As a Jayhawk fan, I see similarities in our teams. Some highly rated new talent (Bragg, Diallo, Vick; Labissiére, Murray, Briscoe, Mathews, Mulder.), and some glaring needs met for both squads.
We are now better down low, and Heaven knows we needed to be, and you have a killer guard line-up (which you needed) not to offend about the Harrison's. I'm a guest here.
It's all questions at this point isn't it?
Have Mason and Graham come as far as we think they have? Frank looked great in the Games, but a true test?
Is this a NEW Selden, or a Selden against weaker/sower foes?
How good will Graham be coming off injury? Greene? Same question.
Will Svi step up to expectations?
Will Hunter get real minutes or will Coach Self continue to play Jamari Traylor despite the clear evidence that he is just not good at basketball?
Will Murray turn out to be as good as the hype? (And man, on this board there has been a LOT of hype).
Can Ulis score? We all know he is stupid quick with good court vision, but can he add 8 a game to keep defenses honest.
Your bigs. Can Skal and Poy really carry the load inside with Lee and Willis backing them? I know KU has some challenges inside, but your down-low is kind of suspect and dependent upon Skal to be great as a freshman.
Don't get me wrong. Tons of talent, but a little thin and a Freshman.
This would be a good year to evaluate both of our coaches. I would not trade Coach Self for Cal and know you all feel the same way.
Good year for basketball. I wish we would play more often. Home and homes would be nice.
Good luck to you. (Except at Allen of course).
