Ellis will be amazing.

Yes they did. And no he will not. Perry is the biggest disappointment in many years at KU thus far.

Reaaaaaly cracks me up that you guys are wanting to give up on a top recruit freshman so early. He will be very good.

Some times I think prison, wicked and Como are all the same person.

It's called going from high school to a major college program.

Perry isn't a typical high schooler. He was a Mickey D and a consensus top-25 recruit. The only 4-time POY in Kansas. A guy who was expected to start day 1. And he's not just having typical FR struggles: he can't catch the ball, can't go up for a layup without being stripped or rejected, looks slow, has zero confidence when he does get it ....... and is just flat surprised by the lateral quickness of defenders at this level.


It may be a problem with his lack of competition in HS but thus far, he looks absolutely terrible. This really can't be denied. Will be turn out ok? He might, I have no idea either way. But let's not sugarcoat his dreadful season.

Pretty sure the team has still done pretty well regardless of Ellis' play.

You don't think ANY of that has to do with the fact that he got by on superior talent in a weak high school basketball state and then went to a college powerhouse? Really? That shit you just named: trouble with catching & holding onto the ball, stronger players taking the ball, confidence in what he is doing, is no longer the best player on the court by a mile....that is the definition of a freshman.

Ellis will be fine. Will he turn into a great KU player? No idea. But I'm sure he'll be at minimum a serviceable player for KU for at least 2 more years.

Your complete and utter lack of perspective is astounding.
