I would really hate to see Juiston go to KU. They have 7' center Azuibuke coming back from an injury and then Coleby & Bragg (even tho he struggled) at PF. Also have 5 star Preston coming in. There's no way he would start.
Interesting recruiting tactic.

He absolutely will have a bigger impact here and our system and needs match him far better than KU. But we're recruiting because he'll give teams like KU problems. He's better than all but Azuibuke and different than all them.

Is there any insight on Kasongo? How has he come along in his RS season?
One good thing about Ray, he is all of 6'8"- 6'9"! I stood next to Solomon and Ray at Kum n Go and Ray was a smidge taller and just as think as Solomon if not a little bigger. I also heard he has improved a lot over this past year and that is why we have backed off of Lake.

Do you think Kasongo is going to start? Or at least get some valuable minutes? He's that person that everyone has kind of forgotten about, but I think he can make a big impact. My guess is he is the 6th or 7th man.

I would be very surprised if he started, Young and Lard would have to be ahead of him imo. I hope he's progressed enough to come in and give useful minutes down low.

I'd guess he plays more of a Merrill Holden role.
