Optimism abounds, but might take a bit for everything to gel.

For next year? No we are going to be awesome. Was kind of right about this year's team wasn't I. I think I said ceiling was like a 3 seed, though.

This is going to be a #1 seed type team. If they can defend, look out.

Our offense will be fierce next year. Can’t defend anyone (Garrett was the only one who could this past year), but we will score a lot.

Fans said that about the 2018 team - Devonte, Svi, Doke, Newman -and it turned out to be so. Very good scorers, meh defenders, Final Four.

That's why Harris needs to play, and alot as a back up PG. Whenever he comes in Remy becomes more of a scoring guard. Harris is undersized but good on the ball and elite at deflection and steals. Probably 2nd or 3rd best defender on last years squad. Last year since we couldn't score he actually may have had lesser value and role then on this one.

I hope Yesefu takes almost all of Brauns minutes, thought.[

Harris can’t play more than 10-12min because we are already small and can’t rebound very well. Mac isn’t as good a rebounder as he should be and we are small everywhere. Wilson gets some boards. Prob our only plus-rebounder

Braun struggled last year but Self is going to give him 30/game and you can count on that. He’s the new Morningstar

Morningstar was way better than Braun...which says quite a bit.

Morningstar was a really good defender and I think he led the conference in 3P% in 2009.

He also sat a lot when the talented group came in later. As well he should have. So there is that.

Jalen Coleman Lands played against Georges Niang and Denzel Valentine while they were in college. If that gives you any idea how old this guy is.

RaidersOftheCellar · 07-03-2021, 05:56 PM

It’s hard to get too excited about final four or national title possibilities until seeing some teams in action. I expect a lot of solid teams when the dust settles after this free agency craziness.

smithandrew051 · 07-03-2021, 06:36 PM

Offseason topic. Top 5 Favorite KU Players Ever.

Not the best, just your favorite players to watch. I’ll go first.

1. Nick Collison
2. Frank Mason
3. Jacque Vaughn
4. Raef Lafrentz
5. Mario Chalmers

Titty Meat · 07-03-2021, 06:48 PM

Pitt St will player a tougher game against Kansas than MU will.

Kiimo · 07-03-2021, 08:09 PM

We're gonna be loaded but holy moly so is Kentucky. Rumor is that Kofi Cockburn is going there. They could practically have three platoons

Man. 5 is tough.

1. Chalmers probably.
2. Aldrich.
3. TRob/Tyshawn Taylor
4. Mason
5. Heinrich/Boschee.

I’m open to the idea the 3 and 5 don’t work without the other.

The guy who belongs on probably only my list is Travis Releford. Defensively he was awesome. It was truly great to watch the dude work. I love me some Releford.

EDIT: Had to switch Vaughn for Mason. I cannot leave Mason off.

Wouldn’t call them loaded yet, but they’re still chasing a few.
