Alright fine, I'll take my 1st weekend exit glasses off. Now, I see your point.
I actually think the real indictment of the staff is they haven’t evaluated talent well enough in the NIL era.
Gone after big names instead of grinding the tape.
Yeah, this I agree with. They did a better job of it this last offseason. Melvin and Tre were hits, especially Melvin for what Bill loves but you wish he could have shot it a bit better. JD was the big miss. He got starter money to rack DNPs. That one really stung because they really could have used the shooting he offered. A big part of why things fell apart is because teams could blitz Darryn on ball screens because there was typically at most one other player out there that the defense had to truly respect from three point range. I can't really say any of those were lazy takes just going after names.
Dusty May is someone who has done an incredible job. Yaxel was obvious but none of their other portal additions were when you looked at most transfer ranking lists from last offseason.

I come to you with more names...
Roberts Blums and Braden Frager
Blume is an absolute flamethrower. Frager is a really, really good player but I’d think it would take a small mountain of cash to get him away from Lincoln. He’s from there and Nubs seems like they’re ascending.
-
My guess is Frager is an option B if we don't get Stokes. With the money we would save from not paying stokes I am sure we could afford Frager if we really wanted him.

Seeing Flory is entering the portal. Peace out y'all

He also declared for the draft which is not uncommon for players to also enter the portal in those situations.
-
Big market is so ridiculous that flory might make 5 million on the open market
-
Was curious about his NBA comps...
In terms of NBA comparison for Bidunga, two clear names that he shares similarities with are Clint Capela and Adem Bona. All three of them possess extremely similar skill sets and physical gifts. In particular, each of them is undersized for their position, but possesses great athleticism and physical tools. Offensively, they all are elite rim-runners and lob threats who thrive in transition, but can’t do much else. On defense, they utilize their athleticism and length to be great rim protectors and rebounders.

@rockchalkjayhawk Robert Williams

We aren't finding a better center than flory but the money he's asking for is ridiculous and this song and dance is exhausting

This is what I’ve been saying for the past 2 years times 1000
-
My inside sources are telling me no mater what Flory will not be in a Jayhawk uniform next season. I’d bet he stays in the draft, I think he needs another year but I could see him going late round 1 with a good combine.
-
He’s going to Duke is the early word.
-
Our future "key to success" is to develop players well within a season and get them to perform well in March. If we just count on recruiting or keeping big talent, it gets too expensive to build an entire team like that.
-
I believe that all players - basketball, football, baseball, field hockey, ice dancers, water poloists, etc.. should be paid a minimum of 10 billion dollars per semester and can only stay at one school for a maximum of one semester.

@nuleafjhawk shakespearian actors?
-
@approxinfinity that's a good analysis. Rigglle is bonkers.
America! Where you have the right to be wrong.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 Wouldn't be surprised if Bill is just done dealing with his guardian. Will be telling if the first portal visitor is a big man.
-
@nuleafjhawk I meant player types that need to get paid. If only we funded art.
-
I take that back, immediately. Dont fund art. It would suck all the joy out of it.
