Damn.
Perry Ellis sad face.
So, Perry Ellis resting face.

Ochai, Devonte, Dok, Darnell Jackson and T-Rob for me. Sherron doesn't make my list of favorites at all.

Frank over anyone.

Yeah, I had Sherron in my top 5...but then, Frank showed up.

It’s been like 5 or so years, but Self mentioned off the cuff at a presser that his 5 faves were…I wanna say…

Frank, Devonte, Sherron, Josh Jackson, Embiid?

Self loved him some Braun too

when embiid makes that 25 million dollar donation to the University he will crack my top 75.

I'm sure it's no one's surprise but i'm all aboard this Frank train.

Hey we agree!

After Frank's sophomore year I stated he would be as good as Sherron when his career was over.
Dot net came at me.

Also do not go to kusports.net.

the only box BIFM doesn’t check is the natty one

4-year guy
year over year improvement
tough as nails
NPOY (10 different ones)

and on, and on, and on…the most decorated player in KU basketball history

Lots of ink too

And sweet hair to boot.

Frank is what Sherron could have been if Sherron spent the summer before senior year busting his ass BIFM style, instead of double fisting crunchy chicken cheddar wraps at the underground.

Thanks officials Nova 2016.

On the flip, least favorite players under self (that weren't kicked off team):

Morris, Morris, Selby, Alexander, Bragg (he technically wasn't run off team).

Cliff is definitely up there

Greene, too

it’s tough though, since hs “buzz” is waaaay to often over-valued

I did not like Brannen Greene.
Morris twins.
Grimes.

Cliff was a much-needed muscle in the paint circa 2015, escpecislly once he started coming on (remember Hawklin’s “Merry Cliffmas” thread). He also threw down one of the all-time Self-era dunks.

But yea, all the subsequent drama from the F the NCAA thread was a bummer. And prob the reason why the NCAA (F them btw) launched a years-long witch hunt against KU

I liked Morrii tho.

Selby was a bummer and prob coulda been great if not for Bruce Pearl’s ribs/injury/being told he was a sure fire NBA player since he was like 14. A healthy sophomore year coulda changed a lot for his legacy.

Carlton Bongg was a bummer. So much potential but a knucklehead.

Greene was a good pure shooter but unathletic and a doosh - I think the only player ever suspended for being an asshole to his own coaches and teammates in the locker room.

In conclusion, the most unlikeable player in the Self era remains Face Ass.
