So does everyone agree that Self had killed it with this years recruiting class? One of his best ever, at least on paper?

I agree that they had talent. My criteria is not just talent but positive impact on the program. I get we need the one and dones to remain competitive as an elite team. But, there is also what they accomplished during their one year. Did we get multiple years out of good players like Mason. Chalmers and Rush seems to be a better choice to me.

When you say a literal non-factor, you're referencing the fact that he didn't actually play in the tournament, right?
Embiid is the most talented prospect that Self has recruited here (and probably will remain so until Self leaves) and was a massive impact player for KU until he got hurt. He actually led the NCAA in Box Plus Minus that year, a list that includes players such as Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, and Karl Anthony Towns over the past few years. |

If you're wondering how crazy the NBA salaries are this year, Cole Aldrich just got 3 years $22 million from the Timberwolves.
He's definitely gotten better since he entered the league, but that's still freakin messed up |

I'm not big on elevating players impact on KU based on their potential talent but what they did on the court wearing the KU jersey.

Great deal for the TWolves. He's a better player than Biyombo who got 50M more.

It's very debatable if he's more talented than Wiggins, and even more debatable that "it isn't even close"
