    • RE: Reasons to believe in next year’s team

      @approxinfinity said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:

      Underclassman Sherron frustrated the hell out of me. If he hadn’t gotten that steal and 3 to put us in striking distance in the championship and then the fall down pass to Mario, I would have remembered a lot of the boneheaded things he did that season, including some head-scratching plays in the championship on a team full of pretty cool customers. My point being, Dajuan is not the first KU underclassman to make a few boneheaded plays in a championship he also did some very good things in.

      In particular, underclassman Sherron’s drives to nowhere, getting caught in the air with no option, and either turning it over or getting packed to Kingdom Come drove me absolutely nuts. So let’s allow that there may be a bit of lip-service hypberbole in Self’s assessment of Sherron as “one of the toughest” or whatever he said. Yes, Sherron was good, had a borderline great career by KU standards (high standards). He checks all the boxes for someone Self would praise.

      • Contributed his sophomore year to a championship run.
      • Waited his turn to start
      • Was from the Chicago area (want to recruit that!)
      • Was a 5 star McD (want to recruit that!)
      • Played 4 years for Self, probably should have left after his 3rd
      • First team All American
      • Wasn’t drafted because of size

      And importantly, his senior year, with 7 guys who made an NBA roster on his team, a team you would expect senior Sherron to lead, he lost to Northern Iowa.

      So don’t laugh when we suggest that lil Sophomore NCAA CHAMPION Dajuan Harris might end up having a better college career than Sherron.

      He just might.

    • RE: 2022 Transfer Portal Thread

      @Crimsonorblue22 I think Farmer is talking about experience within the program. Guys that know what it takes to play for Self. Just because the freshman Didn’t play much and Cam and Cuffe redshirted doesn’t mean they didn’t gain experience Im a big on team chemistry and I’m sure the staff is as well.

      @BShark any young man that loves his school and puts the team first is a keeper in my eyes. Hope Joe sticks around

      Keeping them off the free throw line will be key imo. Make them make shots because they are automatic from the line

      We open up as 8 point favorites against Providence. Seems a little high. Hope they’re right!!!

    • RE: Hypothetical: 5th Year Dave, What's the Fit?

      @BShark just saying that if we have a chance to get a real rim protector in the portal I say yes please. Tired of giving up so many layups from smalls. Udeh is going to be the guy that fills that role eventually, but unless he’s the next Embiid it’s won’t be next year. I see us having a bunch of 4’s that may play the 5 a little but no true post next year other than an unproven freshman. Just how I see it

    • RE: Hypothetical: 5th Year Dave, What's the Fit?

      @FarmerJayhawk With or without Dave, I believe our biggest need is a true rim protector. I think Dave is gone so yes, a proven defensive presence is what I would like to see

    • RE: When Remy makes it back...

      @BShark agree. He’s better on a bad team. Needs the ball in his hands. Still I think he could come in in certain situations and help the team, I just don’t know if he is prepared to play that role

    • RE: Welcome Sydney Curry!

      @Texas-Hawk-10 I agree with your post except for Cam transferring. I think he knows his limits and will accept being a role player. I may be wrong but I think Cam just wants to be a part of a big time basketball team to close out a great career

    • RE: 2021-22 PER's & Stats

      Jalens a guy who can be so valuable to this team without scoring the ball especially the way Och and CB are playing. I hope he starts concentrating the other aspects of the game and stops pressing so much offensively. Play his role and I believe things will turn around for him. He’s just too good to be this irrelevant

    • RE: Pastries for Thought

      @BShark won’t last. He’s to skilled. He just has to settle down and stop pressing. One good game will take care of that

    • RE: Well kind of boring afternoon , anyone for memory lane ?

      @wissox I was a Freshman at Pratt JUCO and we got to play a Scooter Barry led KU jv team just before the KU Louisville gane. We (the Beavers) actually won the game quite handily. Found out later that the coach for that jv squad was a Grad Assistant named Bill Self! So I’m wondering if it’s wrong to tell people that I was on a team that beat a Bill Self coached Kansas team in AFH! LOL!!
