Rj Luis, Jamir Watkins are the only potential gamechanger that is unknown from college That is a free agent… Luis to Kansas is likely the only possibility of Kansas not have its worst preseason expectations is decades
interesting is the international player decision (not sure if they are subject to the ncaa deadline… i think they are, since they want to join- nba’s own deadline is not for 2 weeks)
Ben Henshall (ttech recruiting hard))
Neoklis Avdalas (Baylor has been on him for a while… Kansas recently reported selling out hard on him after missing out on everyone they originally wanted)
I heard Parker Ainsworth make a legitimate point today.
Were it not for NIL, Milos wouldn’t be back.
In the pre-NIL era, a player like Uzan would definitely be gone; if he didn’t get drafted, then he’d be off the play overseas. Thanks to NIL, he can come back to UH.
So for all its faults and flaws…today’s NIL world does make certain things, like next year’s UH team, better in a way that would probably not have been possible not too long ago.
That said…if only we had enough sugar daddies to do the same for football.
but a counter point to that is it woork in our favor this time … could have easily worked against us…
no offense to pop, but he was a terrible defender, injury prone, turnover proone, ooff the field issues … and while he had great shooting percentages at Creighton it was only 8 games… heis last full season were horrendous level efficiency… pop had a lot of pros too… and im saying this kowing he could easily be here next year if he geta medical redshirt… but he wasnt exactly the best position
milos put up 20 in the final 4 or the combine scrimmage and he is likely gone … and we are reliant on pop
without NIL… dedan thoonas wouldnt touch LSU, Donovan dent wouldnt go to a UCLA where the coach is at risk of being fired, jalande lowe whos from houston, who desperately looking to increase his stock would have gone to a rebuilding UK team (They are stacked now from all the nil gets)… note all 3 got an absurd NIL deal
remove NIL… we lose uzan … but likely have our choice of dedan, dent and lowe… which isnt a bad place to be in
