Available. Would look pretty good in crimson and blue…
-
Stat line looks like a guy who likes to get in the lane.
-
Why is he leaving? Would take

Which is exactly what Bill loves.

I don’t think that’s been put out there but I have twitter de-activated for a bit so I could have missed something.

-
@FarmerJayhawk I have zero doubt the staff will inquire.

If they haven’t already! Get your FaceTime ready, Coach H.

Go get HIM

Watched a podcast talking about Johnson’s departure. It’s not a good look when you leave before the season is over.
Capel apparently has been frustrated with him, Johnson did avg 3 fouls a game as their starting PG… Seemed to have an issue staying on the court. Fouled out in 3 games, had 4 fouls in 5 other games.
Seems like this is a mutual thing. Tread carefully here but man he’d have a chance at a fresh start and a chance to really help a blue blood team.
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I think he is good enough to take a chance on, like Malik.
-
From what I remember seeing him on TV and then watching videos seems like a more athletic Garrett, functional perimeter shot, better vision. Concerning were the fouls/turnovers and taking bad shots. His shooting splits are basically the same as Marcus. We’ll see where it goes
-
Pitt’s 2nd leading scorer is also leaving the team. Au’diese Toney avg 14 ppg, 5.8 reb per
Trouble for Capel brewing…
-
@BeddieKU23 Fire sale!

Believe their leading scorer will be next

Nice, nice. Also hearing Mitch and ginger snipes will be back
-
@FarmerJayhawk Threehan makes sense, I had been hearing Mitch was taking a job with the WEF.

Yeah, he’s finishing his master’s this year. He’ll probably work some, take like one class, and play ball if in fact he comes back.

what is it that Bossi is confirming on 247?

Read that Johnson was called out by Capel for the amount of technicals he has gotten in his career. Capel benched him and now he has transferred. Yikers
-
How many has he had?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Doesn’t say. Just read some social media pointing out Capel calling him for his behavior on the court and the next week he’s gone…

Yeah, and Capel will probably soon be gone as well.

Pittsburgh really doesn’t care about bball unfortunately
-
@BeddieKU23 It did when Dixon was there, and when we had, “send it in, Jerome!”
-
Most pitt fans look back at that era as a one off that will never return due to the administration and booster support lacking in the program. Maybe a different coach and approach could work but seems like they are bottom of the acc now for the foreseeable future
-
@BeddieKU23 Which is crazy because I remember Pitt student section was wild. They will pack that gym when Pitt is good.
ACC is just a monster.
-
@Kcmatt7 right! And surely there is talent there.
-
They have fan support of a Top 5-6 ACC team from that era so your right, if you build it they will come. However building it has been a major issue. Capel had some momentum but its stalled in a major way and looks like its headed even further down. Their recruiting/transfer ability has been abysmal with Capel known as the bag guy when he was at Duke

That’s why I say that after this season he’ll probably be gone.
-
Certainly seems like he’s on the hot seat. If his leading scorer leaves, who’s a Soph I think that seals its
-
So, I’m taking bets, I say that Coach K retires after this season. If he does, who’ll take over the Duke program and what will become of it?
-
@Marco I thought Jeff Capel was supposed to be the next Duke coach. He might be available.

Thats what I’ve been hearing a lot also. - -I think he was an assistant under K for some years after he Graduated if I’m not mistaking
-
@jayballer67 that’s not going to happen imo
-
-
Transfer portal approaching 250, going to be a record season for free agency
-
Any good PG prospects?
-
So far there isn’t a “must go after” one that’s hit. Some have pleaded for the Pittsburgh PG Johnson but he has his issues. The next month will be fun to watch how many hit the portal.
-
If we don’t go after Johnson, I’m worried a better option may not come.
At the same time - you have to ask the question if he is really that much more of a positive on the court than just playing Harris. If you don’t think he is much of an upgrade (stats with Johnson are definitely misleading) than I get why we aren’t pressing hard.
I want Johnson though. He is a high level athlete and I think Bill could probably get more out of him than Capel. Turnovers and shot selection are an issue, but we just do not have anyone on our roster that can go fetch a bucket the way Johnson can. He is a playmaker on the floor.
At the same time, the staff probably pays good money to have sources with ears to the ground about who they think ends up shaking loose. They may have a target in mind already.

Seems like a guy who you’d want on your team… I think he may be back at Columbia, but maybe not.

I’d be a taker if we had no other options. We’ll have Harris back and I like him, but we need another guy also who can and will take shots.

I don’t know let me ask you this. Do we REALLY need a PG next Season ? I mean is it an absolute must ? The reason I ask is I just wonder we the PT DeJuan is getting and or experience , I think actually if he has or will grown from experience wise this Season and off Seasoning Conditioning knowing the system even better , I just don’t think it’s a must need for us do you ? I think if Harris could work well enough to be able to run the team distribute the ball , were going to have enough Scoreres on the offensive end w ith what we will return and what’s coming in - -I realize no PG coming in but - we know Harris is going to be another Marcus before it;s said and done on the defensive end , already disruptive- -I could be wrong , for me I just don’t think it’s a 5 alarm bell if we don’t land that PG. Seems like we got one in the fold right here - - -right now has shown enough at times this year. I think with this years experience he has gotten little man would work fine.
Bryce could even probably spot fill in when Harris is resting, Bryce has played that a tad bit this year right ? - I’m not saying your one that has said we have to have that Pg , I’m more asking you - - your opinion in question form - -do you think we do ?
-
My concerns with Johnson are the fouls and shot selection. There’s a concern he’s a bit of a red flag… His coach certainly put him on blast and then he left shortly after. He was benched for bad on the court behavior… Not the best look tbh. This is one you tred carefully with. Maybe he just really needs a fresh scene. I like the fit for KU but I’m worried.

Good metrics, seems like a quality shooter
-
Absolutely this team needs a PG.
Harris has had his moments this season but he needs more development before we rely on him 30 minutes a game. The better question is, without getting a PG who’s his backup. That’s even scarier.
-
The smallest player in D-1 Darnell Rogers (5’2) is transferring from UMBC. Kid had a feature on Gameday over the weekend, has a following.

He is a real target.

Harris is best as a back-up imo.
