Transfer Rumblings

If Hunter does end up at Maryland then there becomes a HUGE question for us this year. - Where does our scoring come tom ? - We are going to have a real struggle to score enough to win games. Jalen , Gray , & Kevin all gone which that was the majority of our point production. Who fills those voids ? - -Juan ? -no way does his production increase that much . - KJ ? - -Nope. - -Udeh ? - - not unless he makes a MAJOR jump. - - -Sure I mean Timberlake will score some - - Morris will score some - -BUT are their points gonna match Jalens ? - -Gradys ? -I don’t think so , no on a consistent basis anyways , I just think unless we can still find a proven legit scorer , that guy that’s going to go out and get you buckets - -we might be in trouble

with the way things turning out with Hunter , we really could use him - -But it says on the tweet - -still more likely he staying in the draft , that doesn’t help

on sam vecenie’s recent draft board he was 73. My guess is if he gets any type of guarantee(two way contract etc) he’ll declare. The process for him will also take a while since he’s going to the combine
-
If we are reaching out to others 5’s as @jayballer67 said - that doesn’t ensure confidence. I don’t think Hunter has said anything so we are handling it well still touching base with other 5’s to be safe.

From what I have heard and seen hunter is suppose I guess to announce today sometime - -just not sure when
-
Don’t think anyone truly knows where HD is committing. Or even if he is committing. Seems like he likes this attention so much that he might never commit anywhere! lol
-
I just hope the insiders are right that this ends today.

Yeah I really don’t need another day of this.
Mgbako vibes are IMMACULATE however.
-
@jayballer67 - HCBS isn’t done yet….
-
My guess right now is we add Mgbako to what we have and are done. If we somehow get Hunter, things might get crazy.

I think he loves the attention - -the drama, I know a lot of people ove on the Kentucky board say he just playing games, also agree. lot sayin way people talk they almost like he is the 2nd coming that he ain’t ALL THAT. ya he is good but he knows he is, I think this is some of the negative things they were talking about him- -bottom line might just be trouble he be a black hole, you throw the ball in it’s not coming back – i dunno , if he commits here- -he commits here -IF NOT - OH WELL - he doesn’t maybe Zuby stays.
Like another poster aid you listen to Villanova people they think he is coming there - - he is a lock. - You listen to /Maryland people he is a lock - -you listen to KU people insiders say it’s a done deal he is coming to KU. -Like he said is it possible for ONE plaer to lead three different schools to the final four in the same year roflmao. - Just get the dam thing over with , go where the hell ever just go

Mgbako would be a nice pick up for sure. - -Him Timberlake and Morris I’ll take it. I know Self was wanting a 4 - -a wing - - and a 5 at the beginning of this - if we tak these three- -work the 5 by committee we be good to go
-
Under Armor vs Adidas. Interesting.
-
We are at a real disadvantage if we don’t land Hunter in a way. We need to make room where Duke and others don’t. I really want Grant Nelson, but I’m not sure his timeline and ours matchup enough that we will get in on him.
Would require him to basically commit to us in the next week.
-
Heard good things on KU’s end this morning buuuut again nobody really knows.
-
@Kcmatt7 I want him as well. Have to think they’ll add a big yet.

Hunter? I’ve heard Bill won’t be outbid. We’ll see…
-
Be interesting to see if Mackenzie takes his other two visits - - Indiana & Louisville - read where his visit here went fantastic
-
Will not be today on Hunter. Or tomorrow.
-

whys that ? - - did he come out and say ?
-
Seems like Hunter wants to continue the drama
-
@jayballer67 nah just taking his time - he’s fine

-
Bill is here folks.
-
I mean is it really negative recruiting if it’s the truth?!
-
yeah the fit concerns are objectively facts lol. Ant Wright(big 10 guy who has Michigan connections) said he believes the four best fits for what hunter is looking for (championship and potential legacy) are Kansas, Villanova, Georgetown and a possible return to Michigan since he knows everything about the place. Kentucky’s guards are more focused on getting to the nba and Maryland already has Julian Reese and Donta Scott in their front court.
-
Kentucky writer, so of course he has to frame it like that.
-
On and on we go…
-
It appears no one knows….and also 1-2 transfers out if Hunter comes is significant
-

Yeah I’d rather just add Mgbako and be done but I’m not Bill.

Does he want to get to 4 scholarships even if hunter doesn’t come?
-
If you’re basically guaranteed 2 years of Dickinson, the transfers out may be worth it. I’d hate to lose guys with some major upside like Zuby/Udeh but the reality is that there were at least 6 or 7 rim-runner type of bigs that hit the portal this year who could have filled in for them if not been better.
On the flip side, there weren’t very many P5 post guys who can get you 20 and 10 most nights. I get the value proposition Bill is going for.
-
I feel a strong need to develop Udeh! So much upside.
-
KU showing interest in Grant Nelson
-
@BeddieKU23 said in Transfer Rumblings:

Don’t blame them , but looks like pretty good chance he stays in the draft
-
@BeddieKU23 I really don’t think we end up getting him the way things are playing out. Timing combined with our scholarship issues are going to be a huge hurdle.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Transfer Rumblings:

I LOVE Udeh’s personality. He seems like a great human and I really don’t want to see him go. It just wouldn’t shock me.
-
Yeah I don’t expect anything anymore, this offseason has soured me to the point I no longer want to pay attention until October comes around.
-
Give me Mackenzie and I’m comfortable with the off-season.
-

Yup, I’d say some of the souring to me is the new recruiting period we are adjusting to (portal). It’s an entirely new season we aren’t used to. But the vast majority of my souring is the NIL crap. I guess I need to get comfortable with that or move on, huh.
-
The NCAA cramming the portal into like a one month period is asinine to me
-
Cuffe is in the portal.
-
There’s now a world where we add Mgbako, Hunter, and Nelson.
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
Cuffe is in the portal.
wow! something happened behind the scenes.
-
So, what do you all suppose happened recently with cuffe? why right now? Why not a few weeks ago? Love to know the conversation between him and Self
And my gut feeling is - just pick a damn school Hunter what the hell… KU should be a no brainer. Maybe, as has been suggested, he is wary of Self actually being what a good coach should do - ride his ass when he needs it. I won’t be upset if he picks Kensucky.
-
The more i read about Hunter, the less i want him at KU.
-
Bill must’ve moved mountains trying to find cuffe a landing spot
