Could be Marcus adams jr

That's the opposite of normal.

My reasoning is Self has talked this off-season about wanting a big wing, and without McCullar, Marcus Adams is the only one they have.

Now, the real answer is probably "whoever Self would otherwise be recruiting hard right now (e.g. Kaluma)".

I also think it would be naive NOT to think that McCullar is probably a solid reference case for how NIL means that college ball can now compete with sub-NBA pro ball.

NIL cash, very much plus all of the other cool things that come with college ball over Tulsa or Turkey, means that college ball can, does and will keep guys who would otherwise be playing in Tulsa or Turkey.

Yea, I too think of this as an NIL success story.

Unless he was gonna get drafted, it’s nice that college is the 2nd best option for a dood like Mc

HERE’S ONE TAKE FROM AN NBA FRONT OFFICE REP

NBA employees are not allowed to comment publicly on current college players. An NBA front office official did offer The Star his anonymous take on McCullar’s return: “I think it was a good decision to return to Kansas. I think his stock will go up (in a super-senior season). I really like him.”

Asked about the potential of McCullar receiving a significant amount of money in NIL for his super-senior season, the NBA representative said: “That’s probably the main reason. If he would have gotten a bigger buzz by the NBA (before and after the Combine) I think he would have stayed in the draft.”

Dajuan 34.
McCullar 31.
KJ 31.
Hunter 29.

Timberlake 21.
Elmarko 17.
Arterio 14.
Marcus Adams 11.
Chris Johnson 7.

21.2 PPG, 12.7 RPG, 66% FG, 66% 3FG.
That's a bit ridiculous.

And yea, he gets beat on perimeter defense, and has issues with help defense from what i've seen, but generally has also held his ground against posts who try to back into him or get past him, and has threatened shots from penetrating guards after leaving his man.

Back to back triple doubles which hadn't been done by ANY college player in over a decade and was kind of our only bright spot in that Marquette game
