First off - who all do you have leaving?
Honestly, I could see it just being those that exhaust their eligibility........Perry, Jamari & Hunter.
Selden or Svi could impress and leave but they're going to need pretty da*n good seasons to move up the Board enough to go ahead and leave.
I see no way that Bragg's a OAD. I think he knew going in that he'll serve as "more or less" Perry's apprentice and be asked to do many of the same things as Pery in '16/'17 - hoping that he's good enough to earn a solid 2AD outcome.
I'm going to be optimistic and say they land Diallo here to close out '15....he'd be a OAD, I imagine.
So that's 4 recruits needed (2 PFs & 2 Cs leaving).....all that would be left in the post would be Bragg at the "4" & Lucas at the "5".
I'm predicting now that while supposedly we're near the top with Josh Jackson that we don't land that Top / Top 3 (depending on source) recruit....he's from Mich. & playing in Cali. - I just have a hard time envisioning a Wing recruit like that coming to KU particularly if we're 2 deep there already.
I think Ferguson's a good SG almost likelihood.
After that I say go and load up on bigs.
Bolden & Herard are probably 3AD big men that should still at least be able to contribute early off the bench behind a likely starting Bragg & Lucas in that '16/'17 season.
Then it might be nice to have a 4-year guy as well further down the list.
'16 looks to be chock full of recruits from TX & FL and we've done pretty well with both.
I'd be pretty disappointed with a "swing and a miss" outcome out of that Class.
Land one of Ferguson, Bolden or Herard early & I'd be a very happy Jayhawk!!
