I mean Marcus Adams bounced from UCLA already I could see him be on the move again

I hope not though

Adams was never committed to UCLA. They were the perceived favorites to land him since he had visited 3 days before his announcement and being an LA kid but think we upped the NIL at the last minute.

I don’t see him cracking the rotation at all this year. Id be a little surprised if he even had much of a role the following year.

He’s not the type of player who should expect to get minutes at KU as a freshman though.

[Prison Bitch]

I’m ready to cut him now





Chris Johnson saw his stock fall after a rough senior season at Montverde Academy. He dropped two points from a 94 rating to a 92 rating. He went from the No. 43-ranked prospect to the No. 71-ranked prospect nationally. He’s viewed as the No. 11-ranked combo guard in the class and No. 6-ranked senior in Texas.

Udeh to the portal. That sucks.

It was still the right call to get Dickinson, but our depth for our bigs got worse today. Could’ve been a major strength to bring that guy off the bench.

Yikes that's not great. Surprising


So if Mgbako doesn't commit we have three open scholarships. I didn't see that coming.

[Pablo]

****. Really sucks but in Bill I trust

[Kiimo]

Doesn't the portal close tomorrow night?

I assume he has someone lined up but sounds like he has 24 hours to find a team



edit: no that deadline is just for ENTERING you name in the portal there's still a month

[Prison Bitch]

That sucks but he prob got info we get the guy tomorrow

The portal helps us way more than it hurts so, it is what it is

[Kiimo]

Who is our backup center now? KJ? lol

He was our starting center last year, so that’s not too crazy.

We literally had 1 center and Mitch Lightfoot when we won it all.

If we land Mgbako, we’re still loaded. Bill can absolutely play small ball with guys like Marcus Adams and Mgbako at the 3/4 if KJ is in at center.

That blows. Udeh is going to be ****ing good.

[KC_Connection]

Big loss but understandable from his perspective. Need to add a defensive big now.

I guess I don't really understand why people think he's going to be amazing. He has no shooting or offensive ability other than dunking lobs. He will be a nice player for defense and rebounds, but if you need a guy who can rim protect and dunk lobs, there will always be plenty of guys who can do that every year in the portal. It hurts our depth possibly this year, but I find it hard to believe next year we can't recruit another guy out of the portal who will match Jr year Udeh unless he has an absolutely unprecedented rise on offense which we have no reason to believe will happen.
