@jayballer73 Jalen Wilson is not a 3 at the college level no matter how much you want him to play that spot because he's not quick enough to guard perimeter players and doesn't have the handles to be a perimeter based player. He's was 6-8, 215 lbs. on his recruiting profiles with more room to fill out. 6-8, 230ish lbs. is not a wing in college, that's a stretch 4. He have a similar role in the offense that Perry Ellis, Josh Jackson, and Marcus Morris had as face up players who can stretch defenses
Are you fricken serious? - - are you really trying to say you know more then Coach Self? you know I try with you - - I really do - -just seems no matter what or with you ,you just love to debate and seems like you have all the answers to everything.
Are you for real ? - Why do you think Coach went after Jalen as hard as he did - we missed the 1st time - -Coach wanted him - -got lucky things worked out the 2nd time - -do you really think Coach Self recruited this kid to Ku just so he could be buried at the end of the Bench to play the measly 5-7 minutes a Game that you so wisely predict? - Get out of here with that. - -Coach recruited Jalen for a reason - -because of a need - -we have a void at the 3 - -that's EXACTLY why he recruited Jalen - -to fill that void at the 3 - -he sure the hell didn't recruit a top 50 kid to have him come sit with our situation being what it is at the 3 - -he IS NOT going to be sitting at the end of the bench playing water boy. - -you wear me out - with some of your statements - - not only with me but I see with plenty of others here - -I think I put my trust in Coach Self a little more then your wisdom.
He sure isn't as bad of a player as your portraying him out to be - -wanting to compare him with others that aren't even a playing a position that he would ever play - just nutts to try and make comparsions like that. -you just go ahead and believe your theory and I'll take mine - it's America - you have that right. - -I have my right -I'll take recruiting experts opinions over yours though for sure - - people that get to see -- -evaluate - -and who talk with college Coach's about their opinions of players over yours - -sorry that's just how it is - - - Again when you have experts saying the kid was UNDER RANKED under radar - ya I'll believe that a little more - Again Coach didn't recruit him to sit - -you thinkin his recruiting pitch to Jalen he said - hey come on down - - help with water - - dab the floor -w MYA squeeze you in for 5-6 minutes?
he way you talking he is worse then Braun - -McBride - like the 13th player in a 13 team roster - - ya ok you take that and un with it or just sit back and watch - he WILL play the 3 - an be fine -he WILL get more then your 5-7 minutes - - and KU will be fine - - an w WILL go deeper then 7 players even 8 this yr with this roster and we WILL be fine - -you have a great day - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Who is Jalen Wilson better than right now that would give him big minutes?
Is he better than Udoka Azubuike?
Is he better than Silvio DeSousa?
Is he better than David McCormack?
Is he better than Mitch Lightfoot?
Which of those 4 players is he better than right now?
Only way Jalen Wilson is playing good minutes this year once Selfntrims the rotation is an injury or suspension to someone in that group.
your trying him to have him take minutes from positions he is never gonna play - - Hello? - his minutes will come from the 3 - - again from the 3 - - again from the 3 - you can't try and ask if he is good enough to take minutes from Doke - -or McCormack those are positions he doesn't even play - -ya probably better then Mitch - -well talent wise anyways - -Is Mitch gonna start at the 3 - - ummm -- NOPE - who will keep him from getting quality minutes at the 3? - - at best Abaji will be competing - - - Eraunra isn't better at this point anyways - both Freshman Garrett might take some but not enough to keep him at 5-7 minutes a game. - -and when he isn't playing minutes at the 3 then he wil like has been mentioned more likely then not be getting minutes at the 4
There is no way in hell he only gets 5-7 minutes a game - -he would have to be a complete bust - -NOT HAPPENING - your approach you talk like he has never seen a basketball court in his life and will trip over his own feet - you must be watching some other film. - but this is pointless to keep going back and forth with you - -I'm staying with what I said before - -he will for sure get more then any 5-7 minutes a game. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 agree with @Texas-Hawk-10 here. Minutes are exactly what I'd expect (8 min or 5 min) whether there's a redshirt btwn Lightfoot/Enanura or not.
you got your opinion no problem - -and I'll take what your drinking too lol
Texas Hawk 10 said:
@jayballer73 Whoever doesn't start among Garrett, Agbaji, and Moss is getting the back up minutes on the wing. Jalen Wilson isn't playing nearly as many minutes as you think he will this season. He's a solid prospect, but there's a reason he's ranked as low as he was in a weak class. He'll be a nice player in years 2 and beyond, but he won't average more than 7-8 minutes this year and that's only if Lightfoot redshirts. If Lightfoot doesn't redshirt, Wilson will average less than 5 mpg.
just do me a favor and let me have some of that drink your drinking cause that must be some good shit - -that's laughable and I stay with he is gonna play ALOT more then you think

@jayballer73 We know historically that Self prefers a 7 or 8 man rotation once he trims the rotation for B12 play. Injuries can mess that rotation up obviously, but this is assuming no injuries.
