I hear his kids are already awesome at basketball.. It will be interesting to see how they end up physically because they should no doubt be GREAT at shooting it. Iowa State could have a three guard lineup of Hoibergs!

Because he was one of the worst shooters Self has ever had statistically, that would be why. He needs to be much better in that area next year.

But the eye test tells me that he was a much better PG on Friday against Michigan than EJ.

Wouldn't have been hard. EJ was completely awful in that game.

I wish he would have been the one bringing the ball up at the end of that game. Fact is that EJ single handedly cost KU that game. I'm pretty sure Tharpe would have kept the game out of reach for UM.

Self believed in trusting the veteran and going with the guy that got them there, for good or bad. I can't disagree with his trust in him at all after all that they/he did over the last two years (particularly during the tourney run last year). It just didn't work out this time. It happens.

Rio is a strange one.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Confused. Is he staying or going? Lucas just tweeted he's staying.

Lol crazy bastard. How about Selden last night? I'm so excited to see him play next year. His first step is like lightning. He surprised me as a passer as well.

Didn't see him yesterday, but I know he's very talented.

He looked like a more confident, aggressive and polished McLemore. Just so well-rounded. Due to the amount of talented OADs after next year I bet he stays for two years, depending on how he performs of course. He may play so well that it'd be impossible for him to stay.

Jalen Rose picked him to have the biggest impact next year and most impressive last night.

@abaker6sports: As of right now Rio Adams is looking to stay at KU. But until we hear confirmation from Self he is not a member of this team. #kubball

@abaker6sports: Personal opinion once Self released the statement on Adams leaving that was the end of Rio's KU days. Self not interested in games #kubball

[Chiefs Pantalones]

@HoopsRecruiting: Kansas Guard Rio Adams tells @GaryBedore that he will stay at Kansas. Announced his intentions to transfer earlier this week.
