Who would you want to replace him? Or who is on your list?

Does my choice have to be realistic?

Thank **** I decided against it, this was the worst loss at any level of basketball I’ve ever seen

I told you this was the same team as last year

I can’t wait for this season to be over. I won’t miss KJ, Dickinson or Harris. The rest of the guys can get bent too I don’t care lol. These last two years have been a horrible look under Bill Self. Can’t believe I’m saying that

Same team? They didn’t do anything like this shit with McCullar out there

No it wasn't... Try losing to NC State in the Finals when you're Phi Slamma Jamma. I was in Albuquerque that night...Then there was Georgetown losing to Nova.
This was just a big game regular season loss. Nothing more. Plenty of season left.

Just imagine what Mayo will do in that kind of game in a tough environment if this is what he did at home? Just start shitting his pants on the floor?

Bidunga alone is an improvement, but it’s clear that Harris just puts a ceiling on any team that doesn’t surround him with 3 NBA wings.

Add Adams in there and you’ve got a low floor, low ceiling team. Doesn’t really matter what else you have if those two are playing major minutes.

Point guard is priority 1 in the portal. Absolutely have to be better there.

We thought we appreciated Mason, Graham, and Sherron, but we didn’t show near enough gratitude for them.

Nate Oats is the list (incredible offensive coach and good recruiter), I’ve wanted him the last couple of years. Self isn’t going anywhere though

Yeah there’s a reason he wasn’t recruited here out of high school and you can see why in these types of moments against big boy squads.

What the **** are you talking about

KU turned the ball over the last 3 times in regulation to send it to overtime and then blew a 6 point lead with 18 seconds left while shooting FTs at the end of 1OT

That was literally the biggest meltdown in KU basketball history (and it’s a long ****ing history)

Nate Oats would’ve murdered KJ Adams in his sleep.

I’ve heard about his practices. Basically tapes off the floor so you can only shoot 3’s or bunnies/dunks. Anything else is an inefficient shot.

Ya know, modern basketball.

Sure but even Timberlake had more guts than this guy. Some guys have “it’” and some don’t, he clearly doesn’t despite the talent.

It’s a beautiful dream but it’s never gonna happen. Self is going to call the shots on his exit and that’s nowhere close

Boil that all down to a first weekend exit again. I'm sick of Dajaun, he's an absolute bricklayer. He also tried to choke away the ncaa championship game.
