@TYOHawk And staff went opposite like they always do in over correcting. Griffin a shooter to now White who shot his career best 32% last year
Just get Williams and we will be good. I’d rather have Williams anyways as I’ve said
I think that is reasonable given he is a proven player in college.
I mean, from what you heard is it a done deal with Sarr, or just merely rumors to drum up hype/news?

Was pissed and then realized we got Darryn Peterson and Flory. I’m riding with my guys
Yea, I’m sure somebody else will pop up. The hard part is waiting!
-
@PharmacyHawk Thanks, but that’s why I rarely read the recruiting news, just like I don’t watch important game preview shows because 5 dudes pick one team and then the other one wins.
-
Let’s just hope that Dame Sarr will give Duke the same back and forth he’s given to KU, and flop back to us!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk The only way he would do that is if KU found another million dollars. If any of you are billionaires maybe you could even things up
-
@Jhawk69 That would be a fun waste of money (that I don’t have). But I’d be hard pressed to give millions to player salaries over a building; better for posterity.
-
@dylans But if you gave KU athletics enough recruiting money they might build you a statue.

Would rather go after Jamir Watkins than negotiate with this kid.

Heard some things on why he is still available… Will say…hard pass.

Let’s Boogie

I’d be totally down with Boogie on the roster. exciting player.
-
He doesn’t make sense to me for this roster.

Jeez. Picky. He makes sense on ANY roster.
-
Florida lean?
-
@dylans yes, but it’s not done yet
-
@TYOHawk Any reason for thinking that? I’ve seen loose reporting that he wants to stay in the draft honestly nothing that would make me believe it is a sure thing.
He is being mocked as a late 2nd round pick so unless he splashes at the combine or a bunch of prospects ahead of him drop out, he is slated to be making more money next year coming back to college. Maybe he is just ready to be done with college and bet on himself, but he has entertained offers to transfers which makes me think that isn’t the case.

BREAKING NEWS: Sarr goes KU after drgnslayr donates nipple pinchers!
But seriously, we’ve been down this path before. I remember when we lost Zion to Duke and the world ended. We went on to eventually winning another nattie while Duke has done nothing but disappoint fans with all-star rosters who can’t finish.
At some point I step back and leave it to the basketball Gods to influence the eventual outcomes and go to bed happy knowing we’ll be okay and we are scheduled for another nattie some day soon… still ahead of Duke. Hahaha. They looked so good this year!
-
@drgnslayr And somehow KU got punished for Zion’s recruitment, but Duke was of course completely in the clear.
-
Well with Sarr to Duke (anything but official atm) I guess we just hope Williams continues to do poorly at the combine, lol? His measurements/first game were not very good.
EDIT: I still really want the guy. He was absolutely fantastic last year.
-
No info but I wouldn’t bank on him either.

So Dame Sarr coming to KU is contingent upon Coward not going pro right? When do we anticipate knowing whether Coward will go to Duke or NBA?

I think the deadline to withdraw is June 15? So, other month of potential agony.

If true, that is effed up - we get Duke’s leftovers??? This process begs the question I posed much earlier in this thread. What is plan B if the high reward - high risk gamble of playing the draft withdrawal waiting game doesn’t play out??? Why not just focus on getting a complete starting line-up committed much earlier in the process, like most other top tier teams have done???
If we don’t get Sarr or Williams, what then? I like the guys we have, but its not close to a contending starting lineup now - we have no size, bulk or shooters on the roster now. I get trying to be smarter about good fits, and don’t have any problem with adding Council, Dawson and White, but we are at least one starter short right now, with no front court size or depth…
-
Very unlikely Cedric Coward withdraws. Late 1st to early 2nd round projections (25-35) pretty much across the board. Players in that range rarely withdraw.
I think we are more realistically waiting on Darrion Williams and Boogie Fland who are both at best mid 2nd picks with Williams not being drafted in several mocks.
Sarr absolutely has a higher long term ceiling over Darrion Williams, but Williams is the better player right now and if this is Self’s last season, Williams is the better option for one season.

Coward doesn’t sound too interested in college ball.
-
Yes, we got punished but we got another trophy. Like I said, leave it to the basketball Gods!
-
Picking early is what we did last year and it didn’t work out. I’m still optimistic this year will work out.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’d be thrilled to land Williams and Fland. Like you said Williams is better now. We need quality experience to go along with DP.

Heck yeah. That’s one of the best case scenarios!!!

KU won’t get both, but those are the two big names currently attached to KU. Williams is far more likely than Fland.
