Reminded me of our resident dipshit's predictions... she'll be right one day!

Here's mine list:

Every year after the Spurs are eliminated I nervously wait to see if Coach Popovich is retiring. That roster is getting old & Popovich is 60+, I don't see him staying through a major rebuilding effort the team is going to have to undergo in a couple of years.

1) The stage in life Self's kids are at - Self's daughter was a HS senior in the fall of 2008 and his son will enter college the fall. (How mahy dads want their sons to go their alma mater, especially if it was where you met your wife?)
2) Bill Self may be a realist - this conference re-alignment is not done by a long-shot and at the end of the day do you really expect KU to still be in the BCS.

Another rumor is that Bill's wife, Cindy, can't stand Lawrence, however, their daughter will be a HS Senior this fall, so while he could move on she would probably want to graduate with the kids she being going thru high school with. I'm not anticipating to make any career moves now, but a year from now when his daughter is getting out of high school if the rumors about Cindy are true the I expect Coach Self to move on.

“This is a big day for Kansas basketball,” Self said. “We’ve had a lot of good things happen through recruiting this offseason, but nothing that has transpired this offseason was bigger for KU basketball than having a seasoned veteran like Kevin McCullar return to our program.”
“Kevin is not only a terrific player, but a terrific teammate,” Self said. “He fit in so well in year one and we’re excited about what he’ll do with our program from a leadership standpoint.”

His skillset is literally everything we don't have right now. This is the final piece.
edit: but also I had heard this guy was a nope the second Dickinson signed. He's no 4, he'd be a backup 5 [Reply]
I’d be surprised if we added anyone else at this point. We’re probably done, unless we grab a developmental piece to take a chance on at the bottom of the roster. [Reply]