KU has a full 13 man roster of scholarship players so that means 5 or 6 scholarship players will not be in that rotation. We also know redshsirting is a possibility, but we won't know who actually does or doesn't until much later so I'm ignoring that right now. Just so everyone is clear, the 3 redshirt possibilities this season would be Lightfoot, Braun, and Harris.
I think only of the starting spots are guaranteed at this point and that's Dotson and Doke. The other two perimeter spots will be between Agbaji, Garrett, and Moss and the other post spot will be between Silvio and McCormack.
I think the best line up for KU would be Dotson, Moss, Agbaji, Silvio, and Doke. I say this because Marcus Garrett can play 1-4 so he can sub for anyone if KU wanted to go 4 guards. I would have Dave off the bench because he can sub for either post position.
That's 7 players right there, that means there's maybe 1 more rotation spot available. Depending on how Self uses Garrett, that 8th rotation spot is likely the back up PG spot. That's a battle between McBride and Harris for that role.
I agree with Devon and Doke for the starting. - I think your gonna see a lot of Devon - - - and Doke - - - -Moss - - - - - -Silvio - -& Jalen combinations. - - -
I feel that chances are we will see Marcus actually getting the start a lot of times at the 3 - and then relieving Devon when he needs a spot rest at the 1 - -don't see Marcus playing anytime at the 4 - -I think we will see Agbaji backing Moss or visa versa at the 2 - -and even Jalen getting some at the 2 - -I think Jalen will see quality minutes at the 3 - -and Dave backing Doke at the 5 and Mitch backing Silvio at the 4 - or you can adjust according with the bigs between the 4 and 5. - -With Mitch playing some 5 - - - your not gonna see Jalen playing any 5 you can take that to the bank in College. Jalen is gonna get his minutes. - -A big reason Coach has only played 7 or 8 is he hasn't had a full compliment of quality players like this coming year.
He has had 1-2 super studs on the roster but he has actually 13 quality players 3-4 yr players well except for Doke who is a Senior and Devon who will be gone after this year. - -I really feel he is going to use his depth more this year - -he could actually go 2 deep over the entire line up - - -not that he will obviously , I just think your gonna see more then the 7 players I think you will see him going more or leaning more towards 9 this year
Texas Hawk 10 said:
@jayballer73 Where are his minutes going to come from? This is the type of team where Self typically has a very short leash with freshmen.
Just about every scouting report on Wilson talks about him being a better scorer than shooter at this point so I wouldn't expect him to light world in fire with his shooting right away. He was also described as a good athlete which means he's a step slow compared to the top recruits where you would see the term great or elite athlete.
There's a reason he was ranked 50ish in a weak recruiting class. He's nowhere near a polished product and he's going to need time to get to where he can be which I think is somewhere between Marcus Morris and Perry Ellis. Those players needed time as well to become what they became at KU.
Best case for Jalen Wilson this year is the 4th big man which historically means 7-8 mpg because he isn't jumping Doke, Silvio, or Dave in the rotation barring injury. If Lightfoot doesn't redshirt, then Wilson is a non factor this year in the rotation and would only see spot minutes in mop up time because he wouldn't be ahead of Lightfoot either.
Well he and Doke play totally different positions - Dave and him play totally different positions so that eliminates him - - Silvio gonna be playing the 4 if not the 5 - - Jalen gonna be seeing more then enough time between the 2 and the 3 - -- Jalen has a nice stroke and yes he IS a scorer. - -Evan Daniels said multiple times that Jalen was a very overlooked rated player saying he should of been rated at least 10 higher
sit back and watch he gonna be much more playing factor then what your talking about. - He gonna between the two/three will be getting 13-14 minutes a game - -just watch. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Texas Hawk 10 said:
@KUSTEVE Dave isn't going to be playing alongside Doke much, if at all, he's going to be the back up for Doke which means him and Silvio likely play together quite a bit as well. I do think the spacing will be better with Dave and Silvio together because of Dave's mid range ability. My big concern with Dave is his rebounding ability because it was awful last year. That has to get better for him to see a significant uptick in his minutes.
You also need to go back and re-read my Vick/Moss comparison because I specifically said on the court, I did not mention off the court because I've already called Vick the second biggest cancer KU has had under Self. I wasn't a big fan of bringing Vick back last year because of his baggage.
