If we are fortunate, transfers, or extremely fortunate, some foreign guys with game. But, yeah, probably shitty jucos.

I'd say to balance out classes, it would be wise to get at least one JUCO or a transfer.

And I'd say given the players that are leaving, its likely at least one of the replacements is better, and probably both.

I'll wait to see the recruits, but I think it's likely that the replacements will be upgrades.

I would assume that we'll take a SG transfer and a JUCO big, and that both will be guys that oscar feels comfortable playing. Orris and Diaz were obviously not going to see the floor, so even if the new guys are equally inept at basketball, it won't be a net loss because they'll be here for the same amount of time that Orris and Diaz were going to be anyway. So...we're looking at a pretty low-risk move by Franking those two as long as we don't replace them with terrible freshman players.

Guys I'm 6'2, but I also went to K-State for 5 years. I'm not entirely sure this has anything to do with this thread but I'd like to add my mothers favorite movie is My Blue Heaven. Thanks everyone and go cats.

I think Orris was a no brainer.  When Angel and Irivng were missing games and oscar was like "eff it, Spradling is playing both guards" that pretty much said that Orris was never going to play.  Diaz is a little bit harder because it's plausible that we could replace him with somebody worse, but it'll probably be somebody at least as good.  Very low risk Brucing for the most part.  Neither of these guys (especially Orris) bother me like Anderson, Sutton, Russell, ect.

They almost have to be.  Neither Diaz nor Orris were going to be legit contributers.

Why did oscar run off Orris less than a year after he recruited him?

I think Omari has significantly more potential than Orris or Diaz combined.

I'd expect the guard to be better. I don't know about Diaz though. Decent bigs are much more difficult to find, we're going to have to get lucky. I'd be willing to bet that when we see the film of whatever big we find, we will give a collective meh.

Why did oscar run off Orris less than a year after he recruited him? 

I'm confused as to why he wasn't willing to be patient. It's hard for me to believe that what he saw in practice is drastically different from what he anticipated from Mike when he was evaluating him in recruiting. It kinda feels like he recruited and signed Orris for some reason other than why he should have been recruited and signed.

Why did he bring him to Manhattan in the first place?

Has to be this, it was almost like it was a favor. Especially Orris over Gray.

As for Diaz; when you are 6-10, it would seem to be difficult to rebound worse than he did (per 100 possessions), even in limited min%.

Did KSU fans/boosters make oscar recruit Orris?
