The Coaching Staff for the 2019-20 Kansas Basketball team is set. Bill Self will return for his 17th season as head coach flanked by associate Head Coach Jerrance Howard, assistant coaches Kurtis Townsend and Norm Roberts, and Director of basketball operations Barry Hinson.

The expectations

In recent years the Kansas Jayhawks have been one of the most successful college basketball teams in the country. They have won numerous conference titles and have made deep runs in the NCAA tournament

This season, the Jayhawks are expected to once again compete for a conference title and make a strong push for the national title. They have a talented lineup that features several players who are potential NBA draft picks.

The Jayhawks will need to play well as a team to reach their goals this season. If they can do that, they will be in contention for another championship.

The analysis

The Jayhawks will have a different look this season after losing several Key Players to the NBA Draft and graduation. Head coach Bill Self will have to rely on several newcomers to step up and fill the void left by those departures.

Here is a look at Kansas’ probable starting lineup for the upcoming season

PG: Devon Dotson
SG: Quentin Grimes
SF: Ochai Agbaji
PF: David McCormack
C: Udoka Azubuike

Dotson is the Jayhawks’ most likely candidate to take over the point guard duties full-time after sharing time in that role last season with Malik Newman, who has since departed for the NBA. The sophomore from Charlotte, North Carolina is a quick and explosive player who can get to the rim at will and is also a solid defender.

Grimes was Kansas’ leading scorer last season as a freshman and will be counted on to provide even more offense this season. The 6-foot-5 guard from The Woodlands, Texas is an excellent shooter who can also put the ball on the floor and get to the basket. He has unlimited potential and could be one of the best players in college basketball this season.

Agbaji burst onto the scene last season as a freshman and quickly became one of Kansas’ best players. He has good size at 6-foot-5 and is an excellent shooter with range beyond the three-point line Agbaji should see his scoring increase this season as he takes on an even bigger role for the Jayhawks.

McCormack will be Kansas’ starting center after showing flashes of potential last season as a backup to Azubuike. The 6-foot-10 big man from Oak Hill Academy is a physical presence in the paint who can score with his back to the basket or facing up from mid-range. He needs to improve his rebounding if he wants to hold down the starting job all season long

Azubuike returns for his senior season as one of the top centers in College Basketball The 7-footer from Nigeria averaged nearly 13 points and seven rebounds per game last season while shooting an impressive 77 percent from the field. He anchor’s Kansas’ defense with his shot blocking ability and gives them a big body down low on offense.

The fans

The fans have spoken and the Kansas Basketball lineup for the upcoming season is finalized.

The Jayhawks will take on the Kentucky Wildcats in their first game of the season, and fans are already eagerly anticipating the matchup.

With such a talented roster, it was difficult for head coach Bill Self to choose which players would get the start.

In the end, he decided on Devonte’ Graham, Lagerald Vick, Svi Mykhailiuk, Malik Newman, and Udoka Azubuike.

This starting five is sure to be a force to be reckoned with and has the potential to take home another National Championship title.

However, Self knows that it will take more than just talent to win games.

“We have to come out with a lot of energy and effort every night,” he said in a recent press conference. “There are no easy outs in College Basketball ”

The Jayhawks’ first game of the season is set for October 27th at 7:00pm ET.
