BREAKING NEWS: Sarr goes KU after drgnslayr donates nipple pinchers!
But seriously, we’ve been down this path before. I remember when we lost Zion to Duke and the world ended. We went on to eventually winning another nattie while Duke has done nothing but disappoint fans with all-star rosters who can’t finish.
At some point I step back and leave it to the basketball Gods to influence the eventual outcomes and go to bed happy knowing we’ll be okay and we are scheduled for another nattie some day soon… still ahead of Duke. Hahaha. They looked so good this year!
-
@drgnslayr And somehow KU got punished for Zion’s recruitment, but Duke was of course completely in the clear.
-
Well with Sarr to Duke (anything but official atm) I guess we just hope Williams continues to do poorly at the combine, lol? His measurements/first game were not very good.
EDIT: I still really want the guy. He was absolutely fantastic last year.
-
No info but I wouldn’t bank on him either.

This is not a transfer portal guy this person will be a freshman

So Dame Sarr coming to KU is contingent upon Coward not going pro right? When do we anticipate knowing whether Coward will go to Duke or NBA?

I think the deadline to withdraw is June 15? So, other month of potential agony.

If true, that is effed up - we get Duke’s leftovers??? This process begs the question I posed much earlier in this thread. What is plan B if the high reward - high risk gamble of playing the draft withdrawal waiting game doesn’t play out??? Why not just focus on getting a complete starting line-up committed much earlier in the process, like most other top tier teams have done???
If we don’t get Sarr or Williams, what then? I like the guys we have, but its not close to a contending starting lineup now - we have no size, bulk or shooters on the roster now. I get trying to be smarter about good fits, and don’t have any problem with adding Council, Dawson and White, but we are at least one starter short right now, with no front court size or depth…
-
Very unlikely Cedric Coward withdraws. Late 1st to early 2nd round projections (25-35) pretty much across the board. Players in that range rarely withdraw.
I think we are more realistically waiting on Darrion Williams and Boogie Fland who are both at best mid 2nd picks with Williams not being drafted in several mocks.
Sarr absolutely has a higher long term ceiling over Darrion Williams, but Williams is the better player right now and if this is Self’s last season, Williams is the better option for one season.

Coward doesn’t sound too interested in college ball.
-
Yes, we got punished but we got another trophy. Like I said, leave it to the basketball Gods!
-
Picking early is what we did last year and it didn’t work out. I’m still optimistic this year will work out.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’d be thrilled to land Williams and Fland. Like you said Williams is better now. We need quality experience to go along with DP.

Heck yeah. That’s one of the best case scenarios!!!

KU won’t get both, but those are the two big names currently attached to KU. Williams is far more likely than Fland.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yes. I see Williams as a good possibility. Not sure we are a real consideration for Fland. I expect him to stay in the SEC.

We were also expected to land Sarr as well and we saw how that worked out. I also agree that Fland is likely headed to Florida, but until everything is settled, KU has also been linked as a possible landing spot should his plans at Florida fall through for whatever reason.

Looks like Dame Sarr is on the Duke campus today. https://x.com/tiptonedits/status/1924473421586379115

Fland to Florida
-
Williams out of the Draft

KU have a real shot at Williams?
I realize it’s happened before, but I personally don’t care to have other Big 12 conference guys on the roster. weird.
-
Seems like a real shot but definitely going to be competition for him. Missing Sarr might end up a blessing if this frees up budget and lets us land Williams.
Agreed that interconference transfers aren’t my favorite but with conferences so large now, you are ignoring a large portion of the transfer pool by not looking at them.
-
Williams is on campus today.

Wow. that was fast!

Give me Williams please and I’ll return all my nipple clamps I bought during the Sarr fiasco.
-
@PharmacyHawk You can’t return them if they’ve been used.

I’m all about Nepal Clams. https://x.com/sankuchy/status/1374927846116786181

I mean honestly, they should be worth more if they are game worn imho.
