Few On Next Years Team According to Dickie V

[zagsfanforlife]

I found this as pretty significant during the game Dickie V quotes Mark Few as saying next years team is going to be "Really really good".. and his partner followed up with "maybe preseason #1"... maybe i am reading too much in to it, but dont think Few would be saying that if he didnt have knowledge that some guys would be back and that Suggs was actually coming.

[gonzagafan62]

Might just be me, top 5 might be possible. But preseason #1 I doubt. Media biased for the dookies and Carolinas and Kansas Of the world

[Martin Centre Mad Man]

Suggs, Harris, Strawther, and Ballo...that is an amazing crop of freshmen.

They will augment Kispert, Watson, Timme, and Ayayi. That should be a top-ten team. If Petrusev returns, a No. 1 ranking might not be out of the question.

But but but Coach Cal has a bunch of new freshman to do nothing with

[jazzdelmar]

Does not sound like something Mark would say

[hooter73]

A healthy Watson changes the entire game

I need a few months' respite from Koach and Duke fans.

Do you think Dickie V just made it up out of thin air?

Definitely a incredible group of freshmen and add Anton Watson and we have our own Fab five. Did he get his medical redshirt?

Not knowingly. Haha

+100

Imagine how we'd look with him suited up this year.

[webspinnre]

I mean, if no one goes pro, I think a number 1 overall ranking would be a pretty reasonable thing, considering how good this team is, and the class we've got coming in, plus Watson coming back.

[drvenkman05]

Come on, everyone, we all know that, next year, KU will be the greatest team of all time. After all, they invented basketball out of thin air. They have the tradition, the championships, the greatest coach of all time (Bill “Motorcycle on the Red Carpet” Self), and the most intimidating place to play, the Phog Allen “Wave the Paper Bags” Fieldhouse.

[JPtheBeasta]

This Zag team was ranked #8 in the preseason, and they were being held together by strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. #1 preseason 2020 isn't totally out of the question.

I was thinking that when I saw him in his shoulder immobilizer high-fiving his teammates after the game. He would likely take the defense to the next level that they need.

You mean we’d have some transitional defense?

All too often for the Zags, the transition is from scoring on the offensive end to taking it out of the bottom of their net on the other end...

[kdaleb]

We have lots of post players and lots of wings, but we really need a point guard next year. With Suggs, the team goes to the next level.

We will be young as heck. Very, very talented, but young. If Ayayi stays that helps, and if Petro gets better that helps a lot, but all our top talent is young and inexperienced on the high major D1 level. Our best point guards have all matured playing a lot of D1 ball. Experience with iq is what it takes

[OZZY]

I am of the opinion that young mr. Ballo would also be showing a lot of potential in practice.........

grad transfer next yr to add some experience at PG? a la this year.

Any grad transfer we add will back up Suggs, so I am not sure we will pull in Gilder/Woolridge type grad transfer next year at the PG. That said we will actively be looking for transfers, as we always do.

And the staff has already started having conversations with players about their future, so Mark does know or at least has a very good idea, as things do change.

Or you could start him at the two. No? MF loves two bh guards at the same time.

True, but with Ayayi and Harris that's a pretty loaded position as well.

Ayayi would be an excellent starting SG, and Dominick Harris as a big minute combo guard is about as good as it gets off the bench.

If anything, I could see a sharp shooter like Jordan Mathews wanting to join a winner and provide points off the bench in spot minutes.