Saying a 3 point shooter streaky is like saying water is wet is not a good analogy. There is a difference in the type of outside shooter players like Vick and Moss are compared to what Svi, Graham, and Mason were as shooters. A bit streak for a streaky shooter may be something like hitting 60 or 70% over a 2-3 game stretch like we saw with Vick early last season. A cold streak for a streaky shooter is going to be hitting about 20% over a several game stretch.
Consistent shooters like Svi, Graham, and Mason don't tend to spike as much either way during hot or cold stretches. That's the difference between a streaky shooter and a consistent shooter.
Wilson, McBride, and Braun can shoot, but they won't be factors in the rotation so they don't add much this year. In a couple of seasons, those guys will probably challenge the '17 and '18 teams for made 3's, but they aren't ready yet.
As for Garrett he's never going to be a good shooter. Just look as his FT% and tell me why we should expect him to ever find a consistent shot. His ceiling is about 33% as a deep shooter. Garrett is a slasher, not a shooter.
I think your just flat grossly mis stating fact if you think Wilson won't be a factor - your WAY under estimating Wilson

Sure seems to be a lot more offering to middle on the top 100 and then even guys like this - - and like McBride - - & Braun last year maybe a change of plan/attack in recruiting - -maybe looking at more 4 year quality guys for room to improve - - -
It could be with this new rule coming into effect before to longer , maybe Coach is changing approach/attack. Could be he is looking to start making more of an concerted effort on 4 year types of guys that has room to develop. - Good solid quality players - - yet 4 year players and possibly a little less on the Elite that we know with more then not probably will jump straight to the NBA. - So Coach getting a little head start - I dunno just a thought. - He starts recruiting these types of players now - -leaves less chance of getting left out from the elite and then having to scramble for other players to fill holes on the roster - - I really don't have a problem with good solid quality 3-4 year players with a OAD sprinkled in if we can still land them - -might work out okay - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

read an article Marcus fired his Agent Rich Paul - -Same agent that Handles Lebron & Anthony Davis. - -Speculation was he as upset that Paul couldn't get or didn't believe Marcus market value was what Marcus was looking at or wanted from my understanding.

Bosthawk said:
Copied here for your convenience, a Recent Landen Lucas letter to KU fans
Kinda sums it up doesn’t it ?
“Dear Jayhawk Nation,
It might be strange to say, but I never truly understood what being a Kansas Jayhawk meant until my days in a KU uniform were over. It's something I have learned in the two years since I played my final game in the Crimson and Blue. This week, when I have seen so many former players, coaches and fans, I believe I can now express what it means to be a member of this incredible community and how important that is to me.
Don't get me wrong, I valued my time in Lawrence and as a member of this program. The wins we fought together for, the trophies we lifted and the memories we made are still surreal for me to this day. The epic triple-overtime win over Oklahoma, and coming back from 14 down in the final three minutes to beat West Virginia my senior year are just a snapshot of my favorite memories that we made.
But when you're at the ground level, so invested in practice, in class, in games and everything else that 18-22 year olds face on a daily basis, it's easy to forget to stop and take a look around to get a true appreciation of all the great things Kansas is.
Eventually it has all sunk in for me and I have realized what I was and am still a part of. I gained perspective and I now have a greater appreciation for what it means to be a part of this program, this school and this community. Playing in the games I played in and playing in front of the greatest fans in the country was truly the honor of a lifetime.
The fans – you are the backbone of this program. If you take one thing from this message, it's this: Everything you do, it is noticed. From packing the Fieldhouse hours before tip-off, traveling in the thousands to road arenas, even writing letters and giving us words of encouragement. It all mean so much to this team. We might not always be able to show how much all these gestures mean to us, but everyone I know who has been a part of the program really does notice all of it and appreciates it.
My professional career has taken me all over the world and everywhere I go, there are Kansas fans somewhere. It's hard to go through a day where I don't run into at least one Jayhawk. You're always so proud of the school and so appreciative of my small contribution to Kansas basketball and I'll be forever grateful for that.
Being a Jayhawk is truly being a part of this family forever. Even once you leave, the feelings of belonging and legacy are still there. The continued support is like no other, whether it's from the fans, donors or alumni, everyone comes together to form this incredible support structure that I feel very privileged to be a part of.
As a part of this KU family, you are a part of something that's so much bigger than yourself. Every time we stepped on the court and wore the "Kansas" across our chest, we were representing something way bigger than the team. Being a part of something like that makes you want to strive to be your best and that is what being a Jayhawk is all about.
