2021 Transfer Talk/List
-
-
Bishop to Texas.
-
Good for them
-
He could very well start there whereas Bossi said Self told him he would be coming off the bench.
-
All good. Let’s just beat Texas.
-

Bishop to Texas.
Bishop’s a much better fit at Texas than at Kansas.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah I don’t think he had a real defined role for KU. You can’t play two non-shooting bigs.
-
He will be a pain in our ass for the next two years
-
@Woodrow agree. Good basketball player that could find his niche with any team. Oh well, on to the next
-
Akinjo into the portal. Please at least contact him Bill.
-
That UTEP Big that scorched us is in the portal. His former coach is at Texas
-
The Eastern Washington big that burned us in the portal too. He’s considering Texas and Oklahoma lol
-

Maybe, but did we need and 8th big? I would have taken him but I can see why he picked Texas.
-
@BShark remember vital fell on him and punctured his lung, long recoup
-
What about Wilson’s buddy from OU? Harmon?
-

Apparently they are actually not close. Heard that KU won’t even talk to Harmon because Jalen will be back and they can’t co-exist. RJ also doesn’t like Harmon and RJ and Jalen are of course close. This is all hearsay of course but the guy I am hearing it from has always had correct info about Jalen. Lives in Texas, knows his HS coach I believe.
-
@BShark Self can’t sign everyone. he already has too many players to keep happy. he is going to have a lot of transfers already.
-
Transfers are the new normal
-
@BeddieKU23 ughhh
-
I also think the new normal will be signing as many quality players as possible. See who thrives, and the disgruntled ones can leave to find more fertile pastures. But from a coach’s perspective, those guys still provide valuable practice minutes.
I think one reason we didn’t do so well this year is because our scout team couldn’t make our offense better with effective D, especially Gethro.
-
@mayjay The KU bench was heinously bad this year by KU standards. Definitely didn’t help like you said.
Another thing will be low and mid majors are going to have their better players leave for big schools much more often now once they prove they can play.
-
Pre pandemic transfer numbers had leveled out around 700 players per off-season. We’re around 1500 now but I don’t think we’ll see numbers this high on a regular basis going forward because of the rule only allowing players to transfer once without sitting out a year. I also don’t see numbers going back to pre pandemic numbers either. I think we’ll end up seeing numbers closer to around 1,000 players moving per off-season.
I do think most transfers will be freshmen who don’t pan out or get minutes they expect and low and mid major players getting cherry picked to fill in gaps on P5 rosters.
-
So is there still any other names we should kind of keep our eye on OR are we done ? -Any other players that might be interested ?

Do not think we are done
-
KU still needs a 2/3 style player for sure and should be the priority with the one for sure scholarship available and a pure wing depending on what Ochai does which I believe he’ll be gone. The staff also needs to keep in contact with a starting caliber 4 in case Wilson makes a mistake and doesn’t return.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I think it’s fairly telling in regards to Wilson that Bishop ended up at Texas. Of course things can change. Sure hope he comes back.
-
Marcus Williams to Texas A&M
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Marcus Williams to Texas A&M
Makes sense. Bossi said he needed to be back closer to home in Texas. A&M also needs guys badly.
-
@BShark @mayjay no doubt. Another thing that the new transfer rule will help to bring about is the deserved death of the OAD rule. It might help the mid-majors too, since with so many of players transferring to P5 schools (exhausting their scholarship limits) more highschool talent will be available to sign than there used to be.

The NCAA has zero control over the OAD rule. That’s part of the NBA CBA and will be around for at least 2-3 more years. With more players going the G-League route, I don’t necessarily see the NBA getting rid of the OAD rule when they redo their next CBA.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Immediately playing after transferring might actually hurt the NBA “minor league” as players use the opportunity to go someplace where they can play more without the pressure of staying on a competitive roster for not that much money. That could help mid-major schools get disenchanted top 100’s.
-
NCAA basketball is being destroyed right before our eyes.

I don’t see the new rule hurting the G-League at all and this probably actually helps them attract more kids in reality by selling kids on not dealing with the politics of recruiting.
-
@wissox in what way?
-
Tanner groves is off to Norman Oklahoma and Jacob
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 probably kick our rears
-
KU beat him once, and will do it again.
-
Unreal
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I know that… And I do see the NBA getting rid of it.
-
Former West Virginia Emmitt Matthews ends up at Washington.
Joey Brunk making his way around the Big-10, going from Indiana to Ohio St
Aaron Estrada leaving Oregon.
Arizona St lands their 4th transfer, getting DJ Horne of Indiana St

This young sniper has entered the portal.
-
The last Iowa import worked out pretty well
-
Enaruna to Iowa St.
Lots of kids trolling KU this offseason
-
DJ Jeffries to Miss St
-

DJ Jeffries to Miss St
Slater had this one quite awhile ago interestingly enough.
-
Wonder if he’ll be right about Brakefield as well
-

Pretty rare when he misses.
He played it PERFECTLY with the Tyson Walker gif choice.
-
@BeddieKU23 That team could be salty. I think they are returning their 3 best players and then are adding Brooks and Jeffries.
Sleeper in the SEC for sure.
-
@Kcmatt7 SEC always has a ton of talent these days. Strong ass league.
-
Lots of funny money to throw around.
