissox No in KC now. But still love the Windy City.
@Crimsonorblue22 our cousins live in Coldwater! Ranch outside of town. Best beef in KS! Huck Beef!
@wissox Good job! Except for the pizza. As a native Chicagoan I must say Lou Malnati's or Uno's is far superior to Giordano.
@drgnslayr Looks tall enough to be a ski boot.
@BShark I watched most of the Kstate Vandy game prior to ours (i am sick and stuck on the couch). Viewing the game made me even sicker. Ksu is horrible. No way they beat us for the conf. No Dean wade but just tons of bricks, bad shots, and lack of bball skill in general. Our B team would beat them.
I think i have seen enough now....grimes may be a good athlete but he is a bad basketball player. Gets blown by repeatedly, terrible entry passes to the post, bad shot selection, weak D, and stupid plays over and over. Major head case.
He absolutely killed us in this game. Anyone know our +/- with him on the floor?
@Big-Clyde52 Another way to look at it is how may pros were on the team last year vs. this. We lost 2 NBA players and 1 2nd tier pro. Replaced with maybe 1 2nd tier pro and a couple guys who are just not very good basketball players. Moore is slow, small, and makes bad decisions. Grimes may be Sean Pearson 2.0. Dedric is a terrific college player who will play overseas.
We are very overrated at this stage. However, don't forget how much progress we usually make over Christmas break. The genius will be going into his laboratory in just a few days and his track record proves he will come out with some new weird science that results in hoops greatness.
But overall I agree, we just dont have nearly as talented players this year.
@KUSTEVE You were pretty dang close!!
@Lulufulu I am seeing some Jacques Vaughn in there too. Not as strong but faster. Might be the number too.
Despite shortcomings I still like the total package of what KJ can bring to the table more than Garrett. Just my opinion.
@BShark lot of min for 11
1 skying!
Good box
Dedric got his hand above the rim!!!!!
Oop to vick was there
Kj. Ugh
Drive. And kick
Go to vick
@Crimsonorblue22 Williams hype hype hype
Free throws gonna haunt us
@BShark No! We need him!
Where is grimes?
If lawson could jump he would ave 25 ppts per
