Transfer Rumblings

@kjayhawks that’s totally fair, he’s clearly the biggest risk we’ve taken this cycle and that’s just some questionable attitude and frustration last year didn’t go well for him
-
@FarmerJayhawk for sure and with regards to young kids that have his potential. I hope if his grades allow him to come to Lawrence or not that he excels. I don’t think it’s healthy to wish negative things upon anyone other than Mizzou going winless in conference again haha.

I talked to someone that knows the current Florida S&C coach I will just say I won’t be too fussed whatever happens with Kugel.
-
Get me Griffen to go with Storr and I’m more than fine with a wing rotation of Storr and Rylan with Rakease getting McDowell type of minutes.
-
@BShark Any chance if we lose Kugel…Wade pops in the portal?
-
@TYOHawk Kease is gonna surprise some people…

If Kugel doesn’t make it I’d rather have Brea

In case you need more proof it’s offense that runs things. You give me 5 guys who can score and it’s way easier to teach them how to defend and positioning…defense is tenacity and want to.
You give me 5 dudes who can defend but can’t throw it in the ocean standing on the beach and it won’t matter how good they are defensively when they don’t get buckets in half court crunch time sets……
Did you read the athletics article on Hurley and his offense?
-
@jayballer67 From comments in this chat I’d much rather have Brea but I think he’s UK bound……

@jayballer67 If he wants to D-ride Hurley so much, then he should go be UConn fan.

lol , ys sir I hear you - found out this is the kind of crap that gets him off, knowing he is getting under your skin, gotten to the point I just laugh anymore because he is a clown.
He has been a dedicated Juan humper all year, every time words spew out his mouth just goes to show how much less he REALLY KNOWS.- -probably was a U Conn lil people until even they banned him off their sites. He ain’t nothin but a thing -don’t even let him bother you-- -kinda like a bad dream he never goes away lol. – gonna be alright bud---- - -ROCK CHALK

@FarmerJayhawk Who’s going to tell him to defend in the NBA?

Not today but this weekend will be a fun one to follow if it all works out

Most of the league probably. There’s not much tolerance now for guys who chuck and don’t really defend. I don’t remember exactly when it flipped (maybe 10ish years ago?) but defense has made a heck of a comeback in the NBA where teams really value it.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Lol - I guess that’s why I shouldn’t run my mouth about things I have no knowledge of. I haven’t watched NBA basketball since 1987, when I lived in Houston and went to about 3 Rockets games per year.

Kind of feels like we were the last ones standing on Storr so we can get him at a more reasonable NIL deal
KU is doing a lot to get this one done lol
Now that Storr announced… Got his mom a house and job in Lawrence, is the chatter.

Arguably the best in KU history. Still have to cross ts etc
-
Wiggins and Embiid big? Guess that wasn’t the same weekend. I’m still ticked about DeShawn Stevenson’s ACT score…should’ve been a big weekend.

Gradey is back in town to help recruit ahahaha.

Hard not to be a fan of what they just did back to back. We were supposed to take the reins when K and Roy retired but Hurley as big of a turd as he is; took over.
I couldn’t fathom Self winning back to back with an entirely new starting 5. Heck I couldn’t fathom running through the tournament winning every game by an 18 point margin making it look easy let alone doing it twice. Gotta tip your cap and see what on earth they adjusted to do that. Will be curious to see what happens this upcoming year with his squad.
Our 2008 tourney had close calls to Davidson and Memphis.
2022 - Close games Creighton, Providence and UNC.
Hurley is one of my least favorite coaches but to have the wherewithal to look at his system/philosophy/roster construction and adjust it was the opposite of stubborn.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Only if you’d quit acting like it’s the 70’s and defense wins titles….
And acknowledge Hurley’s plan that Edey wouldn’t score 25 2’s and shut down purdues three was genius and the exact opposite of what Bill would have done.
-

If only facts didn’t support that defense still wins championships no matter how much you don’t want that to be true. There’s only been one title team in the Kenpom era (2002) to have a defense ranked outside the top 20 in adjusted defensive efficiency, and only 3 teams outside the top 15 in adjusted defensive efficiency.
So no, I’m not going to pretend that defense doesn’t still win championships because that’s not what reality says.
-
I guess we can add threads like this as positive for the transfer portal. I remember this site being mostly a ghost town after the ncaa tournament.
-
You have to be able to score and defend to win a title.
-
I’m honestly just thrilled we’re getting athletes again. It was such a crazy thing to watch last year with us being unathletic and not being able to shoot.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I should clarify you can’t be Bama and not defend at all. As @BShark said you gotta do both which we’d all agree with.
What I’m saying is offense is more important. The best defense with a hand in a guys face he can still hit the shot cause these dudes are talented.
My point for O>D is when uconn played sdsu 2 years ago. SDSU was the great defensive team but labored to score (that sort of team sound familiar year in and year out around these parts???).
-
Come on Tipton edit faster
-
Ha. I’d get stuck on Rylan Griffen, too.
Or maybe it’s…?

Rothstein on this one probably.
You’d think tomorrow, Saturday is a weird day to do it (I know some kids did announce today).

If you have 247 Swain mentioned this as well last night. Sounds like it helped as NBA development is important to Rylan.

I’m starting to think you might have some sources Mr. Farmer.
-
The two sources speaking
-
Ok who is saying what when now?
-
Waiting on the announcement
-
Drat. No good news today, maybe next week.
-
He’ll just quietly enroll and we’ll only know he committed once we see his name in the first starting lineup graphic
-
Whts the timeframe on Acuff commitment?
-
Dang, I had my hopes up for some recruiting announcements. I’ve been glued to the board but nada!
What happens in Lawrence stays in Lawrence?

How hilarious would that be
-
Sounds like they signed two players over the weekend but we won’t hear about it for a bit.
-
@BShark Honestly at this point it doesn’t matter who they are. Until they set foot on campus in the spring the possibility of bolting is very real. Non binding contracts and neither party’s word is worth much - Bill will recruit over them in a heartbeat and they will take more money elsewhere if offered.
-
@dylans Yeah it’s all pretty silly now.
