I remember those halcyon times, when kids like Brandon Rush signed as HS sophomores, and you could plan out the depth chart years in advance.
What? This isn't true at all. Brandon rush didnt sign until September of his freshman year at KU. He was a late addiction

Good for him. He'll start there.
I'm not in love with all the transfer stuff, but I think this is an example of how it can help guys find their level. I think Yesufu is better than Drake, but not good enough for Kansas. Bottom-tier P5 is the right spot.
13.2 PPG, 1.8 RPG, 1.6 APG, 1.4 TO/PG, 40.8 FG%, 29.5% 3FG.

Brandon rush commited September 2nd 2005. The semester had already started. The season started like a month and a half later. Lol. He was a late commitment to that team. Micah downs, another mcdonalds all american swing man, was pissed cause he entered the year thinking that spot was locked up to be his. He ended up getting beat out and transferring at semester

I've heard him say too many outlandish things where he completely forgot what happened a couple years back. So forgive me if I didn't see his sarcasm through text

That's probably a guy you want given ( supposedly ) his range.

Yes please.
Mgbako and Dickinson and call it a day. Lacking some in ball handling. Still a top ten team.

some rumor that ‘ville is “in the lead” since they hired Nolan Smith, who initially led the dookie recruitment

Also rumor is we're about to get Arterio Morris... Not thrilled about that

I’d guess the hesitation is regarding the assault case. Which I didn’t know much about. Not a fan of that happening.

Without the pending legal stuff this transfer is a home run; good size, great athlete, good defender.

It'll be interesting to see how Bill and staff plays this whole thing out; if Dickinson comes and so does one of Tyson, Spears, or Mgbako, then who transfers out? I assume Cuffe will be pushed out, but it could be one of the incoming freshman, or maybe Zuby could be looking for more playing time somewhere else.

Did you guys watch him play last year?
He's a point guard with a <1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
