Not sure what you’re basing this on. It makes sense to go through the process but his dad has all but said he won’t stay in. I’ll be surprised if he’s not playing for KU this year.
If Agbaji and Wilson return, this roster will include players who averaged 19, 14, 13, 13, 12, and 10 ppg last year. Not to mention that Yesufu averaged 23/game down the stretch when he became the starter, McCormack averaged something like 17/game over the last two thirds, and Martin had a stretch of averaging around 25/game near the end of the year.
If Agbaji, Braun and Wilson improve their shooting even a little, this team will be unstoppable offensively.
Defensively? I don’t know. Dave will likely never be the rim protector or overall defender we wish he could be, and the guards’ size may limit them a bit in that regard, but Self teams are always at least decent defensively. [Reply]
Am confused with the idea that he wouldn’t show up on campus. If he wanted to go pro, he’d be doing it right now and not going through the transfer portal. His draft stock almost certainly won’t be any better in the 2022 draft a year from now after a 5th year (and it 100% won’t be better if he doesn’t show up on campus).
Maybe, just maybe, he just wants to play college basketball for one more year and do it at a highly visible place he can win a national championship. [Reply]
We should have much more scoring pop from our ball handlers this year. Yesufu and Martin can really light it up. If he shows up, you gotta thinks Remy Martin is penciled in at the 1. Self loves playing 2 point guards, so Harris and Martin might be a good combo. Kinda like Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers. McCormack obviously starts at the 5.
The 3 and 4 are interesting. If Wilson comes back, he starts at the 4. Braun probably at the 3 (even though many here will hate that).
Wilson could also start at the 3. Maybe KJ Adams or Zach Clemence can start alongside him.
I’d be really interested in Wilson at the 3 and Cam Martin at the 4.
Really going to be an interesting year. I bet we cycle through several starting lineups by the time conference play rolls around. [Reply]

Quotes from his dad.
Also strange that the ASU coach didn't even leave a spot for him, at all. He must not think he's coming back either.
I would be ecstatic if he came to KU, he's a bucket getter. He's like a more polished version of Yesefu. [Reply]
