YES!! Let's go!
Beat me to it - great news!
Like with TK and Oso, one of my favorite players here in a long time.
Can't wait to watch him as the alpha.
Glad Cam is staying to play with Ramsey
Great news!
Good news. No surprises yet

If the only departures are guys to the NBA, we are backing a damn good program.
I look forward to seeing
his continued growth and development.
As an aside, dodds was at the banquet last night and seated with Zaide. Zaide was talking about how they were all back in the weight room already.

This. 💯!
I am so damn pumped! Let's go! Big man to solidify the middle and we are back!
We were gone?
Hellyeah
This will be Kam's team next year. Looking forward to it.
Can't wait for senior year Kam

Absolutely. That says a lot, especially in the current CBB environment
One a day press releases.
Can't wait to see Kam next year. Ought to be favorite for Big East Player of the Year.
Does seem strange that we didn't hear from Jop at the same time, given how close they've been during their time at MU...
This is great stuff.
I am one who thinks Kam has an NBA career ahead of him, but I also believe he'll benefit from being THE man and getting to play more PG. He apparently agrees.
I'm already psyched about seeing how good next year's team can be.

Yup he's got more to show.
And I'll just keep saying it. Him and Stevie were always gonna ride it out together.

Should have been All Big East this year. Still can't believe that he wasn't.
KABOOM!!! This is outstanding news for the MU family!! LFG!!! Kam's skills and leadership are going to pay mammoth dividends moving forward.
Fantastic news. I think our senior group will be more than ready to take the leadership reigns. Kolek and Oso departures open the door for a breakout year for some of the younger guys.
This.Is.Fantastic.News.
Couple more things:
1. Really like Kam referring to himself as K1. A great nickname that should stick.
2. With K1 being the only proven scorer returning, I'm looking forward to seeing how Shaka walks the line between giving him the ultimate green light while also encouraging him to be the great teammate he always has been.

He started slowly, shooting poorly from 3. Remember the January teamwide shooting slump? Then he rolled his ankle. So, the first third of the season was not all league worthy. He finished great.

Kam struggled in the middle third of the season, but was great in the first and final thirds.

I meant conference season, but since I did not actually type it, I acknowledge that I was wrong.
Have to say I'm a bit surprised but am extremely happy with this news. LFG!!!
There's your point guard for next year.
Fantastic news! He is the leader of the team!

If there was one thing that was going to drive an MU player away, it'd be having to sit at a table with Dodds for dinner.

Trey Alexander, Kadary Richmond, Ryan Kalkbrenner, and Eric Dixon (I'm excluding Clingan because he's a top 10 pick, so I'm assuming he's gowne) were all on All Big East First, Second, or HM teams and (as far as I've seen) haven't announced they are leaving.
Desmond Claude could certainly be up there too.

Great news. Kam showed a lot down the stretch when Tyler was out. Excited to see the next level he can reach in his game.

My understanding is that Kam will seek special dispensation from the NCAA to play an extra year at Memphis in 2025-26, on the basis of finally being able to return home and securing some sweet NIL cash.
Kam should see some pre-season All American accolades. Makes me wonder, has MU ever had preseason All American recipients in back-to-back seasons by different players?
Quote from: tower912 on April 11, 2024, 12:50:00 PM

I should have clarified - back to the top 10 team!

That'd be cool. First let's start with All Big East awards... for which he was unjustly snubbed from all lists.
Looking forward to seeing the team play next year.
With Kam, Stevie, Joplin, Gold, Chase, Sean, Tre, Zaide, Amadou and new players, this team will be a very fun team to watch.

I think they're both waiting to see what Ramsey does.

My thought as well. Tre as the back up, Sean as health permits.
Clears the way to add some bulk in the portal if there is a fit.

Is Ramsey coming back?
He's been invisible since the season ended
Kam will really improve his draft status, if he has a really good year playing point.
I'm just happy we get another year of those drives where the ball drops into the hoop with heavy English high off the backboard.
He is a joy to watch play.
Quote from: bilsu on April 11, 2024, 08:46:50 PM

Exactly. Right now he's just a great 2 guard and the NBA is full of exceptional 2 guards. If he goes nuts from 3, or proves he can run point, then he'll start getting more looks.
