McCullar status 2024-02-22

That really isn't good that he has not been able to do anything so far this week. Injuries on a team with no depth are a real issue.

Well, I am just going to say it. First, let me say, I am usually pretty upbeat about our ups and downs throughout the season(s). If Kevin's status is unknown before every game, then for all intents and purposes, this season is over. No one has stepped up when he was out and I just don't see it happening. I hope I am wrong on all accounts because I just don't see us winning with Kevin on the bench.

The Hawks did beat the team that is currently ranked number 11 in the country without Kevin McCullar, so they are not easy to beat even without him. They really need everyone else to play well. As the saying goes they have a very small margin of error.

Let's all remember that Remi was hurt for some of the season and I think that helped us get better without him and then he came back and it was the spark that we needed. Hopefully that's what happens here. Kevin gets rest, others get forced to step up, they do so, Kevin returns and all together the team is stronger and we win another championship!!!!

The fundamental issue is the structure of this team. Yes some unexpected events w/ transfers, big miss w/ Timberlake thus far, Morris mess and frankly Jackson/ McDowell haven’t developed. KM going down, arguably an AA, is tough but it’s fatal because of all of the above, and frankly imo a poor job on the part of HCBS and staff in building the roster.

Watching the likes of TTU, TCU, ISU go 7-10 deep with a quality bench, it is frustrating that Kansas can’t. No Big 12 team should be able to build a better roster than Kansas.

That being said, HCBS is one of the best coaches in developing players and getting them to their ceiling. Let’s see how this plays out.
