Yep and meanwhile several B12 programs have caught up or passed KU

Kansas as of the last 4-5 years has not been "feared" as they had been in the past, including when playing at Allen Fieldhouse.

KU/Self have not handled the NIL era well. Teams with no depth and reliant on finding a new wing scorer every year, which is a train wreck when you're bringing in AJ Storr and Tre White.

Hubert Davis is GONE...leading buyout candidate is Otzelberger imo. 4 million others rumored are North of 10 million buy a lot!!!

McCasland might be an option, it would certainly be a HUGE upgrade over Texas Tech.

Will Wade return to LSU is sounding more and more likely by the minute

Is it being billed as a return to the scene of the crime ?

Self is out at Kansas per early reports, later today.....who gets that primo job?

If I were Will Wade, I would be stumping for that position over LSU or any other. Buyout around 5 million, Kansas could easily absorb that.

I’d be thrilled with a swap.

Yes, but won't happen. I truly think that BU wants to try and get the ILLINI back to the "Flyin ILLINI" kind of days, and more importantly a National Powerhouse. He is getting there, Thursday will be a tipping point moving forward though.

Kansas or UNC may end up with Scott Drew, he has done about all he can do at Baylor, however does seem comfy there, maybe he doesn't want anything other than that? Buyout is relatively low by todays standards 4.5 mil, any blue blood can afford that.

May I don't see leaving
Golden is going to get a bigger bank 3 years in a row. Why leave Florida recruiting grounds?
Wade rumored to LSU, but I could see him at Kansas though.
Wright, wants to unretire? UNC makes the most sense if he does, I don't think he does though.
Oats is the easy one for UNC imo, buyout ? Who cares if it's a blue blood?

That is what I assumed as well, except Self is not on the table. LOL
