2021 Transfer Talk/List
-
Holy Crap he is a 65 % career fg shooter? – -- -where is he shooting from lol 3 footers?- - crazy good. - - can’t shoot FT with a plug nickel but ya - -so is he showing any interest in KU ?
-
@jayballer67 He’s from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, so the talk is that potential suitors would be schools in that area (Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, etc.). According to a poster here that I talk to in private chat often, who shall remain nameless, Bishop and his family want him in Lawrence.
-
I think KState, Mizzou, Wichita St, and Tulsa all offered when he was a recruit.
-

Cole Swider to Cuse
This is a good fit they can use his shooting and hide his defense in the zone.
-
Christian Bishop would be a weird fit on KU next season. He played the 5 at Creighton because they were a very small team, but his size lends itself more to being a 4 at KU. He also doesn’t have great range so playing him next to Dave would look very similar to when Dave and Doke were on the floor together last year which didn’t work at all.
I like his game a lot and think he was Creighton’s second best player overall behind Zegarowski. That said, I just don’t see his game being a good fit on next year’s team and I don’t really see him wanting to go from being a 2 year starter to wanting to come off the bench.
-
Well, dammit, Mitch just might have to redshirt again. Maybe for a couple more years with these recruits and transfers coming in.
When he finally leaves KU, he will probably get a gold watch and a pension.
-
Bishop sounds like a total lock. I expect an announcement from Jossell this week (probably early). 100% sure Tyty takes the last spot if he wants to commit.

Let’s hope on the two that you mention might commit

So we still are going to have a team next year that can’t shoot. I’m am shocked Bill did not go get a legit knockdown shooter.

Self probably thinks Ochai stays steady or gets better, Braun returns to form, Harris becomes more of a factor on offense, and Wilson improves a little bit and KU will be a much improved as a shooting team.
KU isn’t that far from being a good shooting team. Ochai was at 38% and pretty consistent. Harris was 65% on his limited attempts this so there’s potential for him to be a 40% guy with increased volume. Wilson getting north of 35% opens up some old school Self high-low action. Braun is the biggest X-factor for next season and if he gets back to the 40% neighborhood, then he once again becomes a very dangerous weapon for KU on offense.
-
@Woodrow if they don’t land TyTy I would guess that is what they try to bring in.
Between TyTy, Pettiford, Martin and Clemence they should shoot better.
I also think banking on actual PGs running the offense combined with expected individual improvements we should be okay. Not great, but good enough.
Jalen, Braun, Ochai and Bryce are all capable of shooting better than they did last year.
-
I like getting Christian Bishop. Big time athlete, lob guy, plays hard, well coached. Self said he wanted to get more athletic, well Pettiford and Bishop give him that. Cam Martin likes to dunk.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Curry wasn’t in the cards anymore, remember he hasn’t signed. Just a thought and connecting the dots of why Self has gone hard after bigs as well
-
Maybe some scheme tweaks as well. I can’t imagine Self watches film of games this year and thinks what these guys ran was good offense. As the game continues to change, maybe we see some more wrinkles to the offense. It’s not just personnel that struggled.
-
Portal hit 1200.
Should add another 100 this week or so
-
Joseph Yesufu- yes please (if we can’t win the TyTy sweepstakes)
-
@BeddieKU23 Curry not coming has been in the back of my mind
-
The tea leaves say so, he won’t get much if any playing time here with the way things are going. When Self took Martin I thought this was likely, now with the pursuit of Bishop it seems cemented. It seemed like a decent take in November but 5 months later + Curry’s so-so season, I think we’ve moved on.
-
Interesting reading Auburn’s board in regards to TyTy.
They got a transfer guard in Zep Jasper, reliable scorer/defender from College of Charleston.
They made the top 4 for Methzu transfer guard Xavier Pinson and it looks like Auburn is favored to land him.
They have been recruiting 2022 5 star point guard Scotta Henderson for a long time, favored in the crystal ball to land him and he’s possible to reclassify in 2021. It sounds like they want Scoot the most, given the time invested in the recruitment. Not saying that sways TyTy one way or the other but I think its significant that Auburn is heavy after guards and it isn’t just TyTy
-
“As of now, it looks as if Bill Self and the Jayhawks have the most momentum.”
-
@BShark Would be nice if true…
-
@Kcmatt7 Would believe this is 100% tied to Ochai’s decision.
-
whoa!
-
They see Umude as mostly a 4 who can play the 3 in a pinch. Might end up as a super sub.
-
I don’t see how you talk that guy into a bench role.
-
If they are thinking he is a 4 (which upon review of his tape he probably is) Jalen’s spot is in trouble. He’s better than Jalen.
-
Bill is dealing right now, mercy.
TyTy gonna end up in the GLeague so I wonder who we pivot to.

Really? Where you seeing this?

@BeddieKU23 Nothing official yet.

Disappointing but expected tbh. Gave myself a day or two to dream it was possible here but knew it was a pipedream

Devin Askew transferring from Kentucky

Saw it mentioned that he is “Anrio Adams if he played big minutes”

My first thought when I saw he entered:

I’m with you. He shot 34.5% from the field and 27.8% from 3. 2.9/2.0 assist-to-turnover ratio. Hard pass. He’s from Sacramento so he probably goes back home to a west coast school.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Yeah. Played more than Grimes and ended up with worse stats.
-
It is hard to figure out what on that UK roster is garbage and what was just Calipari being in way over his head this season. Not a single player for them appeared to be statistically efficient.
-
I think Umude decides this week and if he does it’ll be KU. Still one open scholarship left, then can work on Tyty for the last spot. Jossell still the other domino.

This would be awesome. So is Bishop basically in wait and see if we have a spot mode?

I think it’s one or the other, yes. Not sure Bishop is willing to jump quite yet.

Thought we have only one right now right? 3 out, 2 in currently.

Out: Silvio, Garrett, Mitch, TGF, Enaruna, Gethro, (6) In: Adams, Clemence, Curry, Pettiford, Martin (5)
1 open, 1 more almost certainly (Jossell)
-
@FarmerJayhawk Right the 3/2 thing was more post season announcements. TGF/Enaruna/Gethro all announced out. Bobby and Martin in.
So yeah one spot right now but like you said Jossell seems likely as it seems clear they want another guard as well.

Yeah I have to write it out every time so I don’t screw up the count lol

I think it is time to quit counting Curry. Is there a reason he hasn’t signed an LOI?
-
@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Committed after the early period was over. Late period starts in a week or so.
-
So does Bishop have two years of eligibility or did the extra year of eligibility only apply to seniors? I’m confused how that works.
-
@Kcmatt7 the way I think about it is this year basically didn’t exist. So whatever eligibility anyone had entering 20-21 carries over into 21-22. So like Curry has 4 years to play 3, Bishop 3 to play 2, Jalen still has 4(!) to play.
-
@FarmerJayhawk appreciate it

Curry wasn’t necessarily signed to be an immediate impact player at KU. He’s someone that while he has insane athleticism for someone with his build, he’s built like Zion, doesn’t have the quickness to guard P5 players because of his current build. A year to sl down and refine his skills and Curry is someone who could man the 5 spot his last couple of seasons after Dave, Cam, and Mitch are all gone.
-
Mercy. - -just saw Askew from Kentucky in the transfer. – Now I know they will be fine but right now – - that program is a dumpster fire
-
Askew wasn’t good as a freshman. He needed to be a rotation piece instead of a starter.
