Ingram looks like the better 4 but Tyson is the better small forward
We have a winner!
Flexibility is good too. I’d love adding both.

@BShark they’d take both
Kyle Cuffe leave challenge
Yeah I’m waiting on the news at this point.
-
@BShark From all accounts he’s not leaving so……
Two wings and one big?
-
@BShark We don’t have room lol
-
@kuballin10 if it’s me the only big I’m taking is Hunter. If he goes elsewhere pivot to two wings and a guard.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Makes sense
I think if we miss on Hunter there may be a stud or two available late say next 30 days
Tyson, Ingram and Hunter would be nice. Rely on Elmarko and someone else besides Juan to really have good handles. I think we’d find a way to get another small guard. I’m out on Morris so gotta be someone else.
-
Bout time we made Texas Tech our feeder school, officially
-
Looks like Bill might be in Hutch today @Crimsonorblue22
-
Saw from TOS that reason Ingram not coming this week was because of all the people he wanted to come on visit couldn’t make it ( presumably family ) - -so he pushed it back
-
@jayballer67 yep it’s 100% logistics. Heard that from multiple people. Also that if we locked him down too quickly it would look tamper-y so both sides decided to just slow down the process a bit.
Last thing I got for now is Morris seems like a 4th transfer kinda dude. Dickinson is their clear #1 obvs, then Ingram, and I think even Tyson is ahead on the board as of Tuesday. That visit should happen soon. Strong mutual interest there (s/o Kev).
Ope last, last thing. Timberlake to UConn should happen any time now.
-
@BShark yes! A lot of my friends are going to hear him speak. At school.

I mean, Self is 100% in Hutch today. You don’t want him absent when Ingram visits.
-
ant wright who’s a big ten guy said in one of his spaces that north Carolina is pushing more for Matthew Cleveland which could be seen as an indicator for how they feel about ingram. But when you look at their board they seem a little confident
-
Cormac Ryan is also visiting UNC. There was a logistical thing that caused him to reschedule KU. All there is to it.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I grew up in that area. Still have family around there. Visit about 1-2 times a year if not more.
-
New names: Cormac Ryan, Jaden Bradley
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
New names: Cormac Ryan, Jaden Bradley
I said before I’d take Bradley over Morris when comparing off the court baggage but his skillset does seem a little redundant given he’d be sharing a backcourt with Juan. Cormac Ryan seems like a UNC IU battle
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
New names: Cormac Ryan, Jaden Bradley
If it’s 2021-22 that shot 40%, I’d take easily. If it’s 34% Ryan, it’s a pass for me because we don’t need someone who camps behind the line, but struggles to make his shots.
-
@BShark pass and pass
-
Sounds like i’s still gonna be some time for any news. Just listened to Swain off the local weekly talk with him here in Topeka .Not a lot new with Hunter , Visit starting Thursday, but Swain he still chances are going to take some time. Kentucky & Arkansas trying to get in late , so thee is that.
Then Ingram–suppose to have a visit with North Carolina yet , so in reality just having to see how that goes, but could be getting close to announcement. Another reason for Harrison pushing visit back – -Bill was on a speaking engagement in Hutch today
The way he talked to is - -were NOT quite out of it on Timberlake just yet. Still hasn’t made up his mind. U Conn close to home - -BUT just quite NO DECISION just yet.
he was talking about Jaylon Tyson , saying he was very comparible to Grady - -very similar stats. Jaylon a little better rebounder - #pt % prtty close to same
-
Tyson better shooter at the rim
-
@BeddieKU23 said in Transfer Rumblings:

Ya mentioned that Jaylon 2 pt % better.
-
@jayballer67 Tyson would fit in perfect just like Mccullar. Better scorer with slightly worse D which isn’t saying much because Kev was phenomenal defensively.
If we get Hunter, Ingram and Tyson what on earth are we doing ball handler wise? Juan and Elmarko won’t be enough.

Yeah would need a scholarship to open I think.
Morris got in for his visit tonight…
-
I guess Spears says Visiting - -down to two schools - -Florida St & KU ?
-
@kuballin10 Ingram can play point in a pinch
-
@FarmerJayhawk What is he now the second coming of magic Johnson? A 6-8 pg lol come on now farmer!
-
@kuballin10 lol nah, he’s just skilled enough to bring it up and initiate once in awhile like Jalen did.
-
Morris OV really starting up today. And yes it is 100% an OV.

Again - - PASS - - PASS - -& - -PASS we don’t need any more sittings about the possibility of questionable players and outside problems. - there are better players still out there without having to deal with these kind of issues

So what your saying is that KU would rather take a guy with questionable character over a guy like Jsylen Tyson

That doesn’t mean we won’t take Tyson. Situations are fluid. If Cuffe leaves…the picture will get clearer.
-
@TYOHawk I agree in thought but he clearly ain’t leaving so we only have 3 spots.
I’m with @jayballer67 - I want the three guys I’ve laid out and not this guy
-
Its pretty remarkable that they can’t succeed in getting Cuffe out.
-
@RockkChalkk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Honestly…it’s awkward for me to even read about and we’re just fans/posters. Self has been pretty open in interviews for at least a year that he won’t play if healthy…and NLI aside I think any athlete would actually want to play the sport. It’s like why stay?
-
Hunter, Tyson, and Ingram would be an awesome haul. Swapping out Cuffe for another year of Kevin would be great too. Its a lot of similar position players on the roster though, could really use another guard unless they feel super strong about Elmarko stepping right in. There just aren’t many in the portal that I feel great about.

yeah feel like I kind of saw the writing on the wall once I saw he wasn’t connected with any other schools

I’m starting to be rather confident we take 3 perimeter players no matter what. And we’ll see a 4th departure if Dickinson picks KU.

The Athletic has a long CJ Moore article about how Hunter would fit in at KU.

MJ Rice headed back home , going to play for North Carolina State

Perhaps he will try there.

Very happy to see us showing interest in Battle, no brainer if they need to expand the board.
So Dickinson visits tommorow
Ingram visits next week
Morris is currently visiting.
Tyson has interest/KU has interest. Could see a visit soon? Perhaps this weekend?
Battle reporting interest.
Spears visit next week (still TBD it sounds)
Hart is down to 4 & will announce Friday (KU included) but sounds like he’ll go elsewhere.
Timberlake to the good guys

I just think he is a guy tat will take some time for sure – if he does. Lot’s of talent BUT is he willing to work on the defensive end. I just think kind of a lime light thing
-
Well - -Tomorrow is a HUGE DAY. - Like me ask are these visits Morris - -or any other visitor Hunter - -are they just a one day thing or how long do they last ? - -just curious.
