Brings size. His mins shrank every yr at KU . Wonder if there was an injury issue? Ft % has much room for improvement.

Just based on stat and college career analysis, a bit surprising .

Lane will likely start.

Could see Smurf Millender from UTSA and KeShawn Murphy from Mississippi State as additional starters - but realize we haven't signed either yet.

You have to think if the guy was recruited by KU he had something to bring to the table tho which is why I wonder if he had injury issues.

Why do I find that concerning, I guess I only want positivity around McMillan.

Murphy is a hot commodity. Big time programs are after him. Auburn for one.

Yeah the only way I see Murphy coming here is if we throw a very large portion of the NIL budget at him, which I don't see happening.

Buzz, are you still posting on here?

Lampkin's gotta be a head case but maybe worth the risk for a season

My neighbor played basketball at TCU and is well plugged into the program. He verified that Lampkin has a screw loose. This would be his 4th or 5th school.

this x 10. Got to have players and some will get a few minutes here and there. Hell we need a full roster to practice. Some of the comments on here are boggle the mind...

Are you surprised Bob?

Aggie logic. Kinda like the only happy Aggie is a mad Aggie.

I think I saw that Luke posted we've reached out to him. He also stated that we may not hear of guys visiting due to other teams trying to swoop in with better NIL packages to steal a recruit. I think that's what happened with Brownell. Everything pointed to us getting him until USC swooped in at the 11th hour.

I'll be honest, in general I don't follow recruiting much anymore but I'm interested currently because we have absolutely no players so it's kind of fascinating.

But that said, I haven't gotten a clear picture of what exactly happened at K State, though there seems to be some evidence that he remained enrolled as a student there.

So running roster list as of now:

Chris McDermott - lone holdover - 6 ft 7 in wing with 3 yrs remaining eligibility
Jeremiah Green - 6 ft 2 in point guard - incoming fish
Jacari Lane - 6 ft point guard transfer from North Alabama - 1 yr remaining eligibility
Zach Clemence - 6 ft 11 in forward transfer from Kansas with 1 yr remaining eligibility - maybe 2 yrs remaining if he gets medical redshirt approved by NCAA

About 30% there

I agree with Marc that there's a decent chance Clemence gets a year back for injury this year.

I know Jaelyn Lee entered the portal but haven't heard if he has committed anywhere else. Wonder if he would be a fit for Buckyball or not? I presume not since that could seemingly have been wrapped up quickly but maybe both the staff and Lee wanted to do their homework first ?

This guy was mentioned on page 3 as having A&M interest.

Texas A&M transfer target commits to Minnesota https://t.co/Gk7d6zW3mw

Minnesota must have gotten an influx of cash or something. They're putting together a halfway decent roster for a team that lost a player to us last portal cycle.

Medved runs a fun offense too and has a week on Bucky.

Yeah, maybe the coaching change also has them hyped up.

that one was painful with his parents being Ags and his sharp shooting.

Hausen was a really good high school player at Amarillo

We need to overpay a little we are getting bodied

Serious question regarding NIL or other revenue sharing budget to pay players.

If we end up trying to do this year "on the cheap" so that we have money "left over" and uncommitted for THIS YEAR - can we bank it and have that much more that we could use NEXT YEAR when we have a full staff in place to rapidly respond to NEXT year's Transfer Portal???

Or is it a case of getting "zeroed out" each new year and starting from scratch - for example if basketball doesn't spend their allotted shared funds then it goes back to a central distribution point for other sports...?

Btw, I've seen people throwing around that $7M number. Here's the kind of money we're up against, and keep in mind this is just for the INCOMING players to these teams, not including the guys already on the team.

Here are the CBB programs that are *estimated* to have spent the most NIL money on incoming transfers this offseason so far.

Michigan 8.8 million
Kentucky 7.6m
Maryland 7.1m
Miami 7.1m
Iowa 6.6m
Virginia 6.2m
Washington 5.9m
Creighton 5.6m
Georgetown 5.5m
Xavier 5.5m

These are…

at least most of those are basketball first schools, but still can't believe we're getting grossly outspent by the likes of some of these places (minus UK and Michigan)

That is a good question. I would assume NIL could be rolled over since it's "supposed" to be outside sources. I could see the revenue sharing having to be year specific though.
