This was a great class of seniors, but one of them had to **** it up for the rest of them.

But, oh it would have been nice to remember a national title when I see all of those court stormings that I am afraid I am going to see after several KU road games next year.

I'd like to see an apology from Prison Bitch & Como in regards to Ellis.

Not sure but I think Wiggins is going to UK, and I don't think we have even offered Bolden.

[chiefqueen]

I believe Landon Lucas will be a RS Freshman not a sophomore next year.

[Shogun]

It wont happen, ever nor do i think he should. But PLEASE COME BACK BEN

Maybe I'm just upset, but I think the conference title streak ended this year. I know the recruits coming in are going to be good, I just don't know if they'll be good enough to play D like Self wants. I hope I'm wrong.

Lineup?

I say to start the season-

PG - Tharpe
SG - Selden
SF - White
PF - Ellis
C/F - Traylor

First off the bench
Lucas
Adams
Greene

Self trusts experience. There isn't much returning, but I think before the pups like Frankamp and Embiid break the lineup, theyll have to prove it before having it just handed to them.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I just want some F'IN SHOOTERS!!!! I'm tired of cringing every time a shot goes up.

I think that's a little optimistic. Realistically I think relying on this much youth will make it difficult. You could throw back 2006 and say it's been done before. Those were elite guys though in Chalmers, Rush, and Wright playing as freshmen. Will these new guys be that good right away? I sure hope so and Self has certainly deserved the benefit of the doubt. But it's kind of hard to say there's no chance that it doesn't happen without REALLY knowing what we've got.

Pipe dream

[DJay23]

I wouldn't count on Ben coming back. He needs at least another year of school, but the NBA is going to throw money at him that will save his family. He can't afford to pass that up.
