As for RF:

Another 4 star 6'8 freshman who we also recruited currently at Kansas is playing much like RF. Sometimes you just gotta watch, work and learn your freshman year.

100%. We are spoiled by Lovett and Ponds but most freshman look bad and then get better as they get more comfortable. I think you need to see him develop for a couple years before we give up. He might be a very useful player his 3rd and 4th year.

Lightfoot also wrapped up in one of the problems Kansas is facing right now with their b-ball program.  At least from the article I read.  Not saying the kid did anything, just saying the article stated he was present at one of the alleged incidents.

I want Oedipus to remain here for 4 years as I did Chris Jones and Dexter Grey.  Heck,  I want Da Ali B to stay.  I firmly believe that every underclassman should be given every opportunity to show the David Cain effect.

However, The 21% he's shooting from 2 and the 17% he's shooting from three are historically inept for our program.  My Bff the Triangle was absolutely destroyed on this board for shooting 37% from 2 and 28% from 3 all while playing out of position and running the point by his lonesome.

Plus Rf hasn't provided anything in other areas.  I'm all for giving him 4 years here but face it.  He's been bad.

This is a longshot, but I wonder if Matt A has looked into Austin Nichols. He would be a great PF for us. Still have no idea why UVA cut ties, but we could give him another chance.

He doesn't have any eligibility left

From this article: http://virginia.sportswar.com/article/2016/11/18/austin-nichols-dismissed-from-uva-mens-basketball-program/
It says he still have one year of eligiibility remaining

Suspended to start season, plays one game then gets dismissed from the team. So he was given a second chance at UVA. Don't think we are desperate enough to be giving people third chances. Already burned by Z Brown.

Don't disagree. Grad Transfer or decommited recruit would be necessary if Lovett is gone.

Touche'. Where do you think ST. J's would have been the last 10 years or so with Cleuss at the helm?

Tough to say. Kids like playing in his system. Who knows how that would translate to the Big East. Certainly fun to watch, and I'm sure fun to play for

Taking a commitment from Zach Brown was a killer.  Hopefully we can find a PF when coaching carousel starts up
When you're a kid from New York and you do it in New York, that lasts forever!

Status of Moose and Amar, incoming grad transfer big could change the rotation quite a bit. We should wait until Summer Session I begins before any starting5 proclamations are made this is very premature.
