That’s Moody. He’s talking about Hawkins other shoulder.

They should both hire Ogbaji's shooting coach.

If they can improve their outside jump shots (both need to improve their release to be quicker and more compact) and work on their consistency, they could come back and have the same kind of year that Och did.

And with Rice, Dick, Udeh, and Eijofor coming in, this team could make another run at the title.

I also think that’s Nick Bradford with his hands on Pierce

Is it too early to be thinking about 2022-23??? :-)

4. Kansas Jayhawks

After seeing its national championship dreams get canceled by COVID-19 in 2020, Kansas was able to get to Monday night for the first time in 10 years -- the last time the Final Four was in New Orleans -- and finish the job with its fourth national championship. Next year the Final Four is in Houston, but the Jayhawks could get there again. Ochai Agbaji, David McCormack, Christian Braun, Mitch Lightfoot and Remy Martin are all likely to be gone, but there will be some continuity with Dajuan Harris Jr. and Jalen Wilson expected back. Bill Self is also bringing in a stellar recruiting class, highlighted by elite scorer Gradey Dick and powerful offensive player MJ Rice. A third top-25 recruit, Ernest Udeh, will help replace the frontcourt talent -- but returnees K.J. Adams and Zach Clemence will help, too.

Projected starting lineup:
Dajuan Harris Jr. (5.4 PPG)
Gradey Dick (No. 8 in ESPN 100)
MJ Rice (No. 19 in ESPN 100)
Jalen Wilson (11.0 PPG)
Ernest Udeh (No. 23 in ESPN 100)

That's Nash over Hawkins shoulder

Thanks!

I can't imagine Self starting 3 freshman.

I started a GOFUNDME to raise funds to cover KCC’s March madness losses.

Especially if Braun returns, in which he should!

It is kind of funny if you think about predictions early on and how this ended up working out. If I had told you that Braun would be basically the same player as last year, Harris will never develop a jump shot and will still be openly passing up layups in the last game of the year, Remy would be so injured and ineffective that, with a big 12 title on the line in the last game of the regular season that goes to OT he will play less than 10 minutes, the freshman would contribute basically nothing in the tournament and only randomly through the regular season, JCL is only a deep bench role player, and Mac is still as inconsistent as ever, I don’t think anyone would have been predicting a national title much less a 1 seed. A nice surprise but I don’t think anyone saw this playing out quite like it did.

Clemens might start ahead of Udeh...unless he projects to be a one-and-done guy (I'm not a 247/Rivals member, so I don't know the scoop)

Agreed!
[Reply]

Udeh is super raw. I’ll be shocked if he starts.

Rice or Dick probably will. I’m leaning Rice.

Self trusts Adams on defense, so he might start at the 4. Clemence would then start at he 5.

Braun probably declares. I think Wilson comes back. I hope McCormack comes back, but we’ll see.

It’s not pretty, but I think the initial starting 5 is:

Harris
Rice
Wilson
Adams
Clemence

I thought that was Jeff Graves with his hands on Paul, but not 100% sure.
