It's very interesting the route Bill Self has taken recently. Whereas Duke and UK are all in on one and dones, Self has shited a little bit and has been really running the transfer game recently. Malik Newman as a 5-star McDonald's AA that played at MIss State for a year, got to sit out and learn at Kansas for an entire year, and then as a redhirt sophomore is a well experienced player that knows the system.
Next year Dedric Lawson the kid that averaged 19ppg at Memphis will be eligible, and he's 6'9 230lbs, and his brother who is a 6'8 guard that averaged 12ppg at Memphis. They have a 5'11 guard Charlie Moore who averaged 12ppg at California as a freshman who will be eligible next year.
That's a lot of talent with college experience sitting out, getting stronger, just developing and focusing on basketball and learning the system. It's like adding one and talent (experienced talented players) without having to go through the learning curve. With the transfer additions along with Dok and De Sousa coming back a year developed to really firm up their interior with Lawson, and with Dotson, Grimes and McCormack coming in I'm really not sure how Kansas isn't the #1 team next year. if Newman comes back it should be unanimous.
