Newman might come back if he thinks it can get him into the first round. Doke will be back. He isn't a 1st rounder because he needs to learn how to rebound better. Help me out here, isn't Agbaji a 3 star recruit type that usually goes to Div.1 colleges like Mo State? I know Self saw him in person, so if KU offers I'm good with trusting Self but this is unusual, right? Next years team looks like on paper, the deepest most talented team Self has had in a long time, agreed? |

Its really not.
Granted the best team doesn't always win, but it's certainly not a crapshoot. I think a lot of Kansas fans tell themselves that due to all of their early rd exits in the tournament, thus trying to justify the team's failures. It's been 10yrs since KU won their NC, and yes they advanced to a NC game 6 years ago in 2012, but that honeymoon period is long gone. |

If one means that the real difference between the elite teams isn't really that much in the age of the one and done, and, as the field condenses to be a majority of said teams, that any fortunate/ill fated bounce/shot/pass can leave you with a euphoric/cruel ending, then it absolutely is. Being "favored" in the regionals often won't mean much if the other team si on fire. If you can't hit the ocean. If fouls are called tighter, or a key injury kills your chemistry. But I have no doubt one of the really good teams will win it. They will probably be the regular season champion of their conference (as 7 of the past 10 champions were (Duke one year and the ultimate outlier UConn, twice). But which one of those? There is no certainty. |

In 2014, we had Wiggins and Selden pegged as the immediate impact guys and Embiid/Frankamp/Greene/Mason were the long term guys. Embiid became an immediate impact and left, but Selden stayed so it evened out. 2015 was similar. Oubre and Alexander were the immediate contributors. Graham was more of the long term player. Doing this allows Self to get better immediately and keep the cupboard loaded for the next few years. It’s a pretty smart play with a history of success for him. That’s my thought on today’s signing. Yes, next year appears to be the most talented team on paper since 2010. That team was loaded: Starters: Sherron Collins Tyshawn Taylor Xavier Henry Marcus Morris Cole Aldrich Bench: Brady Morningstar Elijah Johnson CJ Henry Tyrel Reed Markieff Morris Thomas Robinson Jeff Withey Forced Non Freshmen Redshirts: Mario Little Travis Releford |

The last 100 UNC-dook games it's 50-50
Dook has scored 2 points more in that time. I wish we had a basketball rival |

I don't know much about these NBA mocks and which ones are reliable, but NBADraft.net has Vick as a late 2nd round pick as of a week ago.
