If KJ can find an even average (for a 4) outside game (sort of like what Thomas Robinson worked his way to)...we might not lose.

Deepest frontcourt we've had since we had a first team AA backing up two lottery picks.

Massive get. I feel pretty damn good about this roster now and there’s still a strong possibility of landing Mgbako or another impact transfer.

I'm just ready to have some ball handlers that can handle the ball when Dajuan is out. That was an absolute weak point of the team.

Back to Dickinson. Dude is going to be a stud. He's the best collegiate big here since TRob. 60% FG shooter. 35% 3 point shooter. 75% from the line. And durable as hell.

that five could be quite salty
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

SUPER BOWL!

You guys are welcome. Wouldn't have happened without me.
Unless my $5 contribution offer didn't make any difference in his decision.

I'll say this. 2 of the 3 of Elmarko, Morris and Timberlake is going to start. Morris was fine, but I think he's more of a backup PG. Elmarko has more size and seemingly better shooting.

Might add Mackenzie Mgbako to the mix in the next few days as well. Insane.

KU had three targets in the portal, Dickinson, Morris and Timberlake and landed all three.

I would be surprised if Elmarko starts. Self raved about Morris being able to move his feet on defense in his opening comments about his signing. Wouldn't be surprised if he sees Morris as a starter.

Morris is gonna start. Him and elmarko were similar prospects coming out of high school.

Here's the difference. Morris spent last year playing in the big 12 and practicing against Tyrese hunter, Marcus carr and sir Jabari Rice while elmarko spent his last year playing high school basketball

Elmarko is 3rd in that group, by a decent amount. He has a freshman learning curve ahead of him while he adjusts to the college game. And his jumpshot is still a work in progress, arterio might be a better shooter, but shooting isn't the strength for either

Morris will play "back up point" when dajuan is out. But will also play alongside him a lot of minutes

Fair points. See how easy that is people!? Just admit that other people make fair points and call it good. :)
