Sophomore Zach? Freshman Ernest? Junior Jalen?
I'm thinking Junior Jalen won't exist.

Not many expect MJ Rice to come here. We’ll be hitting the transfer market again.

This thread seems appropriate place to talk about udeh's coming out party @ou today. We haven't had a center with length move like that since...? Freshman embiid (dok was bigger but not as mobile)

Udeh seems poised for a big February and March. I'm sure it'll have its ups and downs. But hes figuring it out. Chance to be a defensive player of the year type as a sophomore

He will definitely be a defensive presence next year....but to be a DPOY you have to be able to stay out of foul trouble, so he will have to improve that area of his game. He's averaging 7 fouls per 40. For reference Dok averaged 5.1 5.7 and 3.5 fouls per 40 his last 3 years (a whopping 8.7 as a freshman though).

When Self says he’s the best player of the game he looks like he’s holding back tears.

These are the dudes you want playing for KU.

I like the way you think.

And welcome back.
Defense. Rebounds.

Unfair comparison: remember Joel embiids length and mobility on defense late in his freshman season. We saw shades of that from udeh in the @OU game

The court looks different when he plays like that

KJ and Udeh are going to be such a problem next year.

I worry about KJ as a 4 next to a BIG. There will be an adjustment because he is a non threat outside of 10ft.
