Not so sure, this guy is a PG.

Didn't necessarily mean directly.

Fair enough, my bad! I guess I'm not sold on Ochai leaving just yet.

You're good...just rumors at this point.

Hope so. Want to have Och one more year.

Pure speculation, but I wonder if Jossell is weighing whether to stay on as a walk-on.

Odd that we haven't heard anything yet on him. Makes me think he's staying. Or else he would have gone elsewhere by now.

This guy aint coming in to back up. Remember this post.

He's a downhill scorer with athleticism and can shoot it a bit. It's a great fit.

He's also far and away better than Harris despite everyone's weird love for him.

This guy is Self's wet dream.

Oh, 100% on board with Yesufu over Harris.

I think they may be better on the court together. He's more of an undersized 2 than a PG, hasn't shown to be a great distributor yet. Pre-senior Mason was a good comparison, but a better shooter probably.

Yes, Pettiford too.

Self loves those itty bitty backcourts. Especially if they're tougher than shit napolean complex combo guards.

Well, give me TyTy and Yesufu then.

But, I absolutely think that Self brought in shorter guys like Yesufu and Pettiford in to compete for handling the rock. Otherwise the length comment would again not make any sense.

I think this is more of a taking-the-best-available-player thing, regardless of desire for length

Ousdahl should have a good joke for that

Double zings.

By available, you mean players that would actually commit here right now.


Maybe so, but I still think we brought him in to compete for the point guard position. It is pretty clear that Bill acknowledges how much of an issue it was. We might bring in 3 point guards that were not even on our radar in January.

If he starts over Harris we again have the problem of having only one guy who can really create off the bounce (I guess two if you include Wilson). I don't doubt that Yesufu will play the point some, but I think we'll still see a lot of Harris.

Yesufu is better than anyone considering Kansas, including Tyty, so yes, that's what I meant by best available.

I think he's funny.

I also think Dad jokes and puns are funny.

edit: at least to the second part...not so sure about the first

well, when does a joke become a dad joke?



...when it becomes apparent...
