Bryson Buckingham was added to the roster (#0 - 6-2, 170 lb. freshman from Edmond, Okla.). His commitment was mentioned on the recruiting forum recently.

Speaking of offseason additions, per IG, it appears Jizzle James added a "21" tattoo across the front of his neck/over his throat.

On the latest BCJ podcast, Chad Brendel shared some of what he's heard from summer workouts and it sounds as though Keyshuan Tillery has been very impressive.

A lot fans have been quick to write off Tillery for this coming season due to the wealth of ability/experience ahead of him with Jizzle, Day Day, and Kriisa. 247 has him ranked #57 in the 2025 class whereas Jizzle was #80 out of high school. Tillery was clearly brought in to have a role for next season. Wes will make it work.

I am anxious to see KT in action. I hope he does extremely well this upcoming season.

My guess is that Baba Miller, Thiam, Thomas, and James are going to get the first crack at earning a spot on the starting five. Who is likely to get the first crack at the 3? I truly hope that politics, favoritism, and NIL money do NOT influence the coaching staff's starting five and rotational choices. For coach Miller, there is no return if he chooses wrong on who the starters and main rotational guys are. That last starter may boil down to either Celestine or Harris at the 3.

I read previously on this thread that McKinley's weight is up 15 pounds. Did I read that right? Does that mean that McKinley is now up to 255? If that is correct, McKinley may be tough to handle in the paint.

I think this qualifies as roster discussion. Let's be honest our point gaurd play left something to be desired last season. But I am intrigued by newcomer Kerr Krissa. He put up decent points and assist numbers at WV and Arizona.He certainly has plenty of Big 12 experience.I hope coach Miller will give him a fair shot. Maybe he can do more than just dribble around the perimeter. Any experience watching KK ? ( Wow, that kind of sounds bad!)
