UNC Friends are you okay?
- Thread starter ThePhog08
- Start date
We're still waiting for UNC to release a statement about possibly playing in the CBI Tournament. They feel like they have a legit chance to win it and might give it a go.
You guys lose Love and you're back in the tourney.
Call me crazy , I would love KU to land Puff. He would be a great bench guy and hard worker. Seems like bill self kid
My dream KU roster next year
Ernest Udeh ( improved, shot block, rim runner, post moves , big leap)
Harrison Ingram ( can he be a 2021-2022 Jalen Wilson)
Spencer Jones ( 3 pt sniper)
Elmarko Jackson
Dejuan Harris (continue to improve jumper)
KJ Adams - Utility guy getting 20 MPG at the 5,4, and 3 spots
Puff Johnson - Filling in the mitch lightfoot role, hustle, do everything
Mid Major PG ( someone like a Tyson walker, who averaged 16-20 at a MM school, play the remy role)
Zuby
Chris Johnson
Jamari McDowell

It’s funny cause I see a lot of people saying “now we just need love back.” Like wtf games were these people watching?
You didn't expect a lottery pick to leave?
🤦🏾♂️
Idk, I never really thought of him going THAT high in the draft. He didn't scream "one & done" to me when I watched him. But yeah, I get it...
He is top 10 on lots of boards. I mean I would love for him to come back.
Smart move. He is making a lot of money and wasn't going to be drafted. He has been great with NIL and apparently a really smart guy money wise so is probably setting himself up nicely for after college.
Kansas is snatching Stanford's two best players? Any rumors to that? Stanford did announce that Haase would be returning, so I wouldn't expect a mass exodus.
I'd like to see Udeh grab the starting spot, but from what I'm hearing, they don't think that KJ is likely to play many minutes anywhere but the 5. Seems like strange roster construction to have three solid prospects that only play the 5, especially when the current starter is 6'7 and doesn't rebound well.
If the season started today, I wouldn't be very optimistic, but it sounds like they're planning to add around three transfers. And they should be able to basically pick who they want. Not too many recruits are going to turn down guaranteed starter minutes at KU. Need to find a couple shooters or next year has the potential to be one of the worst shooting teams KU's had in a while.
So, UNC loses Leaky Black and Pete Nance to graduation. Tyler Nickel, Puff Johnson, Dontrez Styles, and Justin McKoy enter the portal. Let's say Caleb Love leaves, as well.
What would the projected starting 5 look like? This is probably off, so let me know who I'm missing...
RJ Davis
Seth Trimble
D'Marco Dunn
Jalen Washington
Armando Bacot
Odds are they'll probably get a talented transfer that starts right away. But, I'm thinking that might be the best 5 right now, provided Love doesn't return.

What I hear from a buddy who knows the staff is they see KJ asa super 6 man next year until his handles and jumper improve. He can't play the 5 long term and the envision the 4 spot as a Svi, jackson, jalen type.

He made huge strides this year and did well in his role, but yeah, he's not your ideal starting center. Hopefully he can develop into a solid 4 but he's got a ways to go.
More like worms due to him looking like the character from the game.
I'll stop.
This is gonna be a long weekend.
As long as Caleb Love doesn't identify as a cricket, we good.
Manek is reaching out. We Goin to the ship yo. We goin to the ship yo.
That will definitely not be the five IMO.
More like...

IDK though. I can't believe anyone stayed who isn't going to be a starter but glad they did. Washington can be really good but playing him with Bacot would be a disaster IMO. Trimble would struggle playing alongside RJ either so IDK.
Hubert is only 1 of 4 with the portal though so he needs to improve on that a ton.
