I would like to thank @Jethro for always believing.

After so many years of practice deciphering the cryptic posts on this board, it sounds like Braun will be coming back. Big news.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 that pic of andrew jones is nuts. Shows the extent these kids will sacrifice their bodies to get a few inches of advantage on their opponent. Baller.

Much more likely today than it was previously. Heard some very good news in regards to that situation. Really can’t overstate how much he enjoys it at KU.

Just to keep it straight in my head…keeping track of the comings and goings.
NEWCOMERS
Gradey Dick / sf
MJ Rice / sf
Ernest Udeh / c
Zuby Ejiofor / pf
LEAVING
Ochai / g
JCL / g
Remy / g
Mitch / c
Cuffe / g
PROBABLY LEAVING
McCormack / c
KINDA MAYBE GOING
Cam / pf-c
KJ / not a guard? ha
Wilson / f
Braun / gf
Joe Y / g
We got some strange math going on! gotta find some guards. Experienced guards.
-
Cuffe is a lock to leave.

Gotcha. i’ll update my list. thx @BShark
-
Hasn’t been announced but it will be.
-
Agree we need a veteran scoring guard from the portal. I’m sure Bill will get one.

Dude was so hyped coming in, right?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Basically a very athletic guy they took a flyer on. I disliked that they had him reclass up. Really needed the extra year in HS and then still take a RS. I think he’s probably 2 years away, skill wise.

yea, the reclass part made it seem like he was a can’t miss gotta have kinda guy. confusing.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Maybe @FarmerJayhawk can confirm but I’m fairly confident we only asked him to reclass because Bryce left. Bill likes having the roster full.
-
And just to do math, which isn’t my strength!
4 guys coming in
11 guys potentially leaving! Of course that won’t happen.

Makes sense.

Guessing 3-4 early departures. Impact of transfers will depend on who leaves. Think we do need that scoring guard type regardless.

So that means we prolly need to find 4 guys from the portal, or 5-star unsigned guys
Looking forward to the shenanigans in the next few weeks. Go Self and crew!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk won’t be high school guys. If CB and JWill are both back, probably mostly roster filler guys to replace roster filler Bill didn’t like lol.

Yeah the plan was to take him as a 22 recruit until… we didn’t

He’s king of the mountain. It’s not like he’s hurting for money right now, even if his family is well off. I think he will definitely get evaluated by the NBA, and he’ll come back for his senior year.

Dennis brings other qualities to the table, too.
We all have come to know that it isn’t just if a kid can ball. Their attitudes are equal contributions (or not).

We may need a big dose of humility on next year’s team coming off a NC.
I don’t know if he’s a good fit… that’s Self’s job. I do know he’s headed to Indiana for a visit.
Great defensive player. If we only had to play defense, he’d be great. Offensively, he’s sub par. I’d be afraid Bill would fall in love with his defense, and would overlook how mediocre he really is on offense. This is no Ochai…lol.
-
@approxinfinity where is that?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 in that story about Yes you posted
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I can’t fine anymore photos of Manhattan, Ames, Lubbock or Fort Worth that everyone hasn’t seen 8 times twice a year. I’ll be back when the new Big 12 is finally formed.
-
@wrwlumpy ha. You could do collages of anything i would still check em out.
-
@wrwlumpy at least check in! We miss hearing from you.
-
Dave officially gone, announced on Instagram. Kinda had to given we recruited like he would be gone. Would have been a bad look and burned some bridges.
-
Damn. Now let’s get his name in the rafters…
-
More soon. CB and JWill should both declare without an agent.

2 out of 3 ain’t bad…

We would have had someone leave that we REALLY don’t want to leave if Dave were to return.
I’d put it at 1.5 right now. With CB being the .5.
-
I think CB has the best chance but I think J Will wants to leave more than CB
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Next Year's Team Thread:

Both very true. Talk around JWill is he wants to leave before every offseason and he ultimately ends up returning. It’s mostly because his other options are not as good. If you flip flopped their draft stock CB would be 1000% back and JWill would have declared w/ an agent by now.

Did JWill go through the process last year? If he declares again, is he gone for good?
-
@Gorilla72 Fairly confident they changed that rule so that players can go through the process as many times as they want.
-
JWill can declare again and return.
-
I think he’s in Disneyland or world.
-
Dave can still come back…even if he hires an agent…
slim and none, and slim just took the bus, but I can still wishful think…
-
@Jethro I’m here to crush dreams and chew bubblegum and well you know the rest.

Jalen is having a 5pm Twitter Spaces today. Announcement? @BShark
-
Has CB officially put his name in to the draft? 3 days left.
-

Probably worth tuning into.
-
@BShark do we have to do anything special to get it? Just click on it?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah just click the spaces link when it goes live
-
Missed it. What did Jalen say? Or is the link still valid?
-
Jalen is still talkin. It’s been good stuff. He talked about being in a dark place before the season but this year changed his life for the better.
-
@BShark it wouldn’t open for me. Dark place after his dui? Hope u took notes.
