$ article, tweet has value:
Here it is: Mason Martin, Breakaway Basketball -- Back in January, Martin quietly committed to home state Illinois. This weekend is 247Sports first chance to get an extended look at the 6-foot-5 two guard and we have learned one very important thing, he could be one of the best shooters in the class of 2027. Martin is armed with an absolute strap from deep and needs little time or space to let it fly from deep. He was torching the nets from deep all day while making a combined 16 threes in two games while going for 32 and 26 points.
It’s harder for KU when everyone can pay players and your in a league with better competition.
Make another final 4 with Duke at home and maybe kids will figure out Scheyer ain't it

I think it's safe to say that we took Martin on his own merits, not because he's Kelly's running mate
Homecoming 2019
- Chicago
Gonna need an explanation on the Mich love here, seen them all over preseason lists. Guess I'm not buying their comeback after losing 3 - 1st rounders. Though maybe I'm a lot lower on Cadeau than most people.
one blonde driving down a desert highway sees another blonde sitting in a rowboat in the sand and rowing her heart out. The blonde in the car pulls over and yells...."you know it's blondes like you who give the rest of us a bad name! And if I knew how to swim I'd come out there and kick your butt!"
Probably happened in Arizona...true story. Really...it is.
he looks like he is 11
Oh man, if he does stay in the draft imagine the egg on the face of the staff. Would be a huge fail
Has KB moved on and just wants to focus on professional ball?
For now, yes. I think that could very much change if the 5/5 is passed and seniors are allowed back.
Sounded like they were bigger on Brady Pettigrew who’s already visited.

McLovin's cuz, who will flippin' destroy you
I agree 100%. You can't completely guy a team by removing 3 NBA players, then multiple seniors and plop them in the top 5. It's the era of the portal and projections, I suppose.

I feel like Morillo is a bigger downgrade from Ben than Vaaks is from Wagler.
I'll never claim to be the sharpest tack in the drawer, but this statement is baffling. I don't think Morillo was recruited or intended to be a Humrichous replacement. Other than Morillo being tall for a guard, their games are not really comparable.

Last season's bench: Davis, Humrichous, Z
(Andrej was literally our second best player, so for all intends and purposes, I'll count him as a starter)
This season's bench: Davis, Morillo, Z
Their games may be (vastly) different, but the only "replacement" there is Humrichous for Morillo.
They both play basketball so there's a similarity.
Respectfully to Ben, he was awesome this year, but Morillo has way more basketball talent.
Morillo is a guard and Ben is a PF? Why compare! Apples to oranges
Btw, Vaaks as a sophomore could put up Keaton numbers this year playing on a much more talented team.
At this point we really can’t call anyone a downgrade. Might want to predict less and actually wait and see how things look once our season starts!
