We just have to get all the opponents big men to foul out also causing us to go to FT line more.

Is the walk-on going to start at center?
Honestly, I liked his game.
Drawing a blank on his name but he's a legit 6'9.
Grant?

yes, Grant Clayton. He's listed as 6'7, but only 6'8 Moodie is taller. I wouldn't be surprised if he got some minutes.

Quite a few years left of eligibility. Does not seem to matter much these days... But have potential to be here for several years versus a grad student.

Originally, looks like KU and Okie St. were power teams that may have had an interest. This kid was probably more of a mid major talent. Given HS coach was KU alum... Some help in getting him to KU.

It doesn't look like he ever touched the court, even in garbage time, from what I can find. I honestly can't believe this many guards signed up for one team. It's going to be a dogfight for 1 positon. Now if we can fill out the other 4 spots on the court, we'll be set.

Was committed to a mid major prior to Kansas.

We can play two plus two and rotate the middle with what we have on the roster now. Of course we are still recruiting hard but I'm not concerned .I think it's shaping up to be a fun team to watch.

Agreed. Uptempo game constantly pushing. The ball up court.

Could be a really exciting style of play. If we shoot the 3 pointer well, we could run some teams out of the gym

You have to change your style of play to be an exciting style of play. It will be interesting to see if Kerns and Co. do just that with an up tempo offense.

This is what I have so far. If we can get one big that warrants 10-15 minutes a game, think we will be in good shape. We have good rebounders in Moodie, Neal, Chaney and Litch.

Returning:
PG Vasser 6'0 30% from three
SG Banks 6'3
PF Njock 6'6
SF/PF Neal 6'7
C Moodie 6'8

New:
PG Allen 6'5
PG Kopetski 6'0 38% from three
SG Koffi 6'4 37% from three
SG Costello 6'4 32.5% from three
SG/SF 6'5 Chaney 37% from three
SF/PF Litch 6'6 30% from three

PG Moss 6'0 (redshirt?)

With all the guards, I could see us running a pretty sick full court press.

Let's go all in on the Paul Westhead "Run and Gun" offense. That'd be a complete 180 form our current style.
