I feel like most of those spots will be the holdovers. I would not mind Javan Johnson only playing in the last 5 minutes personally.

Have a feeling if we get another forward Johnson may look elsewhere for more PT.

I think we got better and have one more to go, I'd like to see us get a forward that will rebound.

We got like 100X better. There is going to be growing pains early but I could this team coming together at the end of the season and getting to .500.

I don’t think we have seen @jsb or @mynameisjonas in these threads very much lately. Probably just busy with work

Yeah so sad. Someone should do a wellness check......

After the past two seasons I'd be thrilled with .500

what a good monday morning. 1st squawks lose a top player then we get a former top 75 recruit with a ton of potential. me like

CJ Frederick isn't a top player, at 100% he's the 4th or 5th scoring option at Iowa and a bench designated shooter for Kentucky.

When he's hurt which is 95% of the time he runs around the perimeter, can't keep guys in front of him, is too scared to shoot, and blocks better players from getting playing time.

Is a Hinson a for sure thing? Just haven’t heard anything that he is officially medically cleared to play next year.

That's not bad. I'm not doing the "we're a tourney team" thing, but we're a whole lot better for year 1 than we could have expected.

When healthy he is one of the top shooters in the country.

TJ:

 

[Rabbuk]

Foster for conditt and I'm sold. I am liking the tj hire so far barring a complete inability to coach a la prohm.

 

[CycloneErik]

After the past two seasons I'd be thrilled with .500

I figured .500 was doable if we scheduled the bottomest of bottom-feeders. I believe we can get there now with just our normal scheduling.

Not .500 in conference yet. I've gotta see that to believe it, but no reason to think we can't win 6-7 conference games. That's just fine after 2-22.

He was playing in the video that ISU Basketball recently put out on twitter.

I think he may have been practicing at the end of last season as well?

4th or 5th scoring option for Iowa this year maybe. He was most likely gonna be their best player next year.

It's his first year, so my expectations are tempered.

But we won 5 and 0 Big 12 games the past two years. Going 6-12/7-11 in TJ's first year would be a pretty good sign

This is awesome news!

Does anyone know why he left Kansas?

He wants to enjoy a football season in the fall?
