Grimes
Langford (if we get him)

As a 1, 2 and 3 it would take a leap of faith to think we would be very good. I think Grimes is the only freshman next year that will start.

Charlie Moore is a Top 50 recruit with 1 year in the system, and will be 3 years older than Dotson. I would imagine he starts the year off as the PG, and if Dotson takes it from him eventually we would be in good shape.

Didn't Langford just score 63 points the other day? And you don't think he would be a starter?

D. Lawson
KJ Lawson
Dotson
Grimes

* Denotes possible or likely early departure.

Newman MIGHT come back if he believes that playing one more year can make him comfortable and allow him to play into the back end of the first round - which is doubtful, so he might just jump and go to Europe if the NBA doesn't want him.

Vick is still crazy athletic and can shoot - same situation as Newman.

Udoka has all of the natural talents you want in a big man. NBA shooting coaches can likely fix his shot better with him on the bench for 82 games than anyone in college can over a summer.

Having said that, none of these three guys are on any mock draft's radar. We could lose all of them or none of them. But it seems pretty clear Self expects at least one to be gone, since we are currently at our allotted scholarship number, and the team just offered Agbaji and is still recruiting Langford hard.

Also, Agbaji just picked up the KU offer and promptly scheduled an announcement for tomorrow (today) at 2:00 PM.

Vick aint leaving after this year. His value is at its lowest right now.

Newman might come back if he thinks it can get him into the first round.

Doke will be back. He isn't a 1st rounder because he needs to learn how to rebound better.

Help me out here, isn't Agbaji a 3 star recruit type that usually goes to Div.1 colleges like Mo State? I know Self saw him in person, so if KU offers I'm good with trusting Self but this is unusual, right?

Next years team looks like on paper, the deepest most talented team Self has had in a long time, agreed?

I've quit trying to guess. Diallo had no business entering the draft and he did it anyway. And dudes like him are why Silver is talking about changing the rules. Kids do weird stuff man.

If Langford comes, he starts and Grimes first off the bench. If not think Grimes starts. Now in March, maybe that is a different story. But Self generally doesn't like to start bunches of freshmen.

I imagine it looks like this

Moore
Vick/Newman (1 probably stays)
Grimes
D Lawson
Udoka

Grimes is starting. End of discussion regardless who comes.

Its really not.

Granted the best team doesn't always win, but it's certainly not a crapshoot.

I think a lot of Kansas fans tell themselves that due to all of their early rd exits in the tournament, thus trying to justify the team's failures.

It's been 10yrs since KU won their NC, and yes they advanced to a NC game 6 years ago in 2012, but that honeymoon period is long gone.

It depends on what one means by "crapshoot". If one means even a double digit seed has a really good chance to win it, then no.

If one means that the real difference between the elite teams isn't really that much in the age of the one and done, and, as the field condenses to be a majority of said teams, that any fortunate/ill fated bounce/shot/pass can leave you with a euphoric/cruel ending, then it absolutely is.

Being "favored" in the regionals often won't mean much if the other team si on fire. If you can't hit the ocean. If fouls are called tighter, or a key injury kills your chemistry.

But I have no doubt one of the really good teams will win it. They will probably be the regular season champion of their conference (as 7 of the past 10 champions were (Duke one year and the ultimate outlier UConn, twice). But which one of those? There is no certainty.

Self likes a combination of immediate contributors and long term guys in his recruiting classes.

In 2014, we had Wiggins and Selden pegged as the immediate impact guys and Embiid/Frankamp/Greene/Mason were the long term guys. Embiid became an immediate impact and left, but Selden stayed so it evened out.

2015 was similar. Oubre and Alexander were the immediate contributors. Graham was more of the long term player.

Doing this allows Self to get better immediately and keep the cupboard loaded for the next few years. It’s a pretty smart play with a history of success for him. That’s my thought on today’s signing.

Yes, next year appears to be the most talented team on paper since 2010. That team was loaded:

Starters:
Sherron Collins
Tyshawn Taylor
Xavier Henry
Marcus Morris
Cole Aldrich

Bench:
Brady Morningstar
Elijah Johnson
CJ Henry
Tyrel Reed
Markieff Morris
Thomas Robinson
Jeff Withey

Forced Non Freshmen Redshirts:
Mario Little
Travis Releford

Newman isn't getting drafted into the NBA. Doubt that will change after any season in his college career, but whether he comes back might depend on what Self can tell him about playing time next year.

He needs to learn to do everything better. And what he's actually got at in college (back to the basket scoring), the NBA has no use for. He'll be back for sure.

