GIles Top Perfomer of the week
drafexpress.com listed the afore mentioned CJ Giles as one of its Top Performers of the week for his defensive abuse of Leon Powe:
"The difference in Saturday's game was Giles' defense. Powe had been bulling his way to a 25 ppg average against undersized opponents, but really struggled to score over the long arms of Giles. Giles displayed enough strength to keep from being completely bulled over by Powe, and altered many of his shots as his bouncy legs allowed a quick recovery from the burly big man's physical assaults. When looking solely at Giles' physical attributes - size, explosiveness, strength, and a frame clearly capable of adding more bulk - he has to rank as one of the more promising frontcourt prospects in the nation".
My favorite quote: "Bill Self has an absurd amount of young talent on his roster, and CJ Giles has as much upside as any of the Jayhawk youngster".
Beauty.

It is still early in the season. The Jayhawks have a month or so to get better chemistry and gel as a unit.
Talent - you can recognize
Team - you must cultivate
Oui, oui. I believe we will be there by the end of conference play. The Big 12 looks questionable this year so we might be able to finish well enough to get an NCAA bid, where I'd be excited to see what we can do.
Most of the current players rode the bench last year or were in high school and you can see them learning a little more about D1 competition and develop as a team each time down the floor. It's not always obvious and the results can be horrendous but I haven't seen them make the same mistakes too many times.
Bill Self will get it together.
