He can be a menace on defense. I’m a big Florida fan but I think he will do much much better at Kansas. He will be a big time player next year.

[@RyanMOutdoors]

Great info on Kugel.

[@davesafish]

Huge get! Great upside!! Let's go!!

[@JR-nc4nl]

As Gator fan I will tell you the athleticism will be awe inspiring, however, I held my breath every time the ball was in his hands. The instincts, decision making, and the inability to read defenses was really head scratching. The closer he gets to the rim, the weaker he gets. Maybe the change of scenery will be good for him and his confidence. Very high ceiling and a very low floor on a daily basis.

I like his potential.. doing some reading up on him and watching videos of him.. the big comp I see a lot of ppl saying is Desmond Bane and Dwayne wade, I think that’s too high, I see maybe a little like Ben McLemore, just not quite the shooter McLemore was and maybe has some better ball handling skills.. I like the addition I think he’ll be a great fit next to Harris.. thanks for the info on him!!

[@Noahbarkley-vq3ef]

I like!!

PLEASE stay out of trouble. Morris killed KU with his off court legal issues. Kugel has to come into the program impacting game one. RCJHGOKU

[@mrmonkeysays]

What does this mean for Mayo?

[@johnlee7085]

Very little.
The more valid question is the other way around. Zeke’s commitment likely has more impact on kugel than the other way around. Storr also.
Zeke gets the 2nd ballhandler better shooter role alongside Harris. AJ likely starter at 3 though everyone has to compete and earn their spot. Kugel has the potential to fill in well behind both, as long as he stays in the game mentally. Seems like maybe that was a problem last season.

I guess he doesn’t mind a coach who gives up mid season on his team

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

Actually he’s just partial to coaches who’ve won 2 National Championships.

[@brandonweatherly6764]

@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13you folks are so blinded by national titles.. he was actually being investigated during his last win for cheating but ncaa obviously didn’t mind. Selfs teams under perform usually. He’s been paying players since before NIL deals so let’s not think money has anything to do with it. Who wants to live in Kansas lol

[@jeffkilgore6320]

You’re so biased against Self. Kansas did nothing that all the bluebloods do. The NCAA plays favorites, and if you don’t know about that history, you’re too ignorant to be taken seriously. I’ll give you some help: read Danny Tarkanian’s Rebel With a Cause about the NCAA’s 30-year harassment of his father. Then you’ll understand what you obviously don’t now.
