@BShark sure, Perry immediately came to mind but i would need to see how versatile and creative he is. Perry was very crafty despite being landlocked.
Was thinking Jalen Wilson
Except he can dunk.
-
Oh my. Okereke would fit so well in a Bill Self offense too
-
Just for once I wish we would get the athletes you kick around in these threads early, instead of settling in, convincing ourselves of fit late. Please Bill. Lets go!
-
Whom would you fellows rather have, Okareke or Rataj?
-
-
@Jhawk69 That’s a tough one— --- ummm I guess one or the other maybe Rataj
-
Has anyone heard anything about any departures for sure yet ? – Kind of surprising not a peep yet
-
Dix taking a visit to KU starting tonight then will head to Illinois after.

No official ones but there won’t be much left after it’s all done
-
U mean not many left at KU? Do u think they are wanted here at home?
-
@BeddieKU23 ya , that’s what farmer was saying the other night
-
If all moving that’s expected there might be only a few guys back from the current roster

Just got a KU offer already. Woohoo.

Sounds like academics are reaaaally important to him. So that could be an issue for us.

@BShark enter cute nerd girls stage left.

Just saw that. Not much we can do if that’s the path he chooses
-
Yeah, getting an Ivy degree and a master’s in 4 years all while playing basketball is super impressive. He’s going to be successful long after his playing days.
-
Reed Bailey. @BeddieKU23 to the courtesy phone LOL
-
He puts up numbers I’ll give him that

Been told there is already mutual interest, will have to see how far it goes…

Hard pass on the Cornell kid. 6”7 only shot 32% from 3. Didn’t even average 15 pts in Ivy League. Who ever for ku has been doing the transfer scouting needs to sit this round out. Go get the New Mexico kid for PG and go back to 4 guard athletic lineup. Let’s not get the Ivy League version of KJ

Dent isn’t going to KU. Not every player wants to go to KU.
-
Maybe so but we can do better then some mediocre Ivy League guy
-
Now that that’s over, anyone want Wagner?
-
Absolutely

Ehhh. Obviously can score and some nice skill but wouldn’t take as a starter.

Been going down the Josh Dix rabbit hole since he’s the first major target.
As I’ve seen in other places think Gradey Dick role with less athleticism. Seems like a smart player and is efficient. 40% career 3 pt shooter, doubled his total of made 3’s from Soph to Jr year. Good passer (nearly 3 assists a game), low turnover rate, good cutter to the basket and finishes efficiently there too which we desperately need. I can imagine a lot of kick outs from DP and whoever else for spot up 3’s and that’s a really good role for him here. Since he’s a good cutter he can get defensives focusing on his shot and get easy baskets at the hoop as well. Defensively, I’m just going to hope he’s good enough to not be picked on.
My concerns- 1 year left, you’re in the same boat next year needing to replace him. Not a great athlete but good enough. Low volume of FT’s & avg rebounding. There are trade-offs of course with him.
I see the fit, I see the need (shooting and efficiency). I think if you land him and he’s a starter the other pieces must be athletes around him so that’s where roster building is important. You add one piece to the chess board and now your subsequent moves should be reactive to that. I like this take if it happens in a vacuum but do have concerns what other pieces we pursue/get as well because I don’t think you can get another starter type player that isn’t a high level athlete.

Mostly the ping because he was a Brewster kid I think so your friend might have some thoughts on him if he coached him.

Zach Clemence is in the portal officially.

Asking him right now

Here’s a big one, Ryan Conwell from Xavier in the portal. GO get em Bill (if you can).
-
Another old friend alert- LSU’s Vyctorious Miller in- avg nearly 9ppg as a freshman on 19 minutes per game. We were in on him last year before passing I believe. He’s got the size of a guard we could use.

Hope he finds the right fit and can be successful next season.

Lamar Wilkerson- eyes on…

Bryson Tucker in the portal. I’d imagine we won’t pursue but mention anyway due to relationship

Liked his film. Another really good shooter. I see interest is high outside of us too

Josh Dix has done pretty well against top ken pom-- shooting wise anyways.-- He has sixty eight games played against top one hundred ken pom and shot 42 % from the three – -Against top fifty kenpom he has forty six games played , percentage dropped a little but not much he has 42 games played and he shot 39 % from the three.- - Kid is 6’6 good catch and shoot-- shot 63 % on corner three’s Low turnover with the ball-- hope he is one we can convince to come

Kind of bittersweet, had high hopes for him dating back to his sunrise days, I remember us talking about him a lot and his shooting ability that never translated up for some reason. Boy did he fall short of what he could have been. I’m glad he turned his situation around for the better. Wish him the best

I’m skeptical how his shooting would translate because he’s a one hit wonder as far as shooting a high percentage and I’m always skeptical about players like that. This was always my concern with Timberlake as well which played out where he couldn’t come close to duplicating his shooting numbers.
-
Always a concern but the dude put up nearly 250 3s this yr and shot 44%. 37 and 34% his first two years and big improvement this yr so perhaps it was a product of role/experience etc. His 2pt % and efg % both higher then Timberlakes best year. It sounds like a lot of other big programs are interested as well
-
Josh bascoe tape from Bucknell was fun. Small but some real quickness and finishing ability around the rim.

PJ Haggerty waiting room

The one I’m waiting for as well. He’s going to ask for a silly amount of cash

Sounds a lot like Timberlake who also had a 10% jump in 3 point shooting at a pretty high volume (200+) and if I’m remembering correctly, KU had to fight off UConn for Timberlake so he had plenty of interest from top programs as well.
He could end up being a good high major player, I’m just always skeptical about low major players with his type of profile translating to a P5 program.

Keyshawn Hall lets goooo

@FarmerJayhawk lets get him

Are there rumblings of mutual interest between Keyshawn and Kansas?
