With Allen, pass on Maye. He won't play much next year and we are in on guys who are better next year. Take guys that will play next year

Don't think it was the minutes that wore him down

He wasn't exactly wrong

Think he's a great role player. He's not a starter on a good team

He needs to improve. But his ceiling is higher than anyone else we have. Unless Nana comes in as a legit stud, no one else should beat him out as the 3

AFAIC...4 of the 5 starters are locked up. It's just a matter of who out of Taylor, Gill, Palmer, Allen and Nana emerges at the two. My guess would be Palmer as of now. Watson, Roby, Copeland and Jordy are either too good or have too high of ceilings not to start.

Never said it did. Just said that he's had more than enough time to build a better program than what we have currently. And I'll agree that if it is to happen...Allen fills a need that was going to be a big variable in the equation

Gill....typo

The one thing that gives me hope is that we don't need either one to replace Webster. We have enough options to somewhat absorb the loss. We simply need them to fill a roll. If we can get 7-8 a game from them individually as an outside threat, they change our landscape

Think Jack can still play the 3 or 4 so there will be minutes there. Evan and Gill will be in direct competition with him

Be positive....that's fine..but be realistic too. I'll be the first to admit...he's got some tools. There are some pieces here. He's done a good job bringing in guys. That can't be argued. But I think we've seen enough to stay balanced too. Supporting them and being irrational are not mutually exclusive. Rooting every game for a team does not mean you have to have a distorted view of what they actually are. I won't argue with anyone who says that we have the apparent pieces now to be a good team. Can't subscribe to the theory that it's a foregone conclusion though.

My bad.....we've been terrific!

He's had the time. Whether he does or not remains to be seen. Certainly doesn't have any more excuses. The players are there and if they aren't...it's on him.

Ironically, Gill, who, Allen is aware of, and a reason for coming here, may end up the casualty of Allen's presence. Simply have to have Allen or Akenten be a guy who is ready to go right away. Individually, again...we'll have some very nice components next year. Whether they fit together as a team and the right buttons get pushed will be the question.

Or like he did the last 3 years? its fair to have major doubts/concerns at this point. It's also fair to say that he did a great job today as well. Allen is a hell of a pickup. It doesn't erase the last few years though

Unless we know something about palmer and hill being ready for next year, I'd put maye 4th behind Hans, Ernst and dube

Wow

Hard seeing it this way. Struggle seeing Copeland, Nana or Palmer as being replacements as we already had those guys in the fold.

IMO, no. We needed Allen (or another quality guard) before the transfers. The transfers didn't open up this need. It opened up other. This simply fills a need we already had before the transfers

Still dont believe for one second he actually believes/expects to be a wing.

Then I think we have a real chance and the 24/7 predictions are all based on the assumption KU has room

The only question is if KU really wants him.

Considering Doby's resume....there aren't a lot of good teams offering playing time opportunities to him. He was a back-up at Winthrop and Ball State is the other main school recruiting him. I would most definitely take Ernst over him. If Doby still wants to come after...ok...if not...so be it.

Take both. Ernst looks like he can play and Doby is a senior.

Pry should take both regardless. Both can play the 1 or 2. Taylor and Gill are Seniors. Palmer and Watson are juniors. And we have the spots to allow for both
