2024 Portal Madness Thread
-
Don’t need the drama , he is nothing special - just a media show following him for the name and his health issue he had — -No Thanks
-
@FarmerJayhawk why do u think he’s leaving?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 probably because Enfield left for SMU. Might be good for him to get away from Dad too
-
Seems like the staff is serious trying to find that 3rd big man. -Might be a nice quality depth guy, KU has reached out to Christ Essandoka a 7 ft freshman in the portal from St Joesph.–Quality player to back up share with Flory , averaged 8.2 ppg in his Fr Season & 5.7 rpg- - has 3 years left, article saying he could turn into a pretty good player over time. --Shot the 3 some , pretty decent but not high volume 3 by any means–made 36.8 % from the 3 but shot only a couple per game- - might be a nie piece for back up
-
Yeah his film is intriguing

ya it is, might be some decent depth coming in for some minutes of the bench
-
Anyone know if Hall from Clemson might portal? I love his potential but needs good big man coach. He participated in Senior Night but is only projected as a late 2nd rd pick. Eligible for 5th season, could get polished somewhere else…
-
Is KU recruiting Johnell Davis? Seems like the team could use another 2 guard.
-
Guess he wants to play “on the ball”
-
Just announced that Ayoka Lee for KSU was granted a 7th year of eligibility smh that’s ridiculous to me.
-
Omar Ballo of Zona in the portal.
A literal huge one
-

very decent , don’t think he would want to come off the bench though
-
Tramon Mark, leading scorer of Arkansas in. Formerly at Houston. Don’t anticipate KU going after
-
Read where KU has reached out to Norte Dame forward 6’10 Carey Booth , would be strictly for depth to spell KJ and Hunter it said. Shooting was not impressive but got better towards the end , decent rebounder, and averaged like 2 blocks ppg. - Again just strictly spot relief not a lot of minutes-- -but depth
-
USF wing and Conference Player of the Year Chris Youngblood in.
-
@BeddieKU23 Saw a tweet comparing him to Doke.
-
Ballo?
Very accurate, huge human with similar skills. Double double machine, can’t shoot FT’S AND high fg%
-
Kylan Boswell from Arizona in. Very surprised here. Good player. Not sure we have the means to get though
-
Mark Mitchell from Duke in…
-
Aden Holloway of Auburn in. Another big one
-
Tennessee forward Tobe Awaka in
-
Indiana St star Robbie Avila in the portal.
-
To the experts:
Currently which players in the portal are on KU’s wish list.
-
@AsadZ as of right now I think Small from OSU is the only 100% take
-
Boy , you talk about taking a kick to the nads- – -how would you like to lose ALL FIVE of your starters in ONE day.- -ALL FIVE STARTERS and then on top of that you lose three others–That’s exactly what happened to Indiana State— Mercy talk about having a rough day.
-
Mark Mitchell of Duke is from KCK. Do we pursue?
-
@Jhawk69 him and KJ are the same player except mark is longer. Not a fit
-
KU will not recruit Mark Mitchell.

Storr perhaps but I think he ends up elsewhere.

He doesn’t do anything for me, hoping we don’t try for
-
So far Dillingham- -entering NBA draft - -Bradshaw – entering portal - - Quaintance -re-opening recruitment - Knox - -De -commit - - - Hart —Portal on, & on , & on
-
@BShark There’s this about Storr. In the 2nd half UW was making a run on James Madison, cutting it to three. Made a stop and then missed what would have been a big 3 tying it up. JMU races downcourt past a jogging and indifferent Storr and made a wide open 3. Game, season over. He’s not Jayhawk material.

I don’t like him at all, but the staff seems to be recruiting him.
-
Here is ANOTHER lol - -Top 50 recruit Somo Cyril asking for release of LOI and is re-opening recruitment from Kentucky, This makes Seven
-
Whats our interest level in Ballo? Gives me some Dok flashback vibes watching his game.
-
@RockkChalkk Not on the same planet as Udoka’s senior year defensively. Maybe a target if Hunter leaves.
-
@BShark what is the latest on Hunter? I keep hearing Furphy is gone no matter the pick
-

Still think Hunter will be back

RYLAN GRIFFEN WATCH TIME.
BRING HIM HOME BILL
There is legs to this one already
-
Heard off locked on Jay Hawks podcast about the possibility Colby Rogers from WSU , I guess there has been some talk of possibility- -should we have any interest ?
Got decent stats , might be good for depth.- - 16.4 ppg --shot the ball pretty decently . --41 % fg shooter ----- BUT 41.9 from the three- -something we didn’t have one of our problems last year - -again he shot 41 % from the three. That percentage was on pretty good volume too a he averaged right at 7 attempts pre game -w hardly shot that many as a team last year - -he averaged seven per game. – - he was an 83 % free throw shooter --BUT here is something too he was a or made 47 % of his threes on spot up three’s
Plus for his career he is a 39.2 % three point shooter hitting 39.2 % on 672 attempts. Might be good for a depth piece.
-
@jayballer67 there was some early interest but (assuming we get Griffen) there won’t be a spot left

Ahh Rylan Griffin ? - - read from the banquet last night Coach Self was saying they were looking for 3-4 players hopefully from the portal

Isn’t Rylan from Alabama ? - -could be wrong
-
@jayballer67 that’s the one. As of right this second we’re at 13 scholarships so 1-2 more would have to leave to make the numbers work. McDowell and Furphy are the obvious candidates. If both leave and we get Griffen that might be the 12 we roll with come fall

You think there is a decent chance we get Griffin ?- -He is a wing right ?
-
@jayballer67 I’d say we’re the favorite right now, yeah

Awesome, team him with the other two if it happens , would say pretty solid core from Portal.
I think Zach - -& Jamari are gone-- little sad for Jamari, but just basketball world I reckon

We are at 12 unless I missed somebody here
Juan/Mayo/Kugel/KJ/HD Flory/Kease/Philon/Elmarko/Zach/Jamari/Furphy
That said Furphy is outta here.
