Also, just browsing through several 2026 NBA mock draft projections, I saw 4 different KU players show up, and potentially a 5th depending on what happens with Sarr.
We all know Peterson is OAD and in the mix to be the #1 pick in 2026. I did see Dame Sarr as top 20 pick, and also saw Flory, Tre White, and Bryson Tiller as second round picks in the various mock drafts out there. I did not see Darrion Williams on any 2026 mock draft which means most draft guys think he’ll stay in because I saw quite few names that have declared this year being projected as 2026 picks.
This year, KU has zero players invited to the combine. First time in quite awhile and very fitting…

@BShark Says a lot about talent evaluation of guys not only once they get here but after they’ve been here
-
@kuballin10 Seems like evaluation of talent is just fine, let’s see Christian Braun - - Frank Mason - - -Devonte Graham- - Jalon Wilson - — Grady Dick- – - -Kelly Oubre - --seem pretty good evaluating their talent and development just fine…
Plus there have been countless kids from other programs that are suppose to be sure fire NBA locks and don’t do squat end up overs sea’s NBA busts falling flat on their face.- - So in the end they end up no better then many , many KU players that have ended up over sea’s so what’s te point? - who was doing the evaluating their talent ?- -Not Coach Self he isn’t the one who turn them into bust who got nothing from the NBA ? - that’s just fricken laughable

Get me Dame coach….

Soon
I can’t let Altman get this win man.
-
They gotta get the Sarr deal done soon or I think Duke makes another run
-
Duke is always a concern. They operate on a different playing field.
-
Duke is looking at Claude now so we’ll see…

Please by all means Jon, take the player Florida passed on.

Sounds like a Sarr visit this weekend

Sounds sensational. Appreciate the scoop Farmer
-
@FarmerJayhawk That sounds some encouraging anyways. Now if ew can just convince him and close the deal while he is here would be great anyways
-
Bossi confirmed the Farmer scoop…
Time to seal the deal
-
As far sa I know Sarr hasn’t set a visit to Oregon yet-- - which is suppose to be the other contender for him - – maybe he won’t bother

That’s the hope, got the first visit and shut it down.
-
@BeddieKU23 sure hope so buddy

Yeah, found it mindlessly entertaining. Sarr is the new Storr.

I wonder how much ad revenue such things generate.

It was in the back of my mind that the site was sleazy in some way.

First post I’ve ever seen of theirs. It was just an amalgamation of junk information. Devoid of analysis or really a point. But it was about a KU recruit and interesting enough to parse.

Yep. AI bots I assume.

My , My , My - – – - Only one word I can think if right now that fits DP - - -( BALLER ) the kid is a flat out BALLER.- -he does it all, he can score inside-- - he can score outside-- -he can drive and dish— -he can drive and flush ,-- he can rebound - -he can drain the three----- he hits pull up J’s- - he can defend- - hits clutch game time shots lead the beak-- -he can handle the ball.
The kids expression hardly ever changes - --just goes out and takes care of business.- – ( BALLER ) mark it down-- enjoy him for the year guys , gonna be the # 1 or # 2 pick in NBA draft-- – -DP- – -THE BALLER

An Oregon insider just put in a Crystal Ball pick for Sarr to KU- - -FWIW
-
Yeah I don’t know man…
-
His likely to visit Gonzaga
-
@BShark or @FarmerJayhawk y’all got anything about what KU’s plans are now that Williams, Sarr, and Fland are off the table?
-
KJ’s recovery is ahead of schedule and Bill is hoping that’s his last starter
-

I think they are setting up a visit to see @wissox.

Hope no one believes this…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Might be possible to get an answer today, I’ll try. Lot of upset people yesterday. Bill definitely thought he could close Williams.
-
Hopefully by September we got euros ready to ball or something

Dajuan is going the Ziegler route and will try to sue the NCAA soon as well

Please no. I pray this is just a bad joke.

People are being stupid!

Doin’ awhat comes natcherly…
-
@TYOHawk He’d be the starting pg and move DP to the 2. If you thought AFH looked empty at times this year more so than 2 decades it would be brutal if D2 magically came back
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Haggerty if he comes back to school or, more likely, we go the international route.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Haggerty isn’t coming here trust me on this one. I get the whole “things change” but there seems to be a zero chance on this one

June 15 is the withdrawal date for the NBA. Next 3 weeks will be it for domestic based players. There’s really only 3 needle movers that if they withdrew would go to new schools, Jamir Watkins, RJ Luis, and PJ Haggerty.
Jamir Watkins and RJ Luis are positional needs for KU as they’re both wings. Watkins had a great combine and really boosted his draft stick to where he seems more likely to stay in at this point. Luis didn’t have a good combine and isn’t expected to stay in the draft. Luis being the #2 option here would take some pressure off of him. His NIL budget is also expected to be within KU’s remaining budget.
The other option would be Haggerty who, like Luis, had a bad combine showing and is likely headed back to college. If Haggerty came here, then either he or Peterson would have to move off ball. Haggerty’s name has been strongly linked to NC State, but I don’t know how Darrion Williams affects that because Haggerty is likely to have the biggest NIL demands of the 3 players.
If KU doesn’t land any of those three, really two, then it’s the international market where KU is looking at some players.

@FarmerJayhawk Does Darrion Williams going to NC State affect their ability to land Haggerty? I know it doesn’t affect anything in regards to positions, but NC State cut Williams a bigger check than we did, so do they still have the funds for Haggerty or did Wade basically choose Williams over Haggerty and Haggerty has to look elsewhere?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 so what about Luis? Heard we’re not interested, and how much is he wanting?
