Yeah, problem is sponsorship. Would think they could negotiate out the need to use Adidas balls but that’s the deal

Kansas does it. Figure it out.

Odd, no mention of Justin Monden is he really that bad ie can't say something nice don't say nothing at all.

Also does anyone know when Clemens Sokolof is supposed to arrive? He is missing valuable practice time.

Liked Rab’a writeups on Harris and Lindsay in particular as encouraging

so, with the new NCAA five in five rule, are Sam or Lamar, or both eligible to come back for a year

Sam Alexis would be such a great low cost fit for the current roster.

He would. But I think I’d get on my knees and beg any billionaire booster that would listen for the money to bring back Wilkerson in a scenario where both were eligible. A Wilkerson / Burton back court with that front court would actually have me dreaming of an E8 or better showing.

Lamar wouldn’t be. He was a year out of high school before he played a year of Juco, 3 at SHSU and his year at IU. So he’s 6 years out of HS. Alexis probably would have a year. He played 4 straight years after HS,

We brought in Darren Harris specifically to fill the Lamar role. Ain’t no way we’re bringing in a wing shooter at this point even if we could.

I did not read the final version but thought it was not open to kids who eligibility expired already in 26

You may well be right. I haven’t looked closely at all. Just purely from 5 in 5 plain language only,  Alexis has played 4.

The ruling does not include players who used their eligibility up last season.

Question, Osterman says that Sokolov isn't with the team yet but at my son's DD basketball camp there was a good size kid signing autographs on the last day and I assumed it was CS and now that I look at pictures online it wasn't him.  This kid is thinner, any ideas who that is?
