There is a myth that Embiid was this raw project when he came to Kansas. Now maybe hew as supposed to be that but he was good from day 1.

He probably was pretty raw when he came to Kansas.

He’s a unicorn though and doesn’t have the same learning curve as normal humans.

I think he’s just such a natural basketball talent that he progressed ridiculously quickly at a major program with top tier coaches.

I kept trying to explain to people here that KU had a player better than Wiggins on their roster that year but nobody ever seemed convinced. Unfortunately for the Cavs, their GM apparently wasn’t convinced either.

The injuries were a legit concern though. He lost the first several years of his pro career.

I'm feeling pretty good about our roster for next year as long as we get another legit shooter. Getting the FAU guy would be insane, but doubtful we get him. McNeeley would be great. I would have thought we would have heard about more transfers next year. Feeling like Big Dick is coming back and Furphy about 60/40. I'm actually in camp for Baby Marko. I think he will be good someday if he sticks around although Philon may be everything Marko is and better.

I’m still taking Embiid, it was clear he was a HOF/all time great level talent.

I wonder if any Kentucky kids will enter the portal/decommit and not follow Cal.

They were so focused on their one-and-done recruiting strategy that I don't think they can have too many potential transfers, but I have no doubt that they'll lose most of their recruiting class. Some of them might go to UK anyway, but it seems more likely they'll follow Cal.

If many or all of his recruits follow to him to Arkansas, what happens with the current recruiting class at Arkansas? Do they have commits worth poaching?

Arkansas has 1 commit and 1 returning player currently.

I had a dream last night that Bill Self had another medical emergency, and had to retire.

We made history and hired Dawn Staley as the next Head Coach of Kansas Men's Basketball.

When I woke up I thought it was ridiculous, but, after thinking about it a while, and being high, I am starting to think I would be OK with it.

I might actually commit seppuku were that to happen.

Definitely couldn’t be the Finals given the Lakers won that year.
