Kansas basketball: Is Bobby Pettiford’s time in Lawrence coming to an end?

by Joshua Schulman5h ago

His name is not the only one that will come up in transfer conversations. Other players such as Zach Clemence and Joseph Yesufu could also leave after this season.

Our coaching staff certainly isn't going to deter him.

As long as we have a backup PG for next year, I hope they all leave.

NC was a legit winner to get to the title. They kicked our ass all over the floor that first half. I wouldn’t call that catching a break.

I’d expect they are all gone via transfer. +Rice?

I think, in theory, the NET is supposed to do this. The problem with the NET is it's a model based on past seasons and the theory that you normally have 10 to 14ish games at most that you have to get up for and play well to show what you can do. The model has no way of calculating how difficult it is to play an entire conference season against a Q1 team every game. It's not surprising that every team other than Texas, scored much lower on NET than where they got seeded. When Kansas was at the end of the year with so many Q1 games under our belt, the only way we could really start moving up the net was to basically crush people, and that's incredibly difficult to do against good teams.

Because of this, I actually agree with what KC_Connection said that Kansas never really had a shot at the top seed or even the two unless after the first reveal the other teams really stumbled badly. In fact I'd go so far as to bet Kansas was closer to being a 2 seed than the top 2 seeds based entirely on their net ranking being so much worse than Houston and Alabama. It's just what happens when you add unforseen data into a model that can't handle it.

I think it's possible we could cover the spread. I think when Dick is scoring, especially when he is scoring from all over the court, this team is very, very good.

But, when Dick can't score, this team can look bad, especially against athletic teams, and especially if that team has some length. I mean, TCU smoked us by 20+ in AFH, and Dick had 8 points. We just loss to Texas by 20, and Dick had 6 points.

And I said I think we win by double digits, just not 23.

Even if we were up 23 at the end of the game, the scrubs would then get more playing time, and it's likely that the 23 point lead would be lost.

What do you think MJ Rice is going to do? I feel like he believed he could be one & done like Dick. Could he get frustrated enough to leave, like Grimes?

I wish I could find whichever KU scouting "insider" it was that told me Pettiford was the next Sherron Collins so I could get arrested for assault.

Rice could be good... he just doesnt seem to have a lot of bbiq, currently. That can change as he matures, we will see if he sticks around for that. Probably not.

I remember someone saying "in 4 years KU fans will be in love with Pettiford". Don't remember the Collins comp, though. Thats a big swing and miss if so.

If you find out who it was, you beat the shit out him, I'll come in with the final kick.

Read KU’s profile.
