@NormRoberts I would think McNeil wants to start. He's good and in a vacuum he is appealing but I wonder what he would cost and TK would have to come off the bench.

The Mordini kid is a practice player yes

I worry what this team looks like with Kinney starting. I don’t love the tape myself.

@Kcmatt7 I think there is a very real chance if they get someone decent that Kinney ends up the primary back-up at the 1 and 2.

I think Mordini is going to take Stokes' starting spot

Mordini is essentially a practice player. Self's own words pretty much confirm that one. Any minutes he gets this season will be extreme foul trouble or at the end of blow outs.

Bark bark. For real though, Council would be a really nice guard for this team and provide some needed leadership in the locker room

So reading in between the lines here … sounds like we really have just two, maybe three legit starters so far?

Stokes, Dawes, Blyden?

No bueno

@rockchalkjayhawk well, it's not like we're UCONN , Michigan or Duke. We're just Kansas.

But Kansas has the Top 3 class now! #RockChalk

Looks like McNeil is staying at NC State.

TS is certainly saying all the right things about Self and the KU program. I think he sounds relieved that the waiting is over even though he made it himself.

Now Bill's patented 7-man rotation looks pretty clear. Kinney, Blyden Jr, Stokes, Dawes, Reeves, Rosario, and Mbiya. This team will not be good at shooting. They will be crazy fast and should be good on the glass.

Hope, wing, and a prayer if that is our rotation. Exactly 1 guy who has produced at the high major level. Two freshmen and two returnees with minimal minutes (especially Mbiya). Is Kinney really capable of running things for 30+ mpg??? Are we confident Reeves and Blyden can produce against P5 talent every game???

This line-up only works if those things happen and if Rosario follows a Braun trajectory and Mbiya really progresses. Even then we still need quality depth at the 4 and point. Any Euro talent lurking out there? Not much left in the portal...
