Wiggins/Embiid - we all know how that turned out. Incomplete legacy due to injury and too early NCAA exit
Ben McLemore - an asterisk here but kid still got hosed by transcript debacle
Xavier Henry - too early exit and family drama
Josh Selby - lol
Alexander/Oubre - the story has yet to be fully written but the Alexander debacle sure looks like it is going to be the headline to this OaD KU class.
Would I trade any of these guys - well, maybe Selby as his timing didn't reconcile. Did I enjoy watching all of these guys play, especially up close and in person - you bet your ass.
But let's face it, KU is not meant to succeed on the big stage with guys of this mold. For whatever reason, just not meant to treat the Jayhawks kindly. The one guarantee is that they will be footnotes to the Conference Title streak.
