Since we're talking Self, it's worth noting that his one NCAA championship came with Sherron Collins and Mario Chalmers, his two NBA point guards, in the same starting lineup. All the talented big men he's had on other teams have led to NCAA flameouts without NBA quality point guards. Rooting for Kansas basketball is like rooting for UConn 2005-06, every year.

Just another data point supporting the strategy of a 2 point guard lineup. Ollie-Sheffer, El Amin-Moore, Taliek-Ben, Kemba-Shabazz, Napier-Boatright, it's the way to go.

You're not asking would you rather play for Calhoun or self. Ollie gets credit for Shabazz and Boatright only. That's the best sell he can make to a 5 star pg right now. Every other dynamic is in Selfs favor, and he can use the two pg system won him a championship as well.

Jalen Adams: recruited by Ollie and Self.

The intensity with which the two programs recruited Adams was not remotely comparable. We always bring up Kansas in the context of Adams but they weren't exactly throwing a full court press at him.

That being said, the idea that there aren't kids out there that would rather play for KO than that goober Bill Self is a little bit silly and sort of peak Boneyard circa 2017.

I wasn't giving Ollie credit for all those kids, I was making the point that two point guard teams win championships, which speaks to your claim about Quickley not having playing time due to Alterique Gilbert's presence.

As for Ollie's credit, he gets some credit for Kemba too. He was assistant at UConn 2010-11.
 
Giving up on 2018 Immanuel Quickley? We are having a situation, we should never give up, just maybe move on if and when its appropriate.

There is a heavy weight on this board caused by folks who insist the AAC, KO, KO's trainer, KO's big man coach, KO's staff moves or lack of staff moves, KO's learning curve, the prices at the dairy bar and/or Gampel's ceiling tiles mean we are doomed. Anyone trying to remain hopeful is tired of resisting the negativity.

I love position-less bball. And I would love for two position-less players like UNC's Hicks and Meeks play for UConn. That's my type of position-less bball. BTW, Bill Self? Sounds like an egotist to me.

I think Diallo broke a lot of people when it comes to recruiting. They are so very wary of being burned again after putting in such a long effort. Just need one big success to fix that. Hopefully.
 
Cant compete with the blue bloods for this Kid hes a first choice for guys like Kentucky Kansas Duke UNC etc NEXT

Louisville was our competition but Pitino came late with his offer or there is a good chance they would have signed Jalen.

Unless he works us in as a late addition to finalists. No Chill effect here.

If we get Waters, I doubt we will be getting any good point guard in the 2018 class.

Guess our 2018 point guard will be Jalen Carey. I'm fine with that

Yeah he's going to skyrocket up rankings. Definitely more scorer than floor general at this point, but most athletic kids are at 17.

Anyone know if we are in on any other PGs for 2018? I haven't really been following at all... too stressful ha
