I wouldn't even mind if we had a reset year. Have a nice senior night for Dajuan, Hunter, and KJ, thank them for their time, let anyone else who wants to walk walk, and then bring in the best freshman class you can muster. Take your lumps the next year with young guys learning, but build the culture back. Recreate the system. And then if you want to go get one transfer guy the next year who fits, try it. But these hockey line change transfer classes are messing college sports up.

High level transfers are what it’s going to be going forward if you want to compete and win national championships (not freshmen). It’s Self’s job to make that work. If he’s not up to that task, he should retire like Jay Wright and the rest of them.

It’s the laziness that is getting him benched right now.

There is a guy on the Alabama football team with the FIRST name Jihad. That is even worse.

Never been able to pass
Never been able to defend
Never been able to rebound
Never been able to block shots
Never been able to get steals

He's good at shooting alot of bad 2 pointers and not really making them very often

KJ doesn’t do any of that either and plays way more than him, it should be noted.

Does anyone actually eat those KFC bowls? It just feels like KFC markets those to a very specific person: we know you're fat and don't give a ****, you know you're fat and don't give a ****... you like mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, fried chicken, sauce and shit, so here it is in one big bowl of slop you ****ing pig. eat up mother****er.

KJ can defend all five positions.
KJ can score on 2 pointers efficiently.

Flawed player. Still better than Storr. If we could just get Storr to stand on the wing and only shoot 3s. That'd be great.

I’ll give you defense but KJ doesn’t score on anything efficiently. He literally destroys their half court offense just by being on the court at all. Has for 2 years now.

KJ Adams is a 60% career 2 point shooter

AJ Storr is 45%. He's just awful. He could be good. Thats the frustrating thing but I'm convinced he's tarded.

That’s because Adams only shoots from within 3 feet, he can’t shoot any further than that. He’s one of the worst starting offensive players this program has ever had.

No shit.

I'd rather watch a team like the 06 team than this.

I had one once. Not as good as just getting a meal and eating everything separately.

I'm not a fat slob for the record.

I don't know, but it looks like the whole team is lazy.

I don't see it happening. At this stage, I feel like Bill is trying to find lightning in a bottle for one season, hoping it all works and comes together one last time before calling it a career. But due to Bill's style, I'm not sure if this is ever gonna be a true recipe for success.

[PHOG]

Adams certainly has that yell down pat.
