If he can’t…well I’m not liking our chances in 2025-2026.

Bidunga is at a blue blood program, probably getting paid plenty, and is an obvious starter next year alongside a likely top 3 NBA draft pick.

If he leaves THAT to go to another school, we have big problems.

He and his handlers are likely well aware he should have been playing 30 minutes a game for this KU team for most of the season given how good he got. Probably not all that unsurprising there could be some feelings about it (personally I was surprised he even stuck with his decision to come here in the first place given it was obvious that HD and KJ had those starting spots on lock; if he wanted a guaranteed spot, this was never gonna be the place for that).

If a player as raw as Johnny Furphy was in his time at KU can go to the league after one year, you can guarantee that’s a possibility for Flory too.

Furphy was in all the mocks in Rd 1.....

IF Flory does transfer, and that's a big IF (imo) this program will be even worse next year.

Agreed with that....
I dont see Flory going the NBA draft route....
He isnt ready and the mocks reflect that.
Transferring is a whole different real possibility.

I'd love to see Flory with another year in college, at KU, preferably. LMAO

If he can get a little mid-range game going, man, this kid is going to be solid in the league.

He knows he should have been on the court way more time than he was given. All of the fans and I'm sure his teammates knew he should have been playing more.

If I was him I'd leave. How can he think this is the best place for me?

I suspect NIL money may play a factor on what he decides to do....

Why do people want Bethea so bad and want to get rid of Elmarko?

Elmarko also a former 5 star. One year older and knows the system. Im absolutely fine giving him a shot.

I don’t think anyone is pounding the table for Bethea.

I’d just think KU would have interest since they recruited him out of high school. We saw something similar with Malik Newman.

If they get him, great. If they don’t, that’s fine.

Either way, Elmarko would have major question marks coming off an injury and not being too impressive the year he did play.

Does Devonte Graham or Frank Mason have a younger brother or clone?

We need a point guard with balls again.

Ceej 03-23-2025 05:27 PM

Obviously the landscape will change in the upcoming weeks, but anyone with a list of players already transferring or potential transfers they'd like to see at KU?

Your Elmarko love doesn’t add up. He was terrible last year in basically every respect and a horrible shooter.

Doesn’t mean he will be bad going forward but there’s no reason to bank on him contributing.

He will become a good shooter.

He's athletic.

Can get to the rim. Talented.

Yes he did suck his first year but I can see him being much much better two years later.

I don't think he's even considering going to the draft. What I have heard is that he's listening to offers from other teams. But it sounds like he'll probably be back.
