I appreciate your info. I know with recruiting these days it can all change in an instant but you have definitely been early on some stuff that has come to fruition

JGT supposedly said Bidunga back to Kansas and that he doesn’t expect Tahaad to return. Yikes if true.

Agree on flory. not sure about Haad.

There is a reason that we started talking to the ASU big thursday.

Pettiford or Jakhi?

I don’t see Pettiford leaving.

I think Jakhi is gone but that’s just a feeling I haven’t heard anything.

Is CBM returning if so then I guess Howard is gone because Abdul and CBM are both basically 3’s as well.

We are in a weird roster spot. Ideally you’d want 4 bigs, 3 wings, 4 guards. Probably gonna be a very unbalanced roster next season and balance back out the year after.

I’d be shocked if he returned.

Based on opinion or source?

Jahki returning would shock me.

Not Haad.

I think Haad will test the draft waters. (As he should). Think it’s fully dependent on what kind of grade he gets.

I agree, but a lot of Draft guys love him because he can create space, but I think tonight hurt his stock.

Needs a year, add some weight, could work his way into the lottery.

Probably correct but all it takes is one team falling in love with you. This is a solid class when it comes to guards though so my guess is he comes back. For reference, the last projection I saw had Clayton Jr going at the second to last pick of the first round. And now that NIL is a thing and unregulated, for most guys it’s going to make way more sense to come back unless they’re guaranteed first round.

I think Haad is a late first rounder right now.

Who were the guys who might have more eligibility? Wasn't it Chad and Denver or Chaney or all three? Any of them expected to come back, or try to? I know everyone thought Broome was gone after the season last year.

Chad should for sure. Denver won’t after they clarified that if the JUCO year was during Covid then there won’t be an extra year. Chaney is still up in the air but the vibe is that that’s probably not happening.

I don’t think Pettiford is drafted at all. He’s too short and way too much of a liability on defense.

He’s not 6’1” as listed he’s probably not even 6 foot. Getting open on step back 3’s is not difficult in college. I think the shortest point guard in the league now is 6’2”. Most are between 6’3 and 6’6”. They would just iso him and take him underneath and post him up and score each time down the court.

He’s a terrific freshman college player. He needs experience and muscle. He can earn more in college then the g-league or whatever it is now

That's surprising. His ball handling and ability to get to the post doesn't seem at that level, but I don't know.
