  @dylans Self recruited “real guys” from the portal the last two years. It didn’t work out. Now Self has recruited players fit his system offensively and play defense. None of the players have been elite 3 point shooters, but KU won’t be bad either. Dawson has consistent been around 37% at Loyola-Chicago so even the usual dip would still likely keep him around 34/35%. Tre White has gotten better each season by about 3% which if he continues that trend puts him around 35-36%. Council has been pretty, but his FT% suggests he could keep improving and his efficiency should be better with reduced usage. This team won’t be elite shooting, but not the dumpster fire you think either. Flory will make big strides between his freshmen and sophomore seasons with his biggest gains coming in the weight room. His body has plenty of room to add muscle mass so don’t be shocked if he starts next season with 15-20 lbs. of added muscle. He’ll average a double-double next season and potentially lead the Big 12 in rebounding.

  @SlimShaddy54 said in KU Roster for 25-26: @Woodrow Zero , for one been hearing if the recruit over Tre White he is out Again? lol consistent I guess. To commit and never set foot on campus twice would be hilarious.

  How will our coaches adapt to rosters full of 1 to 2 year guys?

  @MR11 I’m sure you are spot on. And since he usually likes that 1:2:2, like @Texas-Hawk-10 mentioned, it definitely requires some practice.

  He is young and only played basketball in the States for a few years now. Just part of his growth that’s to come.

  @BigBad said in NCAA Tournament Discussion: Modern basketball in a nutshell. Down 2 in the bonus and you get nothing going to the basket. You attempt a half ass elevator screen to free up a 28’ three. Yes I know there were other options before that last one. But this modern chuck every 3 imaginable has just led to kids settling for bad long shots. Perhaps a bad shot in the bigger picture but was it a bad shot for Sharp? Kid takes a lot of those kinds and hits them too. Play call wasn’t great, but perhaps just better execution by the defense. Sharp doesn’t get the shot off due to a great close out.

  Tre is going to be an important piece of this team on both ends. Another good chess piece

  @kuballin10 I do still think this topic is generally true as a whole tbh. People expect huge leaps from returning players and that has happened with some guys it’s because they put the work in. Others like KJ were just genuinely about already maxxed out when they got here. His per 40 stats are pretty similar every year for example and he was a hard worker. Some guys just can’t develop in some aspects.

  @approxinfinity said in Staff changes for 2025-2026: Ok. Thanks guys… do you feel the absence of a GM will put us at a competitive disadvantage this off season? Do we have enough cabbage to field the roster we want? Without any semblance of transparency in this new NIL era, these questions are impossible to answer. For any public institution, all $$$ transactions should be recorded for all to see. Who knows, maybe Self and Co. are brilliant money managers.

  @nuleafjhawk the recruiting profile was different. The timeline much shorter. But the same amount of nattys. She’s at UConn women’s team. It’s a good fit. They are doing quite well.
