It sounds like White will play the 4 here as of right now. Sarr looks strictly a wing, Williams is a grown man that I think you can get away with playing some time at the 4. Tiller is the backup there currently if healthy. Definitely need a wing scorer to pair with Dawson. Whether its an expensive option, a less expensive option or something even cheaper is what we are waiting to see what domino falls.
If you can get Williams it’s a no brainer to take him over Sarr IMO
Word is Illinois went with other options because they felt Sarr wasn’t worth the cost.
-
I won’t complain about either, but Williams is the proven commodity.
-
I’m actually gonna disagree and go with the higher upside swing imo in Sarr. You’ll lose a few more non con games but if Self gets him to lock in we would have two lottery picks on the team.

I’m thinking we could see the news you are wanting fairly soon…

Just dm’d you

You obviously take Sarr if/when he wants to commit. Then keep recruiting Williams through the draft process. I don’t think there’s a realistic chance to get both but you absolutely recruit like there is.

If anyone is crazy enough to try it’s Billy Eugene

Are we going to get Ahamad Bynum? https://amp.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article305156881.html

@BShark Sarr will barely play if he comes here versus Williams starting.
Bill should only have Sarr as a backup if Williams doesn’t remove himself from the draft and come here

I got a pretty good tip from a solid source that Williams is very set on the draft…
-
Sarr is a player with higher long term upside than Williams. The downside to that is that Sarr may not be at KU long enough to reach the draft from KU if this is indeed Self’s final season. Because of that, Williams would be my preferred option for next season. If there was a guarantee of 2-3 more years from Self, then I would take Sarr.
-
Also, just browsing through several 2026 NBA mock draft projections, I saw 4 different KU players show up, and potentially a 5th depending on what happens with Sarr.
We all know Peterson is OAD and in the mix to be the #1 pick in 2026. I did see Dame Sarr as top 20 pick, and also saw Flory, Tre White, and Bryson Tiller as second round picks in the various mock drafts out there. I did not see Darrion Williams on any 2026 mock draft which means most draft guys think he’ll stay in because I saw quite few names that have declared this year being projected as 2026 picks.

This year, KU has zero players invited to the combine. First time in quite awhile and very fitting…

@BShark Says a lot about talent evaluation of guys not only once they get here but after they’ve been here
-
@kuballin10 Seems like evaluation of talent is just fine, let’s see Christian Braun - - Frank Mason - - -Devonte Graham- - Jalon Wilson - — Grady Dick- – - -Kelly Oubre - --seem pretty good evaluating their talent and development just fine…
Plus there have been countless kids from other programs that are suppose to be sure fire NBA locks and don’t do squat end up overs sea’s NBA busts falling flat on their face.- - So in the end they end up no better then many , many KU players that have ended up over sea’s so what’s te point? - who was doing the evaluating their talent ?- -Not Coach Self he isn’t the one who turn them into bust who got nothing from the NBA ? - that’s just fricken laughable

Get me Dame coach….

Soon
I can’t let Altman get this win man.
-
They gotta get the Sarr deal done soon or I think Duke makes another run
-
Duke is always a concern. They operate on a different playing field.
-
Duke is looking at Claude now so we’ll see…
