Hard to be mad not landing him when we dropped bags for Remy and Yesufu.
Only so much budget, this is true. Texas must be sinking a lot of money into hoops right now.
I would consider Chris Beard a top 10 coach and said as soon as he was hired that Texas would return to their early to mid 2000’s form when they were a consistent top 10 team and KU-Texas games were appointment viewing.
Nike is going to begin funneling a lot of elite level talent to Austin because of Beard and the UT brand. Kansas, Baylor, and Texas will all be top tier programs and make each other better prepared for runs in March/April.
-
@BShark I’m sure that Beard took that job with the understanding he would be give the “resources” to win.
-
@jayballer67 that Beard is going to make them a national force, maybe not this year but soon, there is no doubt. That dude can flat out coach.

Agree , however with Texas being that " FOOTBALL school " that Texas is like you say the fans are Football fans, it’s going to take consistency of at least 3-4 years of hard core beat down Ball for they become 100 % totally convinced. It’s hard for Football Schools traditionally Football it’s hard to convince them that they can also have a really good Basketball. After 3-4 yrs then ya the place will fill to capicity until then i’s going to be a slow trend - -Be Careful don’t stumble , you stumble watch how fast they fly right back out. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer67 No doubt, a football school. But he’ll have them in the tournament this year, and he’ll all but own Texas high school basketball talent, which is another reason why he poached Snacks who has been recruiting Texas pretty well. And unlike some, I realize that Texas does have players. Is it Cali, New York, Illinois or Florida? No, but there is talent there. And he’ll get out of state talent too. Look at what he did at Texas Tech.

Oh I agree Texas is loaded with talent , and I’m not saying he won’t bring them to a different level - -BUT it going to take time and it’s going to take convincing not just 1 year or 2 years.
Also can’t go quite as far as you on him owning the state of Texas for recruiting - -True other blue bloods well wait Ain’t no way I’m going to call Texas a blue blood because of Beard BUT True blue bloods will still if the talent is ther DUKE - -KENTUCKY - - -KU- - NORTH CAROLINA - GONZAGA - - MICHIGAN STATE - they still coming and they will STILL get their fair share of that Texas Talent , not willing to go there and say he will OWN the Texas Talent sorry - -these other blue bloods have gotten themselves established there to solid for that to happen
-
@jayballer67 no, he won’t get them all, too many. But look at what Sampson has done at Houston.

Marcus Carr withdrew from the draft. Someone is going to get a heck of a PG.

Old friend of the progrum Kofi Cockburn is going portaling. If Och doesn’t come back you move mountains to get him.

Wow - -that’s news I can’t remember where he signed for sure, but I think we were in on him at the start a little weren’t we? - -All I knew was I thought he would be a really big pick up. - Probably nothing out of this but we could dream lol

We should now fairly soon here we stand with our 3 Wilson - - -Martin - -And Och - -Still think we get two out of the three back
-
For sure looks like KU isn’t the only Big 12 team active with this transfer thing this off Season. Our old friend down at TCU - - Jamie been quite active.
TCU will have a total of NINE new players , 8 - - from Transfers & a signing.
Jamie pick up 2 from Texas A & m. , Peavy from Texas Tech transferred there , Damion Baugh from Memphis transferred there , & Jakobe Coles from Butler - -A kid from Vanderbilt. - -Then they signed it said one of the top Juco Big men - -Souleymone , Doumbet - -Jamie tryint to get mean lol - a couple of nice additions though fro real

This would be nice, although a lot of people seem to think that Cockburn will follow Ron Coleman and Orlando Antigua to Kentucky.
-
Kofi Cockburn is better than Dave, but going all out to bring him in also risks destroying team chemistry by alienating one of the leaders of the team.
If Ochai doesn’t come back, a game ready, back up 4 is probably the need unless the staff thinks Zach Clemence is ready to play 10-15 minutes per game out of the gate.

Agree. It would also run the risk of hurting relationships with Team Loaded and Oak Hill, which you don’t want of course.

This is the type of player Self should target if Ochai stays in the draft.
-

There could be room if Self makes Ochai’s decision for him.
-
Obanor is arguably better then Ochai. He was really good in the NCAA tournament

Would be benching one Oak Hill kid for another so they might just not care. Especially if Kofi pulls a Doke and makes a leap
-
Between the 2 behemoths we could get 40 minutes out of them. They both foul a lot and can’t play a ton of minutes so this would be awesome thing to have. Of course Kofi isn’t coming here with Dave here. Pencil him in at Duke or something
-
Also if Obanor wants to come you wish Ochai well and move on him. A better replacement for Jalen but asking him to transfer now is an absolute dick move. 7/1 was the deadline to enter the portal for immediate eligibility.
-
It’s all just dream talk anyway.

@BShark yep.

Ochai is gone.

@Marco do you know something about Och that I don’t or do you have a hunch? Just curious because I’m somewhat confident Och returns
-
@Oldmanhawk said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

He’s not basing that on anything verifiable. Ochai’s decision is largely going to be influenced by whether or not he gets any assurances of signing a two-way contract with a team after the draft because he isn’t going to be drafted after his underwhelming combine performance.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 have you heard anyone close to Och say that this would be how he makes his decision, or are you assuming that this is how his decision will be made because it is logical?

Ochai is gone.
Agree Ochai is I think Gone. - -whether it be in G league stint or over sea’s I just really feel his KU days are done. - -Bottom line is I don’t really think there is a lot more ceiling for him , I think he hasa almost reached what he is what he has got. - - Pretty good College player - - ( at times ) other times you would even know he was on our roster
You stop and think about it , the doorway to the NBA is pretty narrow. I mean you got 60 players drafted out of how many hopefuls ? - -there is just not a lot of room for error. - -He just not quite good enough to make the roster , like so many others seeking NBA kind of a tweener , pretty good College but not quite Good enough for the NBA. we have seen it before Yet there is still enough various Leagues around and like i said over sea’s there is room for money to be made.
Who know ? - -maybe in a couple of years he MIGHT improve his skills enough where he can give it another shot. Yet he can be making SOME kind of money while working on those things he needs to improve on. - -I just don’t see him coming back. Actually if he doesn’t I think we are going to be just fine with what we got.
Jalen coming back helps a lot -Still think Remy shows, we have those two with what is here - - we are legit
-
-
@Oldmanhawk I don’t think that he’ll be able to improve his draft stock any by returning. If he did or does come back, his playing time will probably be decreased.
-
-
39% from the field is a bit concerning but hopefully his shooting efficiency would go up with less volume.

For sure. Minnesota was ass terrible and John Wooden little Ricky was not

Remy + Carr and we are natty favourites.

@FarmerJayhawk it won’t open for me. What’s this about?

@rockchalkwyo KU, UK, Texas, and Louisville, among others, are heavily recruiting Marcus Carr.
Texas seems to be the best fit on paper but we’ll see.

Only works numbers wise if Ochai stays in the draft.

Ya, I thought so and I hate to say it but Dam - I think this kid for some reason ends up at Texas. - -Mercy hope not they would be LOADED for Bear

Is KU pushing for Carr because Martin is planning on staying in the draft?
Because that’s the only reason for KU to be going after Marcus Carr.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 have we heard any news on him? Did he play in the G league combine?

Negative, it’s in case Ochai stays in. Plan would be to play Carr and Remy together a la 2008 with Yesufu playing the role of Sherron, just not as good. Braun and JCL hold down the 3 spot.
