I like this very much

Finally some good news for a change!

Off topic: The Chefs beat the Faders yesterday,

Ok, "Negative Nancy" chiming in here:

I'm glad that he might be here to help sooner rather than later, BUUUUUT that also means:

>He has to prove that he's willing to work as hard as HCBS wants him to work
>He has to learn the KU system
>He has to get used to playing at the D1 level, which can take some time

So I don't see this as a "solution" as much as I see it as another warm body that's probably not 100% ready for prime time. And unfortunately, once we're in the conference season, it IS prime time.

One other thing that I see as a possible negative: if he's a one-and-done, he'll play half a season at KU in a year when we're probably not going to make the FF based on who we've got. I'd almost rather have him show up NEXT year and get at least a full season out of him.

Ok, "Negative Nancy" is going away now.

I don't think he will either be a game changer for this years team or do enough to crack the lottery in this coming draft.

Playing and practicing , especially if he gets the minutes we thought Billy was getting, could have him ready to have a great 2018-2019.

Unfortunately, according to Jesse Newel, KU coaching says DeDousa's ACT score is still pending and the tweet just represents personal optimism on his part. If he does get to come, another big body can't hurt and he would be unlikely to make enough of an impression to go pro after one semester. I'll still keep my fingers crossed. Probably more likely to get him than Preston.
