So, look, there's a whole lot of different dominoes that can fall here.

But I think just first and foremost for KU, it's really important that they get Stokes on board.

Yeah, they do.

And, look, if you're losing Florida, you've got to go find yourself a starting center, even if Paul and Bia, you know, is currently expected to return.

You need a big guy in the middle.

And for KU right now, the guy they're looking at is Anton Bonk from Charlotte.

You know, interesting story.

You know, guy that came over and played some Juco ball in the middle of nowhere, Arizona, then went to Providence.

Didn't really play much and then went to Charlotte and had a really nice season.

You know, it was something that when I first kind of heard him, I was like, really?

He's looking in for the starting center spot, but kind of when I dove into some of the numbers, I'm like, okay, you understand it.

7'2", moves really well, light on his feet for someone that big, dominant on the glass, both offensive and defensive, has some skill.

He can step behind the three-point arc and knock down shots, and you put that all together, and you can look at what Bill Self has done traditionally with big men.

He can make anyone serviceable.

right?

And so if you give him someone with the traits that Bonk has, like, I can see a world in which he is someone that can contribute at center for Kansas.

Now you've got to find

maybe another forward that's a 4-5 hybrid, maybe Keanu Dodds from Utah is that guy for KU.

But they do need to get bigger.

You're seeing it across college basketball this season that teams are going a lot more too big.
