I like how we are somewhat like the 2000's "spurs" of college basketball. We play team ball and we don't get three or more 5 stars every recruiting class like Duke or Kentucky. So when we do get them, it's kind of special. No matter how many 5 stars we have, the results are always the same at the end of the year. A whole lot of wins.
Derek you’re the best, never miss a show even the football ones and I’m not necessarily a KU football fan.. but am a die hard basketball fan.. you do great work!! God bless
Seems like for the '25 / '26 season a backup "3" and "4". Biggest Need for '25/'26 still seems to be a STARTING "4". Seemed like KU was headed toward getting a Bry. Tiller commitment, and then when got Calderon, like the SAME DAY, Tiller pushed out his Decision Date Indefinitely (prev. was set for some time in mid-Nov.). :(
Yep but next years newcomers as well as likely returners, I really like our potential lineup. Peterson, Calderon, Jamari, elmarko, flory, rakease, Rylan, possibly AJ and likely the 7 foot number 1 center in the class, mouhamed sylla
Nice to at least have 3 Redshirting that well could contribute in Elm. Jackson, Shelby & McDowell. Depth Chart Currently - "1" - Elm. Jackson, R.S. Soph. / No. Shelby, Jr. "2" - D. Peterson, Fr. / McDowell, R.S. Soph. "3" - Ry. Griffen, Sr. / R. Passmore, Soph. "4" - FOR NOW - S. Calderon, Fr. "5" - Fl. Bidunga, Soph. / Z. Clemence, R.S. Sr. Team DESPERATELY needs another "4" or "5"!!!! Reibe was arguably the PERFECT FIT. Bryson Tiller wasn't a bad fall-back....but now he's Questionable! Ugh.
Yeah. The roster’s gonna be fine. I did not mean to insinuate that the roster will be barebones or in bad shape; though it may not quite be ‘as proven’ as this year’s roster. Elmarko and Jamari I’m excited about, and I also think Zach is a good ball player who hasn’t had a chance to get comfortable. AJ could return next year. With a year in Self’s system and with Hunter gone, he could see an opportunity to shine.
Derek, I have to give you credit for putting out so many episodes, so quickly. Good work, sir.

You get it!

I’d like to see Kansas bring in a freshman or transfer big.
These type of commits always tend to work out well for KU. I love ❤️ it!!!

Is this the last year we see COVID extra year guys?
Yes.
Kansas is obtaining a lot of talent. They're also losing a lot of talent: Juan, KJ, Hunter, David, Shak, Zeke all have to leave the program.

He will reload through the portal to complement the kids coming in and currently on the roster.

AJ and Calderon could fill that big wing 4 spot. If AJ takes off, then Self and staff will bring in a transfer big wing to have with Calderon.
