Transfer Rumblings
-
@kuballin10 I will not jump on that train until I see them play defense. We got a lot of scorers and HOPEFULLY Bill can coach them up on D. But Gonzaga spamming the same pick and roll play 10 times in a row and getting either a wide open lay up or 3 EVERY time still haunts me. Harris, Hunter and the new guys GOTTA step it up on D to make sure they can guard the most simple of actions.
-
@kuballin10 I am very glad we got a roster you approve of. Similar to if USMNT gets Pochettino i will have extremely little wiggle room to bitch if it goes south. But i am assuming that both of us will find creative loopholes

@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
Would we all agree we have the best roster in college bball this season?
If not, who would you say has a better roster?
Projection wise Houston, Duke, Iowa State, Tennessee, UNC, Auburn, Bama and Gonzaga are in the same ballpark. I actually donāt like UNCās roster at all though. Bama is intriguing, Iād probably trade rosters with them with everything else being equal (we know it isnāt).
@approxinfinity I eagerly await the first moment we are trailing this season.
-
@BShark what about Arkansas?
-
@approxinfinity Iām not sure if we do but if you think we do and we have the best coach in the game it should be a shoe in title!
Iām not really up on other teams right now so once I get to watch some non con we will see whoās got the best roster
I think we do but not 100% sold. If we do have the best Bill better deliver

Kstate has a better roster than Arkansas!
-
@BShark I finally checked calās roster and he has dj wagner and pulled johnell davis. Thatās gotta be the best backcourt in America right?
Also, why on earth did Ballo leave Arizona for Indiana???
All sorts of transfers this off-season I donāt understand

Davis is nasty but Wagner does not impress me. I would take Iowa Stateās back court over Arkansas, and others as well.

Money.
-
Can definitely understand it for Ballo, his game is not likely to stick in the NBA and so wants to maximize his earning now. Similar to Hunter leaving Michigan, though Ballo didnāt have the same level of offers from contenders
-
Wagner stinks and is living off HS hype
-
@BShark are any isu bb players in on the betting scandal? I heard they were.

Nana Owusu-Anane will visit Kansas, per Joe Tipton.

Definitely a good option here. Can shoot the 3ā¦

Good solid bench piece. Entered the portal shortly after Brown played KU. Has been out injured this year (shoulder). One to monitor.

He can? Compared to KJ, he can shoot 3ās, but heās a career 27% from 3 with a season best of 31%. Thatās against some of the weakest D1 competition out there so I doubt heād even shoot those numbers at KU.
That said, I do believe he would be a solid bench piece as someone that can come in and get to the FT line. Itād also be nice to see his FT% increase though as heās a career 65% from the FT line.
-
Even the low % numbers from 3 are better then zero which is what KJ has offered for 4 years. The kid has tape of him taking 3s open and off the catch so thereās some perimeter skill there. Iām not saying heās our starting 4 and Iām certainly not penciling him for anything but it does look like the staff will be priorizing KJās replacement in the portal and will hopefully be looking for players that have more offensive versatility
-
The rise in competition is definitely the biggest hurdle for him. Just a few games last year against good competition. He did go for 13 and 11 against USC and 15 and 9 against Providence.
Has been out with a torn labrum all year. Not great.
Officially visits Tuesday. A good backup option at the 4 perhaps

Iām not saying heās doesnāt take those shots, Iām saying opposing B12 coaches wonāt respect that part of his game because his best 3 point season is only 31% and he wonāt duplicate that stepping up to B12 competition.
As a back up, he seems serviceable, but if youāre looking at roster construction for next year, itās hard to see him amd Tiller complimenting each other on offense very well.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Good thing our guys are always solid free throw shooters
Good thing our guys excel at getting to the line and transfers in always improve once here at getting to the line more
Good thing that dolla bill will let him have freedom to try that top of the key trey ball to open up the offense without quick hooking him

Feeling good on Dix. Things are moving fast fast
-
@FarmerJayhawk whew, now donāt you tease, be nice , I just got out of the hospital last week lol-- get me worked up lol , fingers crossed

If he makes the visit this weekend, well that Bill guy hasnāt really missed on transfer targets that visited.
-
Gotta put Dix where the money is, or something.
I look forward to a return of a rampant abuse of last names for the sake of stupid jokes
-
KT down in Hutch today
-
@approxinfinity Lol ya If Dix comes here---- I can here the tators now- - - BOU KU really likes those Dixās- - -Dickā ( Grady )-- -I can see it on posters at opposing teams lol- --Then he turns around and scorchās them for 25 - - and all of a sudden those tators turn in tots lmao - -gotta love it

I know his son coaches over there, too, right?

JUCO tournament and yeah his son is a coach.

With what Iāve heard about the $ from Iowa and KU, it would be somewhat surprising if Dix returned to Iowa.

Heard a destination for Diggy could be Bama. Which is wild

That would be insane frankly. He would get toasted in the SEC.
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

His game suits them better and I bet heās utilized better
Chuck more threeās, play matador defense and let whatever big athletic 4&5 man stuff guys at the rim
Works when you have big time athletes protecting the paint so guards can be more aggressive

Would be hilarious. He would be food in that conference
-

Bama doesnāt play defense so heād be fine in that system letting the 3ās fly.

Lot of old friend alertsā¦
-
The old friend I care about the most is Flory.
-
@TYOHawk ā there sure are. you know I heard there are over 2,000 entered in . Goes to show what the Portal and NIL have done to the game.
Wish we would hear something about SOMEBODY showing at least some interest in KU -been stone quiet. I really do think that maybe even if there is any truth to it or not , I think maybe that Other Schools have heard the rumblings that Coach Self might be calling it quits THIS YEAR and they are taking that and running with it against us
-
Prediction: Diggy Coit - Maryland
-
Iāve been wondering how other programs have been affected by the portal. Anybody know of a website that tracks portal entries by school?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Hrll I think I heard Auburn was losing nine ?
-
There was some scuttlebutt that Diggy might land art Alabama, fast pace little defense- -fit Diggy just right
-
A quick glance at other schools and the portalā¦
I donāt feel so bad now. LOTS of other big time schools losing 2-8 guys to the portal.
Unlucky that KU is also losing some seniors to graduation at the same time.
Onward and upward! Letās get some guys signed and driving Billy Prestonās old car ASAP!
-
@bskeet Yes, though if Zuby entered the portal that would change.
-
-
-
@approxinfinity would be ecstatic and I think weād both do a little reversal on next year
Floryās athleticism and ability to protect the rim is what we need at the 5
Pair that with DP and Whiteās length defensively and we are good
Assuming White plays the 3 and Self looks for another big in the portal so he can play his two bigs
-
What a bizarre turn of events if the rumors are true
-
Flory seemed like a great kid so Iām all for it
Crazy since heās moved out of campus right? If he fails classes how on earth does that work?
-
-
@kuballin10 most KU players (especially freshmen) are in all online classes. Even if theyāre in the portal guys finish out the semester or they jeopardize being eligible at their next stop
