My guess is we only land 1 big guy to go along with Oubre. I would say we land Alexander and not the other bigs. My main reason is he seems like he has been a KU lean for awhile and his other schools that he has listed are not quite as top tier as the other recruits with the exception of MSU. If we get one of these top 5 post players to go with Oubre and all of the guys who are going to return that is probably all we will need.

I fully agree that Jones is not a good fit. He wants to play right away and there is a strong chance he would have to sit behind older players at both the 1 and 2 spot next year. Tharpe will be back as will Mason, CF, Greene and possibly Selden. I am not sold that he is a OAD yet. I know that there is a great deal of talk about Selden leaving but I think we should all be a bit more reserved and let these kids play at least 1 game before we start anointing people as OAD. Wiggins is the obvious exception based on the incredible hype surrounding him. Even if he has a marginal year he is gone and he should be to cash in on the mania that surrounds him.
KU recruiting for next year is looking pretty solid. We will obviously lose Black and "maybe" Embiid so a couple of bigs can't hurt. I like Traylor and Lucas a lot but they are not pure scorers and we will probably need another big to compliment Perry...assuming he stays for his Junior year.
Just wanted to say thank you to the guys who set up this site. Great idea in the wake of the Face Book nonsense on Kusports. This site helps fill a large void.
