This week Kansas announced the addition of another Senior, Christian Reeves, a center transferring in from College of Charleston. Having a year earlier transferred in from Clemson where he couldn't get off the bench. Having a year before that transferred in from Duke where for two years he couldn't get off the bench.

More importantly for Kansas, they received commitment for the nation's number one overall recruit, Tyron Stokes. Is Stokes enough to push Kansas past their recent rut of losing in the Tournament's first weekend?

It's doubtful. Why? This past season we've already seen how Kansas underwhelms with a super-recruit and a roster of supporting transfers shoring up experience around him.

For some reason Bill Self's Portal acquisitions aren't working out. With experienced players like Hunter Dickinson, Tre White, and Melvin Council signing up for senior seasons at Kansas, the Jayhawks should be getting the successful results that schools like Illinois and Michigan have gotten from similar aggressiveness in the Portal. Especially with wunderkinds like Darryn Peterson, and, soon, Tyran Stokes, cherry-topping the roster.

Hopeful UW can snag a decent backup point with its last spot. Seems like they’re trying to put whatever’s left toward something like that.

UW and Auburn just announced that they will play in Nashville on December 19.

We might actually go to this one.

Nashville + Badgers = Fun

Hmmmm. I don’t think the timing would work out and the drive would suck, but I have a friend there and that would be cool. 

Also, saw one report UW’s last roster add might be more developmental. Was hoping a 10-12 MPG ball-handler might be in the bargain bin somewhere. Could be a bit short on that front.

11 was a great number. 

The wonks just never took advantage of it.

Buckeyes with a very late addition to this year's recruiting class:

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-basketball-recruiting/2026/05/162483/ohio-state-lands-7-foot-1-serbian-center-vuk-lazarevic-adding-to-2026-class
 @@MaximumSam or for that matter anyone else:

Do you have any kind of feel for the level of importance of this addition?

Can't say I know much about him. I've read that recruiting foreign guys in general involves a lot of guessing and mystery. But you can't teach being seven feet tall I guess. Just hoping it wasn't a last ditch effort because they don't think Ojianwuna will be healthy.
