Good for him. Great, kid. Tonof upside. Not sure if tht means lottery----But still----great ceiling.I don’t really follow that stuff but people on the home board have posted 2 mocks in recent weeks with him as a lottery pick, including ESPN.

Ivey is a projected lotto pick?
Lol omg I forgot Watson!Fredrick alongside 4 bad shooters? That could be an interesting mix. Could be wrong, but I feel like Grady and Ty Ty will lead the team in scoring. Those two are likely to start, IMO.
Pretty filthy 10-man rotation. Did Anton Watson leave the program, though?
I legitimately would’ve guessed Lightfoot was a 7th year senior, like, two years ago
Nothing official, but it’s looking like KU’s roster is set.
Martin/Harris/Pettiford
Yesufu/JCL/Cuffe
Agbaji/Braun
Wilson/Clemence/Adams
McCormack/Martin/Lightfoot
Only thing missing is a reliable rim protector, but it should be a good year regardless. Plenty of talent and experience. When Martin subs for McCormack, they’ll be able to put 5 shooters on the floor. Nice change of pace from a team that usually had 1-2.

If only. He’s not even the oldest player on the team.I legitimately would’ve guessed Lightfoot was a 7th year senior, like, two years ago
Lander did enter the portal. But announced in early May he was returning to Indiana.I thought Lander from IU entered the transfer portal?
also i thought Mintz had already decided hes going pro regardless if he has a chance to get drafted or not? Carlik jones made that exact same decision.
Everyone else must’ve been worried about their backboards!Lander did enter the portal. But announced in early May he was returning to Indiana.
Doubtful....He rarely hit the backboard.. 🤣Everyone else must’ve been worried about their backboards!
JFC....4th school in 6 years. What is he---25? I guess the good side is, he has averaged double figures at 3 different, D1, P5 schoolsI see KU’s rotation as

Jalen Coleman-Lands
I remember as a recruit Beilein was after him hard. Don’t remember if we led at any point or not but Beilein ended up taking a pledge from Duncan Robinson and no longer recruiting Coleman. The homeboard had a near riot over that. Duncan Robinson just finished his third season in the NBA, makes it really feel like ancient history.JFC....4th school in 6 years. What is he---25?

10ppg as a frosh at Illinois..
11ppg at DePaul
14ppg at Iowa State...
Tell ya what----thats a future trivia question, answer....
The biggest question mark right now is whether Trey Murphy III stays in the draft or not. If he comes back, we should be very good. If he doesn't, we'll be okay with the potential to be good. At this point, I expect him to stay in the draft.
Starters
Kihei Clark (SR)
Reece Beekman (SO)
Armaan Franklin (JR)
Trey Murphy III (SR)
Jayden Gardner (SR)
Bench
Kody Stattman (SR)
Carson McCorkle (SO)
Igor Milicic Jr (FR)
Taine Murray (FR)
Kadin Shedrick (R-SO)
Francisco Caffaro (R-JR)
If Murphy leaves, expect Shedrick to start. Watch out for Taine Murray and Igor Milicic though. Tony's been targeting international guys who have experience playing against grown men.
Locke starting SG?Best guess for louisville
El Ellis
Dre davis/west
Sam williamson
Jaylen Withers
malik Williams (hopefully he can stay healthy a year, but he hasnt been able to in a few years)
we have roosevelt wheeler coming in as a big man as well, i know he was a 5 star at one poiint but tore his achilles his senior uear so hard to gauge what to expect of him.
Also excited to see Matt Cross from miami as he can supposedly light it up from deep.
Maybe? I have no clue. Probably be between Locke and west and not dre the more i thibk about it. Plus dre can basically back up the 2-4 hes so thick/stout. Like alot of teams we have so many people ive never seen play before hard to project.Locke starting SG?
AlabamaKansas
C - Dave McCormack
F - Jalen Wilson
G - Christian Braun or Coleman-Lands

Ochai may come back
Adams > Shaka > BeardTexas Tech has a sneaky good roster now.
I've heard that Beard was desperate to bring Adams with him and very butthurt when he didn't follow him. Apparently he told him "I don't know why you're holding out for the head coach job--they won't give it to you." Adams has a major chip on his shoulder now. The games with Texas could get interesting...
