Interested in who will have a bigger impact next season. Although from sounds of it from Hawk Central, HN, and others Evelyn may just be a backup at this point.
Kansas is bringing him in as an outside shooting threat. As an outside shooter he is very good.I dont know who Kansas has at guard, but if Moss plays more than spot minutes, Self must have had serious recruiting issues. I'm predicting Bakari, but it's so hard to say because so much depends on how good CJ is and whoever Kansas has.

I guess I would just say not every team in the nation has the same makeup as Iowa in terms of skills. You mention about his crappy ball handling which I don’t totally disagree with, but if he plays on a team with ball handlers and guys who can create their own off the bounce, the lack of those abilities will be less noticeable than they were on Iowa.
He has the size to play both the two and the three. If he is asked to spot up and shoot threes and play in transition I think he can be solid. He can be a good defender when he commits to it.
Good fits for both teams. One doesnt have to deal with the coach s son.
One wanted to create his own shot. The other does. That will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Self never has liked just shooters.
Moss is going to have to play MUCH better defense if he is going to get minutes at KU.
IMO Moss is going to start and play ~25 MPG on a top 10 team next year that's probably going to win the Big 12 by 3+ games.
They aren't going to ask him to be a great defender or to get his own shot. What is your minute breakdown for KU next year?
Again, who on KU is playing all of these minutes over Moss?
I anticipate Bakari being an upgrade on defense. I think he could very well match Moss in PPG. But he will likely come by his points differently.I wish the best for Moss, but I don't think he is anything other than a roll player for Kansas, and less of a roll player than he was for Iowa. I don't think Bakari will have a huge impact on Iowa either. Iowa would have been much better off if they could have kept Moss I think.
