    Thank the good lord.  As a fan and student at KU, i was really not looking forward to losing T Rob, the Morrii, and Selby.  I never thought TT would leave, he’s a borlerline NBA player to begin with.  If Robinson had left with the Twins (assuming they go), we would be left with Jeff Withey and Justin Wesley, who’s a walkon……yea

    Was very nervous about the front court next year. Would love Selby to come back as well, I just want to believe in this kid. Tyshawn really impressed me from his suspension on, he took the man off the dribble almost at will. I know its a long shot but maybe the twins say lets get to the final four….I may be dreaming on that one though!

    Good for them, neither would’ve fallen below mid-second round but both have the potential to be first-rounders and accomplish far more than they have at Kansas.

    Great move for both players but very interesting to see how Robinson improves on his already decent draft stock.

    I always thought this was the right move for Robinson, I really think this guy is going to be a monster next year and has the potential to hit the late lottery. I believe he is going to work his ass off this summer and being one of the main options for KU next year I believe he is going to flourish.

    Robinsons shown Marcus Morris type potential in terms of his perimeter game, great to see him taking advantage of Danny Mannings ability to coach bigs.

    I’m surprised both came back. Robinson was projected to go middle of the first and T.T was a possible first rounder according to alot of scouts( i still don’t see it but i dont follow Jayhawk basketball very closely)

    Sounds like what Carolina went through last season. With the depth predicament, at least. Z, Henson, and umm… Thankfully we got lucky with Knox and Watts could kind of fill some minutes at PF. Sort of.

    I don’t understand why either of them would consider leaving. I guess if lake is right about what they saw in Robinson. If you asked me, I’m not sure I would draft either.

    Robinson because he is big and athletic and we all know NBA teams overrate players like that and think there potential is very high( not saying his isn’t) the Potential down fall of him coming back is now he gets more minutes and his flaws will be shown. Up side is he produces even more with the new minutes and raises his stock

     Production won’t be a problem for Robinson next season.  He could easily average 10 rebounds per game in 25-30 mpg next season.  This is a bit of a pleasant surprise to me, but I think it’s a good decision, I think he’ll be in the lotto next season.
