He is a spitting image of his father. I thought it was Bryce when I first saw that picture.

I borrowed this from The Pistols Firing Blog:
The Thompsons — who thoroughly enjoyed the recruiting process (as they should) — decided it would be fun to prank Bryce’s future coach and his father’s former coach, Bill Self, about what college Bryce would be attending. Here’s how it went down.
“He’s about to call you,” Rod texted. “It’s not good around here right now. Shaking my head.” When Self asked why, Rod fired back: “OSU. I’m sick, but he has to tell you.”
Self immediately called a meeting with his staff, convinced the pursuit of Bryce was over. He told his wife. He was sick. Roberts, who also coached Rod as an assistant, tried to call the Thompsons. They didn’t answer. He sent Self a text: “My bad, Coach. I didn’t get it done.”
Then as Rod drove Bryce to school, he dialed Self and put the phone on speaker. “Hey, Coach, appreciate you, man, for recruiting me and showing me a great time,” Bryce said in a hushed tone. “It’s really been good and I just really appreciate the time you spent with me recruiting me, and like my dad said, it’s the right thing for me to call everybody, so I’m just calling to let you know that I WANT TO BE A JAYHAWK!”
“Rod,” Self said into the phone. “I’m going to kick your ass.”

Yeah I think he's going to be the perfect 2 year player. He won't be good enough to go pro this year, but next year, he will be a stud.

I like that he gets the ball and goes. He took a long rebound coast yo coast. Increasing tempo or getting more transition buckets would be a huge improvement for this team.

That was the first time in a while that I remember a player pushing the ball down the court so fast and finishing.
Still think that three point shooting form is atrocious. But he got one.
Pushed Enaruna out of that rotation quick like.

Yeah.
On a roster prone to passiveness, he attacks.

And yeah he’s our fastest ball handler in the open court

I feel like his absence hurt us more than anyone realized at the time. Great to have him back.
