At this point, I hope they bring him back. Kai looked the part, never had the deer-in-the-headlights look, and was active on D. The shot looks good, just couldn't get it to fall. Plus, a little more continuity wouldn't be the worst thing.

I am the only one reading this as a nothing burger? He got hurt, was “out,” but was still torching everyone at practice? The whole “hurt since high school” seems like a crutch to simply get him the medical redshirt. The podcasters picked up on it and quickly changed the subject. I think...

I think you’re underestimating Groves’s defensive prowess. Someone shared a video on here of his performance against Duke. I think you’ll feel relieved watching that.

^^ This guy's 'meh' on Nolan Groves and Kyan Evans but high on Kaydn Betts...Can't make it up.

lol literally thought about making this reference.

It sounds like (reading between the lines), it may have been a courtesy from May to get him the medical redshirt. He was hurt, missed some time, but consistently cracking the rotation wasn't happening (obvs just a stacked lineup). I think you gamble on this guy. The Michigan podcasters were...

I want this dude bad. I watched a brief Michigan podcast that covered their transfers, and both hosts lamented losing this guy. Sounds like he had some injuries, but thought even as stacked as they were, he would have contributed if it hadn't been for that. Just an insane offer list out of...

I frickin' love we got a guy like this who is under the radar. Keep giving Niko young guys, with multiple years left to play, who were sitting on 'Super Team' rosters in 2025/2026. Imagine who Groves was practicing against day in and day out at TT!? Throw Winters Grady in that bucket as well at...

I don't think of him as the guy I want most, but he's just the most logical. -Shouldn't break the bank -Familiarity with Niko/system -Good shooter -Good ball handler -Acclimation should be immediate, given that familiarity He's just the perfect guy to bring in with one year of eligibility...

Lol what? Stirtz was a spectacular floor general, who's a fringe lottery pick. He made their entire offense tick, and literally couldn't rest because it all fell apart when he did. Iowa will have a far bigger adjustment without Stirtz than we will without Reynolds and Tyson, and I say that...

I think there could be value in keeping Willis around, but wasn't the rumor that he was one of the highest-paid players last year? If he was willing to take a cut, heck yeah, keep an older guy who now knows the ins and outs of the system. Didn't he also have two years technically...

Sucks, because I think this guy had so much potential coming in, and I think Niko really liked him as a person and player. That said, this is a business, and I understand why we're moving on. Unless these injured guys were willing to take huge pay cuts, this is the only way in the new era.

We don't need a flamethrower for the Reynolds replacement. Someone who can keep the defense honest would be MASSIVE in preventing them from collapsing in the lane. Love that he has two years, too!

Isn't he undersized, though? I can't imagine a 6'8" center coming off a serious knee injury will be a hot commodity for P5.

Agree. He was the one injured guy I could justify wanting back. He has a wide frame, laid some good screens, and was a good rebounder. I remember watching an interview with him before last season, where he mentioned he had a knee issue that surprised me at the time. He had only recently been...

Whatever happened to the clearing house that verified NIL payments were legit and priced appropriately for services rendered, and not “play for pay?”

Just need to ENTER the portal (I just figured this out). Negotiations can extend well beyond two weeks. I'm sure there are many done deals, but the tampering would be too obvious if announced immediately.

It has to be that, right? But with the max exodus at KU, there are productive players bailing, and the fans are super upset about it. It's gotta be a combination of ego and confidence in getting a similar bag, or maybe slightly less, but the "FU" feels better than a few measly $100k.

It's really blowing my mind how many kids are transferring out of these programs. We know there is plenty of money there, and you'd think they'd have more leverage (especially at KU), with so many others leaving. Does money dry up when the guady payroll doesn't meet expectations? Is there...

Kinda crazy, but Bobby had way more hype than Tyson coming into the season.
