Can we play with 4*-5* point guards at all 5 positions?  Maybe we should just fill the entire bench with those?

Bill hiked the ball to a running back.  Seems like this might be worth a shot.  The basketball Wildcat.  Let's just take them all.

Maybe having every single good PG in the entire nation would starve all other teams, then those teams would fail due to no ability to handle the ball.

We should look in to this.

We can’t get much worse at rebounding, might as well!

Yeah, rumors about Anthony Thomas and apparently he wasn't at the team crawfish boil yesterday, whatever that's worth.

Think opening up that 4th spot is huge with this team.

Would be amazing to get Abmas and Perry, then I'd like to see maybe Jaylon Tyson and an athletic 5 (Sisse the only option?)

They might not rush in to filling that big spot until the draft withdraw deadline has passed

The 60 day window to enter the portal doesn’t close until May 11th so we have a ways to go before the known entities are final anyway.  Agree they likely won’t fill all 4 spots very soon.

Probably never will happen and don't think I've ever heard anything, but got to think if any of the old Link Academy guys hit the portal, we'd have a shot?

Julian Phillips - 6'7 SF @ Tennessee - 5 Star, #15 overall recruit in class of 22
Tarris Reed - 6'10 Center @ Michigan - 4 Star, #35 overall recruit in class of 22
Felix Okpara - 6'11 Center @ Ohio State - 4 Star, #74 overall recruit in class of 22

Don't think the bigs fit what Tang wants to do, but you take Phillips the second he showed interest.

Are we 1000% sure Keyontae isn't coming back....? Heard nothing from anyone about him one way or another.

Nope. He hasn't announced his intention yet and the entry deadline is on Sunday

Seems like we’re trending up on both Abmas and Perry right now, I just don’t see anyway we take both.

If we don’t get either, that would suuck, though.



Appears down to us and Texas for Abmas. Probably depends on how the Texas visit goes. They prob have the upper hand having the last visit.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

Key would feast as the true go-to guy. Need shooters around him tho.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Am I reading too much into this tweet or is the word "together" doing some real heavy lifting here?

Tang has even said a lot of the best players who will be in the portal will be there late.

I want so hard to hope he comes back. But as a senior it is my understanding he does not have to declare, so probably not worth reading into

How much could he improve his draft stock if he stayed another year and showed progress?

I always felt like his ball handling could use some improvement, but otherwise.....
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

None, maybe negative amounts.  He’s like 30 years old and the things counting against him he can’t do anything about.

i believe KJ is more valuable to KSU than any other league in the USA and would hope we could put a NIL deal together that makes that so.  However he is probably at least a mid six figure guy overseas and i don't know if we have that kind of bag.

I haven’t been able to find a mock that doesn’t have him going in the second round of the draft.
