JFC, can we at least see what happens before we start making declarations on next year's roster considering we don't know roughly 25-40% of it?

What the Big 12 Means To Hoops
TL;DR: We're ****ed. Longer version - we're REALLY ****ed. We have no recruiting hotbed to pull from. If we're going to go with one geographically, it'd be either Cali or Texas. In the P12, it was Cali which made sense because we have conference games and the footprint and all of that stupid...

I kid, I kid
Seriously. Unless you're still playing in the tournament, what's happening to us is literally happening to every other program in the country.
Calm your tits people.
We could have an all star team next year and still be ****ed long term in the B12. Nothing I said in that original post has changed with any news.This you?

No.
Just giving you a hard time, Francis.
If you’re gonna go with the angle of being B4TDs with better grammar you need to at least be entertaining.

Generally, when you lose your top 5-8 players, your team will tend to struggle a bit....unless they're replaced with better players.
I have no inside info, Tad looked worn out at the end of the year. I just wonder if he has the fire to rebuild. I hope so, because he is the best MBB coach CU has had IMO. But, all good things come to an end and a 14 year run is pretty long.

I could see Cody, TDS, KJ declaring for the NBA draft tomorrow. Tad announces his retirement on Friday. Hoping this isn't the case and that KJ + Tad come back and rebuild the team with transfers around KJ.
I would hope for KJ to come back, but honestly, I don't know how he would improve his stock at this point, he had a monster year.
With the roster, I keep reminding myself that Utah State returned no scoring from their 2022-23 team, hired a new coach from mid major Montana State after the season, and was able to pull in transfers to construct a team that won the MWC. It's not necessarily a rebuilding year next season, but it takes an incredible job of talent evaluation & acquisition and also an amazing job on the coaching side of creating culture & chemistry to get all those new pieces to fit.

straight mercenary territory with Eddie, would have loved to have him back but understand trying to land at a final 4 contender and see what kind of bag he can get. don't think he will have his cake and eat it to though, wherever he goes will either be a worse program or he'll have a greatly diminished role
Hadley, get paid my guy
folks are saying we losing our top 5-8 players? nothing from Dak, Anderson, Smith, or Diop right? imo that is. very strong young core to build around

I hear Jeff Bzdelik still has a home in CO
I think this is the best thing for both sides. Hadley and Eddie will go to good teams to make a tournament run. We get to roll out a new young core that will improve rapidly together. We were going to be bad with Eddie and Hadley anyway. Now we have a chance to be better down the road. This is all predicated on the young unproven guys actually being talented though. Should be fun.
We are not alone in losing players.
990 is a little over 76 fully scholarship'd teams. If you had any amount of success, you're probably hopping in the portal to either get NIL, or to upgrade your situation to get NIL in the future.
And I highly doubt Tad isn't portal crootin' right now. Its going to be a absolute necessity going forward.

Next year is already more of a disaster than this year was in February.

My wife just texted me that she's going to call the CU Athletic Department to tell them to stop losing players so she can have a peaceful day, because our son is at home on spring break freaking out over the portal moves.