Thank you for all you have done for me, Kansas basketball and the University. It will forever be an honor to be able to call myself a Jayhawk.
Rock Chalk!
Landen Lucas ('17)”
You can say all you want about Landen’s skills as a player, but he gets it to the core. And that core is why l LOVE KU basketball.
Gee I wonder what kind of note a guy like Quentin Grimes is going to write someday? 😁
So very well said by Landen , he truly is a Jay Hawk - - always has been - always will be.
There were some , just like with any other program where some of the fans didn't really particular care or thought it was a waste for Landen to be on the floor. - - I wasn't one of them. - When his time came I thought he did pretty dang well all things considered.
True Landen wasn't a flashy player by any means - - - he wasn't a dominant player either - - he wasn't a huge rim protector either - -Yet what he was - -- -was another guy that always put forth his best when on the floor - - consistently giving anywhere from 8- - 9 - -n10 points a game and time after time after time double digit rebounding effort. - - No Landen wasn't a guy who by far wasn't going to blow you away - - - BUT what Landen was - -was a True Jay Hawk - and as you can read from this letter - -a kid who loves the University of Kansas - he will always have a place from me. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Evan Daniels tweeted this out about 6 hours ago about Harris:

Bottom line sure read like he was giving Les the business with how he handled Pooka. - -He said in the article the Les - - Still doesn't get it. - -He referred to how this compared eerily to like the case when Les was at LSU and his handling of Jeremy Hill. Stating that Les has always been soft when it came out to dealing out punishment to players.
Here he asks about dealing with Pooka: - -Where is the statement saying the University and football program don't condone violence against women ? - - - - Where's the statement expressing concern for the victim ? - - - Where is the statement to say what the University and football is doing to make sure this never happens again ? where's the statement saying the player will face a LEGITIMATE form of punishment ? - -He states that Les failed with Jeremy Hill - - -and He failed now.
OK , so now and please let me make this perfectly clear , - - - I by far did not or will I ever Condone the type of thing that took place for anyone - -just so happens this is Pooka.
I need your help guys and please don't be afraid to express because I', genuinely confused. - -For Me I feel with everything Pooka has to do such as attending these classes - - his community service - constantly checking in on his conduct - - it seems to me - he is on a short rope - he sounds to me will have to walk a very straight line - -I mean I think this goes through his Senior yr right? - -To me - -I think Les and the University got it right -true it is one game , they stated about this in the article , said with it just being a one game suspension - sounds like more worried about winning then the Victim. - -I don't think that's the case at all. I just feel like with the stipulations he has - - it fits. - - So am I wrong in my thinking? - -Thinking this fair? - If I'm wrong let me know - --- -I'm just not feeling the hate for the decision. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
I fully understand the situation here with this , and he ha been dealt his penality which needed to be - so don't take it wrong when I say as a side note - -Huge boost to the football team that he is still part of the team and eligible. - suspended for a game is legit - -do what you need to do young man - -put this behind you and focus on becoming a better individual - - we need you - - nice talent - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I assume Pooka will be suspended for the Indiana State game and maybe even the Coastal Carolina game, but I'm excited to get the rebuilding started. If MacVittie is at least steady, I hope to be looking for tickets to a bowl game in 2020.
Nailed it. Pooka out for CC but back for the rest of the year assuming he keeps his nose clean. 7 month suspension, ongoing monitoring (including university probation until he graduates), and fulfilling the terms of his diversion is good enough.
I agree , plus 40 hours of community service from the diversion - -on top of that ANOTHER 40 hours of community service through the university - plus his anger management class plus another class being made to take. - -think pretty just. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I watched re-runs of Naked and Afraid in the comfort of my air conditioned living room. My wife watched the fireworks from our back porch.
One of my favorite days of the year - the 5th of July.
wish the 5th could be mine too. - -Yet where I liver doesn't matter it's like the 4th here on the 5th - - - - 6th - -- -7th - - -8th - - so on and so on - for almost the rest of the month. These idiots just don't get it lol. - - of course most of the people around here don't work , they live of welfare , so they just sit back collect the taxpayers money sit up all night smoke their crap - - - drink their Thunderbird or Big Mouths - - 40's etc kick out babies and spend all their money on fire works and shoot them off till 1-2 in the morning for the next couple of weeks - - makes it a real paradise lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Illinois is going hard on Adam Miller, but his mom tells me he's kind of 50-50 between them and us and he will make a visit to Lawrence. He'd be a good add to NEXT YEARS TEAM (I figured it out @KUSTEVE) I don't often have inside info on recruiting, well, I never had, until now.
I like your inside info you found
