I actually like Lands. It’s very difficult to evaluate the Louisville guys because they didn’t have a competent PG.

Corrected it for ya. He was an intriguing prospect late in the last cycle.

Tuesday Roundup
Arkansas lands Washington transfer Keyon Menifield.
Avery Anderson in for Oklahoma St.
David Jones in from St Johns.
Harrison Ingram- Stanford
Logan Duncomb- Indiana to Xavier
Efton Reid on the move again from Gonzaga.
-
Kentucky’s Ugonna Onyenso in. Poor kid was hustled to reclassify into the 22 class only to find out Oscar was coming back so can’t blame him. KU did recruit him but it was more for the 23 class.
-
Tramon Mark not an option, down to 4 schools. Kansas St is one of them
-
Caleb Love- Missouri baring a bigger bag from Michigan- Per Slater Slayer

Can assure you Michigan doesn’t care much about Hoops. MW Texas basically.

Dickinson will have a zoom call with Kentucky. They definitely have a need at that spot and the offer will be STRONG.

@Kcmatt7 idk what you’re talking about man DJ Wagner is a maestro at passing*
*to himself
-
Wagners def going for the record for shots in a yr
-
Kerr Krissa lands at West Virginia because of course
-
Anthony Walker- Miami in. Ruiz went bankrupt so Miami is without a wallet
-
Not sure how much it effects anything or pertains BUT I know Hunter was suppose to have a zoom meeting today with Kentucky. - -Well just read off the Kentucky boards saw where the Freshman that had entered the portal Ugonna - announced he was coming back to Kentucky next year after all. - Just wonder if that would have any effect on Hunter possibly landing there. - I mean though where ever Hunter lands he is starting - he is not transferring anywhere to com off the bench - -not with his resume.-- just found it interesting.
Also saw the guy I wanted Graham I guess is going to Providence- - & also saw that Ingram has been connected to the possibility of N Carolina – things are gonna be interesting

@jayballer67 Kentucky people don’t think they are really in it for Hunter and that he is just using them for NIL boost. Small fwiw.

Well that works for me - I wonder IF Hunter wee to land here - -how would that effect Udeh & Zubys thought process - -dam I’d hate to lose those guys good developmental guys - -you can see they have some promise

Wednesday Roundup
Texas Tech’s Daniel Batcho in- Tech currently doesn’t have a big on the roster coming back.
Purdont’s- Brandon Newman

Jordan Wright- transferring from Vandy to LSU
Wisconsin lands Wyoming transfer PG Noah Reynolds
-
Portal over 1300 as we head into Easter weekend
-
See we are in the final 5 for Jamille Reynolds. Havent heard much about this guy.
-
Would consider him not a take until other domino’s like Dickinson/Shedrick make decisions.
-
Who would we consider the # 1 prospect is in the portal as of right now ? - -HUNTER ?

Would be a solid option, but definitely a fallback plan because I don’t think he’d play over Udeh.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that I’d be curious because reynolds pers you should like
Reynolds also can score on the block
It all depends on udeh’s off-season progression. He develops moves and better shot blocking he will be tough to keep off the floor
That big lineup is gonna be crazy. KJ showed when he was in foul trouble against Arkansas we sucked on O.
-
Thursday midday roundup
Minnesota transfer Jamison Battle lands at Ohio St
El Ellis leaving Louisville. Avg a bunch of points on the worst Ville team ever
Shawn Phillips- LSU
Jeremiah Davenport- Cincinnati
-
2 more big ones in
Kaleb Boone Oklahoma St
Ryan Nembhard Creighton
-
I’d be in on Nembhard for sure. But Zags for him?

WOW - that surprise me - - -Boone Oklahoma St ? - - this portal is crazy. - do we actually think this portal is helping the game or hurting teams
It’s getting almost to a point where if the kid wakes up in a bad mood one day it’s coming down to where he gets into it with the Coach and says Screw this I’m going in the Portal— looks like they are making it to easy for the kids - -whether it’s legit or not. - -They might make it again even if they portal they sit a year - -legit or not. - - it’s been mentioned here what the count is like what 1,300 and still time for many more. I think it’s just got out of hand
-
@BShark ah. The same but different

His PER is a big a part of why I’d be interested in him, but Reynolds would definitely be a fallback option for me. His numbers would likely take a hit moving up from average/bad AAC teams and he also has a history of injuries having missed significant time in 2 of his 3 seasons. He’s also not a great defender so that step up in competition would likely turn him into a bad defender.
I’d obviously rather have Dickinson or Shedrick over Reynolds, but I don’t think Reynolds would be a bad option to have off the bench.

Michigan found a bigger bag for Caleb Love than Mizzou
-
oh man I was kinda looking forward to 2022 national championship game hero Caleb Love coming back to Lawrence
-
KU not on the most recent list for Sallis. Was happy to see that.

Swain’s recent article is very good. Paywalled, but I think Swain is worth it.
-
Aimaq to Cal to play for his old coach from Utah Valley.
-
Word is that Arkansas has reached out to 84 transfers so far lol.

Reynolds wouldn’t ruffle feathers. You could still get Ernest 15-20 minutes a game. Plus, Reynolds has 2 years. With Dickinson, It’s going to be Hunter 30+, and we only get him for one year. I still say you take Hunter, but I sure like that Reynolds kid. Reynolds is a very good back to the basket scorer- reminds me of Dave.

We can do better. Hopefully we do.

The biggest concern I have with Reynolds is durability. He’s missed time every season, and significant time in two seasons because of injuries. That’s the risk factor with Reynolds.
That said, I do like Reynolds, but health is a legitimate concern with him.

247 Sports has KU at the top of the list as the best destination and fit for Dickinson…
Kansas Jayhawks
When looking at Kansas’ fit for Hunter Dickinson, one only needs to mention two words: “David McCormack.”
The Jayhawks fed the post in McCormack’s two seasons as Kansas’ primary starter. McCormack ranked in the 100th percentile for percentage of possessions used in post-ups as a junior, then in the 97th percentile of the same category when Kansas won the National Championship in 2022, per Synergy.
Dickinson is a more talented and efficient post-up scorer than McCormack was. Also, his ability to pop and shoot (he made 42.1% of his 3-pointers this year) adds some variety to Kansas’ pick-and-roll game.
Kansas has a pass-first point guard in Dajuan Harris who could get the most out of Dickinson offensively and there’s no doubt that Bill Self could get the most out of Dickinson on defense. When the Jayhawks struggled defensively with McCormack at the five in 2020-21, Self tweaked the depth of McCormack’s drop which helped turn Kansas into a top 10 defense for the final month and a half of the season.
The need is there for the Jayhawks, too. Without a traditional center, Kansas had just 108 post-up possessions last year, with half of those going to power forward Jalen Wilson. KJ Adams had just 22 of those post-ups, a staggeringly low number when compared to the post-ups of the Jayhawks’ primary center from the last three seasons — Udoka Azubuike (202 post-ups) and McCormack (244, 209).
Make no mistake: Self wants to feed the post. And, currently, he doesn’t have a player like Dickinson (or for that matter, McCormack) who he can feed with that kind of volume. Schematically, it’s a hand-in-glove fit.

@DCHawker It just makes so much sense… So he will probably go to Maryland…
