expected to replace Boschee in the lineup next season.
"It's hard to say that somebody's going to come in and do the same things that guy did, and yet Keith Langford came in off the bench and really did some nice things and may give us some things that Jeff didn't." Williams said. Williams said Langford had improved defensively as much as any freshman he had coached.
Assuming that no other Kansas player decides to leave school early for the NBA — namely juniors Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich — the Jayhawks would be returning 60 percent of their scoring and 59 percent of their rebounding for next season. Kansas led the nation in scoring this year, averaging 93.5 points per game.
"I spend probably too much time thinking, doodling on paper and napkins, trying to make sure I know what I'm looking at and wanting." Williams said. "Are we going to play three little guys? Can the two big guys run as well as they did last year?"
All of that has got to fit in, and if it doesn't, we'll have to change some things."
The Kansas roster could change significantly during the next few weeks. Williams gave Collision and Hinrich information a little more than a week ago about their possible position in the NBA Draft if they chose to leave.
Collison, the team's second-leading scorer this season, and Hinrich, the team's third-leading scorer, both attended the Gooden press conference last Friday. They haven't provided any hint about whether they plan to stay or leave, but several college basketball experts, such as ESPN analysts Andy Katz and Dick Vitale, think the juniors will return.
Gooden slipped up a little during the press conference, indicating that his former teammates are leaning towards staying in Lawrence.
"Kirk and Nick are coming—" he said. "Well, I guess they have a big decision to make also. They are going to be a great team no matter what. Coach Williams is a great coach, and they will find a way."
