Rivals has us so far as the #48 ranked recruiting class with 2 4 stars. No one wants to touch us till they see what's going to happen from the fallout. I'm not a "sky is falling" fan, but this feels like Camelot starting to crumble. :-)
While I think it may have an impact, I think the bigger issue is we don’t have any room. If De Sousa gets cleared, you basically know the starting lineup next year is Dotson, Grimes, Garrett/agbaji, De Sousa, Doke. Mac, lightfoot as the back up bigs. Going in to the year you would have assumed we would be replacing Doke, Grimes, maybe Dotson, and Lawson. Now it’s just Lawson, and even he isn’t holding that good of a draft position. Not many top players would line up to play for a team with this much uncertainty in playing time. [Reply]

True dat. Don't see the top tier talent coming here.
We are coming off a final 4 appearance and this teams talent is the best we could do? [Reply]

Hey. Threes are lucky. If they make them luck. Fools gold and such. [Reply]

KU wasn't any good with them together (eventually luck runs out and you stop winning every single close game). KU wasn't any good without them together. KU wasn't any good period. [Reply]
