Well if KJ leaves without daddy getting another job, he's sitting and losing a year. Regardless of the # of options. Most don't see that happening. So I don't think his suitors will really be known, other than schools offering daddy jobs for the young-uns - and that probably won't happen until 2018 at the earliest.

Having watched every game, I would've guessed them to be less than they are, too. Maybe it's WHEN he got them, because it sure didn't seem like he impacted a lot of games in a big way.
His stats certainly do not reflect his performance in the majority of the games. I can only think of one game in which he looked promising and had a complete game. That was the game against Oklahoma. He was on fire in that damn game. Where in the hell is that KJ?

He's a freshman in a lot of true ways and not a freshman in a lot of true ways, but the fact is he played 10 games before the injury and surgery, which sidelined him for a good bit and he wasn't even 100% by the time practice rolled around this year (quotes from Tubby in the CA that I'm not going to look up.)
So, while acclimating to college life and weights and whatever, he may not be a freshman, his experience level with on court experience was barely above that.
Agree to disagree...
I think his injury was oversold...Perfect time to pack it in was 10 games (1/3 of games played) to get the medical. We get put out in the first round of the conference tourney I think we play 30-31 games.
Okay, not going to argue with you, but here is the article:
K.J. Lawson:Out for three months following heel surgery
Posted on April 4, 2016 at 4:22 PM
Lawson is out for three months following heel surgery, CA Sports reports.
Lawson had surgery Friday to clean up heel spurs that prevented him from playing much of his freshman season. The 6-7 forward played in ten games for Memphis last year, averaging nearly 20 minutes, 8.8 points, and 3.5 rebounds per game. The soon-to-be sophomore is expected to apply for and be granted a medical redshirt which would give him another year of eligibility.
Oh I am not saying that nothing was wrong with him but if that team was ranked top 10 he likely plays that season...But hey I am just speculating.

It's no secret; was in CA-KJ could have played through pain and finished season then had surgery or do what he did and have surgery right away. No difference in being ready for this season.
