WELCOME HUNTER DICKINSON

[UnholyLivingDead]

any idea about the size of his contract?

Big enough to keep Bruce Weber up at night crying about it.

[PortlandHawk]

So is Hunter like a mix of Cole Aldrich and Dedric Lawson? What past players is he most comparable to?

I think the closest would be “fully-realized Padgett”.

[KUTradition]

definitely not as skilled defensively as Cole

Deepest frontcourt we've had since we had a first team AA backing up two lottery picks.

I'm just ready to have some ball handlers that can handle the ball when Dajuan is out. That was an absolute weak point of the team.

Back to Dickinson. Dude is going to be a stud. He's the best collegiate big here since TRob. 60% FG shooter. 35% 3 point shooter. 75% from the line. And durable as hell.

Dok > Dickinson

Dok's best season was 13.7 ppg and 10.5 rpg in 27.7mpg. I love Dok but I think Dickinson will be able to eclipse Dok's productivity pretty easily.

But I’m not super comfortable with that comp (fully-realized Padgett). We just haven’t had this size/skill combo much. Game very much like Wayne’s, but in a different frame.

Why don't you go argue moral superiority with ISU fans about their scumbag football player who broke a woman's back and then raped her instead of calling her an ambulance.

All I have to say about KSU right now is…go ahead and gloat while the sun’s shining on that dog’s ass. We’ve seen quality come and go. I also would absolutely NOT jump out in front and gloat about them doing things any sort of right or wrong way.

[KUTradition]

but, but…tang got them to stop the “fuck KU” chant!!!

[pdub]

Shorts on backwards left out the million(s?) of dollars but totally, I have no issues saying Kansas > Kentucky and Self >>>> Cal.

[KUTradition]

honest question (perhaps without a knowable answer): can KU really offer better NIL options than uk?

From what i've seen, no on the Cole Aldrich, not on the defensive end.
Aldrich won B12DPOY 2 years in a row.

I'm sure David Booth, bathing in stock profits, can drop a 500k to a million every season.
Even within Lawrence, we have a very powerful booster program.

It's one of Surly's shticks.

[pdub]

The "size of his contract" isn't even really a putdown against us anymore.
It's very high, I'm certain, more than ksu could shell out.

We're playing the new system ( regardless of what you think about the new system ) to a tee.
Without a threat of being caught/punished for getting the players Self wants, we will continue to dominate while he is here and beyond.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

If Dickinson goes for 19.4, 10.3, 49% FG, would we consider that superstar impact?

Maybe but I'm looking more for RAFTERS from him!

[randylahey]

Honestly, a slightly taller healthy David McCormack might be the better KU big man comparison lol

Has anyone ever told you that you're insane?

Yeah, Aldrich isn’t the right comp. I think Wayne in a bigs-shoot world might be closer.

I don't think there is a proper comparison given we've never had a big who was a legitimate threat from outside
