Next season's potential
« on: March 24, 2011, 11:17:32 AM »
Thoughts on next season?  We are obviously losing two great players in Jake and Curt.  However, I think next season's team has the potential to slowly get better as the season goes on.  Just going to throw some thoughts out there.  I really think Rodney did not show his complete game.  I think he played to a role.  He passed up a ton of shots this season and when he decided that he wanted to drive off the dribble and pull up or go to the rim, he had some success.  I think Rod can be a 14 to 15 points a game guy next season.  Almost got the feeling that throughout the season he knew it was Jake's show.  Jamar obviously did not get to play a true post up spot with the new offense.  As I was watching the Wisconsin game, when Jamar posted up he backed his way to the basket and scored the ball well when he got that opportunity.  Granted he is a foul machine, but really played out of position for him.  Will "Wonder Bread" Spradling's off season will be huge.  He will need to lift his game from this year's 6.3 to 8 or 9 points a game.  Needs to develop the ability to create off the dribble and in transition.  JO's development continued to amaze me as the season progressed.  As far as the rest of the supporting cast goes, there are nice compliments to what we have.  We will be pleasantly surprised with Angel.  The guy has the "it" factor and from what I have been told from someone (take it for what's it's worth) Angel will have a bigger impact than will did this season.  The two wildcards for next season will be Devo and Omari.  I have seen Omari scrimmage this year in person (granted it was at Cloud) but the guy has a ton of potential and is long and athletic.  Might start out slow next season but can see us as a 22-10 team that comes on strong and grows as season progresses.  Just some thoughts. :kstatriot:

I'm just worried about your f/c type players.  I'm fairly comfortable with our guards.

I will consider it a monumental success if we make the tournament. Meh if we go NIT. Failure if no NIT.

From this point out I will be at very least somewhat disappointed if we don't make the tourney.

I realize that this is pretty unreasonable, but that is how I roll on this issue.

Another thought:  Pitino wanted Angel.  Pitino's pg this year was Peyton Siva (would take).  Angel would have been the pg for Louisville.  I take a little stock in that.
Purdue wanted Diaz.  Diaz is 6-10 6-11ish and can play outside as well as inside.  I am not going to call him the next JuJuan Johnson but I am guessing Painter was looking for someone who could fit the same mold.

if you don't expect every player to be better than you expect, you might want to find a mirror.  the point is, you'll see a squawk in that mirror, because you're a goddamn squawk.

Let's not forget that Angel hasn't signed crap yet.  He could still go to Louisville or NC State.

Interesting topic! Have we thought about the impact newcomers might have? Thanks, I'll listen off the air.

"Everything is good with Angel," his AAU coach and friend Art Alvarez said. "He is still solid with his choice to come play for K-State. He's looking forward to it and the chance to play for Frank. He'll be signing in April with them."

Will Nino make an impact? I here he's Dom Sutton meets Rodney McGruder. Thoughts?

What about Potz?  Look for this kid to have a big bounce.  I see him as a young Cole Aldrich.

Thoughts?

Let's talk expectations. Will 9-9 get it done for you? I think we should all be happy if we're on the NCAA bubble.

KU--1-1 (losing 4 starters assuming Twins make the jump. I'm also banking on Selby leaving because he's smart enough to understand what Self did to him. Robinson is a stud though.)
MU--2-0 (new coach + Phill Pressy will likely be gone)
ISU--1-1 (Wouldn't be surprised if they sweep, but also wouldn't be surprised if we sweep. )
TX--1-1 (can't keep beating them ALL the time can we?)
Tech--2-0 (Billy Clyde will need a little time to get things organized assuming he'll be sober)
aTm--1-1 (shazbot! these lucky ass losers. I hate aTm almost as much as MU and KU. )
BU--2-0 (Losing Dunn might actually be a blessing in disguise and they could be better.)
OSU-- 1-1 (could very will be a top 4 team in the Big Twen)
OU 2-0 (new coach, bad team)

We got this fellas. NCAA's here we come! 13-5 Big Twen.

Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever
