I think that’s close based on actual production so far.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk the high school process is usually a lot more orderly since the calendar is so long. We’ve put out feelers on c/o 24 guys but this spring and summer is when they identify serious priority targets and start setting up visits for the fall. Those relationships are more longstanding so the staff has a better feel for who’s interested, who’s not, and where the fit would be.
The portal is more like 90 Day Fiancé.

Sounds about right. Just seems to be way more risky, awaiting portal guys. If the coaches haven’t set up their offseason team properly, and fail to pick up the right bits and pieces in the portal…no bueno.

Hope Morris ends up at Depaul. Last I’m speaking on that.

@rockchalkjayhawk yeah it’s all whacky. Even with HS kids they can now up and leave, putting you in a bad spot. Just the new normal.

Ya, but makes you wonder. He had stated that he was going to make his announcement in 2 weeks. - -Now it’s two days. and he said it was between KU & Depaul - they were talking & saying the big thing that may sway him would be with KU - -getting that chance to play for a National Championship & Depaul - -ummm no. probably be just outr luck Spears and Morris both - - OH BOY.
Thing is Morris was talking he wanted to play pint - -Umm he not gonna do that at KU with chances of Juan using both years of eligibility - - hang onto your butts - -lot’s of baggage

Has ANYBODY heard ANYTHING , anything more at all on Hunter ? - I know he has his Villanova visit starting Friday. Keeping it pretty tight to the vest

Yes it’s hard this time of year with all the exploding numbers of transfers to be patient… we all want this process to be DONE so we know what our team will be. I certainly trust Self to find the right guys, and it’s gonna take time.
Perhaps Hunter will wait to see what Oscar Tshiebwe will do before he pulls the trigger. I’m sure it’s not all about NIL $… every team in the running can find a way to pony up, but I imagine Kansas and Kentucky can easily top the other schools.

What’s new about landing a high profile player being a bidding war? That’s pretty much how it’s been since at least the 1960’s in college basketball.

Have no problem with it being a bidding war but when you’re being disingenuous imo stating that it’s about the best chance to win. Then I think the guy is bsing it. He knows just as well as all of us that Maryland or a Georgetown isn’t winning a title next year.

with each passing day it looks like Marcus Adams is gonna get a chance to prove he’s one and done

Not sure why, but a lot or enough I should say really don’t seem to be as high on Hunter, a lot of them see him landing at Ku. some of them feel that Oscar is better and worried about losing him, some would rather Oscar come back whether then get Hunter. - -it just sounds like they have pretty well thinking he is KU’s - -I’m not so sure about that but

Tyson looks Cal-bound.

Yeah some tea leaves with Morris wrt KU I think. KU does only have 2 open spots right now and of course one will be held for Hunter.

Some thoughts
Let’s say Self adds either Morris or Spears. This seems like an almost safe assumption at this point but it’s recruiting so you never know. Also Spears would have to get his waiver.
Guard rotation: Juan/Elmarko/Morris or Spears/Timberlake
4 guys for 3 spots and 120 minutes. We’d be small at the 3, but good players.
Likely dead weight next season, respectfully: McDowell, CJ, Cuffe
4 spot: KJ and Marcus Adams
Bigs: Udeh, Zuby
So things then boil down to Hunter. If you add him I still think Bill gets a 1 seed with this, even if the 4 spot could be near disaster levels. If you add a ham sandwich in that spot instead, probably a 3-4 seed because Bill is Bill, an all-time great coach. There are varying levels in between too. 2 million suddenly becomes available if you don’t get Hunter who should be announcing before the portal entry deadline. That’s a lot of oomph to maybe get someone else for the 4/5 spot to portal.
Since Bill can’t see to get the 4th spot to open combined with the self-imposed reduction it limits our bench options. Hopefully, we can be a legit 8 deep.

If there is 2 million for Hunter, why would McCullar leave? Bill wants him as much as anyone out there. Kevin is not making 2million the next two years, let alone one playing pro basketball.

Different offers for different players. He also just wants to be done with college basketball apparently.

honestly, having the options for the final scholarship be either Hunter or someone coming back from the draft is solid. Lots of conjecture there though

Tyson looks Cal-bound.
Tyson is in the same boat as Spears of needing a waiver to play next season so that’s not necessarily a loss for KU.

Between the two of them I’d say Tyson is way more likely to get a waiver given his situation at Tech. I really don’t see any scenario where Spears gets a waiver

I fully expect the NCAA to be dicks to players transferring this offseason. It is my belief it is what the coaches and schools want. And talks that went on behind closed doors have the NCAA carrying their water.
https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status/1638718369409933314/photo/1
I don’t expect Tyson or Spears to get a waiver. Tyson may have a better case, but I suspect the NCAA still doesn’t grant a waiver.

Coaching change not being a reason is complete BS. I agree with what you are saying.

Sounds like all the “not coachable” talk has disappeared. I’m all for bringing in Tyson, would like this move a lot.

On my end, things went pitch dark after the visit. That usually means things are about done. Always got the impression the interest was more on Morris’s side than KU’s. I guess we’ll find out for sure Friday.
Glad ole vern came around

Man I would love to have Hunter , but yet beginning to think if we can get Tyson & Timberlake & I guess Morris - - just play our 5 by committee may not be ideal , but I think we would be ok, Udeh is going to progress started to show some in the later stages last year. -just have Udeh & Zuby - maybe KJ still at teh 5
I want hunter but hearing now that Hunter yet may still TAKE ANOTHER VISIT. - -Coming out that now Gonzaga has made Hunter a priority , and he vey well could make a visit there after the Villanova visit. So we have went from Maryland - - G Town & KU being the suposed front runners to - - Kentucky getting involved - - Then we have Villanova coming in - -and NOW GONZAGA. - - like people have said it has just become a bidding war - Gonzaga after him to replace Timme - Strong interest on both sides I guess. - -Hell every where he has went there has been STRONG INTEREST in both sides- -Come on dude , I see part of what people are talking about. - -Center of attention and he is eating it up for all it’s worth and wants to keep it that way. - Your good but not that good

@jayballer67 by all accounts Hunter is sticking to his early May timeframe. I get fans are frustrated but there’s no hurry on his end, and really nor should there be.

True they are but also if he is now going to Gonzaga those dates is a mute point. Just have heard things about Hunte as to why some aren’t really believe it or not interested. - Let me ask you , do you think Hunter is an NBA player? - -just curious, from many statements I have read. - Not that it means a hill of beans to us cause we are only interested while he is or might be at KU. Hell I’ve even heard now there might be a chance of a return to Michigan

So is the general consensus that Hunter Dickinson truly wants to make all his visits, or is he just not impressed with what he’s seen so far at KU, Kentucky and Maryland? Stacks of cash not high enough?
And can we get Tyson here before Spears commits!!!

Yeah I never thought he’d call it early.
I really think they’d take both and figure it out later.
