2021 Transfer Talk/List

@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
If we don’t go after Johnson, I’m worried a better option may not come.
At the same time - you have to ask the question if he is really that much more of a positive on the court than just playing Harris. If you don’t think he is much of an upgrade (stats with Johnson are definitely misleading) than I get why we aren’t pressing hard.
I want Johnson though. He is a high level athlete and I think Bill could probably get more out of him than Capel. Turnovers and shot selection are an issue, but we just do not have anyone on our roster that can go fetch a bucket the way Johnson can. He is a playmaker on the floor.
At the same time, the staff probably pays good money to have sources with ears to the ground about who they think ends up shaking loose. They may have a target in mind already.
He is a real target.

Absolutely this team needs a PG.
Harris has had his moments this season but he needs more development before we rely on him 30 minutes a game. The better question is, without getting a PG who’s his backup. That’s even scarier.
Harris is best as a back-up imo.

@BShark would take
-
Storm is a very good shooter. Haven’t seen him this yr but from what I remember, not a great athlete below the rim type guy but certainly knows how to run a team.
-
Hes absolutely the type of shooter that this team needs. 2.9 made 3s a game. He’s a really gifted shooter
-
Another year of development and I think its worth the discussion if he can start here. But it all comes down to him becoming a 100% more aggressive and gifted offensive player. His defense, his passing, his IQ are all good enough but if he doesn’t find a way to score its just hard to see him having an expanded role
-
@BShark Probably a VT lean. Strong connection there with the Coach being the old Wofford coach.

Portal gained 40-50 names yesterday.
One to note
Greg Parham, PG, VMI- 18.4 ppg, 4 ast, 43% 3pt%
6’4, 64 made 3’s on 48% FG%.
Twelve 20 points games this year including a stretch of 7 straight.
I think this one ends up at a big school…

Dang buddy he sound like he would be a really good get for someone , you would think out of all these transfers surely would could get ONE, and this one would be a great one fill that PG spot we need
-
I think he’s the best one that’s entered the portal so far. His film is nice
-
There is no way with all of these transfers entering the portal this year that we aren’t able to nab one of them.

I hear ya buddy, that’s what I’m talking about too. - -I mean ya the cloud of the pending NCAA crap has hurt but yet surely out of all these kids. IF we really want a quality player , out of ALL THESE GUYS you mean to tell me that there is NOT ONE that would want to come and get the chance to play for one of the most historic Blue Bloods that has some of the greatest fans and tradition? - If that’s the case someone is not doing their job

Wow. Dead eye shooter.
-
Probably not KU level but PG Stef Smith of UVM hit the portal today. Really solid performer for them for 4 years. Good shooter (42% from 3 as a Jr), numbers dipped a bit this year with their shortened season. Tough kid should end up a decent school
-
Transfer market approaching 400
-
KU hasn’t reached out to Justin Powell. 20+ have
-
@BeddieKU23 No point wasting time on that one imo

Hit the portal just today, so I’m not quite sure. I hope they reach out.

Cam’ron Fletcher entering transfer portal - no surprises there.

Official today. Good call!

@BShark that looks like a Bill Self PG.
-
The first step after a dribble is on the line of elite

Both parties are quite interested, from my understanding.

Slater bomb https://twitter.com/andrew__slater/status/1371249756543008769?s=21
You do in fact love to fucking see it.

Earl Timberlake of Miami is transferring. Played only a handful of games due to injuries, was a Top 40 recruit and highly coveted one at that. Was mocking in the first round of drafts before the season. Imagine he’s going to be one of the top 5 guys on the market Says he’s open to anyone, his recruitment first time around was shall I say interesting, if you catch my drift

Should definitely be a very open recruitment.

Bad Gordon is leaving KSU.

Portal approaching 450. Fireworks!
-
Bad boy George Papas of Monmouth also in the portal. Hope he gets that s*** sandwich on the way out

Like Slater said, LM and MM are going to be feeders for the big boys. There will be a ton of player movement this offseason.
-
@BShark Thankfully we are in a much better spot than UK or Duke. We really are just hunting for a PG.
I’d love to find another quality big, but if we land Walker we have a super well rounded roster going into 2021-2022.
-
Are we expecting Syndey Curry to actually make it to campus? Seems like there will be better options in the transfer market.

We got one, actually.

Yes. And idk, Dave is clearly going to start. I think Curry is serviceable as a back-up and it would be hard to get a total stud to come in to back-up Dave.
I agree KU could do better, but it’s a tough sell.
-
@BShark Well it isn’t done yet… But Walker/Self seem like a match made in heaven.

Just politely waiting.
And yeah, the exact type of PG that Self loves. Undersized scorer that defends.
-
@BShark When I saw Xavier Johnson my first thought was “he’s too tall for Bill to like him at PG.”
