I think that was Jake's point. He wondered about Solomon since those other guys are supposed to be that good. CW was the one who said he wasn't so sure about Jacobsen. Especially taking minutes from Solomon.

You forgetting Lawson brothers a d Charlie Moore? I agree those guys you listed haven' proven anything yet. Doubt Preston returns.
I think they talked about him. Even CSP has said Jacobson could be a starter next year. Sounds like everyone is not sold on that but you have to worry about his development at times. Maybe he can make an Ejim like jump before next season.
I doubt it. Granted he hasn't been as deep in the past but he seems to like playing 7 maybe 8 guys at the most a game. The 8th play maybe different each game depending on the situation.
Babb is really just getting going IMO. I see him taking another big step forward like he did this past off season.
We won't have the ball handling to put Nick on the bench and he has been great anyway.
Lard has been the defensive presence we needed from Solomon early this year and last year. With Jacobson coming in it will be a battle between him and Solo for who gets more minutes in the post alongside Lard.
Of the four coming in, THT seems like he will for sure get minutes but I'm not sure how much the other three challenge for some.

Not to mention Azubuike returns, a more experienced Sousa, plus the one Lawson is a stud! Vick and Garrett are very talented, plus Newman, Moore, plus three more 5-stars......yeah, they'll be loaded.....AGAIN. No matter how much I want to drink the koolaid that Shayok, Jacobsen, our 4 starting returners, & incoming freshmen are extremely talented and capable to win the conference, it still all goes thru Kansas. Grrr
I am only speaking in terms of raw talent as well. So many things have to play out in our favor.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Azubuike test the waters and make a bad decision. He is what he is at this point.
I'll bet $100 to anyone's $20 that we won't win the Big 12 next year.
I said it...was correct. We don't shoot the '3' that well. Next year will be better unless Donovan starts hitting consistently this year.
I was WRONG about LW's 3 point shooting. Hope that continues.
A few points:
1. No one is crowning next years team Big 12 champs. To say that roster isnt capable of competing for one however is misguided.
2. Solomon Young will see MAJOR minutes next year. To say otherwise is just crazy.
3. I'll put our top three next year up there with anyone else in the Big 12 (Shayok, Wigginton, Lard). None of those McD AA for KU will have a game as polished as a 22 year old Shayok. I think the real question is how good can our next 3-4 be (Babb, Young, THT, Jacobsen, etc...).
4. To have a legit shot to take the crown from KU I think we are a high major impact transfer away.
This team is shooting 35% on 3PA. That would be the worst mark since 2008-09.
Someone is gonna transfer and they will add Harris to the class. So they will have 2 PG's coming in
Put me in the camp of being willing to be money that NWB starts next year, barring some transfer or NBA weirdness.
Lol at Babb not starting, keep the jokes coming guys.
NWB will be a 5th year senior and will have been in the program longer than anyone heading into next year. Unless THT arrives on campus capable of averaging 20 ppg from day 1 NWB deserves, has earned, and will start.
