Opinion: Among talented newcomers, Joel Embiid is KU's X factor | KUsports.com

If he has a monster season, he leaves for the draft and likely gets picked top 5. I was really hoping to have him next year, but a monster season from him likely puts us in the Final Four again. Either way, I'm happy.

Always appreciated him on the staff. He is good at recruiting in part because he realizes all the resources he has, and is able to utilize them effectively.
