Player and Recruit Retention News/Discussion & Potential Transfers

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 9,330]

Idc what those stats are about guys 6'8. Kansas plays as small as anyone.

Are Vick and Newman pro prospects? Don’t see them in the top 60 on any mock drafts. That fares well with Romeo.

Neither is considered a first round prospect according to mock drafts that have been done by espn and nbadraft.net as of right now.

They both have a few years of eligibility left. Add them, the two incoming recruits and the Lawson bros I don't see how everyone is happy there. 

[HoosierFan1994 4,754]

I'll add this too: Bill Self really hasn't had too many one and dones. Wiggins, Embiid, and Josh Jackson. Seems like he has had a lot of busts. Josh Selby, Xavier Henry, Diallo, etc... He takes chances on guys like Thomas Robinson who are role players at first and then develop into All-Americans. It works, just I think it hurts their case with Romeo.

Next years Kansas roster with them only losing Graham and Mykhailiuk because they are seniors and nobody else is viewed as a first rounder at this point would look like this.

Sr. Vick SG

Jr. Azubuike C, Lighfoot F, Newman G, Cunliffe SG, Lawson G, Lawson F, 

So. Garrett G, Moore PG, De Sousa F

Fr. Dotson PG, Grimes SG, McCormack C, Agbaji SG

Someone is guaranteed to leave because they are already over signed by one. Even if Vick and Newman both left that would still be a lot of guys that would be wanting the basketball imo. I don't think that would benefit Romeo at all.

Wonder if Newman and Azuibuke leave. Those are my guesses.

I was looking into that just last night and thought the same thing to myself. Also, listening to Matt Jones on his radio show this morning. He is saying something isn’t right at Vandy bc of obvious reasons. Thought that was kinda funny as well

Azuibuke wouldn't make any sense imo. He is a center in a draft that I loaded with bigs. Next year he could be a guaranteed first rounder this year he would be lucky to get drafted but who knows.

Had a sincere conversation with UofL educated Kentucky fans a few weeks back. Respectfully asked them if they truly believed Cal was clean. They all emphatically replied yes. Even despite the violations at Umass and Memphis? Yes. Even despite the absurd recruiting classes? Yes. Even despite the current FBI investigation where everyone landing 5 stars is implicated? Yes.

Cal doesn’t need to cheat they said. I had to walk away.

I mean, group thought. When enough people seek the same irrational thought it becomes rational. I think that's what you're getting at. Does he cheat?

 

Your instincts aren't off...

Hear you. It was just surprising seeing that they sincerely did believe what they were saying. Gotta love the human mind.

Confirmation bias in a way..and it happens here too :)

If Vick and/or Newman stay I think Romeo would be absurd to go to KU. With one of those guys, a Lawson, Moore, Grimes, and Dotson all commanding touches from the guard position, there’s no way they’d all be happy. Hell if they both stay there’s a chance Romeo wouldn’t even start! I know he would and all but thered be some unhappy egos if Vick or Grimes is coming off the bench.
