OU insider with his insite on Bryce
I’m leaning OU and it’s not a “homer” pick. Long ways to go until Tuesday and lots can happen between now and then. I have spoken to several people that feel strongly about OU. Another that said he would pick OU and gave reasons why, but prefaced it by saying it’s close and could change a lot
And here we go - - -AGAIN

I would normally send you a private message, but I want the kubuckets community that is reading to see this.
I AM SORRY. I APOLOGIZE.
It's no excuse, but I've been dealing with some stuff lately and am a little on edge. Taking my bad attitude out on fellow Jayhawk fans (or anyone else) is not appropriate.
You are entitled to your opinion just as much as I am.
Again, please forgive my terrible attitude.
You have no reason to apologize - - you've done nothing wrong my KU partner. - -But I too will apologize , wasn't taken personal on my part anyways - -this is just one thing that gets me in trouble - -people start talking about Ku - -my defense shield goes up instantly and a lot of times logic goes out the window - -still have that Debate mentality from High School.
I know you love the Crimson and Blue as much as I do. - this type of thing has gotten me in trouble before. - -I live eat and sleep KU that's all - -just can't stand ANYTHING negative being said about players - -Coach's - -and we both have opinions - no problem with that -your entitled to yours - -e don't have to agree.

@nuleafjhawk I'm not sure what @jayballer73 's problem is, but if Self were to leave, I agree with you and would definitely have Bennett number 1 on the list to replace. Without a doubt one of the best half dozen or so coaches in the game right now. Gets his players to commit to playing suffocating defense every possession of every game. Has won consistently without as much top tier talent as teams the Cavaliers face most nights in conference games (although the talent level has picked up the past few years). He's had 13 players drafted - 3 last year.
And, there is the small matter of being the most recently minted NCAA champion. Even more impressive in some respects is the fact that the Cavaliers have won the ACC regular season title 4 of the past 6 years - in a much, much tougher conference (certainly at the top) year in and year out than the B12.
I don't give a rats as about aesthetics myself - in fact, I enjoy watching teams struggling to score against them and routinely getting shot clock violations. And, Self likes to win ugly games, as well.
It's not a matter of choosing Bennett over Self or saying he is a better coach - but rather, who would be on the very short list of candidates to replace him. I have zero doubt that Bennett would be very successful at KU. Whether we could get him if Self left is another matter...
ummm HELLO you read? - - - like he pointed out him self - - we are not talking about who replacing who if who was to leave - - maybe start back at the 1st of this and see where it said anything about replacing lol - - -My problem with people like yourself almost coming the way it comes across is that trying to say Bobby Bennet is better so save the bs HAVE A GREAT NIGHT

@jayballer73 I’m sure it wasn’t that impressive for him to watch a 5 point win over Oral Roberts with a crowd of 7,319 (about half of full capacity). Relax buddy

Going to be interesting to see if we see any kind of movement - -changing of predictions from the so called experts after Bryce's visit last night to Okie State. - -Guess they had the students all chanting his name last night at the game - - - So far haven't seen any change yet - -see how it goes tomorrow and over the weekend

WAIT!! OH------MY GAWD................JUMPIN JEEE HO SO FAT-
BENNETT WON ..........7 MONTHS AGO ------ SELF WON ----HOLY SMOKE --------------------------12 YEARS AGO.
If you don't think Bennett is a good coach - you might want to re-think that. You don't hear me and others saying that we want him to replace Self - just that he's a damn good coach. Get over yourself.
as a famous individual said - -" JUMPIN GEE HOSSA FATS -- - -OH -- MY GAWD - - do you really think people care how long ago the title was one whether it ws yesterday or the day before yesterday - -it STILL is ONE CHAMPIONSHIP - -SPARKY. lmao
Coach Self has help at minimum place at least 23 players in the NBA - - Coach Self in the time he has been here has like you so quite nicely wanted to point out - - Self has EIGHT - -let me type it again so even you get it - -EIGHT 30 plus win Seasons - - Bennet ummm not so much - - - four, - -I've heard people o here saying they would like to see Bennet Coach here - -just fricken insane - -his fricken style of ball is like watching the FRICKIN GRASS GROW - -snooze ball - -you want to watch/support that style of ball in the years of 2,000 here is an idea subscribe to the ACC network and knock yourself out.
Bennett is no Coach Self - -I don't give a rats ass whether one year ago - or twenty years ago - -A Championship last year is no more valuable then 10 it's STILL just ONE NCAA Championship - -get over yourself roflmfao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY - - OH , OH , OH -- wait oh ya - -have a great night
nuleafjhawk said:
@jayballer73 I know, right? Those guys that win 35 games and the National Championship SUCK.
Ya , Ya your right my bad - kinda confused though hot shot Bennett tell me exactly how many Championships has he won again with that awesome style of ball? - -let me think - -ummmmm ONE - - ONE. -- If I'm not mistakin same amount of NCAA titles Coach Self has won with KU style - -Oh but wait Bennett was 35-3 - - my GOD he won 35 games last yr with the title. - - OH wait - - tell me again how many wins KU had in our last Championship season ? - -OMG -- KU just happened to be 37-3 - - - can that be.?
Bennett ain't got crap over Coach Self - - - - - BOTH have ONE NCAA championship -- -Both had 30 win plus seasons in those years. - -so that doesn't hold squat.
Soooo lets look what is Bennett's winning pct again ? - - - What is Coach Self's ?. - - But to give the Championship LAST YEAR let's take a look at the Schools NCAA championships with or without Bennett - - before last year - -I looked and looked and ummm huh - didn't find them ANYWHERE all the way back in 1939 - - -1939 - -weird huh? - -Ku listed 3 different time 1952 , -- 2008 , 2018.
So teams are even with Current head Coach's - -so comes down to what you want to watch. - -Do you want to pay hard money to watch a team that likes to run play up tempo - -OR do you like watching a tempo whee even I while watching have time to get my beer fix my sandwhich - - pull down my bottle of Geritol - sit in my rocker throw my blanket over my lap and still be able to watch Virginia and Bennet on the same possession - - Na think I'll stick with KU'S winning coach - - Virginia not even revelant

