Very weird timing on his part to leave KU. Didn't even go on the trip overseas! It makes you wonder if he just couldn't cut it or if KU has someone else lined up? Eitherway, looks like KU will again be playing some small ball this year.

They'll have more talented front court players, but still won't be very deep.
Billy Preston
Azubuike
Mitch Lightfoot
Svi, although he just has front court height.
They better hope Lightfoot is a serviceable backup.
Reading twitter, some KU fans are saying he had a bad attitude and it was a "mutual" decision to leave.
Others are saying he was kicked off to make room for Marvin Bagley since he's reclassifying to 2017.
Gee.....which one seems more likely?
Am I allowed to wait to answer until after they sign Marvin Bagley?
6-2 185 lb guard
Averaged 12.9 ppg 3.0 rpg and 3.4 apg in 31 minutes per game in two years at North Texas.
6.3 ppg 1.8 apg in one year at Texas A&M. Was a top 100 recruit out of HS and 7th best PG in the 2012 class.
I think this would be a great option for some backcourt depth for 17-18.
We would be 100% on board with the same decision if it were ISU.
I will remain on my high horse, sir, until you can prove otherwise.

Well according to a QC sports writer who is a big Hawk homer, Hoiberg never did any recruiting, even for transfers. I guess all of the transfers came banging on our door, begging to play for ISU.
NBA blogger Keith Smith recently tweeted this quote from Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg, reflecting on his days as a college head coach at Iowa State: “I hated recruiting. I absolutely ‘f'ing’ hated recruiting. In the NBA, it is just coaching. No other stuff. Just coaching.’’
Sometimes not even that.
It didn’t seem like Hoiberg did all that much recruiting at Iowa State anyway. The Cyclones built much of their team around transfers from other schools, a ploy that has been picked up and maybe even accelerated by his successor, Steve Prohm.
Iowa State has collected five transfers since the end of last season and could very well have three graduate transfers in the starting lineup next season.

Same old recycled hawkeye garbage, yet when you look at Iowa State and Iowa over the past 7 years the results speak for themselves.
wut? Doesn't the author does realize Fred still had to recruit the transfers that arrived in Ames? Not exactly like recruiting HS prospect from AAU but there was completion for all the transfers.
Same guy wrote this article.

All that news reel of Fred at Lin-Mar games must of been photo shopped.
I couldn't immediately find recent clips of J-Mychal Reese, but he appears frequently in this game recap from '16: UNT vs. Marshall
