The other visitor from last week commits. 6’9” South Sudanese-Australian Kuany Kuany commits to VCU after graduating from Cal in the PAC-12. Provides 9 ppg and 4 rpg last year in just over 25 mpg. It is going to be really hard to figure out which teams helped themself the most, but VCU looks like they reloaded with several transfers. I believe they have only 1 or 2 freshmen recruits, which may be the sign of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, Harry knows the kid well and would have a handle on how big of a priority he would be. For better or worse we'll get to follow him closely in the A-10. I think VCU and Bonnie have done well in the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all wrong with that. He'll be the backup center and have an opportunity to win a championship. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he is from Overland Park (someone posted he dates a cheerleader for the Chiefs) and has obvious family connections to KU including future teammate Dajuan Harris who the family is close with. With Kansas gaining Dickinson, but then losing their two young bigs, they needed a backup and Braun makes some sense. Probably much easier to get a guy like that with those connections to your program to buy into that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I wonder how many people have played for both Mizzou and Kansas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be many especially when they were playing in the Big 8/12. I know on the women's side Lauren Aldridge transferred from Kansas to Mizzou in the not too distant past. This is the only one I can think of on the men's side and it is interesting due to the family connections to both programs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to think being in a family that has gone mostly to Mizzou, but deciding to go to Kansas is like a Hatfield marrying a McCoy in West Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I was getting at with my last point. They lost their two young bigs (Zuby and Udeh) who would have filed the role, so they were looking for someone to backup an all conference caliber big. Clearly the two young bigs didn’t like the idea of backing up Dickinson. Probably easier to sell that role to a kid like Braun with his connections to the program and being from the area. I recall when the brothers were at KU and Mizzou it was said that dad was a huge KU guy and Christian grew up a fan and that mom and her family were all Mizzou roots with Parker growing up a fan. So it was always a house divided. I know things soured between the family and Cuonzo with some unfortunate public behavior at games, so I don’t find this is as surprising as some might.

If folks think some on this board are bad, that family operates at a different level! Never good to have intoxicated family members loudly mouthing off at games. Probably easier for a program like KU to keep them happy. Could have been interesting here especially if his role was not as significant as they would want. He was certainly a roster fit and I do like some of his ability, but not one I’m overly concerned missing on and potentially a situation you wouldn’t want in the stands. wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 From what I understand this isn’t Love being NCAA eligible problem. It is an issue with what Michigan requires specific credit wise for upperclassmen transfers to enroll depending on the major. It has been an issue for Michigan with multiple transfers in basketball and football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
