I bet he becomes more reliable from distance - not someone you fear but someone you have to at least guard.
Two years of Harris is a good thing.
Might as well make it three. He was just a redshirt freshman in terms of eligibility

And it feels like dajuan should be surrounded by talent the next few years. He shouldn't ever be put in a situation where he has to carry our team individually. Dajuan will be more of a traditional role playing true point guard. And he has a chance to be really good at it

Dajuan is not the first (or last) player that was quite frustrating early in his career, but turned into a fan favorite

Tyshawn Taylor would be a good example of this

Some shit is just too funny.

Michael Porter Jr. committing to mizzou was one of their bigger moments in program history. That guy looked like he would be the best player in the country and the NBA Draft. He put up like 6 shots for them.

Dajuan Harris, looks like a middle schooler, he may have had one other D-1 offer, looking at a year of prep academy. Starts at PG on a national title team at KU.

Both from CoMo.

If you search Kansas Basketball in google, you'll get a fireworks animation in blue, crimson and yellow.

It was only a 1

The difference is, if he'd posted it, the motivation would've been to make it seem less special.

Yup. That's why I posted probably 50 videos and/or pictures over the last month. Because I just hate Kansas basketball so much.

So. Much. Dumb.

Pdub: maybe some of these guys need a timeout? They can't keep the basketball board free of the bullshit.

I forgot that Mitch's only bucket was a sweet hook in Manek's grill. Poor dude with the ridiculous hair got a concussion from Dave, another crack in the face and was the hapless defender in the poster shots photos for both Mitch and Dave's best shots in the title game.

It took Mitch some work to get to his spot and I was nervous he wouldn’t get there but once he did, I knew it was going in.

And if Bacot had been called for a couple likely fouls earlier, Manek woulda been embarrassed even more.

I am not sure why there hasn't been a tribute video or the full game video released yet. There was one fairly quickly in 2008, iirc.

Watching Martin jitterbug sideways into those threes will never get old.

For me, it's the moment Dave gets the offensive rebound and says, fuck it, i'm doing this again, and the footwork that goes into all three of those shots.

Big man footwork.
