Zach is back on campus and “hopefully practicing today…”

Sounds like he thinks he jumped the gun. After Dickinson signed and our other bigs left, there was a hole that could be re-filled.

Also sounds like HCBS has a good plan for Zach. Let him redshirt for a year, get bigger and stronger, and work on his game. Then, presumably, when Dickinson goes pro next year, Zach will be able to slide into that spot without burning a year of eligibility.

Good solution all around. Now Zach just needs to do the work. While I liked that he was a big who could also drop shots from outside, it was pretty clear that he wasn't physically able to do much down low.

Get in the weight room Zach and start banging bodies with Dickinson in practice!

I was thinking about kids like Zach, and so many others including others on our current roster. Zach is probably not going to make a living as an NBA player and probably not playing overseas but that is still a possibility. One never knows. But, he can get a great education, both a BA or BS, and with a little hard work in a Masters in 5 years. Think of people like Lightfoot. I wonder whether he has come to that realization? By redshirting here at KU, and knowing the system and the great support here at KU for student athletes, he will finish with a great degree/s.
