Apparently, Kugel shot really poorly in the non con then shot 40% from 3 during SEC play.

That’s kinda what Jalen Wilson did in 2022.

Kugel is likely more of a 36-40% 3 point shooter.

And? He might have been closer to bottom 25.

So you think that 99% of the players in the portal suck?
[Reply]

I have better faith in portal rankings than HS basketball recruit rankings. At least the barometer for those are based off collegiate level competition and production.
[Reply]

UCONN, Houston, and Arizona all wanted Kugel too.

That means more than any ranking.
[Reply]

And Timberlake chose KU out of UConn and UNC last year...sooooo
[Reply]

So there’s no perfect method to evaluate players, but I’ll trust the best coaches in the game (with actual skin in the game) over any ranking to get it right more often.
[Reply]

Two years of evidence in the college game that he sucks...and everyone is like ya but he might not suck. Hes a backup plan if we strike out with McNeeley or another good wing.
[Reply]

He’s just a piece. He isn’t a solution.

McNeeley is absolutely plan A. McNeeley and Furphy with Kugel off the bench is my ideal.

Then grab Mayo to back up Harris and our guard/wing situation is substantially better. That assumes we get nothing out of the freshmen too.
[Reply]

I sure hope Mayo is not the backup PG with his close to 1:1 assist to turnover ratio. He has the same assist to turnover ratio as baby Marko had this year.
[Reply]

KJ announces he is coming back.

Bill Self is partying at the Salty Iguana tonight to celebrate.
[Reply]

Well he shoots like 40% from 3 and like 90% free throw so I'd take his turnovers easily
[Reply]

I think Furphy/McNeeley is an either/or situation. I've heard that McNeeley's waiting to see what Furphy does.

Not sure which I'd rather have, tbh. I think McNeeley's the better shooter and has more potential, but I have no idea which player would be more productive next year.
[Reply]

Yeah no idea how likely it is, but that’s my ideal.

I think the two together would maximize each other’s games.

The spacing they’d create would be incredible.
[Reply]

Who thought he wouldn't be back?
