Absurd. Its almost universally accepted he should have played more for Kansas this year, than he did. This is one of the issues being saddled with Dickenshit gave KU. When Flory did play, he was crazy impactful.
3/4 Final 4 teams start players with almost exact same skill set as Flory. You need a rim protector and rebounder. With good guards in a ball screen offense, need someone to catch lobs and crash offensive boards. He’s a perfect fit.
You need a ton, most glaringly a PG that can guard. If Enright it our starting PG next season we are in trouble. Also need way more athletes all around the rotation. I like most on this list but not sure athletically they can keep up. Game is played at a fast pace and physical the line up posted above has glaring holes.
Enright had one of the highest assist rates in the country last year at 30%; good enough for 17th nationally. If you have shooters and scorers lined up 2-4, you don't need a 15 shot a game ppg. You need a guy who runs the offense and has a high A/TO rate. That fits Enright to a T. He's not a flashy player by any means and I'm assuming that's why so many are hesitant on him. But if he can protect the ball and hit an open 3....something he did plenty at Drake...he's a perfect fit.
how "long" is Flory? I thought that was something of a knock on him, when he was actually measured I thought he was 6'8"?
Has a 7'2 wingspan. Seen his weight listed anywhere between 220-230 but appears his frame can easily add another 10-15 lbs. Plays much bigger than 6'8 or 6'9.
Probably why Kansas' fans grumblings towards Self are getting louder and louder.
You'd have to ask Self that question for the real answer??
Would love to get in on a big like Bailey...Kentucky has been mentioned A LOT with him though.
None of his guards followed him. Atin Wright went to North Texas and was All-AAC and Kevin Overton went to Texas Tech and was one of the better 6th man's in the country.
Didn't he have a returning senior PG at WVU? Thought I remembered that and that folks were disappointed he didn't have eligibility left: Small?
Javon Small was there, and he brought in a different mid major guy Jayden Stone.
Javon Small has played 4 seasons, starting with the 21-22 season, which I think is the first non-Covid season. He played too many games each season to redshirt: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/javon-small-1.html
Looks that way... just was confused with the NBA draft declaration... I guess everyone has to announce everything these days??...
I think roster wise, he's a decent fit. Just not overly excited about him, at this point, as the starting PG. Assuming we're getting Conwell (GREAT get), I'd prefer someone alongside him, as our main backcourt...more like: Tahaad Pettiford, Miles Kelly, Denver Jones, Walter Clayton, Alijah Martin, Will Richard, Denzel Aberdeen, LJ Cryer, Milos Uzan, Otega Oweh, Lamont Butler, Aden Holloway, Mark Sears, Labaron Philon... pretty long list of types of guys like that. And there are probably dozens of them in the portal right now. Give IU a guy like anyone on the above list alongside Conwell, and have Enright come off the bench... THEN we have a B10/FF competitive backcourt.
who? Bunch of names being mentioned in this thread, although it is about Bidunga.
Bidunga. No contact means nothing really. Means he wants to be left alone and his agent(s) is doing all the work.
Universally accepted by everyone except the head coach? Sounds like Self needs to spend some time on the message boards so he can level up.
Probably why Kansas has 5 players currently in the portal right now. Self gave way too much leeway to his older players and why he subsequently had his worst season there in over 20 years.
Self's decisions led to one of his worst teams in over 20 years. I think he'd probably handle many things differently if he could. And the amount of portaled players indicates he is working to correct those mistakes. Or the roster is doing it for him.
I heard they granted him permanent eligibility?!
You were supposed to play along for a little while until someone took the rage bait!
The Jess Settles rule. If you haven't played 40 minutes in 36 games , you get an extra 2 seasons.
