Ok. Thanks

So East and Diarra potentially next year?

for those that watched Brazille at Mizzou ....could he start alongside Okoro?

Yes. I have heard 3 names so far that they have set their sights on. Two have already been mentioned in the forum.

They have a few names they are working on

Lol Wiseman left BBE to play for Team Hardaway. Left his high school team to go play for Hardaway. Then Wiseman accepted impermissible benefits at Memphis. Penny had to know eyes were on him before Wiseman stepped on campus. No information is private these days.

Sorry. Got busy at work. I don't have an announcement but after chatting with Javonte today I am more positive about his chances of returning than I was after talking to him a couple months ago.

I'm sure Tate will reach out to him.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I wish him luck on his next journey

Yeah. That seems to be the trend here lately. Because we would have to assume any new transfers will be rotation players. Have a great season next year and you could possibly be recruiting over kids you are "developing".

Lol

Yeah. If he wanted to come back...they would most definitely make room for him

Ok. Appreciate the insight.

My bad. I agree on LHJ. I was speaking more on the starting lineup for next year. Would you look for a starter next year in the portal?

Is that assuming Javonte comes back?

Only got to see him in videos like this. Here's a sample

Congratulations to Javonte on graduating in May. Proud of him.

I agree

There was a little talk of that when Roy Williams retired

What if the staff viewed the ceiling (with Javonte) to be winning the A10 and losing 1st round in March Madness?

Wizards have Neto, Ish Smith, and Satoransky who can all play point. In addition to Cassius Winston. They occasionally run offense thru Avdija as well. Kuzma and Porzingis are their scorers and they give touches to their bigs. Someone who can play the 2/3 and spot up for 3s fits the need more than another point guard.

Appreciate that. Now I am not advocating that the staff focus their sites on Bradford as top priority if he becomes available. I was just responding to the question of whether he would be a fit. At K State they run a lot of high screens with their bigs...the guards come off them looking to score. The bigs usually end up out of position to rebound. Dean Wade (Cleveland Cavs) is 6'10 more athletic and a better player than Bradford and only averaged 5.4 rebounds in that system playing the 4/5.

@A10RefI think he would fit. But like @NHsaid...would he want to come off the bench. If he did...I think the staff would welcome him with open arms. Yuri would get Bradford easy buckets at the rim.

Bradford really doesn't fit the style K State wants to play.
