Great I still remember Grimes Vids being mostly 3 balls and then hearing the experts saying he needs to work on his outside shot. That didn't work out well so it's nice to hear these 2 are actually good outside shooters. [Reply]

BREAKING: Kansas has filled its biggest need and landed a big-time shooter in Isaiah Moss, source told @Stadium. Shot 42 percent from 3 this past season. If Jayhawks get Jalen Wilson over UNC, I’ll bump them up from No. 2 to No. 1 over Michigan State.
No way we should be 1. Duke got like fucking everybody knows that was at the top of recruiting lists - to my understanding. I don’t follow recruiting. [Reply]

I don’t expect Duke to be at KU’s level.
KU has the pieces to be the best team in the country. We’ll see how those pieces mix and develop.
Early reports bode well. I’m hearing that Silvio looks to be a monster, Udoka’s hitting jumpers, and Agbaji’s outside shooting is a lot more consistent. If these things hold true, we’re in for a fun year. [Reply]

Yeah. Somebody here (this fucking guy) should have looked at Dukes class. Yeah. They have some 5 star guys but I thought they had more.
I never was excited about last years team. Don’t know why for sure, but I think it was a mixture of losing players I loved - Svi, Graham, and Mahomes taking all of my focus.

I am legit excited for this team again.
Maybe it's hindsight, but having Vick as the team leader seemed to put a low ceiling on the season before it started. [Reply]
This recruiting class reminds me of the class we brought in back in 2009:
We had Tyshawn, the Morris Twins, Releford, Mario Little, and Tyron Appleton.
No 1 and Done talents in that group, but a solid group ready to be role players right away and develop into the foundation of the program for the next 3-5 (in the case of Releford) years. [Reply]

Yeah something about last year was just off from the beginning. [Reply]
