Pretty sure he was joking.

And judging by that quote ("Coach Self doesn't kick you out...", it sounds like Self is using what happened at Kentucky last year (the struggling and then Calipari moving out most of their top guys for new top recruits) against Cal. No surprise there, of course.

I don't think Self has to point that out. Anyone can see what happened.

Does he HAVE to? No. But it makes for a good topic of conversation.

I would just question it, considering Oubre's dad said a couple weeks ago that neither Calipari nor Self ever bad mouthed the other.

It's just another tool that can be used in those battles. I think he'd take pleasure in using it.

You don't have to bad mouth the other to make that point that at Kansas that won't happen.

It happens a lot at Kansas too.

Not exactly the same though. KU moves out guys when it becomes obvious that they won’t get playing time (and aren’t likely to go to the pros), so they can have an actual college basketball career.

Some guys leave because they clash with the staff (Anrio Adams). Some leave because they simply prefer to go to a smaller program where they will get minutes (Quintrell Thomas) and some leave because they're bitch ass bitches who can't take being pushed (Micah Downs).

I really hope Conner redshirts too. He's a guy who is going to be here in year 4 or 5. We seem to have enough 3pt shooting this yr. One extra year will help Conner figure out how to get his shot off. Ask Perry if that isn't important. Also based on comments from the coaching staff, they really don't expect Conner to play PG this year. Maybe an extra year of seasoning and he can do it.

Andrew White & moreso Greene have potential to be 2 or 3 and done players. I'm predicting big things for my boy AW3 this year. In fact, I think he could be 3rd in scoring.

True but that goes for Kentucky too

Never knew Adams had a clash with the staff, I really liked the guy.

The rumors are that Conner is going to get significant minutes this year, as he can absolutely punish teams for focusing on the paint. In practice last week, he hit 35/35 in one three point drill and 71/75 in another. They are saying the staff does NOT want him on the bench.

Redshirt will come down to Greene Vs. White. Brannen Green has better athleticism and Green Light White is more physical and knows the system.

All of this from someone who was at practice and spoke with coaches.
