If we lose HD, what we have coming in is not nearly enough. That could leave us with Clemence starting at the 5 for part of the season.

If maybe, then my answer is no, we cannot sneak in late and 'steal' Bryson Tucker.
He is looking at the G League.
He wants a bag.

somebody should tell this kid it's 2024. "bags" have been substituted by collectives.

A legal bag.
It's nice looking.
It's a bag you would reuse.

You don't feel confident in a 4th year top 30 6'10 recruit and the #1 overall center in next years class?

That's a hell of a start, especially considering hunter would be dumb to leave

He couldn't palm a softball with those tiny hands let alone a basketball.

KU will be just fine without HD next year if it lands 1-2 more players who can shoot a damn three.

We've had the most conference losses ever under Bill Self WITH him so I think we'd be just fine without him. If the stays, great. If he doesn't, great. No one is irreplaceable.

Honestly I think every player on the roster might be on the hot seat after this season.

Except for, oh let’s say, McDowell

I don't care either way if we have hunter next season. I miss having rim protection, the most important skill a center can provide in my opinion. Hunter doesn't do that

He's very good at other things obviously but being that slow and not providing any weak side shot blocking is a huge hole in his game (and why he's still in college and not a pro)

Flory Bidunga is only 6'8. That's not ideal for a center.

Some sites have him at 6 foot 9.
Others 6 foot 10.
How tall was Tshiebwe?

Am I wrong believing we currently have 6 conference losses and in 19 and 21 we also had 6 conference losses?

You do realize without him we would probably have more conference losses. Right?

i think we’d definitely have more losses, all else equal, with Udeh and Zuby instead of HD

Yes. 8 seed type team or worse. Especially with the KM injuries. We could have games where we struggled to score 50pts.

This of course is ridiculous.

Fucking lol to the lol.

Oklahoma is going to be an 8 seed.

Jesus.

You don't think we could have lost 5-7 more games without HD?
