2019 Transfer List



  • @HighEliteMajor It depends if it’s a repair or a trim job. Mine was just trimmed and I walked out of the hospital on crutches that I ditched after the next day. However 4 months later I still am a little stiff and probably need to start doing stretches. I’d say I’m 90% - much better than before the surgery, but still not quiet right.

    Not everyone is so lucky. Others get along better.

    Repairing the mensicus (stitching it back together) on the other hand has a ridiculously long recovery time.



  • HighEliteMajor said:

    Meniscus is tricky stuff … one of the biggest complications related to ACL recovery is if the meniscus was involved. That can add multiple months to recovery. It’s better long term to have an ACL tear with no meniscus, than just meniscus tearing (as all of you with meniscus issues surely know!). My daughter deals with that and it is not fun. My older son recovered from the ACL deal without issue. Obviously more traumatic when it happened, but he has no ill effects now. Except for soreness where the ACL was attached to the tibia with a screw.

    ACL is no good either -But I like I was saying I tore my Meniscus - and then turned around and re- tore it - - to go along with a torn LCL. - So I had my torn MCL & LCL both loads of fun lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • No idea what Simi Shittu is gonna do but he had a rough year at Vandy and they fired their coach. If he does transfer I’d be super interested.



  • @BShark

    Yeah I think he’ll go pro, not that he’s even close to ready. If he hits the transfer trail Self should be his first call.

    The Garland injury really messed up everything at Vandy. The PG makes that whole situation go (or not).

    If he can play next year I am interested.



  • @BShark

    Not sure. Trying to remember whether he redshirted



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    Affirmative



  • @FarmerJayhawk

    Thanks. I thought he did but I couldn’t remember specific.

    He is a good one





  • @FarmerJayhawk

    That was quick…wonder why



  • @BeddieKU23 it’s been in the works for awhile I guess. Probably just wants to play major conference ball for a year.



  • @FarmerJayhawk

    He is certainly good enough to do so. Made some tough shots today. His sidekick gave him no help



  • I’d imagine a lot of schools will be after him. Not a lot of guys can volume shoot 3s at that clip



  • @Kcmatt7

    Absolutely.

    I’d take him here in a heartbeat



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    @Kcmatt7

    Absolutely.

    hell ya. – -we need SOMEBODY that can shoot the ball - -this group we got right now is a joke



  • Can’t play behind him



  • Transfer List hits over 300.

    Another intriguing name. Daniel Utomi of Akron is grad transferring. Leading scorer at 14.2 ppg. Averaged 16ppg as a Soph. Made 93 3’s this season. 6’6 215, well built combo forward that rebounds well.



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    Interested in this kind of player big time.



  • Transfer list over 350.

    More names, Makai Ashton-Langford. Georgia making room for more Nike money kids. UNLV’s entire team. Dazon Ingram of Alabama.

    Xavier landed a quality big that is eligible in Ohio transfer Jason Carter, averaged 16 and 6.



  • IDK about transfers. They had better be a target like Malik and not a desperation grab like Charlie.

    It’s hit of miss. But look at all the transfers left in the Sweet 16 that are making big impacts

    Brandon Clarke started his career at San Jose St and is a Top 2 player at Gonzaga and will be drafted in the 1st round in June.

    Texas Tech’s 3-6 leading scorers are transfers

    Michigan’s 3rd leading scorer Charles Matthews transferred from Kentucky.

    Braxton Key plays a role on Virginia’s team.

    Paul White has been an intergral part of Oregon’s tournament success so far coming from Georgetown.

    Bigby-Williams for LSU

    Houston has 2 transfers in their rotation.

    Reid Travis at Kentucky

    Cameron Johnson of UNC is their leading scorer

    This.

    You have to be involved in the transfer market now. There is too much talent to ignore. People are scared of by Charlie, but they really shouldn’t be. Two years in a row we have had a transfer be one of our better players. And we had a very positive experience with Black.

    Every year there are quality guys, it is just picking and landing the right ones.

    I don’t think it helps the way we recruit though. We are always recruiting guys deep into April when all of this shakes out, so some transfers are scared to come here.

    Cunliffe didn’t work out too well either for recency.

    Some success stories are Withey, Black, Lawson, Newman. Self has usually targeted transfers from Power 5 or bigger named schools.

