We've only won one NC since Hudy left.

I'm not convinced she was any better than nijem. Hudy was good, so is he.

Yes. He is. But I think it's easier for a back up center to be effective as a raw athlete, than say a guard (like elmarko as a raw freshman)DeletedUser wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 8:23 pmWell, probably a good thing.

I want HD back. He's better than anything we've got in the works.
I'm equally as shocked that you are the one butthurt. It's just a realistic take. Did hudy did a good job? Yes absolutely. But has nijem been just as good? I think so. And yet he's never talked about while she was constantly.jfish26 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:32 amShocking, this take.

You guys are basing your assessment that he is raw on what? 1 game? Or that he's 18 or 19 years old? Or that.....randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:25 amYes. He is.

All bidunga needs to do is be athletic and play with good energy. Run the floor rebound contest shots and set screens
Watching film. Putting up numbers doesn't mean he's got a refined game. He's just bigger and more athletic than his competitionRainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 10:03 amYou guys are basing your assessment that he is raw on what? 1 game?

I'm asking because my guess is he is very raw but......
If am not mistaken, in his state championship game he put up 31 points, 19 rebounds, and 8 blocks.
If I were to assess him based on one game I might conclude the kid is a beast ready to jump directly to the NBA.
So....
Maybe he can be, and is, both at the same time?
I hope for his sake and KU's sake, he is in beast mode for KU in 2024/2025 and earns himself a spot as a lottery pick in the 2025 draft.
"butthurt" behavior is going out of your way to make a political point where none needed to be made.randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:48 amI'm equally as shocked that you are the one butthurt.

You might even argue nijem has been better. Look at the results of guys like udoka, McCormack, agbaji, Wilson
For the record I'm not complaining one bit about her work. She did a hell of a job. But nijem worked with professionals and is doing just as good, maybe better
Fish has a long history of getting worked up if you say something obviously true but not pc. Hudy was really good at her job. Nijem is really good at his job. One almost never gets mentioned, the other people would never shut up about. Rarely do strength and conditioning coaches get much public praise or broadcast time

Not hard to piece it all together
I think there's something to that. Thinking about De Sousa. He came in halfway through the season and struggled early, but then figured out to just go after rebounds and look for lobs and he was really good.DeletedUser wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:34 amAgreed.randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:25 am
