Does he have a Darnell Jackson vibe to him? Not super springy, but hustles and works hard lower to the ground?
-
Yeah good backup option, old as well (22). Hes a bruiser we desperately need
-
Boy oh boy would I like to add a few warm bodies to the roster
-
Yeah it’s just transcript issues with Dessert. My sister was responsible for transcript evals when she was in athletics and always said international SAs were pains in the ass to get cleared.
-
This is a big one (literally) if they can get all the logistics in order. I think this is the biggest remaining need to ensure this team has enough front court depth + he’s going to have a good-sized role.
Another Wing Shooter is still priority 1A, but they may have to live with what they got. Perhaps they get lucky shaking the trees this summer as we’ve seen Coit/Furphy join the team late in the last two years and have impacts.

Reporter for 247 quoted HCBS as saying we needed to add a 15ppg wing (3/4) to “have a complete roster.”

He did say that, they tried to get that from Sarr and Williams but didn’t have the NIL funds to win out. Now they are likely getting Dessert who probably is going to take a significant amount of that NIL pool. I doubt there’s funds to get that 15ppg scorer and given what NIL it takes to get top level guys we may be done after this one. Of course everything is still fluid, perhaps there’s an international player with a price range where Self can shake a booster tree one more time but I wouldn’t count on it as of today…

Cant we defer payment or something? Sign it in blood? I remain skeptical that money is the issue.

Vernon is reporting the Student Visa thing could also be part of the hold up on Dessert @mayjay but who knows, he’s not a trustworthy source.
Pat Suemnick is still another potential addition that visited for front court depth. I’d take both if we can afford it.

We don’t need both Dessert and Suemnick. Suemnick is nothing but a warm body. There is the possibility that judge overseeing this process could grandfather in walk ons not counting against roster limits per Swain at the Phog.
“Now, there are questions about walk-ons and how those spots will be handled. The House Settlement was initially going to limit roster spots and opportunities for walk-ons. But, the judge overseeing the settlement has made grandfathering in walk-ons a priority. If the walk-ons are grandfathered in, it would allow players like Wilder Evers and Justin Cross to remain on the roster without counting against a roster limit spot.”
If the judge ends up grand fathering in walk ons, then Suemnick is fine to add.

I was listening to the Jay Hawk Slant podcast last night and they were talking about foot ball recruiting and Basketball recruiting and portal updates.
Shay Bedore ( I know the last name spelling isn’t right ) but you know who I mean. Shay one of the insiders usually pretty good said a source had told him a France Big Man 6’11 & 245 by the Name of Bryon Sassaar ( I’ don’t know for sure the last name-- -BUT he had been told this was a guy for sure to keep an eye on as he was trending towards KU pretty quickly- -guessing us & Auburn, but said he was trending towards Ku pretty hard I dunno, but might be our back up for Flory - we shall see.
-
@SlimShaddy54 struggling to find info on him. Got a link?
-
I love how we are recruiting only backup bigs and not starting wings

To be fair I don’t think too many starting wings are available in June.

@approxinfinity No buddy I sure don’t. All I got was from the KU podcast itself.- -Yet I truly apologize to ALL KU fans I’m so behind as I didn’t even realize that Dessert was a five, and I think getting Dessert would BY FAR be better then the one I mentioned but sounds like might be some mutual interest.
Looking at Dessert stats is crazy, --Seven footer- —has a 7’4 wing span – -and 9’3 standing reach- - -Doke measured something like 9’1 standing reach Have to agree has to be a typo as the only negative thing if true would be is Dessert had only an EIGHTEEN Inch standing explosion- – that CAN’T BE RIGHT , fricken Dickinson had or was in the Twenties standing and Dessert only has an EIGHTEEN ? Na that can;t be right
-
@TYOHawk Yeah but we should at least be shooting our shot with some international prospects. Maybe we are and there just isnt any smoke about it

Any of these guys still on our radar? https://www.si.com/college/kansas/basketball/five-players-bill-self-and-kansas-can-still-add-to-the-jayhawks-roster

Rosario would have to reclassify and is a Nike product whose stock is rising a bit, but would still be a back up at best at KU next season.
Ven-Allen Lubin committed to NC State earlier this week.
KU appears out of the running for Claude as they haven’t really been connected to him for a few weeks now.
See previous conversation on Suemnick, but he’s nothing more than a practice player.
Ivan Bogdonvic is the name from that list to watch. The other names, not in that article, but also from SI are Ognjen Stankovic and Luka Skoric. All 3 are 6-8 or 6-9 wings with guard skill sets (think Svi) that could come in and impact right away.

@Texas-Hawk-10 thanks

Schulman as the author…woof

@BShark yeah i mean i have no idea who is legit and who isnt. If you guys in the know on who to trust have time to put together a list of which sources to read that would be super helpful for us to play along at home
you drop a name here and there but ive been too lazy to aggregate
-
@approxinfinity just not a fan. He is a real person though
