They preferred him over Mosley is what their 247 guy was saying a couple weeks ago.

Soooo you know how I said we were definitely done with transfers this cycle?

Teaser. Tune in later this week!
-
@FarmerJayhawk Pete Nance? Only name I can find out there right now and seems unc bound.
Who’s transferring out?
Doesn’t this signify maybe some open gym viewing has shown some things where Self wants more reinforcements?

Come on with it. Give it up. Inquiring minds want to know …
-
@kuballin10 is correct, it’s Nance. KU pushing to get him on campus. How all the numbers would work, I don’t know.
-
UNC getting a visit this week
-
Who’s Nance? Don’t recall his name…
-
Think he will end up at UNC.
-
@FarmerJayhawk words I don’t hear often here!
If you don’t have any inside info on who’s getting “the talk” then hard to believe we have any chance.
Makes me think either we aren’t confident in Udeh or something granted the Nance kid just from stats and some highlight videos looked solid.

Wouldn’t Nance be a 5? Jalen at the 3/4.

We could definitely use another 5 that could play. Nance is what people think Cam Martin is basically.
-
@BShark that’s not so great.

Not you, the delusional people that think Cam is good. Nance is good. If Cam is a factor we are in trouble but I believe Bill would play the FR bigs over Cam.

But he’s got tattoos.
Doesn’t that make him good?
-
I’m not saying he is good- - - - I’m not saying he is bad. - -My Question is IF Cam is bad – Why the hell did Bill take him ? - Had to be intrest. - So why would you take the guy if he isn’t worth squat? - Nobody told Bill he had to take hi , why waste the Scholi ?
Again I’m not saying he is good - -just honest curious questions
-
Bill makes mistakes, he isn’t infallible.
-
I think of Cam as like Hunter Mickelson. If that’s your 5th big man that is a luxury.
-
@Kcmatt7 Oh Lord, please do not resurrect the HM cheerleader!
-
@BShark agreed and as we all do. If he learns from it that’s the key.
In recruiting it’s like the nfl/nba draft and you have sure fire studs but even then sometimes they flop or don’t live up to the hype. It’s a crapshoot often.
Cam could flat out score and used his wide body in D2. Hard to ignore his numbers as say you throw Mitch down in D2 I doubt he’d produced like Cam.
You hit on most recruits or transfer and miss on a few as maybe they just aren’t cutout for it. Hope Cam proves us all wrong but between Zach and the two frosh studs who are athletic freaks hard to see much time there.

Agree. Not everyone on the roster has to be a P5 level starter and it’s hard to pull off. I think Kentucky only has 10 scholarship players next year.
@kuballin10 Mitch would have been a stud in D2 I feel. I was at the scrimmage yesterday (scorching hot ugh) and Zach is miles better athletically. Just watching them do the same kind of things, very telling.
-
@BShark pretty sure Duke has routinely had open scholarships.
Seems like those two schools do it so there is no question if the freshman have competition or not.
Bill has never been that guy obviously. You fill the scholarships and you fight for minutes. I get the other strategy, but you’ve seen it bite Duke in the ass only having 7 rotation guys and no depth behind it.
-
@Kcmatt7 Yeah, Bill’s approach is fine, it just leads to more “misses” when you take chances on guys and fill out the roster.
Cam’s issue is defense. He was a bad defender at the D2 level, so why Self took him I will never know.

And where did you get that anybody was saying that Bill doesn’t make mistakes ?

I don’t think Cam will see the floor a lot.- - just to much depth. - -I fully realize they were just scrimmages and kind of hard to gauge off these BUT I know this - - Zuby is a big boy and if we can get even half of that type of production from him or Udeh - -were going to be just fine with our bigs - you put those two in the Big position along with Zach - think the bigs are well covered
-
@BShark cause of his coach.
-
@jayballer67 100% agree I actually like how versatile the bigs are via each their own individual style of play. Allows us to play a lot of different ways offensively with Zach stretching the floor. This team is going to be fun to watch and hopefully we appreciate it because I’ll be the first to admit I had no belief in last years team that they could win it all. Last year has changed my mindset completely.
I’ve seen other teams get lucky and win but never us. After last year, I’ll hopefully be a little more positive around here.
-

I do think that was a big factor. Cam seems happy here, and the 13th player on the roster isn’t a big deal.
-
Cam also doesn’t want to leave his lady friend. Which, understandable.
-
@FarmerJayhawk so is she something else? I keep hearing about her.

Haleigh Harper if anyone wants to google/look. @Crimsonorblue22
-
The NCAA has recommended transfer windows for approval. Basically making certain periods for players to enter the portal
-
I don’t think Cam is on the roster to play. I think his job is to help develop the young bigs, help teach them the system, etc. I don’t think Cam on the team is a mistake by Bill- it’s intentional. We’re not playing 13 deep, why not take one of those spots and get a seasoned vet who won’t demand minutes to help coach up the highly ranked newbies? I don’t mark this down as mistake- I mark it down as we’re playing checkers while Bill is playing chess.
-
@Jethro Possible. And a guy like that gets to wear a ring just like the starters. Perfect for someone who knows his own limitations. Bonus when he does get to play.
-
@mayjay you mean 2 rings

If the rookies struggle or foul trouble arises, we have a Lightfoot light player who can play some minutes when needed. No matter whether he’s playing or not, he is contributing to the team.

KU tried with Nance, but he’s not leaving Chapel Hill. Not that I blame him. It’s a fine place to be except for today when it’s 100 and the heat index is like 110
-
I’d take that weather. Going to be 55 in my neck of the woods tomm
-
@FarmerJayhawk we had 1000’s of cattle die due to heat, humidity and lack of wind. My bro in law said they needed to feed them later too. He’s a rancher/farmer. It was gross seeing them all laying there dead.

I saw. SW Kansas got hit incredibly hard. Freaky weather event. I told my grandparents to head back to Colorado for awhile to avoid it

When you expect 80 85 this time of yr and have 6, 7 months of pure cold yeah I’ll trade anyday!
-
@FarmerJayhawk A vet was on tv tonight and said he said he’s only seen this twice, it’s a very rare weather phenomenon. It’s also very hard on the owners and the vets trying to help.
-
Our a/c went out. 97 now. On their way!

Yay, only a capacitor! Fixed now.
Heat sucks!

@mayjay good thing you won’t be like those cattle!
it really is a bad thing, shouldn’t make light of it. Pretty rough thing to see. The governor has stepped in to help.
