What does season tickets cost, including the donation? You don't have to disclose that you are paying but what's the average price?

Adams
Udeh

Might as well put a lid on the rim.

What makes you think Wilson is gone? You know something I've not heard?

Offensively, they might be as bad as Iowa St though.

Don’t get me wrong, I want Hunter. And I think he’ll be a solid shooter next year. But I don’t want to see Adams anywhere near the starting lineup.

I think Wilson’s back. I’m just saying that lineup could be lockdown in stretches.

Let’s say we want to close out a game where our shots aren’t falling. That lineup could shut anyone down.

Not a starting lineup. Just for stretches.

Are we 100% that David isn't coming back

Everything I heard sounded pretty definitive.

With landing McCullar and possibly Hunter, I’d rather have Dave back than Wilson. Even though I think Wilson is the better player.

[Kiimo]

Well I complained all year that we didn't have enough bigs and then we won the championship so maybe it isn't as important as I assume but having Udeh be our only true big is very uh noteworthy

I can’t say I have any connections or inside information, but he’s looking great right now in all that pre-draft stuff. Getting good publicity there too. Would be nice if he stayed though.

You obviously can win it all without depth at bigs as KU just showed. But KU had a bracket that gave them favorable matchups. Not something you can always count on.

And Dave played well in the tournament and I don't really remember him being in foul trouble in a critical stretch.

Say if KU had played Zaga, or some other team with some burly bigs, and he had gotten in early foul trouble...

Yep got lucky. I like Clemons but he’s not going to be some kind of rim protector.

Neither is that freshman 6’8 “center” Zuby Ejiofor

Once he got invited to the combine it was unlikely he returned

Udeh is 6’10” with a 7’+ wingspan. Good athlete too.

He shows the most promise as a rim protector. Just seems really raw on offense.

Hopefully, he can just focus on defending, rebounding, and finishing bunnies for his first year.
