@FarmerJayhawk Yeah. He and CB would be dumb not to.

@BShark said in Next Year's Team Thread:
Yeah JWill signed with an agent. But apparently you can do that now and come back if it’s an NCAA certified agent? Lol. Probably gone oh well.
that hurts , & if Christan leaves gonna be interesting. - -If Christan comes back - -means a lot why ? - - CAUSE we will STILL have our Dog , our boy with some attitude , cockiness , edge - I love seeing that when you can back it up - - Christan can back it up. Christan comes back next year might be better, NO Och to defer shots to seems like he passed up a lot of shots, I dunno maybe he just felt Och needed to be THE GUY. - Well id Christan comes back he can be THE GUY- I still have serious doubts about him coming back but the ol wise one says - Oh he will be back -so we will have to see - hope so
-
@BShark so they can or not come back?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 can come back. Wouldn’t count on it based on what I heard tonight. Seems like the interviews happened today/tonight.
3 transfers out is still my guess. With what I was told on who we are targeting, they are recruiting as if Jalen is leaving.
-
@BShark if only g league?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think he’d need a better offer than gleague. He wants to go pro somewhere though. His dream.
-
@BShark so he’s ok with overseas?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 i imagine it would depend on the contract
-
Got Snippets from TOS some comments about our incoming Frosh - sounds pretty decent anyways which I pretty much had been hearing and seeing anyways but this is what I saw;
Udeh : - -Love hearing this - - -High Energy , excellent on the glass ( That’s really good to hear ) & really good rim in transition - - oh ya Rice :- - -Power Wing with improved Skill level Zuby - - - Powerful , ( nice , nice ) Explosive ( - -THAT sounds sweet always can use those types for sure ) - & Ultra Aggressive - Me Thinks I like EVERYTHING that was said about Zuby
Been hearing Udeh & Zuby still kind of raw but that’s ok if they can produce in other areas and grow really good 3-4 yr players - I’ll take that any day - -everyday. Coach and the Staff seems to have a history of developing guys -
-
I’m feeling next year will be good. Not going to cut the nets. 2024 will be our chance once Self works the roster for 2 years.
-
Sure makes me appreciate what Och did for us and the smart decision he made for himself. He also put in the work.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Another senior or seniors (counting Big Dave and Remy) leading their team to a national championship. Been a while since a OAD laden team has won it. Maybe Duke in 2015 was the last?
-
This won’t happen but imagine if CB and JWill came back and we swapped Cuffe for Hunter. 🥶🥶🥶
-
Cuffe was signing autographs
-
@BShark are you saying we have a chance with CB?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 if he gets first round feedback he will leave
-

And I think he will get that 1st round feedback
-

As much as I want him to stay, I think you’re right.
-
@Jethro I’ve heard some things on this one. If he isn’t going to be drafted in the first round, he should be back.
-
Hard to say where that ends up. I think if he signs with a good agent they should be able to get him taken in the first round considering his skill set and measurables. He was our clear cut 2nd best player this year.
-
CB really needs to get that 3 off faster and flip his switch quicker! I hope in the scrimmages he doesn’t fold, no bitches in the crowd.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 You bring up a good point- the reason I thought CB would come back was I didn’t think he was ready maturity-wise for the NBA. I felt like his big challenge this past year was to be really good at the college level, and he accomplished that. I’m not sure he was focused or even thinking on the NBA at all- he didn’t declare for the draft last year, so I’ve been assuming he was going to follow the Ochai path- come back for the senior year, etc. But I think he had such a breakout year that it thrust him into the 1st round picture, which could change things.
-
@Jethro Remember the posters on 247 that were saying CB sucked after the 20-21 season? Good times…
-
Until he shows more aggressiveness and an ability to take and hit quick shots, I just cannot see the first round. If he does that in the combine, sure, but I would pass. NBA teams need every player to be a threat.

What about that clown that said CB should quit driving the ball because he wasn’t good at it in the preseason? Boy, he looks pretty silly now. Oh wait…that was me.
LOL

To be fair, Braun did suck during the 20-21 season and why a lot of people including me didn’t think he should be a starter last off-season. There was merit to the line of thinking this time last year because Braun was a black hole on both ends of the floor way too frequently thar year. Obviously Braun improved enough to where he might be an NBA player next season when that was unthinkable 12 months ago.
-
I think sucks is a reach given his output his SO year. He was a solid starter that turned into a great one this year.

His output as a sophomore was 38% from the field and 34% from three while being a massive liability on defense and being a non factor way too frequently. He scored 5 or fewer points 10 times as a sophomore. He wasn’t solid as a sophomore, he was bad. Braun’s play was a big reason why Self said KU needed to get more athletic because he was a huge factor in KU losing 9 games and dropping out of the top 25 for the first time in over 10 years.
-
Roster for sure gonna have a new look next year , you figure with Dave gone , Remy gone , Jalen Coleman lands gone , Mitch gone , And chances really good Christan and Jalen both gone then you can almost bet Cuffe gone , Chance of Cam being gone , - lot of new faces hitting the floor, yet I’m thinking were gonna be fine
-
Let’s see , now that the guys have officially declared to enter the NBA draft , which we knew they would. Not that this is done, now so when is it a player has to announce and turn in his request/paper to enter the portal/transfer I thought I had seen May 1st i guess really no actual time line right all though there is a time they do or they have to sit a year without a waiver is that right? - We should start hearing about our transfer outs now - possibilities Cuffe , Cam , who else ? - KJ - I myself I just get this feeling KJ going to end up staying for another year to see how it plays out - - could be wrong mama needs to sit down and let her son decide he is old enough to make his OWN DECISIONS NOW

Love returning to UNC. An expected but important for KU domino…

I do not mean to cause alarm but this guy is as connected to ISU’s basketball program as ANYONE.

I hate the in conference transfer.

I love it, personally. ISU is our new farm team. YEEHAW.

Had to laugh at a couple of responses on this - -Big time favorite : - ISU fan - - - Tired of Blue Bloods , if every blue blood fell of the face of the earth the world would be better fot it.
The response to that statement : Wait for it - - - Well try to be a MINI blue blood if you can - - - -Oh BUT WAIT - - - your Iowa State - -roflmao
Then this one. - Iowa State Fan Motto - - - Don’t think - – just Boo - - -lmao

If Wilson and Braun leave, next year’s team will really be lacking experience.

Probably gotta get some experience in the portal.

Shooting, shooting, shooting! We need shooters! The ISU dude would be a fine get, but doesn’t fill immediate needs.
SHOOTING!
-
Portal experience is great but history has shown that it still takes the transfers some time to adapt into the KU/Self system. Think things could be a bit bumpy early season next year as guys are gaining on-the-job experience in games. Not something we are used to seeing here.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I wish Bill cared about shooting as much as us.
@RockkChalkk I agree. I think we could be in for a rough start as guys acclimate depending on how things shake out. Getting Jalen back is a big key for me.

Gosh… we may be hated even more in Hilton. Maybe they start screaming racial slurs at our players! lol
EJ went off for 39… I’ll never forget that and it is why EJ is on my all-time fav list of KU players.
-
@drgnslayr - Hilton may have some choice phrases for Gradey….
-
@drgnslayr Have you heard the story behind that game? Apparently Bill tried to take him out and he just stayed on the court and decided he would shoot every opportunity he got. He said he kinda had to earn that respect from Self in order to be able to do something like that but he thinks ultimately Self kinda liked him challenging him that way. He talks to Landen about it on his podcast. It was super fun to listen to!

Mark Adams got an extension and raise of about $1 million to stay at Texas Tech through the 26-27 season.
