Now they’re saying he would have to red shirt unless he can get a waiver. He must’ve received some benefits at UCSB.

Ya just read from TOS Zach IS back in Lawrence and enrolled in classes , says Coach Self. -Zach DID NOT enroll in USCB so is not a two time transfer which means that that plan is for him to Red Shirt.
-
He’s bacccckk. Enrolled in classes
-
Very nice!

Never left, reportedly.

I was afraid he’d turn into a Bill Walton hippie out in Cali…
-
Given he’s redshirting I would like another big.

-
Coach Self in an interview with Mat Tait said, that Zach never left, He said he was at home in San Antonio ? -Zach got back on Campus last night , had been practicing Coach said Zach never stepped foot on USCB Campus
-
This is one of the weirdest one’s I’ve seen.
I would like to know whether the redshirt is because of the sort-of-transfer rule applying to him now or some plan for Zach after this year.
If it’s the former, ha, wow. If it’s the latter, so much changes in a year. Hard to imagine he won’t be recruited over again next year.
Perhaps he will have the last laugh here. I’ve been on his bandwagon since Sunrise and besides a few flashes we haven’t seen the best of him. I’m not sure KU or this level is his best fit though from what we have seen. Seems like his transition to College Ball has been a lot harder then perhaps expected. Zach was a good HS player that played top notch competition and held his own while showing his skillset. We have seen very little consistency from him here.
We shall see what happens

Per ON3 and Swain, “Swain added that Clemence is expected to redshirt this coming season even though he’d be eligible to play.
“Clemence initially announced his intention to transfer from Kansas this past spring and committed to UC Santa Barbara, but he did not enroll at UCSB and therefore is not a two-time transfer, so he could have been eligible to play this season,” says Swain. “But the expectation is that he will redshirt at KU next season. He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining after the redshirt season.”
-
Makes total sense to me. Even if he gets recruited over he gets to learn on a top shelf program then transfer out with 2 years of eligibility

It’s not always about basketball. Zach honestly needs help, and I’m glad Bill took him back for that reason.
-
He could learn big time from Hunter, similar builds from when he showed up to Michigan

And que the next thread…Zach has a problem we don’t know about. Let the speculation begin!

Well, it’s not exactly a secret around Lawrence what happened last offseason.
I have a friend that worked at Sunrise who talked with Zach today. Sounds like his head is in the right place currently. I also wonder if there were any stipulations for his return regarding his mom. I haven’t heard anything in that regard but maybe @FarmerJayhawk has.

There ya go. If it ain’t exactly a secret…please share! I haven’t heard any rumors or issues with Zach. So, well kept secret if it never made any of the boards. Hope it’s minor.

@BShark I’ll say this. There’s a reason Zach is back and not Ernie
-

I suppose I can air it now that it’s not happening. Ernie wanted to come back, just never worked out on KU’s end. Zach was willing to do whatever, Ernie wanted more.
-
Ah, bummer for Udeh. I liked him.
Those two get into a Tyshawn Taylor vs the KU football team skirmish?
-
Ernie wanted more what? Money? What happened last season? Why the secrecy?
-
Lots of stuff you hear around Lawrence that doesn’t make it to the boards. I really don’t think it does much good so I’ll just leave it at he failed to meet the standards of the KU basketball program and expectations Self had.

I heard he thought he should start over Hunter, and also thought he was a OAD right now. Just too fractured to be repaired, on both sides.

Role/playing time mostly. Sounds like he has a big ego.
-
@BShark his AAU coach has been a bad influence. Mama Udeh is still cranky over the deal

“Udeh should have listened to his mom” trusted source.
-
@BShark good life advice generally tbh
-
For sure.
-
Thanks, Farmer & BShark!

Unless you’re Billy Preston, then don’t listen to your mom.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 especially if she’s banging your bag man. Then NOT GREAT BOB
-
I like it. Gives Zach a year to muscle up and learn with no expectation to see the floor. At the same time if he is needed, heaven forbid, he could step in at a moments notice. Kid has some instincts but needs some polish and muscle. He is in a good place to gain both.
-
@FarmerJayhawk amen to moms!
-
@BShark Udeh sure had good body language on the bench and in the locker room.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 what a nightmare!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 How about if you are Cliff Alexander?
-
@AsadZ that’s definitely a no!
-
@BShark he sure didn’t act like he had a big ego!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:

He literally left for playing time, and at the last possible minute after kinda telling the staff he would be back. He isn’t what he seems.
-
@BShark “after kinda telling”? I don’t blame him! Maybe 2 more yrs of sitting on the bench? I don’t believe being a practice player against Hunter makes you a great player. You need game time. Do we know what Coach told Udeh? You will sit 3 yrs before I play you much? I think he has to much upside and was an ultimate team guy. I hope Hunter is a team guy.
-
-
@BShark poisonous, constrictor, or bull? Or could it be all 3? I am asking for a friend.
-
@BShark Udeh a snake? Sure had most of us fooled. Looked like he loved being a Jayhawk! Or you talking about me?🥰
-
ChiChi’s NOT a celebration of rude. Got it.
Sounds like I will root for Udeh as much as I do Bryce Thompson…
-
The article recently released by the KC Star was kind of weird. His mom hinted he could redshirt and then transfer if things don’t go right. Also mentioned he was going to play the 4 at UCSB and get the offense built around him.

If things don’t go right we’ll be happy to see him transfer I think. Again, I don’t see him as a P5 guy without him putting in just a shit ton of work. I don’t think it is necessarily basketball skill holding him back as much as just not being athletic enough for this level of basketball. Only complete and total dedication to changing his body and how it moves will get him on the court at the P5 level.
-
@Kcmatt7 Agreed he has really slow feet and not real powerful or able to get off the floor. When he doesn’t hit some three’s to offset his defensive liabilities he’s a double negative.
Great practice body though to have and hopefully this helps him improve.
-
@BShark You can’t be serious. Dude was so fun loving on the bench always smiling and hamming it up even when he wasn’t playing big minutes.
That being said hope Hunter takes him to school twice this year
