Tristan Enaruna Commits
- Thread starter CyPunch
- Start date
Well this roster sure feels a lot better than it was 2 months ago.
To be clear, Hunter is also a prohm guy. As is Foster.
Not only is the just the simple net talent better, the pieces sure seem to fit way better in terms of roles, starting with having a highly ranked, albeit FR true PG. It is really hard to win without good PG play.
Obviously there's a lot of turnover, a new staff, and a young roster, but this will be more the norm across the sport. A lot of teams are faced with tons of turnover, so it's not as a big a disadvantage as it used to be.
I still think the tourney is very much a long shot, but what started out with several big "Ifs" that pretty much all had to happen to have a chance, now it's starting to trim those down with every new commitment TJ gets.
TJ is just hitting it out of the MFing park so far.

Foster wouldn’t be here for Year 2 if Steve was still here. But he did get him signed.
The transfer portal is the best. Give these kids an opportunity to put themselves in a better situation
Yeah, I’m guessing you are right. And good on TJ for keeping them around but prohm did manage to get them here.
Is it too much to ask now to land Eli King and a 6'9" Marcus Fizer esque power forward (Id be ecstatic for Fletcher as well clearly). Looking ahead a couple of years down the road the ability to play both big and small would be ridiculous.
Small Ball:
G - 6'1" Hunter
G - 6'2" Lipsey
G - 6'3" King
F - 6'9" Enaruna
F - 7' Foster
Big:
G - 6'1" Hunter/6'2" Lipsey
G - 6'3" King
F - 6'9" Enaruna
F - 6'9" Power Forward/Fletcher
F - 7' Foster
All of the above being top 75ish level talents as well just ridiculous! TJ doing work!

Is this the tallest team we've ever had? Hopefully we can rebound now.
I wouldn’t even be in this thread if I hadn’t been called out. Talk to roch.
Not pumping anyone up...but a couple of those guys are likely starters for 3 or 4 more years.
Haven't read posts just throwing this out here. Cousin is a KU grad. Said Self, for reasons unknown, kept this guy on a short leash. Didn't let him play through ANY mistakes. Despite that, showed flashes of brilliance. Thinks he can be special for us if Otz just lets him play.
At the very least, we should be a lot better defensively.

Thought Police
If kept in his correct position (small forward), with less ball handling responsibilities, I think he makes for a nice piece at 15-20 minutes a game. He's definitely not a point forward.
I think of small ball as (1) player at 6-2 ish and the other 4 players 6-5 to 6-8 with no true center. I don't see how you play 3 guys 6-3 and under in the big 12.
