Top 15 and couldn’t get tick at Nevada. 2018 was such a rancid class.
-
@Woodrow my wife is a Nevada fan and made me watch their games. Jordon brown in my opinion is nothing KU should go after for. He’s probably looking at Arkansas anyway.
-
TJ Holyfield will officially visit KU.
-
This transfer business is like the mafia, once you think we’re out, they pull us back in. Causes the potential for massive attrition when the transfers don’t stick around, making the staff need to get more transfers to stagger the open rosters with various classes and a decent depth of talent last minute.
Round and round we go.

Sort of. I mean there is no way they thought we’d be without Silvio next year. The entire FBI thing has absolutely killed us.

And @Kcmatt7 with the understatement of the year … what a mess this has been.

The only positive I can take from it is that it pissed Bill Self off enough to basically say he is going to be here awhile.
-
Next year might be rough.
-
@BShark Optimistically speaking, at least the 7 guys that we know will be on the roster next season are a good mix position-wise. We need to find 2 starters still though.

we need frontline help - - -BAD

Lots of minutes for a 2 and a 4. It may be hard to recruit the 4/5 spot with McCormack starting late and Dok/SDS still on the roster. If Dok comes back
that’ll nail down the 5 spot though.SIlvio’s plight is more interesting though. He is athletic and gaining experience in the system. I’m hopeful, though doubtful he gets some eligibility back for the second half of next season. If he’s on the roster he will drive away recruits, so there is major risk associated with Silvio as well.
-
I’m optimistic Doke returns. Last I knew the staff didn’t know whether he’d be back or not. KU is also well positioned with Hampton, Achiwua, and Dante. Also have a shot at TJ Holyfield, Rayjon Tucker, Daniel Utomi, and Tristan Enaruna.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Once concern I have for Doke returning … we focus all of our preseason efforts on feeding the post and playing through Doke. And then, when we get in a game with a team that plays small, Self lets the other team dictate the style of play and we’re in the same spot we’ve been in much of the time. And, of course, while I’m sure he’s been “really working hard” on free throws, he’ll be less than 50% again. Actually less than 40%. He was worse last season after supposed work than the year before.
-
@HighEliteMajor If Doke comes back next year, his free throw shooting will be so bad they’ll actually take points away from us every time he steps to the line…

To be fair, we didn’t lose a game with Doke this season. And we didn’t exactly play a softball schedule. And we made a FF built around him with a 4 out run and gun.
Doke is a stud. A defensive presence and an incredibly efficient scorer.

This. We were absolutely rolling with Doke last season. He’s just such a weapon on both ends in spite of all his flaws. He’s a huge upgrade over McCormack, who shot 60% from the line, not exactly a knockdown shooter.
-
Ok, so we know we don’t have near the talent we did in 2017-18, right? Not even close.
And when we won with Doke, we also had a relatively fully functioning Legerald Vick who had some out of his mind games. Probably fair to say we lose at least two early without him.
Getting Doke back is probably our only best hope.
But I do have the one concern I mentioned.
-
regarding Doke’s free throw shooting… didn’t the doctors insert a tiny device during his wrist surgery that can flick the ball with precise force to reach the basket from the foul line? He just has to hold his arm straight…
-
The Hauser brothers are transferring from Marquette. Both very solid players…

-
@Woodrow wow!

ya being said probably Villanova bound - -maybe Michigan State

BIG time transfers right there.

Yup, one play, one sits right

Both sit actually.

They would fit here though. Sounds like they didn’t want to play with Howard again. Just wanted to play good team basketball, not watch Howard play hero ball.
-
Transfer list over 650. Crazy

Bill should give them a call if this is the case.

Kerry Blackshear evaluating both grad transfer and pro options.

He would be the kind of addition that would make KU super salty next year. Hope KU gets involved.
-
No reason not to at this point. He’s better than Hurt will be.

Absolutely. He is better than any HS SR KU could add at this pt.
-
pay him whatever he wants to come here. I posted the comparison of stats between him and Lawson. Almost identical

Did it in the ACC and slightly better advanced numbers.
But yeah, w/e it takes.
-
He didn’t have as much usage as Lawson which was the only real difference. D Law had to carry a larger role then Blackshear did at Tech. Pretty much everything else was almost spot on. Would be a huge difference maker next year
-
Blackshear is much tougher
-
Can jump too

Most definitely my friend. - -I really don’t think we got much chance here but doesn’t hurt to try. - -What do we got to lose at this point? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Seems like KU has a real good shot at Holyfield fwiw.

well that may not be such a bad thing right?

Agreed. I think he’s best as a utility man off the bench. Bring back Doke, get Blackshear, sign Holyfield as the first big off the bench. Prosper.

Would be a high quality addition imo. We need some dudes in the front court for sure.

I would stab someone in a dark back alley to make this happen.

@BShark that’s why you are in prison!🥵

Akron grad transfer Daniel Otumi is headed to USC
-

@Crimsonorblue22 So’s my 3 year old.
-
To be honest, I’m just hoping for a couple more frosh (even 4 star) signees, a grad transfer and two jucos at this point and I’d be happy. SDS needs to leave, his appeal will be denied, the NCAA is going to make an example of him. But if anything were going to happen to Self, the program and the university he would have been ruled permanently ineligible. Did it hurt us (pun intended)? Yes. But we’ll be back, sooner - next year - rather than later.
-
Utomi to USC makes zero sense.
