2021 Transfer Talk/List
-
Really hope your right regarding Walker.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Clemence has the better chance of cracking the rotation immediately. He’s a natural stretch 4 with a game very similar to Perry Ellis both the good and the bad about Perry.
KJ Adams is a work in progress and likely a year away from being a rotation guy. Adams is a poor man’s Dedric Lawson and could be an undersized post on time.
Clemence is a pure finesse player that will never be a great fit at the 5 unless it’s a 5 out line up. Curry and Adams are both better suited to be post in a 4 out set.
-
Umass star Foward Tre Mitchell in the portal. Averaged 18 and 7. first team Atlantic 10 this year.
Al Durham of Indiana in the portal. That was quick
-
Kyky Tandy of Xavier in the Portal. Talented former Top 100 guard

Would take lol
-
KU has reached out to Al Durham, among MANY other heavies.
-
@BShark Does he just not count against the scholarship count or something because he’d be a 5th year?
-
@Kcmatt7 Not sure. I’d rather have guys back than add him tbh,

The only two players on KU’s roster that would not impact scholarship numbers for next season are Garrett and Lightfoot. KU is currently at 14 scholarships for next season (15 if Garrett came back for whatever reason) so someone would have to transfer out to make room for any incoming transfer player.

Oh really good point since he’s a Sr… Just guessing if Mitch doesn’t count, Durham wouldn’t either with the rule.
-
Trade him for Jossell. that seems like a W/W
-
@BeddieKU23 it would make a lot of sense for why top programs are after a pretty dime a dozen player
-
Transfer portal quickly approaching 500. Things are just getting started…
Penn State is having a fire sale.
Their two leading scorers Jones (15ppg) & Brockington( 12ppg) (both guards) have hit the portal as well as 4th, 6th & 8th leading scoreres. Jones is the best of the bunch.
-
They call March Madness but really this offseason for personnel going elsewhere might be the real Madness
-
Durham 38% from 3 the last two years (74/194) seems to be a big reason as well as 171 made FT’s. Could be a nice bench piece for a good team
-
Only played in 6 games but Bucknell Forward/Wing John Meeks is transferring. Averaged 25 ppg on 49% FG, 38% 3pt, 85% FT line to go with 6 boards. Interesting
-

Writing was on the wall when he sat out due to COVID.
-
@BShark dodged a bullet thete
-
Portal over 500, may get to 6 by the time the tourney starts. Crazy
-
How do you even sort through everyone if you’re Self
-
I like Myreon Jones from PSU a lot. Definitely a volume shooter but shoots it really well from 3. PER would’ve been second for us among rotation players. I think there’s still some defensive potential to unlock too.
-
Ooo yes this could work great.
Coming off the books: Mitch, Garrett, Silvio, maybe a transfer or two
Additions: Clemence, Adams, Curry, transfer 1, transfer 2.
Add Jones and Walker. Start Walker, Jones, Ochai, Wilson, Dave. Braun the super sub. Harris first guard off the bench. Slide Mitch or Curry in at the 5 for 10 MPG. Clemence or TGF can back up Wilson. 9ish guys you really feel good about.
-
Where’s Bryce going??
-
@BeddieKU23 also out my memory hole apparently
-
Scared me for a second. Will be interesting to see that Braun/Bryce battle for a starting spot next season

Is most of these players transferrin Seniors or what my friend ? - - This thing is just going to be insane. - -I wonder in reality if we end up with anyone
-
@BeddieKU23 yeah! Sorry. It’s inevitable I forget someone when doing these mock rosters. I think Bryce has the higher ceiling and given Braun kind of seemed off all year I might give the edge to Bryce.
@jayballer67 all over the board my man. Everyone from juniors to seniors to freshmen. Walker is a sophomore with 3 to play. Meeks is a grad transfer with 1 to play. Jones is a junior with 2 to play.
-
Yeah I’d take Myreon Jones in a heartbeat. Though for that to happen we probably would need someone actually in the rotation to go pro or something.

oh ok buddy kinda thought so - - just thought I’d check appreciate it buddy. -Hope we land Tyson
-
I forget certain players all the time when doing my own mocks.
Definitely the way Bryce has bounced back from injuries and Braun’s inconsistent offense gives him a chance for next yr. It is difficult to beat out kids under Self once they start starting, especially kids Self trusts. Either way if they both make the next leap in their development we are going to have two very good guards
-

KU kicking the tires here. Would imagine Self wants two guards.
-
@BShark Interesting. Played nobody this year. But at the very least he looks like he can hit a 3.
-
portal hits 550 overnight.
Firesale going on at Cincinnati as well, 5 guys gone. Penn St’s entire starting 5 has transferred as Seth Lundy hits the portal
Cincinnati notables:
Tari Eason- 6’8 Former 3 star prospect but just outside 4 star land averaged 7.3ppg & 5.9 boards 1.3 blks. Looked like a guy who by Jr/Sr year is a all-conference type
Mike Saunders- 3 star PG played with Enaruna
-
19th leading scorer in the country this year.
43% from 3 on 39 makes in only 10 games, wow that’s almost 4 a game.
Last two years- 104/252 for 41%. Yeah we need a Moss on this team. Started his career at Minnesota fyi
-
Well Pitino from Minnesota gets fired & - - - Jamai Mashburn enters the port
-
Portal hits over 600 as I expected.
Fatts Russell of Rhode Island hit the portal. PG didn’t have the greatest year 14.7 ppg, 33% fg. 23% 3pt, looks like his team sucked but as a Jr averaged 18 ppg. He’s a good guard and will play at a big P5 school. Was always impressed watching him play.
SG Jamal Johnson of Auburn- Avg 9ppg, 56 made 3’s
SG Symir Torrence of Marquette- Former Top 100 kid never carved out a role there.
Cincinnati had another rotation player hit the portal. SG Mason Madsen, 6ppg as a freshman. Down to 4 scholarship players. What is happening there?
F KJ Buffen of Ole Miss- 8ppg, 4 boards
Jamal Mashburn- as @jayballer67 mentioned- 8ppg and was having some good games at end of season
-
Good Gordon and Rudi leaving BRUUUUCE.

oh crap - -the other Gordon leaving too? - -man , you know I had heard that ol squeeks was going to retire after this Season - - well if that turns out to be the case that would be a good reason to retire
-
Wow Gordon at a good school will be deadly, he was really starting to develop.
-

So they lose Both Gordans and the Rudy kid. - he was an OK player for them too from what I saw
-
Probably more to come too
-
Marcus Carr of Minnesota hits the Portal. Guard Averaged near 20 ppg. Will be his 3rd school wherever he lands which I figure will be another P5 program
-

Definitely a volume/empty stats guy. Not sure he’s a fit.
-
My thoughts exactly.
-
Official DaJaun Gordon in the portal from K-St. Commence meltdown in, I’m sure its already happening in mancrappin

From bad to worse. After signing their “greatest recruiting class of all time”.
-
They have to fire Bruce but I’m kind of happy they haven’t. But seriously he’s gotta go

There were rumours he would “retire” but those got squelched.
