Great thanks guys. LOL - Inglorious Bastards. I watched that movie. I liked it, too.

I just need a quick guide to understand the term - it's mentioned a lot in this forum.
Sorry if it's already been asked. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. @jaybate-1.0 I didn't realize until you guys mentioned how D is a big factor here. Using VR is a very great idea.
I did notice these guys tend to help baseline - but I also did notice other players didn't do good D allowing baseline move from opponent. Greene, Svi, and Graham, I think.

@HighEliteMajor mentioned 'get them in the flow' by screen & pick n pop - I really like this but I haven't seen this play drawn for them. These guys sure can fly.

Season is getting real now. B12 games starts. Things will only get tougher. I really hope our freshmen understands to do whatever it takes to win minutes and shine. Otherwise, it's a waste of talents in a full season.

@jaybate-1.0 I remember reading that post from @HighEliteMajor, too. It seems as if he (kusports writer)'s trying to score some 'like' points from the coach. This forum does have a lot of good discussions. As far as pro journos, you want someone like Newell. I remember reading blogs from him, (used to be kusports writer). His opinions are strong and valid, most of the time. He speaks from his mind. I kind of miss his blogs after a while.

After reading some good insightful posts from members here, I finally decided to join the forum.
Here goes my first post: Like some of you, I am dying to see KU play in FF and gets another shot to win it all this year.
I agree with some posts here, that we're not going to go deeper if we count on last year's team members. I was so thrilled when we signed Diallo & Bragg. They are so talented. But they haven't really wowed us in their limited minutes this far. Coach thinks they are not 'ready'. He proved his point vs UC-I. If we see other talented freshmen in the same pool as ours, most of them are starters from the beginning already.
I understand coach Self has his own way and agenda with top recruits vs seniors. Now, I'm curious if you were KU MBB head coach, what would you do to help develop these talented players so they get the minutes they've been itching for? What kind of plays would you design to expose their strengths and abilities so the team gets the most out of them? vs Zone? vs Man-to-Man?
Thanks!
