Interesting to start Grimes if the consensus is a waiver for 2019-20 is not likley.

who’s consensus?..most analysts think he will get it

I am no expert but the following said he would sit out this season:

SI [june]
CBS Sports [june]
247sports [july]
UH release [july]

I have seen mentions of filing a waiver but have not seen anyone say it would more likely to be granted than denied.

I just hope all those young guys fully appreciate what they are seeing! Unbelievable opportunity for some so early in life.

What? Almost all of them quoted the UH article
And the UH article said he is sitting becuase that is the protocol until he gets his waiver … It wasn’t stating an opinion on his waiver … non where stating likely hood

247 and rival beat writers have all stated that they think he will get his waiver… numerous other outlets have stated Kansas will support whatever claim…

@pesik Sasser looks like a steal now

I really like Sasser’s potential. Like all true freshman, I’m sure he’s going to have ups and downs, but a good defender and shooter always has a place on our team.

ive been on the sasser train for a while

i remember a month ago me and @TJCoog going at it…when i said sasser could replicate hintons freshmen stats (except rebounding) if grimes was not eligible (6-7pts and contribute)…and he could be a good as a reserve guard as a freshmen …where he didnt believe

lol im now willing to triple down on my statements… lol

A previous tweet said that the gym they were playing in has no air conditioning. It must be a common problem for the court to get too slippery to play.

He was a profilic scorer in HS and has the bloodlines. You were right on with him. If you are bringing Mills and Sasser off the bench that’s not bad at all.

Perhaps Italy can line up a team that can stay on the court with us next time. I mean c’mon we’re jet lagged, visited Vatican City earlier in the day, we didn’t start our best 5 Sasser was our leading scorer and didn’t start which screams garbage time.

Sasser started. Probably wasn’t much garbage time in the game since it was only three quarters

How do you know who started ?

UH BBall tweeted starting lineup

My bad you’re right Sasser started.
