I again predict ku will beat us 3 times
we smashed wu pretty good, but it was kind of close at halftime. i caught some of franks postgame in my 2003 s40 and he said we aren't even running set offensive plays, and well, he just seems pretty confident. we could be really really good, and this #3 thing may not be the joke we think it is. but who knows?
I was most pleased to see us play suffocating defense for long stretches vs Wash.

Not necessarily worried, it is just going to be the deciding factor on whether we get to see Mcgruder and Judge show off their skills on the offensive end or if Frank will have to go with less offensively skilled guys who can play D. Which he will, so I guess I shouldn't be worried about the D, just about the D of the guys who I think are some of our best offensive threats.

The concern is how well do the new guys and returners who didn't play much adapt to playing Martin's style of defense. We know some of the returners can defend, but the quality of our depth will be determined by the new comers being able to come in and do that as well.
the past few years have taught me that there is a learning curve for anyone new to the Huggins/Martin mentality on defense, not just focused on freshman and younger players. you've got to have quick feet on d to avoid fouling out within minutes of hitting the floor. this is how Tay earns his minutes and OJ will.i think freddy and sprads will have the most problems.
