I guess you'd have to put Cole Aldrich at #3, huh. :-)

Guys like Hansbrough and Trae Young came to mind when clicking on that link, wondering if the hype would override the reality.

It's also an impossible list, between different eras and trying to determine individual talent and throwing in team accomplishments... if you put Dwayne Wade in a Kansas jersey or Frank Mason in a Texas jersey, etc.

I remember when people tried to say Devonte wasn't a PG. They tried to say Garrett wasn't a PG. He's absolutely a PG. They both are some of the better passers KU has seen since Aaron Miles.

Garrett is an awesome passer. But he isn’t great going to the rim and if you force him to go left he avoids finishing with his left hand instead trying a right handed floater.

He isn’t particularly great at single handly beating a press.

I would think he would have a better future spending all his time practicing 3s and playing the 2 spot.

Hope he proves me wrong. He’s still one of my favorite KU players.

Garrett can't shoot. That's my issue with him. He's forged himself into an elite defender and good passer, but defenses are going to sag on us like when we had Tyshawn Taylor at the point.

The entire list is a joke but especially Zion. The only one-and-done players that should be on there for me are guys who basically carried their teams to titles in their one year (Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony come to mind).

Mario Chalmers not being on the list is laughable and really Cole Aldrich as well (both were better players than Frank Mason under Self for a longer period of time and won NCAA titles; Mason took a major step up in his final season though).

I had the same thought on Chalmers v Frank.

I loved Frank he had so much heart, but Chalmers had the more epic career.

This kid feels nothing like the prototypical Self recruit.

An almost 7' kid who can shoot from the perimeter.

I'm kinda excited.

He needs to get in the weight room, though.

My orthodontist told me this morning that they said they lowered ticket prices. But they didn't lower the good seats. They just added some tiers to the lower-priced seats. Talking season tix. Anyone else know anything about that?

Saw that. They've got $500 season tickets up in the corners if I'm remembering correctly. Considered it. Might still do it.

Yes. We will be on probation and also because of the Rona. Probably a smart play by KU.

Does anyone really think much will come of that? If anything it seems like KU and Self would quietly part ways.

Watching that thing on ESPN+ with Jeff Long seems like hes a badass who gets things done and is widely respected throughout the NCAA I'm sure he could get something worked out.

Idk after watching Long get worked by David Beaty I can’t say I’m feeling too confident.