We've seen a lot of recruitments we thought we were in the drivers seat or had the momentum turn on us. This one doesn't seem to be any different although I'm hoping my confidence in a few people in this board and the other have the right information. I think Bryce knew Cade was going to Ok Lite before it went down. I also think UNC moved to get Johnson knowing they weren't his choice either. I think KU has always led despite all that has happened. Hope I'm right come next week.
Hope so too. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It's all about poise, leadership, and accountability. All three SEVERELY lacking on the floor against Duke.
No one said Mitch was a PG or 2 guard. And you CAN'T GET MORE SHOTS when you're peeing down your leg and giving up 28 turnovers.
Mitch is obviously not the best leader to ever wear the Jayhawk uniform, but this team lacks leadership, and from my viewpoint, Mitch is the only one that is capable of bringing those skills to the floor. When someone does bring that to the floor, it's contagious to the rest of the team.
This is about what Mitch wants. - -what Mitch feels like is best for him - - not fans. - -He is doing what the Coach's feel is the best situations - - not ours. - -It's ONE game - -it was the 1st game. - -Did you happen to see Michigan St/Kentucky ? - - also ugly.
The world isn't coming to an end. - - -Devon has almost if not the same amount of playing time leadership time in over a year as Mitch has for his College Career - -Devon started from day one - - - career minute average of 32.4 per game -- your point guard is widely considered as the leader on the floor - -Devon for his career has logged 1,206 minutes - - -Mitch has totaled 1,032 minutes Devon been through the wars/battles also - -were fine , - -not worth ruining a redshirt year for one game - - - have to look at the BIGGER picture very easily need Mitch more next year then this. - He is doing what he also feels is best for the School as well as him. - -Mitch is Crimson & blue 1000 times over - love the kid, he just does what he feels will help KU the most - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

there shouldn't be much confidence until he announces and signs. However I do think he's made his choice already and this is him enjoying the process for one more week. If he picks KU its great. If he doesn't, well we won't be surprised given the mud we are in. I know I'm numb to losing recruits like this at this point.
that makes two of us. - - All I can think about is a previous recruitment and we looked rock solid. - - Announcement day rolls around announcing on the TV. - - that day Ayton announces ARIZONA for craps sake. - -they wasn't even considered a contender -- we were a 100 % CB - -now we all know what and how that came about - - BUT still makes me leary and uneasy when it's like this anymore. - -just can't put a lot of faith in any CB or even experts a lot of times. - -like you say come next Tuesday and he announces with us - - -GREAT until then - - very un-easy

Oh I see it. Can’t teach his motor. He’s just a bit late on a lot of plays now where even thinking of making the pass wouldn’t cross his mind a year ago.

And we didn’t even have our best shooter.
yet another way to look at it - - Moss which from everything I've heard probably going to be our best 3 pt shooter - - no Moss - - 28 turnovers - - our main Big only 4 shot attempts -- and LOSE by only 2 - -not THAT concerned. - -for sure need work to do taking a lot beter control of ball - -but I mean 1st game of the year.
look at it this way - -they talking about how deep we are and all that jibber jabber & it's true BUT -no matter how you want to twist - - turn & kick it - - Bottom line is were still a pretty young team ourself.

