        They clearly want a big since Reeves is recovering from surgery for a while. Can't imagine there's much NIL to give unless they found another willing source..It's unlikely to be a pretty commit whoever it is they end with

          @BeddieKU23 agree. Ewin would have been a game changer but they must think he won't be eligible now

                He’ll be far more talented than most guys who we offer the 15th scholarship too.

                  That Serbian center still in play?

                      Could be but I saw the kid’s parent with KT, Vaughn and Tyran today.

                        Rumors out there that Bardwell might be reclassifying to join this year's team.

                          If Bardwell makes it to campus this year, some interesting (tough) lineup choices are pending.
                          Somebody’s gonna have to play center.
                          Others like Parker and Kohl are either gonna pissed, or just have more experience than Bardwell.

                            Is Bardwell going to make a tangible improvement to a Bill Self 7 1/2 man conference rotation?

                              Give him the 2 year deal. Sophomore year he could be a monster.

                                Bardwell joining would be a nice jolt of talent to this team. I know its beneficial that he does reclass for his earnings potential with the eligibility changes. I also wonder if this move is that the staff isn't sold on what they got at the 2 guard/wing spot. Definitely can help us this yr

                                    @approxinfinity I don't think so. From his perspective it makes sense though. With the new rules coming into effect he would lose his 5th year for college if he takes this year in high school. Another talented body at the position doesn't hurt though. The problem is moreso that he has...tendencies that lead to Bill Self not playing a kid...

                                      I fear that he will transfer after year one in the current climate but would love to be wrong because the talent is absolutely there.

                                        Exactly why I’d push for the two year deal like Louisville did with that center.

                                          Unfortunately that's what i think on Bardwell as well. It's just beneficial he joins this yr and whatever we get from him is gravy. I don't expect anyone here more then a year anymore which is sad but after the last couple years the reality we are dealt

                                            I haven't seen Bardwell's prep game to speak with any insight, but his NBA scouting reports believe he can be a 3 and D guy at some point. But that may take a few years or so.

                                            Supposed to have good size and athleticism (6-7, 190+). But needs to get stronger. Can guard multiple positions with quick feet and movement. good in pick and roll eventually with good cutting ability. Smart. Good rebounder. Apparently not skilled with the ball yet.
