    I am beyond thrilled about next year’s team, both in our returnees and our incoming freshmen class. Make no mistake though, there are going to be new guys running the offense and to expect anyone to be KW will be setting ourselves up for disappointment. I am excited to see how this group comes...

    He was a 4-star, top 100 6’4” SG coming out of high school that showed promise in limited action. I really hope he sticks.

    Going to be hard to run the ball against us but I suspect traveling may be called frequently if they do.

    I don’t think Drej’s impact this year would have been any greater had he started. You could argue that it could have diminished his impact. NBA scouts don’t care who starts. How many reserve players from blue blood programs get drafted? Guys want an opportunity for PT and impact. I’m just...

    There is nobody, I mean nobody, I would rather see us beat than Dbag Dan. To call him pompous would be the kindest of terms.

    You want to play physical? We will punch you in the mouth. You want to slow down? We will D you up. You want to run and gun? We will drop 100 on you. The versatility is outstanding!
