Portal hitting 850 today and beyond. Notables from yesterday
As mentioned before Jaemyn Brakefield from Duke
Miller Kopp- Northwestern (2nd leading scorer)
Cameron Johnson- Stephen F Austin (15ppg 2nd leading scorer)
Marcus Tshonis- Washington (2nd leading scorer)
Washington St transfer Aljaz Kunc goes to Iowa St (6ppg)
Shavar Reynolds- Seton Hall (7ppg)
Jason Carter- Xavier
Oliver Maxence Prosper- Clemson
Race Thompson- Indiana (9 ppg)
Parker Stewart- Indiana (was sitting out)
Abdoul Karim Coulibaly- Pittsburgh (5th player to leave)
-
I saw Slater sent out a tweet mentioning their is going to be quite a few players leaving Michigan St and UNC. Which I found interesting. I’d guess the portal ends up at 1300 or more…
-
Interesting to note if not already mentioned, Mckissic won’t count against the scholarship count since he’s already a Sr. Added benefit here
-

Yeah this one is a no brainer. Won’t scare off TyTy or Pettiford either.

I’m not entirely sure about this. The guidance kind of makes it sound like the player doesn’t count only if returning to the same school. Compliance departments still aren’t quite sure.
-
If you believe the “KUInsider” account Self is slowplaying McKissic hoping to get Walker.
Someone I do believe is Bossi, who said KU wants a one FR guard and one older transfer guard.
-
Former Bryce Thompson teammate Trey Phipps leaving Oklahoma
Elijah Olaniyi of Miami. Averaged 10 and 5.
A really intriguing big just hit the portal, Qudus Wahab from Georgetown. The 6’10 behemoth averaged 12 and 8 and 1.6 blocks. He was a force in the paint for Ewing. Born in the same city as Udoka Azubuike

Have Udoka call this kid. He would THRIVE under Bill.
-
Watched him in the Big East tourney, he’s definitely Bill’s guy. I don’t expect we’ll shake that tree, Wahab is good enough to start anywhere
-
More…
Jimmy Nichols- Providence (kind of long athlete that kills KU)
Josh Carlton- UConn
-
@BeddieKU23 Plenty of PT to be had here though tbh. Dave is best used 20 mpg.
-
Doke to the curtesy phone re: Wahab
-
I agree. Thinking he doesn’t transfer where he’d be 2nd fiddle though. We’ll see what happens there
-
Isaiah Wong “weighing options”… Self get the batphone out…
-
Note Wong will submit paperwork for the draft, no idea if he will stay in school or transfer but most of the Miami team has ghosted Larranaga so it’s something to watch
-

Wahab’s advanced numbers aren’t great. Dave is a lot better in PER, block % is about the same. They’re about identical on ORtg and DRtg. Pretty similar on WS. Maybe he’d be better on a better team? Idk. He’s definitely A LOT better than Mitch, Curry, et al
-
Yeah I think Wahab is looking for a team that will make him a bit better, Georgetown was a jack the 3 team for the most part. He’s only a Soph so room to grow.
-
Dam Matthews from West Virginia transferring - - WHY ?
-
Free agent szn
-
Just to much stuff going on with KU right now lol, makes this old man’s head spin - - -Searching for New A D - - New Foot Ball Coach – Possible transfers - - New recruits - -Can’t keep up lol. - -All these transfers just nuts
-
@BShark This is craaaazy. I can see why a lot of mediocre coaches did not want this.
-
Well in all Seriousness now and being totally honest - -in your opinion would would you want Walker ? - -OR Washington ?- -& don’t say Washington just because it now sounds like Walker not coming here. - - Is Washington a better player ? - -Still doesn’t mean he comes here by any means.
I thought we were in good shape for Walker and NOW I hear it’s Michigan State probably
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Anybody think greggggg will get hired anywhere?
Noooooooooo , not yet anyways, made a bad name for himself with this whole WSU ordeal - might take a bit – I just think it’s to soon unless a lower level job

Kansas has a really good shot with Washington
-
Kansas will have a virtual meeting with bobby pettiford jr today at 4pm
-
Very much want Pettiford
-
Why did Pettiford decommit?
-
@Kcmatt7 The assistant coach who recruited him left.
-
@Woodrow thanks
-
Pettiford’s tape looks so much better than 91st in the Nation. Would like to see Bill close this one.
-
Washington is a dynamic 3 level player tho
-
Casey Morsell of Virginia and Ques Glover of Florida in the portal. 700 more to go lol
-

Porque no los dos? Tyty can be the Devonte to Pettiford’s Frank

would still be good if we could get Washington/Pettiford
-
Yea I don’t look at them as being mutually exclusive either.
-
I could live with Washington /McKessic too. - could give you quality relief role - -50.8 % from the two - -& 43 % for 3 - - wouldn’t sneeze at that really good defensively - I would take that

Believe the staff will be taking one FR and one veteran transfer. Bossi mentioned this on 247 that they don’t really want two FR.
Don’t think you could go wrong with TyTy or Pettiford tbh.
-
Like, I mean…I don’t get his ranking either.
-
Pettiford is a slightly more athletic Dotson. I’m good with him too
-
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

TyTy and Pettiford offer what we have really been missing, what Dotson provided… The ability to quickly find gaps/creases and create offense.
-

Got some explosiveness to him - -not as quick as Devon BUT who was lol , for sure looks like he can get to the rim - - penetrate
-
Old friend Noah Locke in the portal.
-

Old friend Noah Locke in the portal.
Definitely does not fall under the “we have to get longer and more athletic” criteria

Yeah, I like who the staff has targeted. If we get one of TyTy/Pettiford and one of Walker/McKissic we will be a real contender imo.

Jemarl Baker going for the elusive third college pay day.

Yes but he doesn’t solve any of our issues. He is short and not athletic.
-
Yes believe we recruited him a bit
