the only way we keep KU within 30 is if the NCAA decides Jameel
Warney, Lucas Woodhouse, and Akwasi Yeboah get a one-time waiver
to use a fifth year of eligibility, and they all decide to suit
up for the game.

“We’re talking about a group of great players and good people
who really performed for us,” Ford said. “There was a desire in
each to play at the Power Five level and once one decided to go,
they all felt this was the opportunity . . . I don’t think it
helped that we weren’t together and on campus because of [the
coronavirus].
Also...
“I know what this could look like and it couldn’t be further
from the truth,” Garcia added. “Coach Ford has been tremendous.
It came down to a personal decision. It was a personal decision
for all of us.”

If we had all of them I think we win tbh. Crazier things have
happened. Fun hypothetical.

That article does reassure me a little bit. None of them took a
shot at Ford and it seems like it was a domino effect after
Garcia transferred.
Even the others said if Garcia didn't leave there is a chance
they would have stayed. One thing these guys need to be cautious
about is that they will likely ride the bench at the bigger
programs. I do not see any of these transfers being as good as
Akwasi for example.
I think college hoops has changed in the last 10 years. Hope for
three good years out of your players and then cross your fingers
they want to return for their senior season. As I said earlier,
the NCAA needs mid-major basketball to keep NCAA basketball
relevant.

I am reading between the lines, they all said they want to
better themselves. Other then Olaniyi and MAYBE Garcia they will
all be making lateral moves. If they believed in the coach they
would have stayed. All you need is 8 good players to have a
chance. SB doesn't fire coaches so we will be screwed unless the
new president cares and makes some changes

I agree with you. Garcia and Olaniyi will be forgotten if they
wind up on a Power 5 team. This has more to do with SB then
anything else, and no. SB wont fire Ford for his poor
performance and his unacceptable performance on the court and
with his players.

I do think it's important to read between the lines. The last
thing a guy entering the transfer portal wants to do is say
anything negative about his coach publicly. Maybe he loves Geno
and not the program. Or loves the program and not Geno. I do
think it's the former – just another guy who wants to take on a
new challenge, even if it's in a more limited capacity.

According to Student Athlete Network (@StuAthNetwork) | Twitter
and his own Twitter feed JUCO SF Leighton Elliott-Sewell,
originally out of the UK has committed to Stony Brook. Looks
like a pretty aggressive wing not afraid to absorb contact on
the drive. Could be a nice piece of the puzzle going forward.

Looks like he can drive to the basket and post up. If I'm
reading his stats correctly, over 60% from the field. I'll take
it.
