So what’s the defense like this upcoming season? O/U 10th best nationally?

Dotson and then a bunch of huge athletic dudes:
Moss 6'5"
Garrett 6'5"
Och 6'5"
Braun 6'7"
Wilson 6'8"
Lightfoot 6'8"
De Sousa 6'9"
Enaruna 6'9"
McCormack 6'10"
Azubuike 7'0"

Dotson is going to get a lot of practice shooting over length

Looking at the post immediately below the one I'm quoting...anything outside the top-5 would be a disappointment.

I agree. We should be able to guard at all spots. With the length and the arc moving back hopefully it boosts our 3 point defense.

Should make for very amusing early-season games against low- and mid-majors, just from a viewing standpoint.

Was just thinking about this. Every player outside of Dotson is 6'5. That's some serious size across the board. Allows Bill to do a lot of switching on defense. And there will be times where the shortest player on the floor for Kansas is 6'5 and the tallest 6'8.

Dotson is not as small as a lot of people think, and he's a good defender. I think that when Silvio is playing the 5, you can switch everything.

I think McBride is only 6-2ish.

Right. Just hard to see him part of the rotation, though.

Sounds like that's going to be Garrett.

If we can keep our guys from getting injured, it should be our best defense since 2012.

OK, fine, we should be really good on defense.
Let's talk rebounds.

We'll be really good there too.
Shooting? Nah.

Getting Silvio back was huge for that area. Monster on the glass.

Getting Silvio was the biggest "recruiting" coup we could've asked for this year as far as immediate impact.