What is there to do? KU just isn't that good a team. They have one very good player (Graham) and not a lot else (especially when Svi is invisible like he has been the last two games).

They also should have lost to Baylor at home three weeks ago. Only reason they didn't was because of Drew.

Did he think that he was playing offense at the time? I honestly have no idea.

Meatloaf 02-10-2018 02:57 PM

Stating the obvious here, but we have one Center (Dok), one power forward type (Lightfoot), zero true shooting forwards, 3 shoooting guards (Vick, Svi, Neuman) and one point guard (DG). The sum total of our "contributing" reserves is Garrett, a freshman defensive specialist.

Boys, we simply don't have enough of what we need.

Lightfoot can't even stop a guard from going into the paint because he's too big of a pussy, much like Kaun was.

KU can't put their big guy late into games because he can't shoot FT and gets into foul trouble too much and they don't play D and get on the glass.

I was wrong when I stated Tech would fade back to the middle of the pack by the end of conference play much like Oklahoma is now.

Tech is Salty and isn’t going anywhere. We need the good KSU team to show up tonight. And hopefully tech stubs their toe a couple more times. And at the end of the day...we just need to beat them when we go down there.

The competition is night and day too. He's actually playing some half-decent college basketball players in these games now and he's wilting as you'd expect of somebody of his limited basketball ability. Doesn't help that he's soft and also has no confidence at all.

Classic PB idiocy.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, gives a **** about the teams who made the Final Four in 2009. Shit, I would bet money you couldn't name the four teams without looking them up.

Everyone who is a fan of college basketball knows about the UCLA record.

Winning 14 Farm League titles in a row is a historic achievement that will never get repeated again. I'd rather Kansas make history.

I'm tired of arguing with people about this. Your goal is to get the highest seed you can, and Bill Self has done that in his time here. In fact, KU has the HIGHEST average seed of ANY team in the last 14 years. That doesn't always equal FFs and National Championships in a six game single elimination tournament. In gambling terms, KU has just "run bad" and been unlucky.

You can't pick NOT winning the league instead of Final Fours. You try to do both, and let the chips fall where they may in the NCAA Tournament.

Highest average seed, but only two final 4's and one national championship. Don't get me wrong, i want them to win the conference, but i won't be upset if they don't.

Selfs goal every year should be a final four. But i know, i know muh crapshoot.

It has nothing to do with "focus" or "goals." KU didn't win conference titles for over a decade because they focused on them more than anybody else at the detriment of the NCAA tournament. It has to do with KU having the most dominant run in college basketball history over the past 13 years, a run that will almost certainly never be replicated.

The fact that it is coming to an end this year also doesn't make them any more likely to do better in the NCAA tournament. In actuality, it makes them far more likely to do worse.

Unless we're winning more national titles at the same time, I certainly wouldn't. All Final Fours guarantee you is the right to be the second or third loser in a 68 team tournament. I don't get the infatuation with them.

I want them to win the conference until eternity, and I want them to win the conference tourney and ncaa tourney every year :shrug:

They could get lucky and win it all this year :|

John Calipari(Memphis/Kentucky): 398 wins overall (38 of these vacated), 35 tournament wins (5 of these vacated), 1 NCAA championship
Roy Williams (North Carolina): 363 wins overall, 34 tournament wins, 2 NCAA championships
Tom Izzo (Michigan State): 335 wins overall, 27 tournament wins, 0 NCAA championships
Rick Pitino (Louisville): 337 wins overall, 26 tournament wins, 1 NCAA championship

So which one of these guys are we firing that underachiever Self for? LMAO

This is where we were in March 2016 during that year's whining. Not going to do the exact math (Kansas has gained on Duke/Coach K and MSU/Izzo since then and lost some to UNC/Roy), but they are certainly no underachiever in the tournament.

Villanova has had the same tournament success in the past 10 years as KU. Uconn has won more national championships than us.

I guess that would depend on how you define "tournament success."

Villanova has made it out of the first weekend just twice over the last ten years (and missed the tournament entirely once), UConn has made it out of the first weekend three times over the last ten years (and missed the tournament entirely three times). Kansas obviously blows both of those programs out of the water in that regard.

Since 2000 is disengenuous since Roy had 9 of them. So Roy since 2002 has 49 wins and Self has 36. Quite a gap. Self has won a lot of games vs low seeds because he's always a 1 or 2. Rarely beats a peer team in the Tourney tho.


He's like 18-4 vs top 5 teams in regular season so that's obv a HUGE, incredible stat in his favor. Something is broken in the tourney for him tho.
