and if their Big Guy does not turn pro and enter the draft they could be the Pre-season #1 choice again>
how many years is that guy going to play college ball?Still have the Dickheadson to drag down the potential.
I’m thinking he got a really good NIL last year to go to Kansas. He probably thinks it’s better than any pro deal he’ll receive.how many years is that guy going to play college ball?
Last COVID year coming up, can end soon enough.how many years is that guy going to play college ball?
Him and edey were same class. Glad it all worked out where we got big Z.how many years is that guy going to play college ball?
And he doesn’t want to ever play any type of defense.Dickinson is too mechanical and slow to play in the NBA…
I don't think he's an awful post defender but he's not a great rim protector and he doesn't seem to put a lot of pride in that part of his game.And he doesn’t want to ever play any type of defense.
But I don’t blame him one bit for coming back. Stay in college another year, play at KU, compete for a national championship and get paid at least a million bucks. Sounds pretty good to me.I don't think he's an awful post defender but he's not a great rim protector and he doesn't seem to put a lot of pride in that part of his game.
Completely agree. Even in an less than stellar season, playing basketball at KU and making really good money to do so is a solid proposition. He may end up having a solid pro career overseas but I don't think it's realistic for him to find a better environment or more money anywhere outside of Lawrence.But I don’t blame him one bit for coming back. Stay in college another year, play at KU, compete for a national championship and get paid at least a million bucks. Sounds pretty good to me.
He’s making more than a million with appearances and signings along with NIl. I don’t blame him and RJ Davis, however, like was said, the extra Covid year should have been 1 season, glad it’s ending.But I don’t blame him one bit for coming back.

Since non Purdue fans said this about Zach, Can I use the saying “if he were good he would have turned pro already” for RJ Davis? 😂He’s making more than a million with appearances and signings along with NIl.

There's no expectation of consistency on message boards! Fans of one team will denigrate a rival in every conceivable way, whether it has any basis in reality or notSince non Purdue fans said this about Zach, Can I use the saying “if he were good he would have turned pro already” for RJ Davis? 😂
Disclaimer: I think RJ is pretty good
Kansas is always adding as long as the money is there. It’s always been that way. NIL just gives it the appearance of being “the right way”. As opposed to Paint “IS” the right way.
completely agree .The only caveat I’d add to that is that if you have a strong returning core and a good culture you want to do everything you can not to add a team killer. That includes vetting the player, but it also includes not promising anything to those portal recruits in terms of playing time other than a chance to compete.Kansas asside, if you have spots open, why wouldn't ANY team, including Purdue add guys? That's why I find this thread funny.....of course Kansas is adding .... Who wouldn't be?

What??? You don’t want to add aj storr and be his 18th new team?completely agree .The only caveat I’d add to that is that if you have a strong returning core and a good culture you want to do everything you can not to add a team killer.

He is better than advertised - 95.0 defensive efficiency rating per 100 possessions. Averages 1.7 steals per 100 possessions which drives his number a bit, but is still pretty good for a big man.And he doesn’t want to ever play any type of defense.
Is that also a lot due to the rebounds he grabs?He is better than advertised - 95.0 defensive efficiency rating per 100 possessions. Averages 1.7 steals per 100 possessions which drives his number a bit, but is still pretty good for a big man.
Exactly - those and his blocks drive his efficiency numbers. He has great hands for a big guy, so the steals also help him. We can nitpick and say that he's not as adept at blocking as you would expect for his size, but he's still better than his average replacement and a rebounding machine with decent hands on the move, at least within ten feet of the hoop.Is that also a lot due to the rebounds he grabs?
Makes sense. I would more so he just doesn’t guard or has no interest….just gets rebounds cuz… “he’s just tall!”Exactly - those and his blocks drive his efficiency numbers.

He struggles a lot to guard in space and against the pick-and-roll, which will limit him at the next level. His best shot in the upcoming year is to demonstrate that the shooting accuracy he had during his third year at Michigan is still there.
