Yea would love Mingo hopefully we can finish with him but gonna be tough since we aren’t offering the most money. Richardson seems to be a Bama lean right now but that could change if we get **** or McCoy. From everything **** is saying it seems like we are in the lead for him but like Mingo, if money is most important to him then we might not get him.

Taylor Bol Bowen is looking like a stud now that he’s filling out with muscle. He might be our best pure NBA prospect with his size, length and shooting ability.

I know when KU was trying to make a play for CHolt that he likely was staying in the southeast. If I was a kid I’d trust Oats over Pope.

And yeah that was the clip I was talking about with Bol Bowen. He looked way more fluid in that clip nh than he ever did at FSU.

@Flight Peterson gonna be enough to save Kansas? That roster looking a little then other than him and Bidunga

I think his family wants him at Bama but we’ll see. We should be good at wing regardless for this class.

Yea I’m excited to see TBB, he has a ton of upside if he shows he can start beating guys off the dribble. Stud defensively too with that length getting steals and blocks.

The reviews I heard about Darryn bro…you wouldn’t believe. Fran Fraschilla said they were having a scrimmage the other week and this kid made 8 straight threes with the defense contesting.

I think adding Rosario and Mbiya in May/June was enough to make us a respectable second weekend team. But the ceiling can be higher if Elmarko or Council can hold down that second guard spot.

Yea he seems like one of those tough combo guards that Houston always has. Wouldn’t mind him but hopefully we can finish with Mingo and CHolt or Richardson.
