@kjayhawks2.0 It's puzzling why Bill came back.

@JoJoAndMe there are at least 10 million reasons I can think of.

Coach loves the game!

The Big 12 as a whole (sans Tech obviously) is way down on talent compared to the top 2 leagues. It’s their world, we’re just playing in it.

@kjayhawks2.0 they have to get Stokes. Blyden is also a pro. TK is a pro but young. Dawes probably a foreign league guy. Unlikely to win a title but can be pretty good. Really hinges on Stokes

@approxinfinity How about $10 million / year reasons

I’m gonna highly doubt Self came back for the money. My inside sources say he more fun last season than he has in a long time so he decided to ride again. Making what he has made at both a head coach at Illinois and Kansas he likely has an account somewhere where with $50 million just sitting.

I think TK and Kohl are both pros they just ain’t pros at this time next season. Blyden I’m still the air about right now with him not playing against great teams. I think he is athletic enough to but you’ll have to get back with me in about 10 months. Without Stokes this is a bubble team IMO, with Stokes I could convince myself a top 5 finish in the conference and maybe a S16 given the right road.

@kjayhawks2.0 You have to admit, there was a time, not too long ago, when we thought at this time every year that we had a FF team.

Pretty much the entire Self era excluding the last 3 years

Isn't this under football?

@kjayhawks2.0 I'm not a Kohl believer at all. Don't think he can shoot and he has no ball skills. It's all just fast break or spot up.

I am at this point he really reminds me of Braun early in his career. Yes he has a lot to work on but I think he’ll be really good in a few years
