2019 Transfer List
-
Akron grad transfer Daniel Otumi is headed to USC
-
Blackshear is much tougher
@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.

Seems like KU has a real good shot at Holyfield fwiw.
you don’t say???

Let’s keep track, shall we? JRE, gone elsewhere. Williamson, gone elsewhere. Hall, ditto. Hurt, yep, gone elsewhere. Three out of those 4 along with Braun and McBride sure would’ve been nice. We dropped the ball bigtime in recruiting this year. Hell, Hall and Williamson were all but begging to be Jayhawks, and I think JRE bolted due to our infatuation with Hurt. Let’s hope that coach Self has learned something (regardless of whether we land Precious and Hampton at this point) from all of this. I sure as the hell have.

The rumor is that Self screwed the pooch with Sam by pushing too hard for a commitment on the visit. Ticked off his mom.
With JRE his mom is part of one of the absolute biggest KU families there is. It seems likely to me that they might have bought into the Self leaving rumors that were hot and heavy and that could be a big reason we lost JRE.
Missing on two legacy recruits is pretty rough for sure.
Definitely didn’t show enough interest in Hall.
-
@BShark Sorry, what “Sam” are you referring to?
-
Recruiting this year has been depressing af. Legacy misses. Top target missed. USA Basketball bearing no fruit. Duke is going to steal Stanley away last minute. We clearly wasted time on guys like Wiseman we knew we had no shot at.
Really just an all around suckfest.

Sam Williamson, ended up at Louisville.

Yeah it’s a steaming pile, hopefully Self salvages something.
On the last part, I never understood it. I guess because Self ended up with Wiggins and Josh he feels he has to try in any recruitment.
-
@BShark I guess. You just knew that we were out of that one from the second they hired Penny. I would have been fine going head to head with just Cal. But there was just too much pressure on the kid to stay home.
I bet Self really wishes he would have just given Nnadji what he wanted now though…
-
Crazy to think Will Wade got reinstated. Was really hoping to poach some LSU and Arizona guys.
-
@BShark Yes. And Wiggins and Josh had such a huge impact on the University of Kansas. He should definitely try diligently to get more of those types of players…

Very nice, my friend.

Just think about the counterfactual of not having Wiggins or Josh and who we’d run out there. Starting Brannen Greene and Carlton Bragg all year would not be ideal.
-
@FarmerJayhawk The Josh year would have majorly sucked without him.

Sums it up perfectly.
A real suckstorm
-
@BShark, @FarmerJayhawk Josh was a good guy, good player. 31-5 is not bad for a lot of teams…
My point is - hang on to your seats - i don’t like the whole idea of OAD’s. Wiggins is a prime example. If you watched that whole season, most of the time you were looking at whomever you were watching the game with and asking them, or yourself "why isn’t this guy playing 100%? Is he hurt? Is he lazy? Is he protecting the goods?
I never got that feeling from JJ. He was a ball player. He hustled. He got his teammates involved. He was fun to watch. Ever wonder where we’d be if he were a senior this year? Oh My!!
-
We’d be hanging a banner with a SR Josh and everything else being equal but in that theoretical world more short term players would be staying in college I imagine.
-
@BShark said “more short term players would be staying in college I imagine.”
I never really thought about that. Shoot yeah. 18 year olds are pretty impressionable. So, if Zion had stayed this year, it might have sparked a whole new generation of kids who think “it must be cool to stay in college - Zion did it!”.
Dang you Zion.

Ku has reached out to St. John’s transfer LJ Figueroa. Averaged 14ppg 6 boards this past season. Former top 100 recruit
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’d still like to think about a season with a healthy embiid! Wiggs was also our best defender.

Wouldn’t help next year (has to sit) but would be a great addition.
58% from 2, 38% from 3.

