@rockchalkjayhawk I know this has to be one of the craziest off Seasons in recruiting
-
@rockchalkjayhawk said in The portal.:
So, do we have a team yet?
…as we wait impatiently
That is the question. Reminds me of my enrollment at KU. Didn’t get finalized until middle of July because of some transcripts that didn’t show up. Once I was on campus the team was energized for a FF in 86 and championship 2 years later. I’ll take a similar ending to this years recruiting frustrations.
-
@wissox You need to enroll by mid-July if you want to recreate history. The parallel universes require a certain level of actual parallelness, not just dates. So, where will you be living in Lawrence next semester?
-
@mayjay which dorm?
-
@mayjay Hmm, I’ll have to check with my wife. You see I’m retiring from teaching in one year and would rather go back to work and save my retirement than try to help KU basketball!
-
A lot of teachers in Hashinger Hall. Well, in 1981-82 anyway

A lot of drugs in Hashinger Hall during the late 90s early 2000s. Artsy/hippy dorm then.

Saw some other posts and saying sounds like Self is putting the full court press on Kohl Rosario & Mbiya .
Thing is with Rosario hearing wants big bag & wants lots of minutes, not sure how that is going to go over with staff. on top of that thought we were hurting in NIL money, with I’m sire Reterson & Flory NIL.
Do we want to spend big on Kohl , unproven or spend more om Mbiya who has college experience and try for McDowell for less
-
Looks like we might lead for Rosario who’s very likely to end up in 25. Just saw his rank go from 120’s to 45. Just wrapped up a visit here
-
Sounds like Demir will be a hawk if he can get eligible. Mbiya is also in play, as well as Konan. Konan has eligibility stuff as well. Rosario sounds promising. Looks like the final 3 spots could come from this group
-
@BeddieKU23 Souns good but do we have the money
-
-
-
They are cruiting like they do
-
Eyes on Rosario. Lots of optimism there
-
@BeddieKU23 True might be at that. --IF we by chance would happen to land him I think would be a really good fit with Darryn, Pit him in tthe line up with Darryn , & Flory & himself really makes this team sweet.–Add Council in some where would be nice.
Get our back up big would be food to go. I think Kohl shot like 43 % from the three , that’s a bonus. I gursss he has said he will be making a commitment soon and re-class remains a strong possibility. said he will probably commit sometime this week…
I would think hopefully good news because he committing this weeks chances are more then not he had cancelled his other visits with Texas A & M and Caylor and others. You put that together with he is just coming off his visit here means has to be good right ?- Might be reading to much into this we shall see
-
43% from 3? Man. All worth the wait seems like.
-
Who knew? A winning fantasy strat saving cabbage til the end could be a winner irl too
-

Believe that he signed today.
-
That’s correct, hopefully its announced official soon… been a while between good news
-
@BeddieKU23 So guess he re classified then for 2025 ?
-
Travis Brenham 247 recruiting put in his CB for /kohl at 7;1p.m tonight to KU
-
Alrighty then, bring on that big fella from overseas and we’re getting somewhere.
-
How excited should I be about Old King Kohl?
-
@Jhawk69 you should be a merry old soul?

Bench piece. If he means Samis doesn’t have to play that’s a win imo
-
@BShark so are we still down a starting wing then?

The starting line-up has been set for months

I hope we can get a starter with size next to Flory. If not, it’ll be everybody at what, 6-5, and Flory at 6-9?
Weird for a team that may not be strong from 3 pt land.
-
Tre at 6-7 right? Couldn’t tell you how big he plays though.
Give up some top end size but looks to be an extremely switchable lineup so not all bad.
-
Rosario has signed with KU and it’s official. Nice work shutting down his other visits and getting him signed. Decent shot at carving a role as a freshman as a wing shooter. We’ll see if he can defend anyone.
Demir is still working on eligibility, Mbiya is eligible… Sounds like one of them is more likely then both. Also sounds like one of them is more likely then Konan.
-
@BShark Jackson or Council looking likely to start? Or both and its Dawson is the 1st off the bench.
Had noticed some buzz that Elmarko Jackson is looking good this summer, but nothing specific so was curious if anyone else was hearing the same.
-
Hearing Elmarko has been really good and could push to start. Dawson is a really good 6th man if needed.
-
@BeddieKU23 I myself would love Myiba, the kid is really solid. Defends the rim well things starting to shape up. Also I think Tre is a solid player to might surprise some.

yea i’m in the dark on Tre’s game as well. I thought i read somewhere that he was really 6-5. Hopefully he can rebound at whatever his size/spot on the floor.
Hopefully if Tiller is serviceable, that will help give us some size.
I still have nightmares from those USC freaks…

Elmarko was going to start last year before he got hurt which is one of the reasons I’m much higher in him than most others. It’s also why Self hasn’t pushed as hard for a PG in the portal the way he has for the 2-4 spots.

Evan Mobley was the 3rd pick in the draft. You don’t run up against players like him very often.

Answering multiple questions here
Tre White should start at the four.
I have the starting line-up as DP, Elmarko, Council, White, Flory based on early practice reports. Dawson will play a lot whether he starts or not.
