i mean bill self is pretty good but his concepts are no longer cutting edge. i'm skeptical of it being anything but the adidas thing.

There's Kansas buzz, but him still coming should mean we still have a shot.

The question for me is that they have Flory Bidunga who was a 5 star C in this class. He'll be behind Dickenson but is going to play and expect to start next year. So it would be a surprise to me. If this kid is a few years out, then maybe they make sense.

Good grief what a bad take. The most modern offense/defense played by any team that isn't UConn is Kansas'. Hurley talked about the switching being something we hadn't seen because almost no college team can pull it off. The offense is very modern and sophisticated. Self talked about how much off ball screening we run and how he will probably borrow some of that. His team just had no depth or shooters last year.

And they were the third overall seed the year after when Bill Self had the health scare and missed the tournament.

We would've beaten them because nobody was beating us tournament time but Kansas was the team I least wanted to face.
 
yea the switching defense he played vs UConn was pretty great. but on offense he's more of a follower than leader nowadays. he had to be nudged to more of a 4 out offense, and kansas is a top 5 offense only seldomly and has more of a traditional shot mix. more adaptive than innovative.
 
Kansas thinks they lead. They are comparing Eric to Cole Aldrich. Not done yet, but definitely leaning.

If you use top 5 offense as the cutoff sure, but Kansas has had a top 10 offense 5 of the last 9 years

Reed will be the starting C here so Reibe could only start at PF unless stew is still here

Reed will start but Hurley typically does a nice equitable job of splitting up the 5 minutes. If anything a nice setup for him. To me, it’s the perfect situation. Step into the starter role year 2 with Youssef backing up.

I don't think that's a guarantee. At the very least, from Reibe's perspective, taking minutes from Reed/Singare is a lighter task than the former top 5 recruit at Kansas.

Yeah, I hate to say it but that puts our student section to shame. And we have a great one.

As someone who had student season tickets at both schools (including year 1 at Gampel behind the bench) AFH is really a different level.

Now look up the dorm for basketball players, McCarthy Hall. The videos are all old now, but it's pretty nice. Lots of reasons for any recruit to go to any number of schools.

Yeah. We have developed a very good fan base but you’ll never get UConn fans to go as nuts as they do at Kansas. I think it’s a cultural difference. Northeastern people are just more reserved and self conscious.

Looks like KU may be the team to beat here.
 
Yeah, well, this weekend he is here in Storrs, CT. We'll see what everyone's saying about Reibe next week. Chances are we will have big minutes available next year, depending some on how much Singare progresses this year.

Very true but projecting what incoming freshmen will do is…an inexact science to say the least. At least Clingan had a body of work to use to project from his freshman year. I think Danny will find out a lot about his team in October and November.

On a really positive note, what that list tells us is how insightful our coaching staff is at identifying talent that will produce beyond what the "experts" think.

They’re phenomenal at talent evaluation and development.

Can't see why any recruit would want to go here....

Personally, I find it difficult to respect a fan base that doesn't wander in to a game halfway into the first quarter. I mean, don't they have lives...

Huh? One of the best programs in basketball history. Great fanbase. Long lineage of NBA players. One of the best home courts in basketball. Embiid. Should we continue?

Who is “we”?
 
Alex K/Hassan/Samson will have more than Bill after this year
