      I'd love for him to be back, and I don't think it's decided either way.

      Good to be back on the board fwiw, just needed a small refresh.

        Who on this staff is going to lead us to the promised land in portal talent assessment? Vaughn? That's what I'd like to know. If we lose Flory, do we get someone like Punch, do we pursue the myriad of other competent players that @beddieku23 mentioned, or do we sit back and end up with 1 too few bigs and 1 too few shooters.

        Bill declaring immediately is a good sign. Hopefully, he's all in and his staff is too.

          I think our portal assessment showed a lot of signs of improvement last season. Melvin and Tre were really good. Our problem last season was not a lack of good individual players, but a lack of cohesion.

            I think Case will be somewhere else next season, will be interesting to see who replaces him.

            As far as bigs, keep an eye on Mouhamed Sylla if Flory leaves. If he doesn't we will still need another big from the portal. One thing I am pretty sure of is if Stokes is added, one of Flory/Tiller is out of here at a minimum.

              Onward and upward!

              In this new NIL era, it's really hard to see any continuity in any team. I hope they can keep who they want, and bring in good fits.

              I'll say this as i do every freaking year...FIND SOME F*CKING SHOOTERS YOU SONSABITCHES!!!!!!!!

              Sadly i seem to be right every year. 😞

                Tons of bigs entered the portal recently in the Flory Mold. If he leaves I'm personally done with him.

                  @BShark OMG. A college ball player jumping ship before his Senior year? Unthinkable! I hope this doesn't start a new trend.

                  This is not a dig at you, BShark - just airing out my frustrations.

                  America! Where you have the right to be wrong.

                    Expecting Bland to be back on staff. He did do some interviews while Self was undecided.

                      I think Case and Dooley out at minimum. Maybe Doc as well but he’s a glorified travel agent so really who cares either way.

                          What did he actually do here lol.

                          Others need to move and Self needs to branch away from his friends and get some people who actually know how to teach offense

                            @BeddieKU23 He's a recruiter. One of the first guys in awhile that wasn't one of Self's old cronies. If you want the definition of just stealing from Kansas, Doc Sadler is on the staff.

                              Worth a read about how UConn's finances are doled out to men's vs women's basketball and basketball vs football. Less of a surprise that they are in the FF after reading this.
