Personally, I feel like Keeyan is probably the odd man out.

He would be third on the depth chart behind Oso and Gold, has already redshirted, and still not seen any time on a team that's kinda light in the front court.

Jury obviously still out on EE, and who knows, maybe Kam goes elsewhere, but that still doesn't help Keeyan move up the depth chart at his position.

The statement I responded to said that Shaka would have recruited a post player if he thought Gold was leaving.   That he would not want Joplin as the back up post.
If Gold leaves, Keeyan is not the odd man out.   He is the de facto back up post.

I think if Gold left, MU goes portaling to fill that spot for one year. Keeyan is at the end of year 2 and I'm not convinced Shaka trusts him all that much more than the walkons.

Finding a big willing to sit behind Oso without getting a bag o'coins worked so well last year with an open scholarship.

Again, I give you credit Tower. No one loves him some Keeyan as much as you. Not even close. Shaka would not go into a recruiting season knowing that if Gold is a one and done.....that we are set with our bigs, because we have Keeyan. As witnessed this year, Shaka has gone with Jop in several instances as a backup big. That should tell you all you need to know about Keeyan being the backup. I know you thought Keeyan would play meaningful minutes, but he hasn't .

The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole

We really don't know what Shaka knows. Ben could have told him last week he was heading for the NBL. Maybe he tells him in May. So who he could be recruiting may or may not have any bearing on who is going to be on the team next year.

But I think Ben Gold will be on the team next year.

I don't love Keeyan.  I haven't written him off yet. And I have not seen anything in the recruiting that indicates the coaching staff has written him off.

In this scenario, Zach is staying.

I'm a little surprised that the possibility that Gold is the guy that is not coming back next year is never discussed here. The NBL in Australia is one of the better leagues in the world.  It is stable, It pays well and it has reciprocity with New Zealand so he wouldn't take up one of the foreign exemptions each team is allotted. I would think he would be very attractive to that league.

From his standpoint, it's much closer to home, no school requirements (unless that aspect is important to him) and he still has a path to the NBA playing Summer League. I would imagine his development would be at worst equal playing in one of the better professional leagues in the world.

I haven't heard anything but it seems like a possibility. Before this season started Shaka was obviously operating under the assumption that someone was leaving. Other than leaving for unhappiness, which can't be predicted, I don't see anyone else on the team that was a lock for a better basketball option than college ball back in November.

What? Miss out on a trip to Maui and meet his parents half way to see him in the premier Feast Week tourney?  No way!
