"The Kansas Jayhawks have a problem. It's a problem every coach in the country would love to have, and how much of a problem it actually is can certainly be put up for debate. But even enviable problems can become major issues if not dealt with properly, and the circumstances surrounding this one make it even thornier.
Kansas' front court has six players deserving of minutes on any high-major team. There are only two spots on the floor for them. It's a mix that includes four veterans who average 4.5 years of Division I experience between them. There are also two freshmen who arrived at the program more highly touted than any of their elders.

Diallo fell all the way to No. 28 on Chad Ford's latest NBA draft big board after being a consensus lottery pick up to this point. Ford wrote: "Diallo has been horrible for Kansas in the early going, and unlike with (Kentucky's Skal) Labissiere, scouts can't point to a skill that would be unleashed in a different system."
......................
There's another issue at play, too. Kansas, which has signed six five-recruits over the last three seasons, only has one recruit signed for this next class: power forward Mitch Lightfoot, who is ranked in the 80s by ESPN. The Jayhawks are in on five-star center Marques Bolden, another potential one-and-done stud. But will Bolden really choose Lawrence after seeing what happened to Alexander and now Diallo?"
