We back baby

He seemed to think he was some trend setter doing it. I don't really get it.
Developmentally - I think college basketball is better than the National Basketball League (NBL) of Australia.
Marketability - I think playing playing nationally televised college basketball games is better for future brand deals vs nobody in this country seeing you play games in the NBL.
Legacy - Even guys that only play a season in college are beloved by a fan-base and a university. Playing a season with the New Zealand Breakers won't get you the same level of goodwill.
I mean as great as Zion is what would have been his buzz had he just played in the Australian league?
The only angle I have here is, Pro scouts will see you play where ever. It doesn't have to be on ESPN. Look at all the foreigners in the draft.
I do agree their USA branding is much better if they play in the USA.
If pro scouts will see you play where ever then shouldn't it be about development and playing time? I mean if he only gets like 10 mins a game in Australia is that a win just because he got paid to play?
I get that playing pro overseas you get out of schoolwork and get paid. But I think college is good for guys to develop socially and mature even if its only for one season.
idk. seems to work for all the other foreigners drafted.
Again, their branding is not the same as college players, but that's just marketing.
Richards and EJ Montgomery returning to UK.... now we back more than KU back baby!
Two names that strike fear in the hearts of college basketball players and coaches everywhere!
I mean, why would they have taken a pay cut to play in the G league?
The walking Injury Azubuike strikes fear into the medical staff wanting a day off ............
We dont need our 5 spot to strike fear...... we just needed guys that can rebound and hit put backs and let our other studs be the heroes.
also we dont pay players unless they strike fear into college ball. Cal knows a players worth. He dont pay role players.
Which studs? The Bucknell guy? The PG who can't score?
Or are you already crowning the freshmen that you'll be making youth excuses for in November?
Maxey, Whitney, Brooks, and an improved Hagans If KU fans want to jump for joy at the thought of Dotson...... then you have to give us UK fans Hagans.
How many UK players, do you feel, Dotson is better than? All of them?
Just for fun, do you think anyone from UK is better than any potential starter for KU?
EJ is better than Azubuike .......... I guess if you wanna play the tinted glasses game I'll put mine on too.
If Dotson is better simply because he took more shots on a worse team.......... then Sestina is a stud.........
Link?
A third straight win in Rupp was a tall order. Especially with a depleted roster.
you don't remember our year long avatar bet (on that game), in which I let you out of one month into it?
No, he’s better because he shot a higher percentage. Much higher from three. He’s clearly the better offensive player. Which is what we were discussing.
They weren’t a worse team the first third of the season btw, and his numbers were the same during that stretch.
Who, outside of the state of Kentucky, thinks that Hagans is better than Dotson?
Sorry to hear this, some KU fans were really hoping he was gone.
I apparently remember it better than you do. I never predicted a win or boasted. You randomly offered a bet and I accepted.
Sooo...you never predicted a win, but accepted a year long avatar bet. OK. Laughing
Dotson had a better freshman year. To say he's much better is laughable though.
And I reiterate...WE BACK

I don’t expect Grimes to return to KU. Regardless, I think they still need a shooter. Hopefully Wilson.
Sounds like he and his people didn’t get along with Self. Didn’t accept his role—wanted the ball in his hands. I’ve heard his work ethic was poor.
Sounds like his family wants him to transfer. Question is, will somebody who is desperate to get to the league be willing to sit a year?
That’s the spirit shit all over the kid now that he’s not going to Kansas. He was the second coming 5 mins ago
