We're still very active.    Believe a couple of guys are visiting today.   Shooting guard and big post player.   Somehow the post player has been under the radar.  

My simple wish is that KU won't have to suffer through the agony of another 23-win season. Those poor bastards.

Ya he is more of a defensive coach which makes it even more puzzling.

Nick Kern and Zach Hicks are both similar in stature to Eli but they are tenacious defenders and they play exactly the way Mike Rhoades wants to play. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Eli in the portal again next year. 

Im shocked by that move...  Really odd.  He is from Nashville so doesnt seem much closer to home to me.  Don't believe Fred pushed him out after constantly praising him throughout the season last year.

The connection to note for Eli Rice to Penn St is that Rice was heavily recruited by VCU who at the time was coached by now Penn St coach Mike Rhodes.

Eli Rice to Penn State...
 
Which is a big... "Uhmmmm, ok?" to me. Makes me feel like he was pushed out here or something. Feel like any opportunity he'll have at Penn State he would have had here. Is he closer to home now or something? 

According to Washut on visits:
Payne's visit is off; and Hausen from Villanova will probably be visiting.

If Mast has to be sit out either way, he is better of staying at DONU on our "payroll" and taking advantage of our world-class sports medicine. 

Also need to consider we were very lucky on the injury front last year...  Need to have some depth in case we sustain a major injury.

I don't know who HB might be either.
But here's an "I have a friend" item by an anonymous poster on Red Sea Scrolls on Tuesday that is similar to our unidentified HB:
 
"I have a friend that’s very close with the program.  
He just texted me “Sounds like we are about to see some serious talent start pouring in”
Also said “Fred has them lined up.”
He’s a pretty reliable source.
Fred is cookin’
GBR"

The perfect Wilcher replacement.

Per Gary Sharp (UNO play-by-play guy), Fidler will be announcing on his morning radio show on Monday morning. Probably means it’s either us or Creighton.
 
I’d rather have Griffiths if we can only land one, but both would be nice.

Purdue had to have more than 1 3 pointer to be in this game.

Another poster who was there (and had a picture to prove it) and talked to Mast says Mast told him he’ll be back and that Fred’s got a plan in the works. 

Mast struggled against athletic bigs, but if he returned that would be huge. His leadership and teamwork would be hard to replace.

Morgan is really good.  He’s about the same player as Allick defensively but will give you twice as many points on the other end.  Physical in the paint, great hops at 6’10”, 250lbs, skilled off the dribble in iso, and serviceable (36%) from 3 and ft (70%). 
 
He’s easily athletic enough to play the 4 next to Mast or the 5 next to Gary.  
 
This is an extremely smart priority for Fred.  Morgan is one of the best transfers available period imo and he’ll get overlooked by a lot of programs.  

They deleted the tweet after saying Kyle is waiting to see if other suitors will come forward….
