Transfer Rumblings
-
@Kcmatt7 I like this lineup A LOT. Very balanced, very high BBIQ. And old, but not necessarily at the expense of talent. Probably not much NBA talent that’s a trade off we have to make these days
-
@Kcmatt7 Synergy agrees btw. 92nd percentile in spot up threes as a Sophomore (in his correct role that he would be reclaiming at KU) and grades out as a very good defender. Can’t stress enough how shitty the Ole Miss coaching staff was.
-
We still need some athleticism sans Udeh, KJ and Elmarko.

Marcus, Murrell. Other than that not sure we will have a ton. Jones and Ingram don’t really pop there nor does the big man we are pushing to get a visit from.
-
Believe we’ll hear early this week on MJ and Cuffe

EOD tomorrow on MJ. RUMBLINGS.

So is the rumor Murrell done deal to KU?

Need to see Win Case not retained in any fashion by Ole Miss. Beard will be putting his new assistants in place soon.
-

Boom!
Murrell a former top 40 kid from IMG.
140 made 3’s. Career 77% FT shooter, got to the FT line 200 times in the last two years. Harris for example has been to the line just 81 times in 3 years.
Shooting numbers and PER definitely impacted by playing out of position and on a bad team.

More pointing towards Bill wanting another big.
-
@BShark Gotta wonder what the system is for “contacting” guys in the portal. Hard to tell what REAL interest looks like. If we are looking at 20 players but have 4 spots, who is really at the top of the pecking order? Same for the player. If you are listing 25 schools, might as well not list any, right?
When is the deadline to transfer? Like, when does the portal CLOSE?
I think another big is probably a good idea with both Cam and Zach leaving. Udeh and Zuby are both unproven and KJ is really more of a 4 than a 5. Wouldn’t be my TOP priority though.

I like it. Shedrick was good in 21-22. Really athletic dude that can do rim run.
-
Well this is an absolute kick in the nads if true. - - Vernon just tweeted from ( Leon Devon Taylor ) must be Ol Miss reporter. - -Anyways it said that : - Matthew Murrell WOULD NOT be entering the portal. New Coach Chris Beard has made Murrell feel confident about the future of the Rebels.- - IF TRUE - -this sucks as Vernon says - If true relevant - pertains to KU-- well dam
-
Khalif Battle states. : - -I took my 1st official visit this weekend. - -NO COMMITMENT. he appreciates UCF but will still be exploring my options. - - If it’s not coming from me - - it’s not true
-
Well… so much for Murrell
-
-
@Woodrow Damn.
-
@benshawks08 to enter I think is in mid May. But you’ll have guys enter, go through the draft process, and pick a school up through June
-
@benshawks08 pay attention to visits.

Not sure he’s a real target. Ike and Reynolds are.
-
Names to watch. Only taking one CG and one big. If MJ stays (not decided) only taking one wing.
Wing: Spencer Jones, Harrison Ingram
CG: Khalif Battle, TJ Bamba
Big: Graham Ike, Jamille Reynolds

@BShark Who was the Pac12 player of the year last season? Maybe they’d like some tv time. Lol
-
@BShark So are you insinuating that Cuffe is staying?

No? If he goes along with MJ we have room for 4 guys. We want him gone. MJ is the flex spot and hasn’t actually decided yet though there are rumors swirling.

Oh. I read your post as only taking 2 guys and if MJ stays only taking 1. If we are assuming KCJ is leaving we have room for 3 regardless of MJ.

Yeah taking 3-4 guys. Whether or not we add 2 wings depends on MJ since we view him as a wing not a guard.

Reynolds if he dropped some weight would work

from these names buddy , myself I would prefer Spencer Jones - - - -TJ Bamba - - - & Graham Ike – thank you lol

Big weekend coming after the dead period ends.
-
@BShark how many guys you think we get?
-
Cuffe still hasn’t announced anything right? Is he planning on staying?
-
We we are losing
- Jalen (feels DONE) WING
- Kevin (Pretty sure is gone) WING
- Cam BIG
- Zach BIG
- Joe GUARD
- Bobby GUARD
- MJ WING
- Gradey (most likely) WING
Unsure about Cuffe. (Guard)
And then are adding:
- Elmarko GUARD
- Chris Johnson WING/GUARD???
- Mark Adams WING
- Jamari McDowell WING/GUARD???
With the lost scholarship, that leaves room for 3 transfers for sure. 4 if Cuffe also goes.
Is that math right?
Subtracting 4 Wings, Adding 1-3,
Subtracting 2 bigs, adding 0,
Subtracting 2 guards, adding 1-3.

@benshawks08 we will definitely add a big based on who we are meeting with
Than 2 wings and 1 combo guard per bshark

4 available once Kyle leaves. 4 returnees, 4 signees, 4 transferees

Yes 2 wings 1 cg 1 back to the basket skilled big

Bshark is never wrong he’s Tyler Self posing as bucketeer!
Appreciate the insight TS!
In all seriousness, mcd’s class had some crazy athletes but after seeing this year 22-23 year old men win the tourney I think a mix of 4 returnees, 4 frosh and 4 transfers is solid. I’d take the older senior who tests the nba and comes back for 1 year over the 18 year old mcd
-
@kuballin10 My concern is that is a lot of NEW on the floor for us next year. That’s the biggest reason I keep thinking KJ will play the 4 some if not a lot. It’s the only way to get 3 players with Bill Self experience on the floor at the same time.
Yes, Remy was new and made a huge impact, but none of that came until March. Kev and Gradey made big contributions as newbies this year but I think we can all agree Gradey is SPECIAL and Kevin was basically the best possible fit for a Bill Self transfer anyone could imagine. Will be interesting to see if any of the newbies have the constitution to be the type of player you have to be to get on the floor for a Self coached team. I think the 4 returnees will all play a major role. Hoping Elmarko is also SPECIAL. Not sure any transfer out there will FIT like Kevin did but hopefully they can grow into contributors by the end of the year. Could be a rough start to the season…
-
I get the concern about how many newbies we’ll have. Still returning the same amount of starters at least but a lot less filler in the reserve pile. The main difference this year will be bringing in 4 transfers but needing all of them to be difference makers and rotation pieces. I think we can safely shoe-in Elmarko for a major role like Gradey was able to carve out. The other 3 will probably be like Rice/Udeh/Zuby- hopefully one emerges as the season goes on.
While concerned, I’m more excited about what the roster will look like after this mania is over. He’s got all the playing time available he needs to reload the roster up
