Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2672236, member: 1414"] If Newman comes back, Kansas is loaded. They will lose Graham and Svi, but that's it. DeSousa and Lightfoot were freshmen, Azubuike is becoming a force, they have a great class coming in, plus the Lawsons, who transferred from Memphis. Putting a point forward skilled guy like Dedric Lawson on a team with lots of scoring talent like KU will make them very dangerous. From ABC: [B]1. [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/2305/kansas-jayhawks']Kansas Jayhawks[/URL][/B] Bill Self's squad should defend its Big 12 title streak and make another run in the NCAA tournament. He'll have more talent. Yeah, it sounds crazy, but [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3907359/malik-newman']Malik Newman[/URL] -- if he returns -- will enter next season as a preseason All-American after his dominance of the NCAA tournament landscape. [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3919334/lagerald-vick']Lagerald Vick[/URL] and [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4066299/udoka-azubuike']Udoka Azubuike[/URL] should also return, joining a top-10 recruiting class that features a pair of five-star guards: [URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/216451/devon-dotson']Devon Dotson[/URL] and [URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/221672/quentin-grimes']Quentin Grimes[/URL]. Wait. There's more. Self will also add Memphis transfers [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3907786/kj-lawson']K.J. Lawson[/URL] (12.3 PPG, 8.1 RPG in 2016-17) and [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3907785/dedric-lawson']Dedric Lawson[/URL] (19.2 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 2.1 BPG) and Cal transfer [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4066345/charlie-moore']Charlie Moore[/URL] (12.2 PPG, 1.1 SPG), who are all eligible to play next season. Oh, and [URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/216557/romeo-langford']Romeo Langford[/URL], a top-five recruit who is unsigned, could still pick the Jayhawks, too. That's a helluva talent pool for Self. [/QUOTE]
