Let’s get things back to normal.

Disclaimer:

Any type of argumentative mentions of DH, KJA, or HD will result in a ban from the thread.

Perfectly fine to mention them if it’s relevant to the discussion.

Unfortunately, he was not just handed to KU.

Kansas will have to pay for his services.

I know nothing about this guy but he's probably one of the best basketball players that's ever lived because he plays for KU now.

He's already passed KJ in my opinion.

He is the same height as KJ. And he has heart.

The White handed?

13.9 points, 1.9 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game. The next KJ Adams?

A perimeter player who routinely attempts 10+ threes and hits at a 37% clip is the next KJ Adams.

Yikes. I see why you laugh at reasonable takes.

You understand that they had about 8 spots to fill, right?

Yes I do and I don’t think they've got one good starter from the transfer portal yet.

According to analytics expert Evan Miya (evanmiya.com), White grades as an A- overall player with standout traits in defensive impact, 2-point shooting, and rebounding.
His D1 percentile rankings show impressive efficiency:
93rd % in offensive rebounding rate
95th % in 2nd chance points per game
87th% in eFG%
87th% in FG% at the rim
49% in 3P%
89% in half-court FG%
87% in transition FG%

FG% by zone per CBBAnalytics
CBBAnalytics.com's player comparison model matched White's playing style to several recent Big 12 standouts:
Kevin Obanor (Texas Tech)
Cameron McGriff (Oklahoma State)
Terrence Lewis (Iowa State)
These comparisons, based on 20 different statistical categories since 2018-19, indicate White's style fits the physical, high-efficiency role KU needs to fill.

Vernon’s latest on the bad player per BWillie

I’ve learned to ignore portal rankings. KU had plenty of highly ranked portal transfers who ended up underperforming.

Let’s see how the pieces fit when the puzzle is finished before we react too much to these guys.

Hell, some of them may get recruited over and leave anyway.

I love 29% 3PT shooters who have absolutely no playmaking ability...and has been to 3 diff schools in 3 years. Actually now 4 diff schools in 4 years.

Speaking of...AJ Storr had been to 3 schools in 3 years and averaged the same amount of assists as this guy.

Shot 33% from 3 last year and 82% from the line. He also started for a team that was better than KU last season.

26-6 now for KU baseball with another 9th inning win tonight. Omaha bound.

Drake is a great example
