Oh hai https://247sports.com/Article/UMKC-senior-Brandon-McKissic-hits-the-transfer-market-162881730/
Also yes.
Seems like to me, KU can and should take two guards. Imagine there will be plenty of room.
I am fascinated more then usual about what the roster turnover is going to be after this year. It is so easy to leave now and kids want to play.
Yeah this year especially was always going to be insane.
-
@BShark So all these transfers their going to be eligible immediately ?
-
Yes.
-
I’m fascinated because we got 3-4 guys on scholarship that will never make a big difference in the win loss column of this team. This fascinates me also in regards to Self, does he have loyalty for guys or asks guys to find themselves a more appropriate level to play at. Will be interesting to see the chess match after the season.

Imagine this will sort itself out just fine.

@BeddieKU23 easier to ask guys to leave if they don’t have to sit out

Exactly. Portal will probably hit over 1000. More names will start enter as teams are eliminated from the tournament.
-
@FarmerJayhawk We in on Kellan Grady?
-
Need 5 more that can score like him
-

I think Walker and Grady would move the needle enough for next year.
-
@BShark idk, too early to say. I hope we get involved though.
-
portal hitting 750
Savion Flagg- Texas A&M
Armaan Franklin- Indiana
Joe Bamisile- Virginia Tech
Brendan Adams- Uconn
Tye Fagan- Georgia
-
KU will be taking a look at Brandon McKissic.
-
750? Thats insane. Thats like 50 full teams including walk ons.
-
KU will add 3+ to the list. I’d set the over/under at 3.5
-
Donovan Williams and Royce Hamm of Texas enter the portal
-
Xavier Pinson of methzu in
-

I’d probably go under but 3.5 is the perfect betting number for it. Will be 3 or 4 leaving.
-
Erik Stevenson with the old double transfer.

oh damm thats kind big - -Hamm not a bad player
-
Brendan mckissic just got done with a completed cell with Kansas
-
@BShark hardest of passes
-
McKissic might be one you can get to be the bench guard with experience. 50% fg, 42% from 3, 3 ast, 1.5 stls. Troubling that he is a below 70% ft shooter and turns the ball over at a high rate. If he is the 2nd transfer guard we get to a better one im good with it.
Remember watching him last yr at the sprint center in person and thought he was one of 2 roos that could compete
-
Busy day in the portal. Up to 800 names now. Lots to unpack
Josh Roberts- St Johns
Rodney Chatman- Dayton (good defender, Harris type)
John Newman- Clemson
Feron Flavors- Oklahoma St
Jordan McCabe- West Virginia
Mickey Pearson- TCU
Aaron Wheeler- Purdont’
Darius McNeill- SMU
Jalen Johnson- Wake Forest
-
PG Jamir Harris choose Seton Hall. Patriot league star averaged 20 ppg

Yeah he took a big jump this year. I think he’d be a bench guy as well.
Seems like the names to pay close attention to for KU are Walker, Washington and McKissic. Possibly Bobby Pettiford.
-
Mckissic was defensive POY in the conference as well. He’s not a starter at program like KU but I would definitely be intrigued with him coming in to be a rotation piece. Doesn’t help us get bigger, longer, athletic though… Walker and Ty Washington/Pettiford do that…

Isaiah Moss 2.0. You’d think in the right role where doesn’t have to go get 18 every night the TO rate would go down. Just come in and be a 3 and D guy for 15-20 MPG.

Whoaaa , wait what ? - - ok let me ask was McCabe a SR at West Virginia if not I don’t understand he was seeing quite a bit of playing time he was a SR right so would be a grad transfer also kind of curious about flavors transferring - -seem like he was getting quite a bit of floor time
-
This transfer situation is just getting insane
-
Both were bench players. Believe McCabe was a Jr.
-
Tyson Walker will announce this weekend what school he will be transferred to Michigan stMaryland Texas Kansas Miami Vanderbilt
-
Oh boyy. Hope its KU
-
Not landing him would be very ungood
-
Maybe the most ideal part of the season ending is having the chance to recruit him into the weekend.
-
In slaterbombs we trust’
-
I like our chances
-
The likely choice for a walker will be Michigan State

Endless motor sports @Endless motor_spots 8m Michigan state is in good position here

KU having a second call with McKissic in as many days this afternoon.

This one is with Self I believe. Could wrap soon. 15-20 minute guy off the bench I think

Mentioned in a twitter group chat yesterday that he would be a Moss type addition.
Fun fact: you add this kid and Xavier Johnson for TGF and Enaruna, KU projects as the #2 team in the country. Of course other teams will improve too, but yeah.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Is this because they don’t feel good about Walker?
-
I think getting Mckissic would be in addition to another. Self knows he needs guards and he’s local that’s ideal circumstances. Get one to start, one to have a rotation role. We’ll see how it shakes out
-
@Woodrow I think independent of Walker. McKissic seems like a bench/role player off the ball
-
Agree with the two posts above me. McKissic is a complementary player and would be good to have as a secondary ball handler but not primary. Add him in addition to Walker or TyTy imo. Then suddenly the ball handling situation is in GREAT shape with two point guards (Harris being one) and McKissic.
Also McKissic has the added benefit of only having one year left. We don’t want to muddy things too much when we have Cuffe coming.
-
I guess to me it just seems weird to take a rotational guy before a starter. However, I guess in these transfer times you have to take what you can get when you can.

Yeah they need both so I don’t think order matters too much.
-
Walker will announce this weekend. Not sure when McKissic will pop but obviously Self and the staff have been in quick contact. I think these situations are not exclusive.
To me this does speak to someone in the starting 5 or rotation that won’t be returning. That’s just a guess right now or they feel McKissic is a good rotation 2 guard that would split minutes with Thompson (theoretically). So many possible moving parts.
