As for Wilson, he seems to have played himself into the first round and I'm not sure his stock could get much higher. But I don't see why it's a slam dunk for him either, other than the fact that he's apparently been itching to go pro for a few years.

I could actually see Dick returning before Wilson, even though he's projected higher. Dick could earn a few mil in NIL and could play his way into a no-doubt lottery pick, while soaking up another year at the school he dreamed of playing for and competing for a title.

Imagine if a couple of these guys returned and Self adds a few quality transfers. You'd probably be looking at preseason #1.

Is that true or hyperbole?

I'm not being snarky, honestly just curious.

I've heard it's possible he could get close to 2 mil. But who knows.

I’m not sure how much money has been thrown at KU basketball players so far, but here’s a few college football players from last year and what they made.

Bryce Young: $3.2 million
CJ Stroud: $2.5 million
Caleb Williams: $2.4 million
Jaxon Smith Njigba: $1.7 million
Bijan Robinson: $1.7 million

Reports are Jalen made between 700-900k this year and BIG DICK mushroomed to 400k

Gradey was a burger boy, so he wasn’t an unknown but he wasn’t established.

If he came back, the hype would be insane. He’d clean up.

He won’t, so I’m glad I got in my fair share of Dick jokes.

Matt Tait is really plugged in and he thinks there's about a 25% chance he comes back. He doesn't think it's the slam dunk that everyone assumes.

Of course, it all comes down to the feedback he gets. My guess is that he'll kill it in workouts and will probably leave, but who knows.

Dick declares.

I imagine Dick isn't just sticking the tip in, he's going balls deep.

Hunter Dickinson to the portal. That’s a big one.

Have barely watched him play but why isn't the nba interested? He can shoot and everything

[KC Hawks]

We need Dickinson to replace our Dick!!!

[smithandrew051]

If somehow KU could land Dickinson and bring McCullar back, that’d probably make us preseason number 1. Just get a shooter, and that’s a loaded roster.

With 2-3 starting jobs completely up for grabs, you’d think KU could land just about whoever they want. Especially with the success they’ve had with wings.

Dickinson might be harder to convince because they’re already crowded at the 5. He may not be able to get as many minutes as he wants.

I’ll be surprised if they don’t land a couple of the top wings/guards though.
