The transfer portal opens today

This was surprising. Doesn't sound right.
Or does he use Calipari's agent? He always did a great job denying Calipari had any interest in jobs about which he'd never been contacted. Gets the name out at high levels and it worked...

"Kugel’s top 4 before committing to KU was Arizona, UConn, Houston, and Kansas."

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Pass.

I think that was his issue at Florida, passing...classes.

Considering they'll pass D1 athletes if they can manage to hold a pencil and breathe at the same time, that's really saying something

 

[my2cents]

These players still have to go to classes?

Self treats the portal the way I do my fantasy football team. At some point, late in the process, I am just making moves for the hell of it.

 

[bendm]

Self is pretty good at winning conference championships. Other than that. He's average.

and that was before baylor and isu got good and houston joined the big12

 

[bjc42]

Good news on kugel but KU still an elite 8 favotrite along with Houston, Bama, UNC, ISU, Duke, Baylor, and Gonzaga. I think we’re tier below unless AK comes back.

yeah. we need his experience to be in that upper tier tbh

It’s crazy…kids are getting more to play in college than the NBA All the NCAA has to do is remove the. 4 yr time limit and we have another pro league!

I got my PhD in basketball then did my postdoc in basketball and now I am coaching in my retirement!

Yeah those 2 championships sure are mediocre.

 

[Umami Zen]

Self has gotten up to the plate many times. Swingin' and missin' . Look at the percentages for UConn getting to the FF and delivering on championships. No team is even close in CBB history.

We all know UConn is 6 for 7 in final 4's and 6 for 6 in national championship games, it's unheard of outside of UConn.

What does that have to do with Bill Self and you calling him average outside of winning conference championships?

There's nothing average about Bill Self's resume.

Look at the talent he's coached and the money/NIL he has had access to over the years and tell me it compares to UConn's success without that leverage,

Next thing you're going to tell me is Cal is as good as JC.Crazy take

There's more to sports than national championships, which Self has 2 of, tied for the most among active coaches. Or did you not feel anything when we won the Big East regular season and tournament championships?

Why do you keep bringing up Self in relation to Hurley/UConn? That comparison wasn't in your OP.

You are right. Most sports fans judge coaches on participation trophies and not championship trophies.

That’s basically it.

Xavier was doing that today.

This must be trolling.

Why would I compare him to UConn? We all know UConn has been by far the most successful program in college basketball the last 30 years.

There's nothing average about winning two national championships, going to four final fours, seven elite 8's, and taking three different programs to an elite 8.

 

[Umami Zen]

This must be trolling.

Nope- I'm a UConn fan not a Kansas fan. Self has underachieved with the talent he has had. Do you live in Lawrence??

How does that compare to UConn's performance over the last 25 years? Self has underperformed. with the talent he has had.

 

[superjohn]

Again why do you keep comparing Self to UConn over the last 25 years? UConn has won 6 national championships in that time frame, twice as many as any other program.

UConn dominating college basketball has nothing to do with Bill Self being "average." This is an incredibly stupid line of questioning/thinking.

You said Bill Self has been average outside of winning conference titles, that's a ridiculous statement.

If you think Self has maximized the talent he has had over the last 20years he's had at Kansas based on his team's accomplishments as champions. You're stupid. This isn't rocket science, It's about results.

 

[superjohn]

You're just making up wild arguments in post after post all because you said something really stupid.

In the future just admit you said something really stupid.

Dan Hurley and UConn have skewed reality for you. And you sound clinically insane.

He has one less championship than Jim Calhoun. There’s nothing mediocre about what he’s done