He is a good sized wing. Can shoot. Just saying he can shoot is an upgrade. I’d love for him to be one of the transfers we land. Who knows though.
-
Jemarl Baker Jr is transferring from Kentucky. Sat his freshman year with knee Injury. Didn’t see a ton of action as a freshman but he did play well in the NCAA tournament. Kid can shoot it. Would be an intriguing sit-out candidate

Pass.

Hell no.

How come??
I just think he sucks from everything I watched this season.
-
Wow, no wonder Beard was still cruitin 2019 class and transfers.
Found it odd he didn’t play this year even knowing he was injured. Wonder where he lands, I’d assume in the SEC
-
Austin Trice is transferring from KSU. Iirc Frazier brought him in so VT could be the spot.
-
Well maybe we will hear something before long as possible transfer coming to join JayHawk Nation.
Tristan Enaruna - -is suppose to make his visit on the 28th of April and then - - -TJ Holyfield is suppose to be making a visit really soon.
Holyfield 6’8 - - - has Illinois - - - Miami - - - Oregon - - Texas Tech - and Ku as his 5 Schools. - He Visited Texas Tech this past weekend on Saturday and stated he was following his visit right up with them - -to visit KU.
Pretty decent shooter , shot 54.8 % - -from the field - - - 41% - -from the 3 pt - - and a 74.8 Free Throw shooter. - - so maybe a possibility between these two - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well I guess actually Holyfield is on the KU campus today. Has already visited Miami - -and then visited Tech this past weekend. - Still has visits to Oregon & IllInois - maybe we can pull him in. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Correct. Trying to close on him before visiting those last two would be massive. Don’t want him to make the ILL visit especially if possible.
-
TCU has taken 2 sit-out transfers already. Keonte Kennedy of Xavier and Kevin Easley Jr of Chattanooga. Interesting choices
-
-
Kerry Blackshear -"Extremely high basketball IQ, can rebound in his area, has a mean streak and toughness about him.”
This is the only guy I want. Smart and mean. Bring it.
-
@nuleafjhawk #1 rated transfer of the 800+. I want him too. Guess who’s ranked #2…Tucker.
-
Looks like the Hauser brothers from Marquette are visiting Wisconsin, Virginia, Iowa, and Michigan st.

They have to sit, but they can really shoot it.
-
@dylans He would be fine - as long as he’s 6’10", 250# and has a mean streak…
I REALLY want a “mean streak” guy. Kansas is getting a reputation for being “soft”. It’s true.
Do they keep stats for technicals? I want to lead the country in technicals.
-
Transfer List has hit over 700 officially. No end to the madness.
Arizona picks up Kansas St killer Max Hazzard. Have no idea why he went there with Mannion, Josh Green, Williams and more on the roster.
-
@nuleafjhawk Soft? Not a long term problem as I recall.
-
@dylans Maybe it’s just my perception. I want hard nosed, Russ Robinson, Jerod Haase, T-Rob kind of players. Well, they all played their butts off, hard nosed players, but really I’d like a couple of guys that the other team would GULP and maybe pee themselves just a little when they stepped out on the court.
I mean, so maybe they’ve done a little time, maybe they had really, really good lawyers and they have multiple tattoos - - cut that part - - - every player in the NCAA has multiple tattoos (so do i ) - but you know what I mean.
No nonsense, intimidating, DUNKING - instead of layups, swat the ball into the stands (even when it makes more sense to tip it to another player) - guys that just command respect and a little bit of fear.
-
@nuleafjhawk I think you’re on to something. A lot of soft layups off the glass. Dedric didn’t bring that attitude. Grimes certainly not. I think Vick and Doke did, and I think Dotson and Agbagi did too. But tough is good. Tarik Black mode. Good dude, but a bad a**.
-
Seventh Woods leaving UNC. Big disappointment for them.
Could see Dooley or Martin get him I think he’ll be a solid contributor somewhere.

Can’t blame him honestly. He’s been recruited over every year he’s been at UNC. Honestly if he’s a grad transfer I wouldn’t mind taking him just for depth. We really lack ball handlers (among other things) right now.
