100% that should be a focus of any LM or even MM. If they are gonna complain about their best guys being taken, they should do the same to the lower level.

The one big issue I think is low major schools without graduate programs. Tough scene.

And also there is still the effect of the COVID year on scholarship numbers. There are just more players around and will continue to be until the 2020 HS class is graduated

There should be a guy who starts in NAIA and moves up every year until heā€™s the best player on Kansas as a fifth year senior

I was wondering this the other day. It is the 2020 class right? After theyā€™re gone weā€™ll have no more covid years?

You mean the JCL award winner?

(Oh wait no the JCL Award goes to the guy that transferred up/down at least three times)

Watching this KU/KSU game I canā€™t help but think about the team building approaches here

Self has for some time now just nailed the ā€œteam full of guys who go pro after their junior yearā€ approach - Wilson, KJ Adams, DeJuan Harris, supplemented by a senior transfer (McCullar) with a slew of solid freshman doing apprenticeship (they have Gradey (filter wonā€™t allow me to say his last name so I will call him Gradey Richard) too, but Iā€™m not sure if heā€™s a first rounder after this year?)

KSU really just a portal team (Nowell was there last year but had played three years at Little Rock prior)

Iā€™ve been following/watching Matthew Cleveland for the last few monthsā€¦ Mostly because he has been on a prize picks roll for me. Im upset we didnt get him to Ann Arbor. He is a bucket and is a dog getting to the basketball. I believe he has something like 8 double doubles in a row. His length is a problem, has good handles. Not sure where he falls in Mocks but he has next level written all over him.

I noticed Stanford is winless in the Pac 12 Jerod Hasse has to be on thin ice right??? 7 seasons probably no NCAA tournaments.

It doesnā€™t quite seem right that you can win the Directorā€™s Cup while being very bad in the two sports most people care about.

Jalen Wilson looks like he stole Max Bielefeldā€™s legs. Either that or his leggings are actually sweats. When did he start doing squats?

Grady D has a bit of Danny Ainge-face. I know one of yā€™all coached him in H.S. or AAU, so sorry about that.

Keyontae Johnson is just a marble statue of a physique

We need a transfer portal splash at PF next year. Watching Jalen Wilson and Keyontae Johnson makes me jealous

Every Big 12 game seems to feature 60 combined free throws. If this is the alternative to the Big Ten beat-em-up then Iā€™ll stick with that.

Anyone watching the San Jose St vs New Mexico game? They have Tim Miles and Richard Pitino mic-ed up and the camera on them, and they are having fun! Pretty cool.

That Kansas/K State game was really entertaining