Not trying to pile on Dave, but just thinking back to some wasted possessions in the last 3 minutes... illegal screen, stupid bounce pass to Doke. Clanked followup on Garret's miss. Love the dude, but not the guy I want involved in clutch time compared to pretty much anyone else on the team.
Career High and team leading 13 rebounds
And? If Self goes back to the 2 big lineup this team WILL NOT reach its potential. This isn't 2010. Our Big's will get exposed on d all season.
if you notice and or Heard Self he said that he thought Dave did a pretty decent job in the open floor. - - having 2 Big's - WAS NOT the reason we lost this game - - - believe that - -when the other team gets up 14 more shots then you because of your turnovers - -When your main Big man only get 4 shot attempts for the ENTIRE game and you lose by two - -IS NOT because of having two Big's on the floor -that's a pretty good AND?

He won't make 50%.
Sadly to say -- I have to agree. -- I know many , many , moons ago when I was playing ball. - -Our coach it was a every day thing. - -We had to shoot 100 FT'S at the end of practice. - -Every one we missed was a lap around the court - -Or a shuffle - needless to say - -we were pretty dam good with our FT'S
Just read - - - Coach Self has changed his expectations about Doke's FT pct. - -He had set him hoping for him to be able to hit 65 % - -he has now lowered them to 50 %
He say Doke just HAS to be able to hit 50% - he said they won't be able to afford to have him in the game , as teams will just have that Hack a Shaq approach. - -He said Doke has been practicing tryin to get better since he has been at Ku - -said he has seen him make 19-20 in practice but said big difference between practice and game conditions.
Said just a huge mental block - -said they have to try to do/find something. - - said he isn't going to improve in a couple of days after trying ever since he has got there - - but that he will be shooting 500 free throws a day for the next couple of days - -said his shot is totally different in practice -- -We won't be able to keep him in the game - -Coach said every time - -every time will hack him until he improves - has GOT to be able to make at least 50% - -right now for the two exhibition he is at 11 % - -10 % if you count the lane violation - -there is no excuse for it being THAT bad

The analytic rankings don’t think KU is nearly as good as the humans . BPI, Ken Pom, and Sargain all have KU around 10th or so...
As fun as preseason stuff is, all of these are meaningless until at least December. BPI is always meaningless.
That said I do think many people are sleeping on Duke in this one...
I agree with you - - I think there are SOME people that think we are going to S - - - stomp them - -I just don't think that is going to happen - -I'm looking for a game somewhere from 5-7 points probably.
One of our Major problems going to be - -if we are in a tight game - -then Doke just eliminates himself right out of the game he becomes a real liability with the game on the line or tight - -I promise you they will foul the hell out of him/gain possessions by his pathetic free throw shooting. - -Unless Doke can get that fixed that could be ONE of few issues to keep us from winning a title.
Coach won't be able to afford to keep him in with the game tight like that - -so people need to realize this will be a year long thing. - -Every time were in a close/tight game - - Doke will be a liability on the offensive end - -somehow some way they have GOT to get this fixed

@KirkIsMyHinrich Our best lineup is absolutely NOT a four guard lineup. Our best lineup is a traditional 3 out, 2 in look. Self's hi/lo is the perfect fit. We just have to impose our will and stop saying we can't guard the 4. We can.
That doesn't mean we can't or won't play four guards. In fact, switching it up here and there is certainly reasonable.
But to impose our will, and not be imposed upon, it's 2 bigs all the way.
Agree. Let them try to match up with us, which I don't think they can. I am tired of the small ball lineups, and now that we have frontcourt depth and talent it is still our best option? I don't think so. We will beat Duke by 12 points.
a better point of discussion , going to be interesting US matching up on them defensively - -the key will be if we try and play 2 big's - who is going to be athletic enough - -flexible quick enough to cover their 4? - -Silvo? - - McCormack? - that might get ugly - seen it happen before

@FarmerJayhawk any reason to be concerned about Bryce taking a last minute visit with Cade to Okie St? Doesn’t seem good to me...
exactly what I was thinking - - with the strong possibility of Cunningham to Okie St -NOW all of a sudden Bryce is going to take an un-official ? -don't like the looks - he has already had his official - - why would there be any reason to take ANOTHER visit? - -- unless he is still having doubts - -you put Cunningham at Okie State - -KU and this whole NCAA thing with possible penalities - there is no reason for him to go back. -- Every one thinking this was a KU/OU thing now - -and BAM surprise. - -I sure wouldn't count on Bryce at this point - -almost like someone is his camp looking for a reason for Bryce NOT to come here. - - watch.
