The Kansas men's basketball team is expected be good next season; KU not only is ranked No. 1 in NBC Sports' updated preseason poll, but it also has taken the top spot in previous rankings put out by ESPN, CBS Sports and Yahoo.
What's fascinating, though, is that KU has held that position with a fairly obvious weakness: outside shooting.
For help with that deficiency, KU pursued Albany grad transfer Joe Cremo before he committed to Villanova earlier this week. Though the Jayhawks will likely continue looking for options to fill their open scholarship, it's getting less likely they'll be able to address that particular shortcoming with an addition who would be eligible immediately.
