http://www.kuathletics.com/mensbasketball/...s/04_15_04.html David Padgett will leave KU at the end of the semester. Not sure where he is going to go, but UNC was the runner up in his recruitment, and he really likes Roy Williams.
I think this is what is going to make KU slip in the rankings a little bit to start off the season. He was supposed to keep up KU's frontcourt depth with Graves leaving. In the early rankings for last year thread I already stated that this is going to have a pretty hefty impact when he leaves, especially with the (not likely) possiblity that Simien leaves as well. They do have two decent recruits coming in, though, at the frontcourt positions so maybe I'm making too much of the impact this will have. I can kind of see that this was going to happen, too, since there was talk of Padgett leaving before the season even started once news broke that Williams went to UNC.
