Bottom line what I'm saying is you don't know the circumstances of Bragg leaving are tied to their confidence in landing Juiston. You don't know this, I don't know this. Certainly recruiting is tied to roster situations at some level, but not at a level we know the details on, like some are proclaiming. Conjecture on OUR part.

Why? It would spread out our scholarships and avoid something like we had this year, which does have its pros and cons.
Wigginton, McNeill
Long
Babb, Edwards
Jackson, Brown
Balancing the scholarships is way overrated. Get the best available period.
The reason I say Edwards and Brown is unlikely is the same reasoning on why Juiston may pass on KU. Transfers want to start Brown wigginton Jackson would be a tough lineup to crack.
If Edwards comes great but he may prefer a different opinion if everything falls our way.
It's nice to have some balance, but with Jackson as our only SR, we would have to take 3-4 grad transfer guys before it would be unbalanced.
I agree get the best available. You already took 3 (4 with Lard) HS kids in this class.
Whatever combination of Juco/transfers you take from here out shouldn't get us that top heavy.
With Jeremiah Tilmon asking to be released from his Illinois LOI, Illinois is going to go full press after Juiston...guy is getting some high level attention.
Did Underwood keep some of the assistants from previous staff? That could keep them in the race at least some.
6'7", high motor, good rebounder, can't shoot outside 8 feet. They basically just described Jamari Traylor.
Sure. I dont really care where he goes. I am sure Self will find someone who will be able to give us what we need. Juiston isnt the only PF available in the sport.
Unfortunately he did, my mistake. Walker was retained. Former player and assistant for Juiston's current coach. Martin at MU made a run to get Walker (likely for Tillmon). That would have been nice.
Except Jamari Traylor had zero skills with the basketball and a terrible IQ.
And averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds per game in his career. Juiston will trump that wherever he goes
31 wins, winning the toughest top to bottom conference in America by 4 games and an Elite Eight is "less"? Yowsa.
When I think of guys like Bragg and Alexander, or the countless other four and five stars, I definitely think of turning straw into gold.
Hopefully Juiston doesn't sign up for the KU big man curse.
