You made it count when you got minutes. Good on you kiddo.

Our only RSCI top 100 players truly in the rotation are Dave and JWill.

Couple KS 3 stars (Och/CB), a PG going to Missouri State, a super walk-on and Remy is obviously good but was a fringe 4 star (depending on the site).

Player development is so good, and people (myself included) tend to underrate returning players.

Didn’t really want to talk about this beforehand but it went well. I should be okay.

We got a star here.

Says he told his team to back off, but he had starters in PRESSING AND HARD FOULING KU’s walk-ons with 2 minutes to go. I call bullshit, Squeaky.

BAH GAWD, THAT WAS A GREAT GAME FROM DAVID MCCORMACK.

He’s been serviceable all tournament. Tip of the cap. I’ve been hard on him all year.

I could be wrong but the contingency plans for wings has been disappointing. It was fairly obvious our wings were leaving after the season. Then we ran off Passmore as well now we just have Tre White and Samis I guess?

If Samis sees the floor just cancel the season. I think KU is in a really good spot with Darrion still…

Do not read anything from Sportskeeda.

Rip off aggregators.

It was in the back of my mind that the site was sleazy in some way.

I wonder how much ad revenue such things generate.

AI generated? Not sure but amazing what passes for an “article” these days.

John Buggs is a name to monitor.

Assuming that is the 13th guy spot? Does nothing good besides shoot the 3. Having a hard time finding just how many schools he’s been to, transferred 3 times since 23, think its 5 schools including Juco, wow. 68-99 made shots were from 3. Literally doesn’t do a single other thing at average level. Crazy.

Yeah JCL type player. In his own words he said he doesn’t care what role/minutes he gets. Wants to be on a winning team and get paid (even end of bench KU money is better than the places he has been).

Still working to see how legit this is from KU’s side.

So Vaughn, Buford in and then it sounds like more shake up is coming to the staff that we’ll hear about soon.

I like this direction; it certainly signals a major change for Self from the past 20+ years. Both guys have professional coaching experience, will remain to be seen how they do recruiting but we all know right now it’s more about NIL than anything else. This is a potentially positive change in the short and long term for the program.

Vaughn? For real? That would be a shocking step down for him. If that’s true, the succession rumors must be for real.

He’s likely an all time favorite for many of us, but I’d have to ponder if I’d like him as a KU head coach.

He’s in Lawrence and negotiations are on going.

Backup big potential Patrick Suemnick visited KU today. Wait and see mode now with him

This is sounding like it’s done

From what I understand, there was a fair bit of fatigue with the donors and changes were required.

Oops. No, not now! I meant a phase out. 1 or 2 years

This I would agree with. I think we will see a clear succession plan too. Bill doesn’t want to leave KU in a bad spot.