    I hope we take one grad transfer at least as well as a sit-out transfer. Not sure we’ll convince enough HS talent to come here at this point with the current situations going on. There’s a real chance only 5 Letterman return as it is. Best case reality type scenario seems to be around 8 + the two signee’s. I seem to repeat this every year but Self should sign as many 2019/20 eligible players as he can find. After that get 1 sit-out with experience to mold. One year was enough of having a young team. Self needs to get old no matter how



  • I agree that you have to play in the transfer market. As @BeddieKU23 said there are a lot of teams in the S16 that have transfers and would not be there without them. It is just the way the college game has gone. Now I do think Self got a little over zealous on that here in the last couple of years, but hopefully he lands some high level kids in the next month or so and doesn’t have to take on a bunch more.

    As far as Moore goes I think the staff just absolutely whiffed on him. They thought he was going to be a legit rotation guy averaging 10ppg. He flopped. It happens.

    If Self and his staff are not scouring every avenue possible to find a shooter then they are not doing their job. They absolutely have to find a grad transfer like Hoover from Wofford that can shoot.



  • Recruiting of any sort is hit and miss, high school or transfers. Obviously some 5* HS kids didn’t pan out either. But yeah, you have to play in that market now since so many talented guys transfer. You just have to do your homework and make the best judgment you can about what kind of player and person he is.

    I can’t believe I forgot Withey. So our last two FFs, we had a transfer play a huge role. Actually, that FF team with Withey also had Wesley and Young as well. 3 transfers that year.



  • lowa state 6-foot-9 sophomore bigman cam lard is transferring, source told @stadium



  • @Kcmatt7

    Forgot about Kevin Young

    He would probably be blocked in going to KU. but he is the kind of guy we need. Long, athletic, and can protect the rim.



  • I wonder if Kira Lewis would be interested? He may bolt after Avery got canned. KU was on him as a possible 2019 guy.



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    Would take in a heart beat.



  • @Woodrow Are you saying we have to play in the transfer market generally or specifically now to fill an obvious hole? The latter may be be necessary given where we are, but not sure I agree with the former as general proposition. Has UNC relied on transfers? Seems that Roy has done a pretty good job of keeping guys around for at least 2-3, if not 4 years - not relying on transfers and in many years, not very many of the top recruits out of HS.



  • @DCHawker His leading scorer this year is a transfer.



  • @Kcmatt7 Ha - I don’t want facts to get in the way of a good narrative… 😉 Thanks for setting me straight. But, has that been the rule or is this year an exception?



  • @DCHawker I am saying we should only take a transfer to fill a hole. Like next years team needs a shooter so we should be looking for a shooter. ( Next years team needs a lot )

    I am not advocating to become the next Iowa St. or transfer U, but I don’t think we should look at it is taboo and be afraid to take one every now and again. If Kentucky didn’t take Reid Travis they would not be in the S16 and contending for another title.



  • @DCHawker An exception. As has Reid Travis at UK.

    What is happening more and more though is teams are able to build a high caliber team with transfers, or in a case like this season, add that final piece.

    Nevada made a FF run around transfers. Houston has transfers this season. Nova won the Championship with one last season. Gonzaga went to the NC last season with a team based around transfers. It’s has really changed the game as of late.



  • Bucknell Transfer Nathan Sestina is taking a visit to Kentucky.



  • Isaiah Joe from Arkansas would be worth a look of he transferred out. 6-5 twig. Shot 8 threes a game at a .414 clip. Would have led KU in steals (although I’m sure a good chunk of that comes from the Mike Anderson system). Would have 3 years of eligibility left.

  • I count Lawson as a miss. 4 scholarship years tied up between Dedrick and KJ for one meh year from Dedrick that resulted in a third place Big 12 finish.



  • @dylans What more could Dedric have done than average a very efficient double-double and lead the team in scoring? Dedric was absolutely fantastic this season, imo.

    He has entered the transfer portal

    DO WANT. Plenty of size to play the 2 if he can get eligible immediately.



  • Kira Lewis is definitely a big time want.

    And wow at Lard transferring. Writing was on the wall this year with suspensions and less PT but he will be a good player for another program.





  • @BShark yeah Lard did not have a good go of it in Ames. So many suspensions. Also, can we not with Ryan? Not impressed.
