I could get behind the feeling that Melvin does not raise our ceiling, but to say he lowers it is categorically false. Many many great teams, including some that have won national championships, have started guards who are not good 3-pt shooters.
He is inefficient on offense as a whole. I could live with the 3pt shooting, it’s the 4/17 games with 12 missed floaters.
IMO he has to take a major step forward in shot selection (or shot making).
They need a big man more than a PG if you have to choose.
If they find a way to get both bending whatever rules, than Melvin starts and plays a ton and it is what it is. Lowers our ceiling imo, but he would be the heart of the team.
I still think Rosario starts over Kinney. But minutes will definitely have to be earned either way
Went to the game. Wasn’t expecting a win.
But LL should not finish the season unless something major changes next couple of weeks.
I appreciate what he did but he isn’t a P5 coach. Playcalling was a mess. Decision making was even worse.
Disappointed but not mad.
McComb 13/13 3TDs 234 yards against Holy Cross.
Only KU would have both QBs get hurt in one play
Been burned on the blitz about every time tonight
Shockingly entertaining game for there to be no scores coming from the offense yet 1.5 quarters in

I’d say Isaiah get one more drive then you have to pull him those 5 yards just cost us 3 points
I think you gotta just let him get all the reps this year. Let him learn, if he’s going to be the QB for two more years after this
Based on what do you think he is a multiple year P4 quarterback? Yes, work through some mistakes, but he has to show something??? Thus far, Simmons
looks a lot better and he's just 19...
You haven’t seen enough to write him off. So I think you have to assume he’s the future and you let him get experience in the big moments until proven otherwise. Not like Ballard has proven anything either.

We’re so lucky Mizzou is doing just as stupid if stuff
I was criticizing the decision to punt but that uhhh well that was a great punt.
Gonna need a few breaks to win anyways. That’ll be in the C’s head all game. Signed a former C
I thought they kept playcalling purposely bland to keep things hidden for next week.
I still hate the quick no huddle near the goal line when you don’t do that anywhere else on the field. Got a false start on that, and we’ll do the same thing 5+ times this year guaranteed.
Marshall was the right guy to start, but there were balls thrown that are turnovers against real opponents. He will have to be better next week.
Edward’s looks good in this offense and will break a few this year.
Defense was stout, but not saying much considering the opponent.
I expect us to do much of what we did last year against Mizzou. Play close enough all game, but just get warm down by the end. Need the offense to either score almost every drive or have a lot of sustained drives that eat up clock.
Looked like a 5+ win team to me though.

Wahoo 6-0 silly to go for two but okay
They did it to waste Mizzou time to have to prepare for it. Nothing more than that.
Finished top 30 so he move on in the playoffs as well.
Gary is age 42, but is still one of the top 10 longest on the tour. He could play for quite a long time still providing his health continues to be okay.

My guess is the last roster spot will go to a veteran, undersized, break glass in case of emergency point guard in the vein of Diggy and Ngala
I’m hoping that Bill is targeting an NBA Draft guy and has a contingency donor ready to pony up for the right guy.
