KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread
-
@BShark Joe gets some run, but the freshmen may show him the door? I think Bobby loves Bill, would about have to push him out (just my perception).

@kjayhawks said in KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread:
We need some athletes guys and gals. Council and Davis were easily the most athletic on the floor, that lead to several offensive rebounds. We need guys that play above the rim!!
I would not have guessed they were nba prospects based on this one game. Davis got his and obviously they’re talented judging by the hype, but they didn’t pop to me. Tbf Gradey didn’t exactly jump off the screen either.

Tend to agree with this and don’t think Bob will get pushed out.
-
@dylans I would draft them before any guy on our roster. As much as I love Jwil he ain’t lasting in the NBA, Dick maybe if he can hit from the cold bench consistently.

Let’s start churning. 8 new faces next season would be my guess
KU only has 12 scholarships for next season so it’ll only be 8 if both Pettiford and Yesufu leave, 6 to 7 is the more likely number.

In those guys’ defense, don’t judge them based on that performance. The team ran nothing for them when it needed to and they could have helped.

I still can’t fathom how you pull Gradey right after he hits his first 3. Obviously I’m not a D1 coach but I just can’t justify it

Self’s not keeping both of them. At least one of them will transfer out.
If both stayed, KU would have 6 guys that are either a 1 or 2 and 3 guys that are a 5. That would only leave 3 spots for the the 3 and 4 spots. That would be a very small team and a team majorly lacking in scoring punch.

Coaches have been pretty consistent getting him some rest. So, who knows. Gradey 2.0 next year would be much better, on the floor more prolly.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I hear you. But I think 2.0 doesn’t happen because he isn’t apt to improve his stock enough to be worth the potential risk of not going lotto now. If he was to get injured, etc. CS will definitely tell him to go if he’s projected lotto
-
Im honestly worried we will be a average next season but that’s gonna happen at one point here

Bill’s floor is pretty high but let’s see who he portals for the starters.

Depending on the transfers, next year could be Self’s most offensively challenged team at Kansas.
-
@BShark a lot of stuff to be figured between now and then for sure.
-
I think most of the board will like the guy I expect we are getting.

Cuffe gone. Zach gone.

We are reigning national Champs for another 16 days. Let’s not lose sight of that

Clemence and Cuffe. I also don’t know if it’ll be Pettiford or Yesufu, but one of them is likely.
-
Be easier to deduce who will be back right? Lol. Harris, Adam’s, Udeh, and???
-
@cragarhawk Would expect Zuby to return as well.
-

Harris, Adams, Udeh, Ejiofor, 1 of Pettiford/Yesufu are the likely returnees. Since we don’t know what the issue with Rice, I don’t want to totally rule him out as staying, but would be surprised if he does.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 agree on MJ… sucks tho. Obviously talented. But doesn’t fit the system? Or coach? Idk. I’d be amazed if he doesn’t transfer. Self has been much higher on BP than I think anyone else is. I see him taking Bobby over Yes if he has to choose… but idk if that’s the right call or not.
-
I think MJ and Bobby stay. NIL is a big deal in these cases. Dropping a level also means a huge drop in income for these guys.
-
@BShark is he a freak athlete? If no, than forget it
Is he long? If no, than forget it
-
@FarmerJayhawk Bobby sucks - we need to push him out
-
@kuballin10 if he leaves it’ll be on his own accord. Gonna be a long offseason for fans who want a mass exodus.
-
@FarmerJayhawk hopefully Bill does so he can have legit athletes
-
@kuballin10 prepare to be disappointed. Maybe all offseason
-
Chemistry is important too! Really hurts if players are just in it for themselves. Right @BShark ?
-
@FarmerJayhawk that sucks than as hof’s job is to build the best roster not coddle kids who need to go to townsend
-
I am not entering the portal so I’ll be back. I’m not very athletic, more round than long.
It’s funny here how people just make predictions about so and so is gone or so and so is not going anywhere. Where are you getting this info? Jalen is the only for sure it sounds like? I’ve never heard anything definitive from Gradey. I’d guess he probably is, but his 2nd half soured some and he just might be the type who sticks around for more.
-
@wissox from @BShark and @FarmerJayhawk reading what they post
-
@kuballin10 you might want to tune out until 24-25 then if you want a bunch of run jump athletes starting ¯_(ツ)_/¯. I would actually bet next year’s roster has fewer combine athletes than this one. The skill level should be through the roof but a combine team we are not. Arguably our two best pure athletes (Cuffe and Yes) are probably gone.
@wissox Gradey and Kevin are 100% gone. Cuffe and Cam also out the door. TBD on the others but my guess is Zach and Yesufu are gone as well.
-
I don’t disagree with @kuballin10 we are lacking athleticism compared to a lot of teams. But athleticism isn’t everything in basketball. KU always has great players that’s why they are always good. I said once before on here we don’t match the athleticism of several B12 teams like TCU, Texas, KSU and Baylor notice we split with all those teams because when you don’t have that edge athletically your margin for error is much smaller. Obviously we win the league and beat those teams once. But You can’t have the mental mistakes we had today and win.
-
Why are JWil and Kev definitively gone is my question? Neither has to go. Neither is ready to go. Both will play most likely overseas. I guess this part I just don’t understand other than they’ve said they are going. But… why
-
@FarmerJayhawk I don’t want to be Kentucky with athletes and yet no skill there is a balance
We need long athletes. Cuffe is obviously bad, Joe isn’t 6-4 like Arkansas’ Davis
There is long and athletic plus quickness that all factor in
-
@kuballin10 like Kentucky?
-
@kuballin10 UK still in ATM just FYI. Lol
-
@cragarhawk 5 yrs
-
-
@cragarhawk red shirt?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 covid year? Neither is out of eligibility
-
4 yrs, one redshirt, j will
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Jwil could stay for 2 more years if I’m not mistaken. He broke his leg and could get a medical redshirt for it and add in a Covid year(listed as a junior). Kevin could have a extra year with Covid.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 read your mind huh
Bill with their talent (not this year) would have 3-5 titles heck he should have that here.
We should get the best players these next 4-7 years if Bill is here and yet Duke and uk and unc still load up…it’s pathetic
We’ve played them in champions classic and only once have we had the better athletes
-
@kuballin10 if BS had UKs, Baylor’s or Texas’ rosters he’s cutting down the nets this season.
-
@cragarhawk I’d assume they will make say $2-3m overseas versus say $150k-$300k here?
I may be off on numbers but I’d guess go make pro money now is more important
-
@kjayhawks exactly that’s my point so get out and recruit those type of athletes
Bill changed to 4 out now needs to change who he recruits
Can’t remember who said it whether here or 247 but Self was watching some high schools studs and honed in on Tyus Jones and how he controls the game. Give me the best player and make him great not some solid guy who isn’t the best.
Juan was great today but man we lacked big shots from a remy like last year to save us during droughts. Juan hit biggest one to get us to 54 but missing free throws and boarding defensively is why we lost
