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.
Some services had Bidunga top 5 in his class at one point, but I think his composite is 14 right now. More importantly, I've heard his camp knows that he's a bit raw and doesn't expect him to start or play huge minutes as a freshman.
A week or so ago, I was hearing that Kugel probably wouldn't make it, but apparently they're a lot more optimistic about it now.
