Perry Ellis

He seems to be a bit overrated.

Agree. Seemed like he lacked some skill, he played hard. Confidence looked a little down!

It can be tough to be a freshman, especially in the post. It would be premature to discount his future career at KU.

I agree. Give him time. I don't think his HS career was a fluke. Seems this board has been pretty tough on our freshmen most of the year. It happens.

I would add especially on a team as deep as KU. How many freshman at KU really have outstanding years? It happens but they sign almost exclusively top 100 players. It is harder to be standout in that situation.

Even Ben Mcelmore redshirted last year, possible top pick in the draft.

Totally agree. Also, he's been pretty good for a freshman. You cannot use one game as a baseline.

He wasn't academically eligible last year.

My bad!

Right now I'm quite happy that we got Buddy instead, if we could have only had one or the other.

 

[Escape Goat]

He'll be a good player.

Very few big men in each class can come into Div 1 bball as freshmen and be dominant. He will be a solid post player for Self.

Don't think so, I personally love his motor. He is playing behind a first team all conference player and Young, who isn't nearly as skilled as Ellis but "gets it". A full summer on campus is going to do wonders for him, the biggest improvement for a collegiate player is from conference season of their freshman year to conference of their sophomore season.

He will be a solid player by the time his KU career is done.
