Well Kansas is a freaking lock for preseason #1...

This is the deepest and best team Self has had in a while. Lot of experience as well

It’s not how you drive. It’s how you arrive.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Nobody's a lock yet. Plenty of moves to be made.

I don't see Zeke starting over Griffen. Griffen started for a Final 4 team.

 

[Yet Another UK Fan]

Don’t care if they are # 1 all season long. They won’t be at the end of it.

Yeah and Kansas has a HOF coach too. They will be very hard to beat.

Who will be?

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Who was preseason #1 this past year? My memory escapes me. 🤔

I remember when UK used to be preseason #1.

Good times.

Good times.

I remember when UK used to be postseason #1.

Better times.

I wonder how many times the postseason #1 team didn't win the title?

I’m sure you tell that story often.

Said before the season that they shouldn’t have been #1, especially after losing Morris. Couldn’t believe that a team with little athleticism, virtually no shot creators, and weak outside shooting was consensus #1.

But to Bill’s credit, he had them looking pretty legit in the first half of the season. After McCullar went down, they probably weren’t a top 20 team.

We sure are lucky that we don't have to deal with Kansas and their HOF coach in the SEC year in and year out.

Fortunately, UK has an all-around winning record and a winning record at AFH against them, but I get why some fans would say that.

I'd personally love it if they were in the SEC. Stiffer competition would be great.

 

[FaithPlusOne]

Stiffer competition would be great.

Be careful what you wish for.

Now you have to contend with Arkansas.

Aside from Kansas being a great program, I like the fact they do things the right way.

No doubt. I think the board should take bets on which KU player gets the annual suspension/kicked off team treatment.

Well, that is what I mean by doing things the right way. Self doesn't put up with any shenanigans. You do it right or you're punished.

I know he is HOF, but they should invent a new category higher than that for him.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Would also love for the SEC to add UNC.

The more Final Four caliber teams the merrier.

I think it’s important to focus on what is important. Bill Self now has more hair than the UK head corch.

Does he though?

LOL. Remind me how many KU players have been convicted of a crime. Even Morris’s case was dismissed.

Meanwhile, a football player is arrested every week in Lexington. They just sweep the basketball shit under the rug.

It's funny you said "under the rug".

Nevermind the Hall of Fame, he's in the Halls of Justice.

It was a deft move for sure.

Alabama will have something to say about that if Mark Sears comes back.

He gone.

KJ, Flory, Kugel,Passmore, Elmarko

I'm pretty sure he's going to consult with you on this.

Knowing Bill, it'll be hard to pry KJ out of the starting lineup. But I think we'll see that lineup often, and that's all that really matters.

 

[bignish]

KU’s roster is deep, experienced, talented and fits well. Self knocked it out of the park this year. He addressed the shooting issue they had from last year.

A starting 5 of Harris, Storr, Griffen, Adams and Dickinson with Zeke Mayo, Elmarko Jackson and Flory Bidunga is very formidable and deserves to be Preseason #1.

I've heard Riley Kugel has academic issues so not sure if he"ll stick on the team. Also, is Flory ok coming off the bench when he's a consensus top 10 recruit? Consensus top 10 HS recruits nearly always start in college so that'll be interesting to monitor. Bidunga can only play the 5 and Dickinson is clearly a college 5. Bill has an infatuation with KJ Adams so I doubt he wouldn't start.
