I’d also hope we’re all over Kobe Brea if someone else leaves. He shot 50% (on 6 attempts per game!!!) from 3 last year. He also wasn’t a starter at Dayton, so I’d think he’d be fine just being a part of the rotation.
He fell just short of a 50/50/90 shooting split last year. Insane. [Reply]

If we are having to pick between the two, I think I'd rather have Brea to be honest. [Reply]

Sadly, I don’t see any of those guys (except maybe Agbaji because he’s a Kansas kid) sticking around in today’s game.
They’d all be recruited over through the portal and probably leave after a year of not getting enough playing time.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the way things are now. Bill Self has always done best with a team that has a lot of upperclassmen that have been in the system multiple years. Sure, he can have a transfer and some younger players but it's the upperclassmen that really make it work. [Reply]

Thats confirmed info? Just got 1 more to give up? [Reply]
It seems like a scholarship is much reduced in value/incentive when it comes to recruiting. The really good players can make so much in NIL that paying their own tuition would be no big deal. Scholarship limits become less and less of a barrier if you're a big money program. [Reply]
