2024/2025 Lineup

[DeletedUser]

He withdrew from the NBA draft?

[ramjet]

soooo, did KU cave?

[twocoach]

And now we are at:

Returners:
Hunter Dickinson
Dajuan Harris
KJ Adams
Jamari McDowell
Elmarko Jackson
Zach Clemence

Possible Returner:
Johnny Furphy (unlikely)

Freshmen:
Flory Bidunga
Rakeese Passmore
Labaron Philon

Transfers:
Riley Kugel
Zeke Mayo
AJ Storr

So we are at 13 scholarships (FULL) if Furphy returns and 12 if he does not. Assuming Furphy does not return (let's be honest, he's gone) then KU will either burn that last NCAA scholarship penalty or sign one more player. And based on KU's continued pursuit of Rylan Griffen from Bama, it looks like KU may say fuck it and go all in by using that scholarship.

[twocoach]

Would like to see the last scholarship go to Dayton's Koby Brea who shot 50% from three on 8.4 attempts per game.

That's likely what goning to happen

High level transfers at this point come in at an auto meh from me.
Default meh.
Zeke Mayo has a good head start out of mehzone because he's a Lawrence kid.

true, but I didn't have as much disdain for hunter until I heard him talk and watched him play. Then it went from meh to....blech.

[InfiniteJ]

I still feel like Bill needs to get another big out of the portal, unless he really thinks Zach is the answer.

[randylahey]

He isn't slow and white so he will never be hated like hunter

He's still trying for the center from Rutgers, omoruyi

If he thinks Zach is playable as an emergency 3rd BIG then maybe we have enough with HD Bidunga and Clemence. With Kj likely penciled in for 30+ at the 4 spot, and all the wings/guards we are suddenly stocked up on, we may be fine without another big guy.

Should I go dig up some of your Bobby Pettiford posts?

We have enough. But, it never hurts to add more

Any extra additions at this point means someone transfers away most likely (assuming furphy gone and we burn the Self imposed scholarship)

The next great guard at kansas?

[pdub]

This one was especially hilarious.

"I heard Bobby pettiford tried to commit a mass shooting but wasn't able to connect on any of his shots"

You really got it randy.

KU has Dickinson, Adams, Clemence and Bidunga so I think they are all set for bigs. No need to get any more as I can see more situations where Bill only goes with 1 big on the floor now that he has multiple shooters.

I think Koby Brea would be a perfect fit to add. He's been coming off the bench so he isn't going to be pissed if he doesn't start and he shot 50% from three. Enough of this BS with not having shooters. Pile them in the wagon and let's get back to firing away.

That's true. Deedrick was also slow and white.
