Lol of course the top 4 seasons would be all Brady and dajuan. Explains why self loved and valued them so much

BM is one of the most underappreciated basketball JAYHAWKS.

at the time, i am pretty sure he was my favorite.

No one is saying it’s BAD to have guys like Harris and Morningstar. What’s BAD is having to play guys like that 30mpg.

There's nothing wrong with playing a nationally top 12 pg 30 mpg

Dajuan is making 1st team B12 once in his career.
It might not be next ( i'm feeling he's on the 2nd team ) but it will happen.

dh has 2 years of eligibility left. good chance he gets his name in the rafters.

Good chance?
I don't think so. I don't see him being a 1st team AA or MOP.

Slight chance because Self isn't firm on these rules?
Yes.

Really bad depending on them in late clock situations. Not their game.

But Harris has already surpassed my expectations of who he'd be as a player. I think he's a great PG as long as he's playing next to a few shooters/shot makers.

I mean you'd want a more explosive more skilled guard playing next to a dajuan or Brady. You don't want to depend on them to be a 1 on 1 late shot clock guy.. But having those super smart super efficient role players that lock in on defense and are 100 percent team first guys is pretty essential to a program that wants to be consistently good

You dont want a team full of dajuans and Bradys. But you absolutely want at least one dajuan or Brady on every team

I don't disagree, but the problem during the Garrett/Harris era is that we HAVEN'T really surrounded those guys with shooters. If we're pointed toward playing KJ at the 4 next year, the problem gets even more acute.

We were the best team in country twice with those guys playing 30 mpg in very significant roles.

Christian Braun and Dajuan Harris Jr. were a dynamic duo long before they became teammates at Kansas Basketball. Braun & Harris' friendship dates back to their middle school days, when Braun's family took Harris in. Tune in as Dajuan Harris Jr. shares what it was like growing up with Christian Braun.

How about the whole thing? It's really good. https://twitter.com/gorockchalk/status/ ... 01760?s=20

I'm curious how much Juan is making through NIL. The way he put, he now buys whatever he wants, supports his family, and is saving. It's awesome to hear.

He also said that transfers are just looking to go to the highest bidder. Sorry those who thought there was more depth to the decision (pdub, tdub, me).

He also is genuinely modest.

sigh....nba free agency.....seems great....

That's the argument against.

But Juan, who grew up broke and probably doesn't have NBA potential, is going to make a nice chunk of cash for him and his family and has gotten tutoring and a college degree. He's the personification of what is good about NIL.

I just noticed that Harris didn't attempt a shot last night.

That's not okay. It's not clever, it's not cute.

If we're going to play Harris 30+ minutes - which we're going to, in every single game that matters - that is NOT the way forward.
